Day 75, The Princesses.

August 4th, 2015

Dear Journal,

Got up and had breakfast as usual, with oats this time instead. Still, nothing normal though. Food here actually isn't bad, it's kinda like the food humans have except y'know, they don't eat meat.

They don't eat grass either, it's about as weird to them as it is to us. They're fine with flowers though for some reason, when they're properly prepared of course. But make it make sense dammit!

Hay seems to be the replacement for a lot of wheat based products. Overall: not bad, not bad… I still definitely miss meat though. (I want bacon…)

Pecos also a pretty good cook too. (Not as good as Alyssa though.)

But, I asked Kaiser about the history of this mansion like I said I would yesterday, I didn't just get the history of his mansion or his family, I got a whole lot more…

Apparently, this place has been in his family for generations. Kaiser is just one of the many from a long line of Dukes. His family, the "star" family, is one deeply connected to the royal family. By that I mean they're related to them, not directly, it's pretty distant actually but they're still related. Which of course, is why he has his position. (He's also a prosecutor alongside being a duke)

His father "Brightstar" wasn't exactly the best pony. He wouldn't tell me much about him, probably due to his own comfort. But he had an affair with someone letting the "wretched brother" Kaiser has into existence. He wouldn't dare say his name.

His parents pressured him. "Why can't you be like your brother, they said…" Is what he said. That was… Wow… Just wow. It definitely explains a lot, how he acts, everything.

"All that bastard wants is to prove he's better than me. Well, he did. Is he happy now…?" I don't know much about him or his brother but-

Ugh… I wish the world worked like that. But I already know everyone can't magically get along.

Sunset was right, Kaiser honestly isn't that bad when you get to know him. He's pretty respectful and oddly humble too. With his whole background I expected him to be a lot more arrogant…

But "now is not the time for bedtime stories" as he said. (Seriously, why does he speak so weirdly?) Kaiser wanted us to meet the princesses before our actual official meeting with them. (Which is on the eighth of august) He could only tell us so much about them so it was better for us to just see them for ourselves.

So, Kaiser took me and Lonely Day to the castle, Minuette didn't come. I asked her if she wanted to and she just said no. It seemed like something was bothering her. Is she okay…? I really hope it isn't her memories… Then again, usually when I hope something bad doesn't happen, it happens.

Anyways, it wasn't a long walk since we're basically right next door. We got past the drawbridge but still weren't let in, Kaiser couldn't get us in either. Wonder what was up with that…?


"We just wanna see the-"

Dawn Break pointed her spear right at Lonely Day. No mercy, huh? Even to two ponies that probably seemed nothing more than kids… As expected from the current captain of the royal guard.

"And why should I let two random ponies I don't know see the princesses?"

"Just let us in, Dawn Break."

Dawn Break just looked at Kaiser with a scornful look. "Kaiser… Why would I trust you when you-!"

"Shut up, and just do it if you know what's good for you."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang and entered the scene. "That's enough, Dawn Break."

It was a "unicorn" with a rather feminine build his hair was long and fluffy in a light wisteria color, the inner part was a dark violet. His eyes, bright purple and his coat, a dark amethyst with a dark purple spot on his flank. And strangely enough, he didn't have a cutie mark at all.

"You can let them in."

Dawn Break just turned to the "unicorn" with a smile. "Hey kid, it's good to see you!"

The unicorn grabbed Dawn Break and quickly pulled her towards him so he could whisper something. "Shhh! I told you not to call me that, especially not around them!"

Well, Alright, Alright…. She got it, geez… "Your wish is my command, your majesty." Dawn Break took a "regal" bow, she was obviously joking.

I swear sometimes…

The strange "unicorn" turned his attention to his expected guests. "Kaiser…? Then you must be…?"

"Lonely Day."

"And Bliss Flower."

Wait, if he already knew who they were and what "Dawn Break" said before then was he…? No, he looked too plain, plus he didn't have any wings like the other princesses too.

Something about him was oddly familiar to Bliss Flower Though… He looked kinda like the pony from her dreams…

"Good, I'm Selene, it's a pleasure to meet you."

And despite how the two thought of him, it seemed like he was indeed, Selene, The Prince(ss) Of The Stars

"Come now, Lulu and Aunti-"

Selene cut himself off as he realized what he was about to say. God, now that would've embarrassed himself big time…

"My mother and aunt are waiting for you."

Meanwhile, Kaiser probably wanted to say something smart like, "you should get better guards" but he refrained from doing so. That wouldn't do any favors for him, especially with his already skewed reputation.


Prince Selene led us to the throne room.

This is still extremely surreal for both of us. I mean, we're magical horsie land about to meet the actual demi-gods and rulers of this land. Now that is a sentence I never thought I'd say.

Kaiser decided to wait for us outside for his own unknown "reasons."

Inside were the two rulers of this land Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, waiting for us all of ponies.

And I have to say that wasn't that bad. I might not be nervous when our actual meeting comes. (I doubt it.)

Both Princesses and Prince Selene were very nice.

Alex wanted to know the truth behind the event then and there but according to Luna "The time for us to tell you the truth is not at hoof yet."

"So, you should just enjoy yourselves here in the meantime." Celestia added on.

Celestia asked us if Kaiser had taken us anywhere so we could learn more about their world. When we both shook her heads no and told her he took us straight to Canterlot she seemed less than pleased…

He APPARENTLY should've done it, but he didn't. I don't think there's any specific reason (aside from how he was raised) for why he does things like this, he just does.

Sunset probably would've done if she was here. (Where is she anyway?)

Before we left Celestia pulled us both over to side to tell us something. "Watch over Kaiser for me, and don't let him give you any trouble, okay?" She winked at us too.

She's a lot more casual than I thought…

Kaiser was outside of the throne room waiting for us. He was staring at this painted glass mural of six ponies, the one in the center was obviously Prince Selene, the red one looked oddly like the "rose pony" I met a couple days ago, I have no idea who the other three ponies were but the one Kaiser seemed fixated on the most was the green stallion.

He quickly turned his attention to us when we told him when we were done but I think that might've been his brother….

There was another mural too of six other ponies one of looked like Princess Twilight. It seemed like the first one oddly mirrored the second one. Hm… I'll have to ask Selene about those later and his lack of wings… (Why didn't I do that earlier today?)

Alex said Luna looked strangely like "a mare he saw in his dreams." Like how Selene looked like the pony I saw in my dreams too.

If Luna has the ability to enter dreams he probably has that too since he's her son.

Maybe they were trying to reach us through our dreams or something…?

Well, that was our third day in the magical horse land of friendship.

So, as usual this is Bliss Flower, peace.
