When a body encased in ice and dark magic is recovered from a cave in the Frozen Spires along the western border of the Crystal Empire, the only clue to the pony's passing is an ordinary diary.
The following is a translation of that diary. It details the final dangerous and ill-fated expedition to the Frozen Spires of the Western Crystal Empire, and the birth of one of Equestria's most ancient evils which will forever lurk in the mountainous barrens at the edges of civilization.

This is an interesting idea and the first chapter does well on hooking the reader, posing many questions for the rest of the story to shed some light on. Looking forward to your Windigo headcanon!
Though on the downside, I noticed quite a lot of grammar errors and typos, as well as some redundant repetition of the same words in one sentence. Nothing to make me stop reading, but still fairly annoying. It’s nothing that a good editor couldn’t fix in a few minutes though

Is this you offering your help as an editor? If so, I would be highly grateful.

Eh, not exactly offering, just stating what the issues are. However, I think I can comb through the story... should we talk the details over a PM?
It's rather interesting how horrific the windigo is in real native American culture.
