Starswirl has finally said something and well… it’s been absolutely useless. Why the hell did I…

Wait… hmm…

Okay what he said actually makes some sense now and could be useful to my investigation.

Starswirl reviewed the reports and suggested that it was impossible for any seaponies or deep ponies, or of the more common denizens of this world to manipulate, poison or kill me. He pointed out that if they were going to kill or wound me, they’d have to have thousands of members, and that that is impossible because these occurrences have occurred for so long. He also discarded magical creatures such as the sirens, who, in spite of their powers of mind control, wouldn’t be able to actually affect my mental state or senses to this extent. He pointed out that we instead need to look for something far more powerful, something, probably singular, that could live forever.

I thought I knew this… but I’ve just realized the implications of his conclusion. It can’t be the sirens or some of the more common magical beings. I’m looking… well, we’re looking for something of immense power and life.

That… narrows down the pool significantly. I should apologize to Starswirl.
