Good day, everypony! I have a question for you all: when those ayakashi that looked like fireflies came out of the opening near the viewing, at one point there was a giant sword hovering above the scene.

Does anypony know what that was about?

I can think of no one better in form. However if your personality is not suitable for the task, some other pony might be more worthy. (Someone can be born of a royal line and be completely wrong on the throne.) You do not strike me as a cruel, petty or selfish ruler. I think your subjects are blessed.

Discord is...a spirit? Can he touch other lands? (This is the first she has ever heard of that subject being embodied in a being.)

Many Westerosi believe in the Stranger. He is neither good nor bad; simply unknown.

I think your land sounds very interesting. I should like to visit, but would I stand out too much?

Nopony is an alicorn who is not worthy of being an alicorn. Which is not to say we are perfect, far from it. But ruling is a responsibility that must be earned -- not a matter of heritage or popularity, as I understand human rulership is often based on.

I do not know what Discord did before he came to Equestria, but afterwards he was a statue for a thousand years, and more recently he has reformed. So he has certainly not bothered any other place in a very long time.

You would stand out, for I have never seen humans before I came to the Far Shore. But that does not mean you would be unwelcome.
