The time draws near.

I must be brief. My time is short. She is coming. I will not survive.

I must make sure my work doesn't die. There is too much at stake. Oh, Diane, I have led a long life. There is a lot to tell. This will be my last chapter. I fear that I am already out of time. I will begin immediately.

The world we live in is not a simple world, my friends. And yet, it is simpler than anything we could have imagined. My research into magic has shown me that there isn't much in the world to explore. 

My mind is morphing. I must make haste.

You know, haste sounds a lot like paste. That's a fun wor-

If my research is correct, then Magic should be functionally impossible. It is bending the laws of nature, it flies in the face of logic and reason. We can't quantify it, we can't understand it. Magic, if I may be so blunt, tears "holes" into the natural order. What strikes me as incredibly shocking, though, is that this is somehow "contained".

The holes have a way of closing themselves, leaving absolutely zero trace. This means that I cannot study their properties, as they are simply OMYGOSHTHEYHAVECAKE!!!





I must focus. The holes close themselves, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. Well, most of us anyway.

They call her "Chancellor Puddinghead". She is the acting Queen of the Earthpony realm. She is pink, with an impossibly frizzy mane. I use the word "impossibly" on purpose.

Every day, C. Puddinghead defies the laws of nature and reality, in the same way that I noted magic does. She constantly teleports, produces objects from nowhere, eats an impossible amount, and performs physical feats which should not be possible for somepony of her size and strength. On top of this, she has an almost perfect memory, and a great amount of power over the world around her.

Almost like Magic.

Interestingly, my magic becomes much stronger and harder to trace the closer I get to the Chancellor. This is the most disturbing aspect. It seems like her reality warping abilities are commutative. Also interestingly, I seem to have been permanently affected by being in her presence.

But my research shows even more facilitating elements. While to standard readings she checks out as normal, when I searched for the "magic holes", she scored higher than even a spell in progress. On top of this, when she warped reality (by producing a "giant hammer" out of seemingly nowhere), my meter broke. Something about her is different.

And I know what. After hours of research, my sources prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is, in fact...
