Day 8

What the hay is going on?This morning, I woke up, because our hut was on fire. At first I thought it was the Pegasi who had come back, but it was you, Twilight! I saw that you were up shortly last night, but it must have been when I was already asleep. We had to bring you away from anything that could be incinerated, by having several Unicorns levitate you. I was one of them, and I can tell you that it wasn't easy. Your body seems to try and repell any kind of external magical influence. I never had that much problems lifting something with my magic, even so I am not verry good at it.

The reason we had to do this, is that you are basicly on fire! I don't mean your fever, but your mane and tail are actually replaced by flames. Your coat is white hot, and I even the ground we put you on is blackend several hoofs around you. It doesn't seem to hurt you though. Red Script checked you out earlier, as best as he could, given that he can't really approach you. He says your heart is beating unusually fast, your magic is exceeding anything he ever felt and you breath is quite slow in comparison.  According to him, your body is in it's final stages of fighting what ever is making you sick. Or... that is his theory atleast, since he doesn't know for sure. He admitted that you are the first Alicorn he ever treated.

Another thing he said, was that it could be that you loose the battle. In that case he claims, we should run away as fast as we can. But what is even more dangerous are the undead at the moment. Your magical fire is drawing hordes of them to us. There are about twelve thousand of us left, and only a few hundred are Pegasi. An exodus to Cloudsdale is out of the question due to that. The walls are strong as they are, but some of the Stallions are currently breaking down some of the buildings, to further reinforce them.

As it looks, the first wave of them will be here in a few ours. Rainbow herself confirmed that, when she went scouting earlier. She had the suspision that your massice magical use, may draw them here. Due to her pregnancy she isn't as fast as before, but still faster then most of the other Pegasi.

Some of them have suggested we just throw you over the walls and let the undead deal with you, but the five remaining guards and Rainbow Dash quickly silenced them. No, they didn't hurt anypony, but I am not too sure they wouldn't too keep you safe. Please don't get me wrong when you read this, Twilight, but I think we should do it. Not to get rid of you, but to  let your magical fire deal with them! I tried earlier and threw a piece of wood into your direction. It was turned to ash, many hoofs before it reached you. So, if we were to bring you outside, you would burn them, long before they could harm you. I tried to discuss it with Rainbow, but.... she hit me, and told me to be ashamed of myself....

Day 8

afternoon

We are under siege. Hundreds of these things are running against our walls, and we are fighting back as good as we can. However, we can't do much. We are still struggeling with the aftermath from the battle with Stormtalons guards. I am no exception. I can't fight right now, due to my injuries. ALso we don't have many weapons. The Unicorns among us, that still have their horns, throw stones and small rocks into the undead masses, but it won't hold them back much longer. The really dead are quickly pyling up, and will soon have formed a ramp which they can climb to simply walk over our walls. I hope that we can repell them before that happens. Sweetie keeps telling the Unicorns to not use spells but do something else with their magic, but they don't listen. I don't understand a word of it, but she demonstrated what she ment, and it was pretty impressive. She practicly rained down thousands of small violet bolts down upon them, cutting a line in their ranks. But I heard the other Unicorns talk, that it would be dangerous to do something like this. I don't know. I might have to order them to use what Sweetie was trying to get them to do. Why do I write "try" you might think..... The reason is that Sweetie got hurt while being on the wall. There are several undead Unicorns in their ranks, and that has already taken some lives. The wall itself does not seem to interest them at all. They only shoot their twisted magic on living targets it seems. Sweetie got hit by one of them and is currently being treated elesewhere. I won't lie to you Twilight, it's serious. An inch to the left, and that thing would have taken her head off. As it is, she has a large wound on her neck, which was bleeding badly when I last saw her. She actually landed on me, when I was on my way to your hut to write this. I can't help myself but think that it might really be a good idea if we used you as a weapon... Twi... you are one of my best friends, and believe me that I would extract you immideatly if there was any sighn of danger, but..... I don't want to die..... I will think it over, and if I decide on it... I will give the order to levitate you outside, and keep an eye on you. If it get's dangerous for you, I would immideatly give the order to get you back, or fly out and get you out.... I want you to know that Twilight....

Day 8

I.... can't believe it... Somepony got triggerhappy, and threw you out when I got my bandages changed. I had decided against it, and now I have to deal with grade three burns on my hooves aswell. I tried to get you inside, but I couldn't even get close to you. My right foreleg and my left hindleg are burnt, and now I am officially bedridden. The place they levitated you over the wall has actually melted! The stones have turned into lava, and burried several of them beneath it. However... They were not the only ones. Two Unicorns that stood watch with that stallion, and himself, were turned to ash aswell. He didn't levitate you in a safe distance, and threw you several meters into their ranks before he died. Atleast, you don't seem to be in any danger right now. The attacks on our walls have stopped. They are now all massing in on your position. Those who are approaching you, are burnt about twenty hooves before they reach you. The Unicorns in the group don't cross that line. In fact, they don't even attack you with their own magic. They just stand there, their horns aglow. What are they doing?

I have several Pegasi holding position above you. Their orders are to extract you, as soon as they deem it possible to touch you without getting themself burned.
