	So, apparently, after I dropped the spell, the rocks apparently liquified, and were sent hurtling back to their senders. How did I know? Let's just say that the cave I now call home happens to be nearby, and is now covered in mud.

As the two humans ran off, I decided to check again to see if the ponies were okay. They, in fact, were perfectly fine. I overheard some talks of revenge, but it appeared to be quickly dismissed by other ponies appearing to be a mix between pegasi and breezies. On top of that, I've just noticed a small, wingless dragon with a very interesting resemblance to Spike. He seems to be able to communicate with the ponies, as well.

... I've just realized that I can understand the other ponies. Does that mean that the Equish language has been around longer than recorded history?

Never mind that, however, this means that I can get a first-hoof account of the world! And, and...

I felt my stomach grumble in my excitement, reminding me that I still needed something to eat. And so, to avoid any suspicion with the ponies, I decided to recast the cloaking spell on myself, and follow the humans. Surely they have some food lying around. Either that, or I'm counting far too much on the human Rainbow Dash's lack of organization in her room.





Not too long after, I found myself facing a crudely built house-like structure, sitting atop a large spire of dirt and rock. I do feel pretty awful for stealing food, though, and are those donuts that they're eating?

Back at Canterlot, I wasn't much of a donut kinda pony. I typically ate meals at home, made by my parents, and occasionally Cadence. Donts were usually considered a breakfast item back then, but now...

Wait... back then... now... uh, let's see here... "back then" now refers to the future, while "now" is currently referring to this immediate moment, which is in the past, compared to the "back then", and... wait, did I just mentally call donuts donts?

...

...

Meh, I need food to think.

I licked my lips in anticipation, eyeing the donuts with so much focus that I nearly missed another woman enter the room, and chew out the other two, before dragging them out by the ears.

Now was the time. I quickly teleported into the room, and noticing that the donut stack appeared to be self-replenishing, I grabbed as many donuts as possible. Even though I heard what I'd frankly call the strangest singing I've ever heard coming from the next room over, I decided to ignore it, and leave as silently as possible.





I deeply regret deciding not to spy on the humans in the room.

Not knowing my way back, I decided to once again trail the two humans I had seen causing the landslide, in hopes that they'd return to the same location. Instead, they took a drastically different route, heading through a frigid deciduous forest. Along the way, after picking a bouquet of flowers for somebody named "Bumble", a small swarm of what appeared to be anthropomorphic bees swooped down, and begun carrying them off to their hive. In horror, I once again followed closely behind.

It seems that those bees don't like the "flutter-ponies". Now, I'm guessing that Fluttershy would easily change their mind if she were here, but as for now, it appears that the humans and the bee queen, (of whom I found to be the one named Bumble), were plotting to steal the Sunstone from the valley nearby.

The mention of a "Sunstone" got me thinking. I've heard of it a time or two before, in fact, from the Royal Canterlot Archives. It was rumored to be a long-lost artifact, which, in conjunction with the Crystal Heart, was meant to be used to retain a tranquil state of nature in any place that they're used in. To this day, however, the Crystal Heart alone does both the purpose of the supposed Sunstone, and it's own job.

With a tracking spell I modified literally on the fly, I was able to find my way back. I had to warn the ponies, even if it meant that I would likely change history forever. I flew as quickly as my wings could carry me, which was still quite slow compared to Rainbow. I'm just hoping that I'll make it in time.

I didn't.
