There are no letters on this page. No transcript, no articles. It’s hoofwritten and there are a few ink blots on the page. Nothing but a small entry. 

I’m going to stop doing this. It doesn’t seem right. I’ve discovered something I shouldn’t have. 

I can’t write it down here, not at all. If anyone finds this half-finished manuscript I’m sorry. Changeling secrets are hard to keep, harder if they’re centuries old. My mothers wouldn’t be happy to know I wrote this down. I did it without permission. 

I thought that if I knew what happened those years ago before I was even born, I’d understand why they are like they are now. Why they’re so protective of me. I knew nothing of Odonata, let alone the previous queens. Mothers never told me. 

I know something they don’t.

I’m leaving tomorrow as I write this. I’m leaving to figure out our history. 

Hopefully, I find it.

Signed Princess Nata.
