Journal Book: One, Part 1
Journal Entry One, January the 9th
My Name is ShadowSky, And I am Twelve Years old. I have One sibling, My Sister Emerald Star. She is 4 Years Older then me.Recently I decided That I should get a Journal, Mainly Because Luna Showed me Her and Her sisters, I tried to ask Emerald Star to Make this Journal With me, But she Refused.
I actually Have No clue of What I should Write in this,.. But I Probably Will just Write whatever comes to mind.
I am a White Blue Pegasus With a Dark blue Mane: No CutieMark.
Journal Entry Two, February the 7th
Today I was walking around the city when two younger Fillies through an egg at me, I ran over there and told them off but then they went to their parents, And they told "me" Off. I think that is extremely unfair considering it was oblivious they threw something at me, And I had egg insides in my mane and All over my coat.
Ponies are unfair.
But earlier I was talking to Luna and she gave me a fantastic Necklace, It is a Large Crystal With a thin brown cord tying it around my neck, To bad it got covered with egg insides too, I am scared to wash it.
Journal Entry Three, February the 8th
I feel really bad today,.. I was again strolling around the City as I did yesterday, But today the same fillies were there and they were bullying another Filly, Probably around the same age as me,.. But I did Not do anything, I just began to walk a different way. A few minutes later the same filly walked out crying, she had a Many bruises and cuts on her, I felt so bad.
I wish I had helped.
Journal Entry Four, February the 10th
Luna Was acting very paranoid today, She kept on looking at the doors while we were in the Palace Library, I'm a little worried why she is acting this way. I asked her what was wrong, but she Looked down sadly and Didn't say anything, Its making me feel uneasy.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with Celestia, Who has been acting cruel to her Younger sister recently. Or maybe she is just sad since no one appreciates her night other then I and and a few others. But I suppose it could also be both.
Poor Luna, Really doesn't have that much joy in her life at the moment, I wish I was able to comfort her more,...
Journal Entry Five, February The 12th
I'm hiding right now,... Something wen't wrong, Something happened to Luna,... She got upset at Celestia and Told her She deserved to be the Loved princess, That there can only be one Princess of Equestria, And that Princess shall be her! Then I ran and hid in a secret passage,.. I'm really scared, I don't know where they flew of to but I can hear some Explosions. I'm pretty sure the only reason I made it out of there was because no pony noticed me in the doorway,.. I really am Worried, Even about Celestia. I can't stand the fact that they are fighting, Since their both Alicorns they could accidentally hurt ponies,.. Or Themselves.
I hear Celestia coming down the hall,.. She is Probably trying to find me.
Journal Entry Six, Date Unknown
Celestia Did find me that day, she got me to come with her,.. I followed her and she brought me to an hidden room, Unknown to any Royal Guard. She got me to stop outside the door, and told me she had to banish her own sister,.. I started Crying and she reached her hoof to my chin,.. I looked up and she was smiling, I was puzzled of why she wasn't crying like me, Luna was her sister after all.
She Then Led me into the room,.. Where I saw my older Sister Emerald Lying on the ground,.. She was not breathing. I ran Over to her and began crying whilst checking if she was okay,.. She wasn't. I asked Celestia what happened while still crying immensely, She Told me that if I ever wanted to be an Alicorn, That I would have to make sacrifices.
I started screaming and tasking her why, Saying That I never even wanted to be an Alicorn, Then I saw the ground was getting further away from my face as I grew more Hateful, Angry and Resentful towards Celestia,.. Soon Everything went a complete blur and I don't remember anything else, Accept for my Amulet Falling on then ground. I still remember how much it radiated such beautiful Green and Blue Light as it fell, It reminded me of my Elder sister's Blue and Green mane, And her horn, and how beautiful her Coats blue was,..
It has been Nine Hundred and Ninety six years since Luna has been banished to the Moon, As it says on a fairly new looking sign,.. I have apparently Been in a Crystal Shard for that long too,.. I just woke up stuck in it and I'm Very Scared,.. I managed to brake myself out and I read a few signs that are scattered around the room,.. The one Closest to the shard reads,
Be Cautious the Nightmare Could brake out at any Moment.
This Sign Explains why it was so roomy in the Crystal, I must have turned back into Normal Plain Shadow Sky.
There are more that Just Explain that A pony turned into a Nightmare Right after Luna Was banished,.. Then Celestia Sealed her into a Crystal Shard.
I have also Just noticed that there is an amulet on top of the shard,.. I believe it is the one Luna Gave to me. I am Quite surprised that, One; The Shard is still standing and two that I didn't notice it before. It still has the Radiance it did When I saw it Drop Years ago,.. It Really Doesn't feel like that many years.
