Day 9

early morning

Sweetie Belle will make it as far as Red Script told me. He is pretty confident in his work, and I hope he is right. I would hate to have her die, with our last conversation having been a fight. However, this night didn't only have good news. Most of us survivors can't sleep, since the light coming from you Twilight, is lighting the night like a second sun. You have actually sunken a few millimeters into the ground, that is staring to melt under you. There are no undead left in you vicinity, but about three hundred undead Unicorns. They have fallen back several hoofes, since the radius in which your heat burns stuff, has gotten larger. I even had to call back the Pegasi I had ordered to have an eye on you, since they couldn't bear the heat in the air above you anymore.

The worst thing that is going on here, is that all the Unicorns in the camp, have lost their ability to draw in magical energy. That became appearent earlier, when a few of them wanted to help with the reinforcement effort on the walls. They suddenly weren't able to lift things anymore. According to a Unicorn mare I asked, all the magic that was in the air, is gone. The only explanation I can come up with, is that you are drawing all of it into yourself. But why do the undead Unicorns not attack you? Why are their horns glowing? I don't understand it.

Your magic is really amazing Twilight, but lately it causes us nothing but trouble. An old aquaintance of us has homed in on your magical "signal fire", as she calls it. She has come alone, but I have posted more guards, just in case. I don't trust Chrysalis one bit! She claims to be here to help. I would like to believe her, since, even so we have had our differences in the past, we are the last living things afterall. We, the living, should unite against the dead. From what she told me, her Changelings are not immune to the curse either, but there have been much less victims, since they die after being infected and don't rise again. That way Chrysalis was able to control the infection in and around her Hive. I will now go to have another talk with her....

I... can't believe what Chrysalis gave me.... She had a chest with her, which she opend during our talk earlier... Inside, she had all six elements of harmony, and gave them to me. The chest also held something, I think you might want to have.... It's princess Celestias crown. She claims to have found her corpse, when she retrieved the elements from Canterlot castle.... Since sun and Moon are still rising and setting I was kinda hoping..... It could be that she is lying, but how would she have her crown then? When I asked about princess Luna, she couldn't tell me anything. Chrysalis said that she found Celestias body close to the city limits, but didn't look for her sister, since her main objective was the retrieval of the elements. I don't say that I believe her, but if she is honest with me, then there is a chance that Luna is still alive. But where would the princess be? Wouldn't she come and look for other survivors? I don't know what to believe anymore. But.......  There is shouting outside....

Day 9

late night

Now I am confused beyond words. When I hovered outside earlier, to investigate what all the shouting was about, I witnessed a fight between two verry strong magical beings. Our camp.... our walls.... have been almost completly destroyed in their wake. The two beings I mean, are princess Luna, and Chrysalis.... Appereantly Luna also homed in on your magical presence, and as soon as she saw Chrysalis the fight began. Damn, those two really went at it there. We have several casualties from stray spells that both of them threw at each other. To be completly honest with you Twi, I didn't recognize princess Luna at first. She isn't as beautifull as she used to be. Her coat is dirty with blood and dirt, while her face is a distorted grimmace of anger and mistrust. Her crown is still resting on her head, but it's bent and deformed, as if this wasn't the first fight the princess had over the last three years. I don't know which of them won, and right now I don't really care. I have more pressing matters to attend to. Chrysalis fled when the tides of battle turned against her, and Luna persued her like a mad pony. I have to organize workgroups to rebuild, what they destroyed, and that will be hard since the Unicorns still can't help with their magic. Twilight, I hope you snap out if it soon.
