Starbright was in his study, focused on an advanced protection spell, when a letter flew through the open window and landed gently on his desk. He immediately recognized Twilight Sparkle's handwriting and opened the letter with curiosity.
**Dear Starbright,**
**I hope you are well. I need to tell you something important. Recently, I have been researching an ancient legend about Nightmare Moon. According to my findings, Nightmare Moon, who was banished to the moon a thousand years ago, could return during the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration. I have tried to warn Princess Celestia, but she doesn't seem to take my concerns seriously. Instead, she has sent me to Ponyville to oversee the festival preparations.**
**I feel that something big and dangerous is about to happen. Could you investigate as well? I really need your support in this.**
**Love,**
**Twilight Sparkle**
Starbright read the letter carefully, feeling his friend's concern. He knew that Twilight was always meticulous in her research and that if she was worried, there was a valid reason. However, he also understood the importance of not intervening to avoid creating a change in the original story.
He decided to respond to Twilight in a way that would encourage her to continue her investigation, but without fully supporting her fears about Nightmare Moon. Taking a scroll and quill, he wrote:
**Dear Twilight,**
**Thank you for sharing your concerns with me. I understand that you feel anxious about the legend of Nightmare Moon, but remember that it is just that, a legend. I am sure there is nothing to worry about and that everything will go well during the Summer Sun Celebration.**
**I trust your ability to oversee the festival preparations in Ponyville. I am sure you will do an excellent job and that everything will go according to plan. Don't let these old stories distract you from your task.**
**Love,**
**Starbright**
He knew that Twilight would not take his advice to not worry seriously and would probably investigate more on her own. But he also knew that he should not directly intervene in these crucial events.
He sent the letter and spent the rest of the day reflecting on the decision he had made. He knew that Twilight had the determination and skill to discover the truth for herself. He trusted that she would make the right decisions and that their friendship would be strong enough to overcome any misunderstandings.
Meanwhile, in Ponyville, Twilight received Starbright's response. She read the letter with mixed feelings. She felt hurt and a little angry that her best friend did not seem to take her concerns seriously.
**Dear Twilight,**

**Starbright**
Twilight sighed, feeling a pang of disappointment. "How can he think it's just a legend? I've researched so much about this," she murmured to herself. But despite her anger and hurt, she knew she had to continue with the mission Princess Celestia had assigned her.
With renewed determination, Twilight decided that, although her friend did not fully support her at this moment, she would not stop until she discovered the truth. "I have to find out what's going on," she thought as she headed to oversee the festival preparations.
And so, with a mix of emotions, Twilight continued her journey, determined to fulfill the princess's orders and unravel the mystery of Nightmare Moon on her own.
