//------------------------------// // Entry #24 // Story: Starswirl's Journal // by AlesFlamas //------------------------------// My life is a lie. Everything I've been told, a falsehood, a fabrication. All my life my mother told me how my father was a great unicorn wizard, how he came from a long line of wizards who had served the royal family, and how someday I was destined to take his place. I waited, waited so long to be able to hold the position my father had held. And now that I'm here. . . I want to be any where but. My father was no wizard. I am no wizard. I have been LIED TO! Up to this point, I'd been depressed by the revelation which I was provided with today, but the sadness has given way to BLINDING FURY. I do not belong to a long line of wizards; I belong to a long line of fools, jack-a-napes, ninnies; to summarize, I AM A BUFFOON, born and bred to play the part of a buffoon! For I am not a wizard at all, but instead the court jester! Of all the bald-faced. . . I cannot even begin to fathom my own rage, and as such have no way to put it into words. Perhaps I should calm down and try to look at this from a more positive perspective. After all, how many can say that they spend every day in the personal company of the king? . . . .Actually, that doesn't make me feel any better.
