Entry Two:
It has been an interesting day, to say the least.
My first odd interaction happened as soon as I woke up. In fact, it was what woke me up. I was startled as during the first hours of light by an intense thunderstorm. Not very interesting, until I noticed there wasn't a single cloud in the skies. After what felt like hours of constant thunder, (though it was probably only a few minutes,) I also noticed the lightning was very localized, and that it had started a small forest fire in a nearby swamp.
I followed the lightning on a whim, to find none other than a Zap Apple Tree. The leaves were growing in clumps along the branches of the tree as the lightning struck. I'd heard of these mystical trees before, but had never actually seen them. It was a marvelous sight, though slightly worrying as the lightning seemed to strike a little too close a few times.
By the time the lightning stopped, I'd noticed it was sometime around noon. While the morning had been interesting, I was still no closer to finding a sustainable food source.
The second odd event to happen today is something that gives slight cause for alarm. I came across a cow today. It was a lone cow, just grazing in the fields, right next to the swamp. I almost shouted for joy upon seeing this. To me, it was a sign of progress, of hope, of Life! It was a sign of Ponies! This meant I wouldn't starve in some random fields! I wouldn't have to starve any longer.
I hid under the tall grass and shifted my form into a cow, similar, but not a copy of the one I now had my eyes set upon. I slowly approached, so as not to seem desperate to feed. I've gone almost two weeks now without proper nourishment, and almost three days with no form of love at all. I'm surprised I managed to hold it together as well as I did, actually. I called out to the bovine, only to be ignored. Thinking that she didn't hear me, I went closer and called again. I was ignored a second time. And a third time, and a fourth time. Getting slightly annoyed at the cows obliviousness, I approached and tapped her on the flank. The bovine turned and gave me a look that was actually off putting. Once again I tried to ask directions. The cow simply stared at me in an with empty, unintelligent eyes. I was starting to doubt the intelligence of this cow. In fact, its mannerisms seemed to indicate it was a simple animal. Just my luck.
Just to test my theory, I started saying random and unintelligible phrases, as well as in various different languages. It was actually an amusing interaction in hindsight. I seem to specifically remember one instance when I started singing a song about a miniature Minotaur. I have no Idea where it even came from, it was just a small tune that played through my mind.
My efforts were in vain by the time all was said and done. The cow just simply did not give a buck! As a last straw, I removed my disguise. The green flames enveloped me, as I revealed my true form. I struck a dramatic pose, and gave a menacing gesture to the cow, as well as various other dazzling effects. I must say, I would have put some showmares to shame with that display. I know I was quite proud.
The cow didn't even budge.
Out of pure frustration, (mostly that that reveal had gone to waste) I swatted the sow on the flank. Interestingly enough, that got a reaction out of it. She ran away, giving a long moo as she left. I will say that I was surprised to see when my blow connected with her, her entire body turned a shade of red. I think I'm becoming delirious.
The sun is setting now. I will continue my search tomorrow.
Entry 2.5
I woke in the middle of the night by an odd feeling that coursed through my body. It felt like magic, but of what sort, I don't know. I would also like to note that the writing in the previous pages of this book are now glowing. I"m too tired to determine the cause for now. I'm going back to sleep.
