//------------------------------// // December // Story: The Life of A God // by Eventide Indigo //------------------------------// December 16th Hello diary! The class is going to do a Secret Santa Hooves gift exchange. Three days ago, we all chose a name from a hat and then we had to get a present for that pony. I got a filly named Luna. I don't remember ever seeing her in class, but apparently we have been in the same class for three years. She is the sort of filly that is just naturally invisible. Hardly anypony talks to her. Hardly anypony cares about her. She has no friends. She seems nice, but I had no idea what to get her! That's the problem when you don't have lots of friends... you don't know what people like. I asked mom and we went out to the market. I got her a pretty necklace with a bit of opal. It was pretty and I think she will like it. I hope she does. I wonder what I will get? It was expensive, but I think it will be worth it. Luna is very pretty too. She reminds me of the night sky. Her coat is a dark blue and her mane a lighter shade of that. She doesn't have her cutie mark either. Luna is an ali-acorn too! She has wings and a horn as well. Maybe we can be friends! -Discord * * * December 17th We did the exchange today and I gave her the gift. She seemed really happy and she blushed when I gave it to her. I like Luna. She doesn't care that I look weird. I promised her we would hang out tomorrow at lunch recess - but Luna is so nice, I think I might hang out with her for the whole week... if she's okay with that. Luna is Tia's sister. She is younger, but I guess she got to skip a grade because she was very smart. She can fly and her magic is super powerful... but not as powerful as Tia's magic. I wonder what magic is like. I bet it is really fun to use. I can't wait to see Luna again! -Discord * * * December 25th 8:00 Happy Hearth's Warming Eve! I am going to go wake up mom now so we can eat breakfast and open presents. 8:30 Mommy isn't waking up. I guess she is just really tired from last night because she had to work late. I will let her sleep in because we still have a whole fun day ahead of us and I want her to be happy and not grumpy. I will go read my book for an hour. 9:45 Mom still isn't waking up! She usually snores really loud, but she isn't snoring right now so that is good. I will try again in a bit. I am really hungry... I think I have an idea.... 10:00 I made waffles and they didn't burn this time! I am putting them on a tray with some orange juice so mom doesn't have to get up and make breakfast. I hope she wakes up when she smells breakfast. 10:12 Shh. Be very quiet, diary! I am snuggled up next to mom (who is still sleeping!) with my breakfast. I hope she isn't mad... I spilled some orange juice on the blanket. She is very cold right now, and stiff. She is very pale. I just pulled the blankets over her so she isn't cold anymore. I hope she wakes up soon... I am very lonely. 12:00 Mom isn't awake yet, but I am okay. I went downstairs and made a sandwich for lunch because that is the only thing I can make. I made mom one too and I put it in the fridge so it'll stay fresh. I am eating my sandwich next to her, I hope she doesn't mind a few crumbs. I brought my book in too and I read a story out loud to her because she always wants me to practice my reading. I bet she is very proud right now because I pronounced a lot of the long words right! 2:00 I am starting to worry a bit. Mom hasn't moved since this morning. She doesn't even open her eyes a little when I shake her. I think she is very sick. That is why she is so pale and stiff... I brought her some tissues in case she sneezes. 6:00 I brought Cupcake into the bed and had a nap. Mom is still cold even though I put a bunch of blankets over her. I drew mommy sleeping, she looks very peaceful. I am hungry. Usually mom would make dinner for me but she is sleeping. I don't know how to make a dinner. I guess I will just have cereal. 10:00 Mom is still asleep but it is like she is awake, like she is here with me! I put a fire in the fireplace... it was a lot of work and the wood was very heavy but it worked. Maybe mom will warm up now. If mom were awake, I think she would tell me to go to bed now so I am getting ready to fall asleep. Cupcake is here beside me and the snow is so high that the downstairs windows are covered! I just gave mom a kiss and a hug goodnight. I hope she wakes up tomorrow. If she doesn't.. I won't be mad at her because she is just really tired and sick. I will call a doctor tomorrow. Goodnight mom! Happy Hearth's Warming Eve! I love you. -Discord
