Dear Diary,

I think I might have a problem. 

I just had a coughing fit, and I suddenly got a bloody nose, which is honestly starting to scare me. Silver Wing has rushed to get the doctor, and Heartstrings has put a cold wet towel on my forehead for some reason. 

She keeps telling me that it’s going to speed up the clot, but I don’t really see how it can help. All I know is that my entire face is cold.

So Doctor Neuron just left. Apparently my disease is causing my blood pressure to rise, which is what caused the rupture in the blood vessel and the bloody nose… Or something like that. I’m still feeling so dizzy.

Tia accompanied the doctor when he came to see me and was nice enough to stroke my mane while I was being examined. I could hear her heartbeat and I was reminded of the way my mother would crawl into bed with me when I woke up from nightmares and cuddle me until I fell asleep. 

I remember… her mane. That light brown that I loved to nestle in when I was really small. 

I miss her.

Tia came back to see me about an hour ago and helped me to the bathroom. She made the joke that she was taking care of a little filly and while I knew that she was just trying to cheer me up. I wasn’t in the mood for it. 

She helped me clean the blood off my face, as well as the general filth that comes from spending two days in bed. In all honesty, I was glad that she was helping me. My… Everything was in too much pain for me to do anything. 

While I was being washed, Tia started telling me all about that day’s court, and how ‘Prince Blueblood’ got his hooves tangled in one of the curtains and tripped in front of the Saddle Arabian ambassador. 
It hurt to laugh. 

Then she started singing me a song that used to be my lullaby when I was a filly. The song of the first star.

‘And so the Earth saw the sky and wept because it was lonely. Her tears floated away and into the black where they became the stars.’

I miss my Mum, but at least I still have Tia to look after me.
