Day 21

More training. I think some of the ponies down here are already starting to get tired of apple-based food, because I've started seeing foraging groups leave the tunnels and come back from time to time with different kinds of food. Nuts, berries, stuff like that. I think I might've even seen a fish or two in the stuff that they came back with. Didn't think we had any meat-eaters down here, but I guess I'm wrong.

So anyway, we kept up with some more training today. Luna was teaching about stealth, and how to take advantage of our surroundings in battle, while Cadance talked about what she learned from the Changelings long ago about deception. Starlight, of course, is still teaching unicorn magic, and I'm doing hoof-to-hoof combat with the other guards helping me teach.

I also brought up Whirlwind to Starlight today. She said that we could consider setting up a stealth mission to bring him over to our side, but she'd have to go back again first to figure out the best strategy. Plus, apparently Daybreaker is a bit more aware now of the fact that there's some sort of resistance going on. Starlight told me that she'll likely have to spend more time away from the tunnels again since she's been called back to Canterlot from her so-called "duties" to defend Daybreaker. Bleh. But yeah, I think Luna's gonna take over magical instruction in the meantime, while Starlight's probably going to end up being forced to fight against us for some time until she figures out how she can fully defect without any suspicion.
