Today marks the first official day that I am writing in this journal. As I have stated previous, my name is Angel, and I am Princess Celestia's prized student. But what I may have forgotten to mention is I am what's called a "Bearer of Harmony" what that means is that I am part of a group of ponies sworn to protect the idea of friendship and use it to save Equestria from any who appose the idea. I, along with five others, are tasked with this job. We are important to this land and we can't let every pony down. I am the Element of Magic. Hello! There is also; Mezzo, the Element of Kindness, Sundown, the Element of Honesty, Glade, the Element of Loyalty, Harper, the Element of Laughter, and Free Range the Element of Generosity. We met only one year ago, but have already saved Equestria from an army of Changelings and an army of Minotaur.
Did I mention my assistant Jairus? He's a baby dragon that Celestia put in my care. He has an ultramarine blue with a graphite grey stomach, and dull walnut brown eyes, with two small horns on his head the same color of his stomach. He aims to please, but sometimes he doesn't do what I tell him to, and I have to get mad at him. He's not a Bearer though, so he doesn't help with what I do. Any way, I think I'm getting into more detail than I should in a journal. I need to leave soon to meet my friends for a picnic. Harper and Free Range has made us all food to celebrate the anniversary of when we first met a year ago. I'll write about it when I get back.
To any who read this, I have to say that Harper and Free Range are amazing at making treats. I hope the future generations can be as masterful as they are. It's odd doing this, to think that I could be either old or dead by the time some pony reads this. It is, almost impossible to understand. But that's the reality of this, Celestia told me that before handing me this. And I can't turn back now, I am a unicorn of my word.
The picnic was so much fun. We talked, and reminisced, and ate. Not to mention Harper and Mezzo bringing their lyre and pan flute. Mezzo is a lavender purple unicorn with a short, magenta mane, and gold eyes. His cutie mark is a single black music note. Harper is a sand color earth pony with a long fiery red mane and icy pink eyes. Her cutie mark is a golden harp. Their music is so beautiful and lively for anyone to hear. Free Range and Sun Down even enjoyed a small race from the picnic blanket to the closest tree. Free Range is an avocado green earth pony with a gingerbread mane and sky blue eyes. Her cutie mark is three circus tents. Sun Down is a deep yellow pegasus, with a smoky orange long mane with light teal eyes. Her cutie mark is a sun with a pink heart behind it. Glade and I just sat and listened to the music the whole time. A lot of fun times.
We were all born here, in Canterlot, all except Sun Down. She was raised in Los Pegasus. Glade's parents were workers of the Canterlot Gardens, mine organized celebrations in the palace, Mezzo's own a music store selling instruments in town, Harper's parents had jobs as a member of the royal orchestra and one as a street performer. Free Range's parents worked as rodeo clowns but moved back to Canterlot when Free Range was born. What's really strange is that I only knew Glade before I got my cutie mark. We met because our parents worked in the palace. Glade is a sky blue earth pony with a cropped bright yellow mane and red eyes. Her cutie mark is a tree with twisted branches and covered in leaves.
On the day I got my cutie mark, was the day we all got our cutie marks. It was the day that Sun Down moved to Canterlot after losing her parents and moving in with her uncle. It was then she knew how important family was and the sacrifices that must be made for them. I got mine from being accepted into Celestia's school, Glade got hers by planting her garden in her back yard. Mezzo got his by at first trying all sorts of different things before giving music a try, he didn't want to follow in his parents hoof steps, but once he picked up the acoustic guitar, he said that he couldn't think of doing anything else. Harper got her cutie mark after practicing, and practicing every kind of instrument out there, she wanting to be like her mom, but just couldn't do it. Then her mom introduced her to the harp and lyre, it was a match made in Heaven. Free Range learned acrobatics and cooking from her parents, and the love for it grew. But without Sun Down's realization, I doubt we could have gotten our cutie marks that day. I'm rambling again aren't I?
I can't help it. I have to put details into everything. But I'll try to keep it brief from now on. Anyway, my mom came by when I came back from the park explaining that she won't be here for a week because she's taking vacation to Manehattan. So, I have to take care of my two twin younger siblings Light Crystal and Midnight Swirl, a filly and colt. Both unicorns, both just recently got their cutie marks. Light Crystal will work with gems, and Midnight Swirl will dabble into magic like yours truly. That doesn't mean I want to be responsible for them anymore than i already do. Celestia could call us to anywhere at any point in time. I'd have no back up for babysitting because all my friends will be coming with me! Sun Down has a little sister named Sun Rise, and Mezzo doesn't necessarily have a younger brother, but he treats Symphony like a little brother.
So, anyway, yeah I'm taking care of my siblings for a while. They'll be at school most of the time, so I won't have too much to worry about just supper and a snack before bed. Jairus will help too so it shouldn't be too too hard.Sorry if this is a lot to take in, I want to establish everyone I know and talk to the first entry so that I don't have to explain someone new every few pages. It's easier this way. I've been thinking of ways to end the entries, like a way to signify I'm done writing for the day. But I don't know what. I'll think of something tomorrow, I'll just leave it like this for today.
