I've changed my mind. I refuse to name my daughter after a pastry. Such practices might be common among Earth ponies but an Earth pony I am not. Given, it is a good name. Just not what I wish to call our daughter.

Six weeks now. The only thing keeping my dearest from wasting away is the constant company of Orich. And even that may not last much longer. According to Orich, they've stopped providing him with all but water, and too close an eye is being kept on him to sneak him anything. I'm truly beginning to worry now. The king, little over a month ago, held Starswirl in such high esteem. What change could have befallen him to make him treat Starswirl in such a way. . .other than the obvious that is. 

She's started walking. And I hate it. I hate that he couldn't be here to see it. I have half a mind to march up to the king's throne room myself and demand he be released. In fact, that's exactly what I'll do. Worst that happens, I'll just end up in the dungeon with my beloved.
