Everyone makes mistakes. But even so, one still has to pay for them.
Daily Report - Lieutenant Natalya
During our inspection trip to Griffon's Gate, Lord Arc stumbled upon an injured youngling. Unable to find medical help for them domestically, he brought them back to his homeland of Equestria. Let this report show that Lord Arc did so out of medical necessity. In no way did he kidnap, coerce, or take an unwilling citizen of the Griffon Kingdom away forcefully.
Dear Journal,
I took Eidolon’s Ward to the Hammer’s shot today, as I said I would. While I had gone there just as a friendly meeting, they… well, let’s just say they warned me about a great many threats looming over this land! From afar, things look pretty peaceful. But apparently that’s just a fragile façade! In any case, they’re going to make a few modifications to my armor. Military level stuff! Kinda exciting!
Dear Journal,
I've settled into my new home with a rather strange pony in a large, black cloak. At least I'm assuming it's a pony! She... and again I'm assuming it's female, is so introverted I'm unable to determine anything else about her physiology at this time!
Early this morning I even saw her eating grass in the moonlight! Something is VERY wrong here, and I'm going to figure out what it is!
Respect other's secrets.
Dear Journal,
Today has been rather interesting. Although everything turned out as I expected, it was still enjoyable to watch it all play out. Arc and Ember had foolhardily entered a burning building together to save a couple victims. While brave, Arc failed to come up with a backup escape plan beforehand. Not wanting either of them to come to harm, I decided to step in.
Dear Journal,
We took Dinky back to my quarters and put her to bed. She... she just looks so... I don't know... innocent lying there! Even though her body has aged several years, I can only hope whatever Kronos did also advanced her mind, as I would think she would be embarrassed to have her mother and I changing her diapers!
Dear Necronomicon,
Auriel is... gone. Taken to Equestria again by my second most hated enemy! While this should fill me with rage, it does not! I had no choice! My daughter could not remain here, as the others would have surely torn her apart! I have no idea if the human... if Arc will treat her better, but... the unknown is certainly preferable to certain doom!
I think I said it recently, but every December since 2009 had wrecked me. I cratered into depression. December 2015 it came to a head, and it's the closest I came to suicide. I got into the MLP and Furry fandoms, and you all (along with my best buds) got me through into 2016. I then started going to therapy. I can't thank you all enough.
Dear Journal,
Derpy told me she left "home", if you can call it that, and made her way to Ponyville. She set up housekeeping in the little house she's in now and... I don't know. She didn't really have a next step planned out though. But I can't really blame her for that! Derpy was lost, confused, abandoned, betrayed and pregnant on top of that! All things considered, she did okay!
Dear Journal,
I've left the hospital and am currently living with the purple unicorn I mentioned in my earlier entry. Twilight seems nice... I suppose. Although every time her horn glows, I duck! Her dragon friend Spike seems much more level headed than she, generally choosing to think before acting! Perhaps I am merely judging Twilight too harshly, as she is letting me stay with her, rent free!
Dear Journal,
I returned to the Hammer’s blacksmith shop to retrieve my armor. From the looks on their faces, I think they worked all night on it! In any case, it really didn’t look any different. But when they explained to me what was on the inside, it blew my mind! Hand cannons, cybernetics, thermal regulators and even an enchantment on the left hand to place sigils! There won’t be anything I can’t do with this now!
