22nd of March, 1129, Friday

There’s something wrong with Rainbow.

Yesterday I found her.

She stood in the middle of

I can barely describe it, even after a day.

My hoof was shaking so much yesterday I could barely write.

I’ve locked her up in the guest room. She remains in a state. It’s catatonia, I’m sure of it. I’ve seen animals go like that during tonic immobility or times of extreme stress, or when I need to control them. But I have no idea what could have possibly possessed her to do what she did.

I’m not sure how many were able to get away, but it was

so odd that she was able to

kill

so many

Almost as if they just stood there and let themselves be hurt.

I don’t even know where to begin.

I don’t know how to start describing this, but it was last evening, when I caught Rainbow after she awoke. She had gone through dozens of rabbits, one by one, snapping their necks so violently that the skin tore, causing excessive bleeding.

By the time I found her, there was nothing left.

The incident happened just behind the house, where the garden meets the Reserve.

There was blood all over her hooves and her face, and her eyes were reduced to pinpricks. She stood with her mouth open, in the middle of a ring of rabbit corpses that she had arranged in a circle. The grass almost looked painted. There was a part in the circle that had a small semi-oval line that cut through it, and at the top there was a very distinct triangular shape that intersected the circle of corpses.

From the colour of the blood, I could tell she had been standing there for at least half an hour before I found her. Maybe she only stepped there just then, but I’ve seen my fair share of blood and I know how it dries.

I don’t know what caused Rainbow to snap like this, but it is not something I think I can overlook. I’ll be sending a message to the castle in a bit. I hope they will send someone to help take Rainbow back.

For now, I’ll have to go console the other animals, and lock up the book and object for safekeeping.

I am so shaken that I can barely remember anything else that happened these last two days.
