Sarissa's Diary - 6th Granite 260
I've learned that Lady Virtue now has a personal guard as per Glaive's suggestion. If he's right, then there may be some attempt on My Lady's life in the near future. I truly hope that he's wrong. If it turns out to be true, and those mutants do make an attempt on her life, then I'll fight tooth and hoof to bury Elegy's chipped blade deep into the guilty party's cranium. Very deep. I'm going to be keeping an eye on those mutants that are currently dwelling among us. I don't like the idea of them spending any more time with us than absolutely necessary. They could be the ones wanting to make an attempt on Lady Virtue's life. Even if that's not the case, they might still end up wanting revenge against us. Or worse, they could be spying on us and working out our weak points. I know I'm in no position to speak against them after my little "mistake", but I really would like for their stay to be shortened as much as possible.
As far as the personal guard itself goes, I'm a bit disappointed that I was not even considered for the position. Disappointed, but not really surprised. I suppose after what I did, Lady Virtue has probably lost any trust she may have had in me. At least Glaive was a good choice. Speaking of which, I still have not heard what, if any, my punishment will be for attacking the Darkbolt. I can take being locked up for a while. I can even take being lashed. What I cannot take is losing my position in the militia. Losing Elegy. At least there's no indication that such will happen so far...
20th Felsite, 260
Unfortunate happenings today. A forgotten beast showed up, and several others in the militia were exposed to the effects of that cursed dust it had. Now Naginata, Partisan, Kris and Kukri are sick in the hospital. At least they managed to kill it, but I never got a chance to fight it myself! Maybe if I had made it there in time, we would have been able to take it down before so many ponies were affected. Perhaps I should be grateful that I was not among those harmed, especially after having finally gotten over the effects of that wound from that weird mutant weapon. I still feel a bit guilty for not having gotten there in time, regardless. If only I would have had a chance to slash into that things flesh...
Several days earlier, I learned that the stripy hybrid named Friesden accidentally earned her cutie mark via the actions of a strange mood. This is the first time I've heard of such a thing happening. I find it a shame that her talent was something that she found so distasteful. She's already of mixed heritage and appears to be mentally disabled because of it. She has my sympathy. I've thought about talking to her about the bone-carving thing, since I can relate to her plight of getting an unexpected cutie mark. At least I was able to adapt to and embrace mine. Perhaps I can teach her to do the same.
On an unrelated subject, I'm starting to worry about Lady Virtue. She seems to be under chronic stress and almost always looks weary. It's not surprising, given her position and all of the less-than-pleasant things that have happened around here as of late. I wish I could help, but I don't know if I can approach her about it. She's my superior, so speaking to her about emotional matters just doesn't seem appropriate. Not to mention that I'm not the best pony when it comes to such matters.
