“A griffon? Those are the big bird-lions, right? Hmm… I never saw any during my expedition through the Everfree, I think they live reeeeally far to the east? Do you think they meow or squawk? Maybe one of my monster friends would know, you think?”

“Aww, naaaww, it’s okay, spirit! Spirit reception is pretty bad in the Everfree anyway. And if we never got lost, we would’ve never met Tatzlpony! It was a serendipitous detour in the end!

“…Huh? The crystal ball…? What did it say? …Oh! Well, quite a few I suppose. I tried to brush up on as many languages as possible in preparation of my quest. But uh, heh, turns out most of them are dead languages; It seems most of the outside worlds speaks a common language now… *cough* …Yet I definitely do not regret learning them! It’s my duty, neigh, my honor to preserve the history and culture of the Everfree! It would be a terrible shame to lose it all. Most breezies aren’t really interested in this sort of stuff, but it’s kinda really fascinating to me!”

“Not yet, but I reeeeeally want to go! It’s on the top of my list! Apparently there are tons of legends surrounding that castle, but I couldn’t recall any record of it in the archives! Not even Star Swirl wrote anything about it! So it must be at least… a hundred years old by my estimate, maybe more! Cataloging history is a relatively new thing for us breezies (and as far as I can tell, no other monster tribe really bothers with it at all), so there’s quite a few gaps that need to be filled. 

“But my favorite myth I’ve heard so far? It was the home of a legendary heroine who defended the whole world for centuries, finally slain by a nightmarish monster. Of course, it is just a myth. Exciting to fantasize about though!”

“Howdy Moof’d! I’ve seen my fair share of cutie marked monster ponies, but ya gotta understand not every monster has one (like our very own windigo pal). I reckon tatzlponies just ain’t one of them monsters that gets a mark. I sure wouldn’t mind havin’ one though… I think it’d be pretty nifty. What kinda cutie mark would a lil’ ol’ Tatzlpony like me have I wonder?”

“Nah, Fiddlesticks don’t live in Ponyville far as I can tell. But I guess I can’t rightly be sure where she is now though. It’s been a long while since I’ve seen her.”

“Accent?”

“Mmmmmmmm… no, we’re all probably “precious and adorable” by your standards. ‘Wrathful’ wouldn’t be anyone’s first choice to describe a breezie, nor would be ‘threatening’ or ‘formidable’ or anything close to ‘respectable.’ That’s somewhat of the problem I been trying to tackle on my venture.”

“You must mean my BBBFF, Shining Armor! I never really… ‘fit in’ with the other breezies, but Shiny was always there for me! And I’m very proud of him now because… Hmm. Well, Flutterbat seems to confide in you spirits, and apparently that’s good enough for me… Shining Armor is Prince of the Breezie Realm! Woo! …Mm, ahem, yes, quite…”

“Firstly pirstly, psychic powers just run in the pie family, no discovery necessary. We have a super long and super duper mysterious family history. It, it’s all very hush-hush. Mum’s the word. Yep. As for my special super power psychic abilities… Well I can talk to you spirits! Oh, and my Pinkie Sense warns me of any vague and immediate slapstick, that’s pretty keen. Oh, and sometimes I can see into other ponies’ memories too! But only if they let me… and only sometimes. I’m still working on that one…”

“Duh! All of them are my favorite! They’re my bestest buddy pals in the whole wide world!

 Flutterbat is so gentle and nice and has a great singing voice when she thinks nopony’s listening! And Dashie is a lot of fun! She has a lot of great prank ideas! And Tatzlpony, super helpful and huggy! Clarity’s really busy most of the time, but she’s really nice too and tells the best stories! And Twily… well, I don’t understand a whole lot of what she says, especially when she starts talking in ‘Breezie,’ and she can be a little bit grumpy sometimes. But I think she’s just shy. I can tell she wants to talk to us super bad (I’d recognize those excited jitters anywhere!), she just doesn’t really know how yet.

 I just love them all soooo much!”
