Tethys, I am going to murder you, and perhaps Nightmare Moon as well.

It… it was impossible to simply move on so fast. I should have realized this when I wrote my entry earlier, but… well…

The point is. I wanted to know how was it possible for Luna to actually hurt Celestia to such a degree. Celestia didn’t brag and didn’t let me know much about how strong she actually was, but I was able to conclude that she could beat Luna in a straight fight. This does not explain why it took two weeks for Celestia to bring Luna down, especially since according to what I am hearing from the ponies, the vast majority of the ponies sided with Celestia.

I thus investigated and sure enough, I found out that Celestia had initially fled the castle to get help. However, her efforts to gather support were for naught. On her return with the the Royal Guard and loyalists in the Night Guard, they were blocked by enemies in the river.

Aquatic enemies.

Aquatic enemies using hydromancy. Who according to the witnesses and rumors, seem to indicate they had black bodies, black eyes, and kelp manes. And that when they were burned by Celestia from high, left no corpses.

Tethys - that foul monster - must have sent a large group of kelpies to assist Nightmare Moon. I don’t care whether Tethys was approached by Nightmare Moon or Tethys offered her services, she had a hoof in the torture my friend underwent! Those damn subjects of her can go to hell.

And if… if it is true that Tethys is helped by the Old One, then she deserves the most excruciating death possible.

But how can I find out for sure?
