“My power is poorly suited for the office of a monarch. I must suppress it at all times, even if it means losing a battle, to protect the lives of my little ponies.
 
I really must thank you, then, for giving me the opportunity to dig up this old outfit from the armory, and bringing me into this wild goose chase, away from any cities or settlements. It has been so long since I could truly unwind. Be honored; what you are about to experience has not been seen in thousands of years.
 
I hope you’re ready.”
