Odd pieces of writing that have been subject to some scholarly interests.

Collected here are some memos that have been of interest to the Canterlot Magic Society, Starswirl Foundation. While there has been no pattern to where and how these notes can be found, submission of any confirmed authentic will be greatly rewarded.

An experiment.

Chapter 1

Today something amazing happened!

It really caught me by surprise, and it made me really happy! I had a celebration with my family and made them happy too! I wanted them to feel as much as I did!

Then I thought about it yesterday, and then I realised just how LUCKY I was! If I had went into my house from the field just a FEW moments earlier, it would never have happened! Nothing would have changed! So I thought, what if I HAD gone home early? I'd be so very grey and sad like the rocks! My family were born from and gave birth to rock, you see?

Then I thought, something so important must have been a MUST! There was no way there could be an other! I think I'll use my new talent to think about it some more, I thought.

See, rocks get their nasty reputation because they don't really change! We are children and sisters and parents of rock here, because it's all I really knew before this happened. Then change happened, and I changed. Could there be change if there was no choice, though?

For a change I decided I'd have FUN herding the rocks. I found a few that we decided not to move to the next field for the season. I arranged them into sides of a board I drew in the brown ground of soil and gave them their roles! Then I watched them play out their game, though I got kind of mad that they couldn't move without me deciding how. I was like I had to be a Princess or Queen or something of rocks! I prodded a smoothish rough rock a little, seeing if I could make him happy that I was paying more attention to him. He didn't notice, though.

Then for another change, I decided I WOULDN'T have fun. Maybe I shouldn't let my own Princess tell me what to do! I'd been having fun with the rocks when I never did it before? I had broken a Must, but did I just fall into another one? So I stopped, got mad at the rocks and began yelling at them to get a move on. Then I got madder that the rocks wouldn't listen to me, and I had to use my hooves to move them to their spaces. Then I figured I'd have fun again, but then not, well, for the whole night!

About a few seconds later the sun was rising. A few seconds ago it was midnight! I spent a few hours teaching my rocks how to play checkers with themselves in a few seconds. I thought it was something  fun, I couldn't wait to plan out a party like this! No one understood me though! Sis just told me that I was being wacky. After a few weeks, I gave up. I figured I'd think about this when I was done celebrating my Cutie Mark.

Anyway, I decided to leave home about an hour later, when I had grown up from a filly into a young mare. Well, it wasn't really my decision, I figured my family would need me even though something told me I'd have a wonderful time if I left home! But then someone told me I should start travelling. I don't know who she is or how she told me, but she feels familiar! Maybe if I decided to just follow it I'd have some answers or something. I did spend my centuries growing up kind of confused over it!
