Dear Diary,

Arc’s been acting really weird today. Being nice to King Malevolence, hearing things that aren’t there, seeing who knows what, and acting all edgy! I think the stress of… I don’t know… EVERYTHING, is finally getting to him.

Earlier today I was sleeping with him. It felt great as usual and all, but… his body language was really… off! He was really… tense and his sleep was fitful at best!

Research Journal Entry,

I’ve just been made away that the Hero of Light has successfully been able to retain a pony’s soul after death! This is the scientific find of the century! Imagine ponies not having to be afraid of death! Being able to live on after their bodies have worn out! I could work and study without having to worry about silly things! Like eating and fatigue!

Dear Journal,

I boarded the Lunar Destiny along with Trixie to see Arc early this morning. He awoke with quite a start! Something about cherries were his first words. Ember and Arc explained what had happened up there over the past couple days. I… I can’t believe it! My own actions led to him losing something… very precious to him. He said it wasn’t my fault and all, but… if I had just taken the time to listen, this never would of happened!

Dear Diary,

Shining Armor and I have returned to Canterlot Castle with a rather strange looking sergeant. I’m not sure what exactly is going on, but… Shining Armor looks very worried. Something about the Order of Succession or whatever.

If it were anypony else, I’m sure I could convince Shining Armor that we were needed elsewhere. However… Arc did so much for both of us! And if he says he needs our help, we’ll go!

Just because you believe something to be true does not automatically make it so.

Dear Diary,

I have completed the research portion of my experiment on "vacations", and I have to admit, I've never enjoyed studying something so much before! Some of my findings make no sense to me though! Like the stallion whom asked me to call them. Call them what?! The papers they gave me have been added to my research, just in case I can crack their code!

Dear Diary,

Arc, along with his daughter, Ember and I have arrived at a red orb factory called Cherry Hill Ranch. My new surroundings, while alien to me, are a comfort. How this is possible I don't know. However, I'm certain to learn much on this... vacation, as Arc calls it.

Captain’s Log…

This new ship truly is a marvel of mechanical ingenuity! Princess Celestia certainly spared no expense in it’s creation! I am sad to have to take her out on her maiden voyage without my old friend standing with me at the helm. However, I understand the Lord Regent’s mission is urgent! With any luck, we can avert this conflict before it gets out of hoof!

Dear Diary,

My realm. Normally it is a place of peace, solitude and respite. However, now it is my prison. I am unsure how exactly I came to be in this unfortunate position. But I can only assume somepony has conspired to keep me her intentionally! Why? For what purpose could somepony want Cadance and I imprisoned!

Dear Journal,

The ride back to the hideout was a blur! But somehow I made it back in time! Mythic Honor used the tendril the Marquis gave me to make some kind of medicine. Ember drank it and in a few minutes time, woke up! I remember her getting up… but not much more. Considering the day I had, I probably just passed out from fatigue or something.

Dear Journal,

LORD ARC NEEDS TO DIE!!!

That meddlesome troublemaker just cost my business partners MILLIONS in lost defense contracts! Today he has gone too far! I swear that I will see him BURN for this! My partners and I are in complete agreement on this matter! We MUST find a way to end this upstart! This so-called Hero of Light! Our pocketbooks depend on it!

Dear Diary,

Well… this is it! Everypony is lining up in battle formation and waiting for instructions. Amethyst Star will handle organizing the defense! I know she can do it! The plan is for Rarity to channel the power of the crystal, drop the barrier, hold the line while I run into Tartarus alone cloaked, find Arc and get him out of there before the demons have time to react! With any luck, this will be a seamless operation!

Royal Journal Entry,

Lord Arc came to visit Fiona and I today. His presence always seems to fill our hearts with hope! Not sure if that's due to all he's done for us, or if it's just part of who he is.

Footpad Natalya,

I... don't know what to think about Lord Arc right now! He was helping me train with his Honor Guards. Next thing I know, he's threatening to march on our kingdom! I mean... I understand now that he was just trying to motivate me. But, it was quite the scare he gave me! Threatening to kill my family and all!

Dear Diary,

Dinky and I came home today to find Arc hard at work doing research! Now I know he’s smart and a hard worker, but from the amount of papers and notes on the table, he’s surprised even me! This research is very important, as it may just lead to rescuing Princess Celestia! I’m sure he was tired and irritable from a long day of failed attempts. But… Arc still made time to help make supper AND help Dinky with her homework!