I flew up took the Amulet with me and I just now only noticed that its Light is constantly swirling around, it is tremendous to look at and I want to know how its doing it.
I am Going to rest in this Palace for the night as it appears the night has began, I wonder if Luna is back,..
Journal Entry Seven, Date Unknown
I have began to wonder around the ruins of the castle I still know so well,.. I really can't believe that I'm technically One Thousand and Eight years Old. I still appear and feel as though I am Still Twelve Years old, I feel very Confused.
I'm Really Glad I had my Saddle Bag with me when I was sealed away, for I still have my journal and Other Things with me.
I thought of my Elder Sister Emerald Earlier and Began to Cry. I wish she was still with me, I miss her more then words can express, I Feel as if I'm to blame,.. I need her back.
I am Going to start Marking my Journal Dates of how many Days I have been out of the Crystal, For I have no Clue of what Date it Actually is.
I Will Not Write anymore For I am Trying to find a non Sealed way out of The Palace,.. There is a lot of Rubble.
Journal Book: One, Part 2
Journal Entry Eight, Day Five
It has been about three days since I have written anything in this Journal. I have found a way out of those horrid Palace Ruins. I Have only just made my way out as a matter of fact, and am about to make my way over a rickety looking old bridge. So I will write down more after I have concurred the Bridge!
I am now over the bridge and I am shaking with Terra, For I decided to try and fly across instead, but, Since I am not to skilled at flying I fell and nearly tumbled off of the whole bridge. I shall sit for a while as I wait for Myself to stop shaking so much that I am not able to Walk at all.
I have walked into a Dangerous forest, The Everfree Forest. I have never been in here but I have heard many stories, and I have been told many times not to wonder in here,.. I don't understand why, It doesn't appear to be dangerous.
A few Minutes ago I heard something behind me,.. I'm not sure as of yet what it is, But I shall now be a little more cautious.
I have just ran for a good long while for I was chased by timber wolves. I have only seen them in books so it terrified me so. I feel a lot more at ease now though, For I found my way out of the forest, and now have found a Village too, By the Name of, Ponyville. I Shall look around in the village now and see how things have advanced, I will explore everything I can.
I have wondered around for hours today and I have made a new friend, Her name Is Swirl, and she keeps telling me I speak fairly strangely, Frankly I think the way she speaks is strange. She keeps on saying Like at the start of all of her sentences, Its throwing me for a loop. But she has told me that she has only just arrived to Ponyville, and shall leave soon to go back home to a city Named Cloudsdale. She has also told me she came here mainly because she has been bullied a large amount for being a dull looking pony, I personally think it is preposterous, She is white and black and grey but I don't see why anyone should care, She is still beautiful.
I have found a place to sleep for the night, It is a field, a few yards away from Ponyville. It is not really a nice place to sleep, But it is a lot better then sleeping in a spider infested Ruin.
Journal Entry Nine, Day Seven
I have Been "Hangin" With Swirl ( As She says) A lot these past two Days, and she has shown me her favorite things to do, and We have had a large amount of fun together.
She told me that she can't fly yet, and I told her of how I can't fly very well at the moment, and then I began telling her of how I tried to fly but then fell and possibly nearly fell to my death, and she looked startled, then I began to laugh and she slowly joined me. I tried to tell her how I was trapped for hundreds of years but she didn't believe me and she just laughed, it annoyed me so.
I also told her that I didn't have any home or anywhere to sleep besides under the stars, and she convinced her parents to let me stay with them. I thought it was extremely kind of her and her parents and I hugged her. And right now she is hovering over me to see what I'm writing, so I shall stop for today,.. Your insane Swirl.
Journal Entry Ten, Day Eight
Today Celestia visited Ponyville, Which is very unfortunate for me, for she is heading over to her old Palace, and I just know she is going over there to check if I'm still sealed away, which of course I'm not. So, when she finds out, she will probably get a handful of her guards to search for me. I'm afraid of her finding me, and I'm afraid of what she'll do. Will she imprison me? Will She go so far as to Execute me? Will she send me away? Or Will she do nothing?
I have no Clue,..
Swirl has been staring at my Amulet all day, It has been distracting. I am sure she will ask me to hand it to her soon, She is still staring at it right now.
I knew she would, She asked just a few minutes ago and now she has stolen it! I no clue where she is, I believe she is hiding.
Journal Entry Eleven, Day Nine
Celestia has announced that there is a Nightmare loose and it may be roaming Ponyville. Then after five minutes of her ordering Everypony to stay indoors, She glanced at me,And as she did I saw her eyes grow wide and her pupils constrict, She definitely knew it was me, but I then ran before she walked over to me. I am now in the Ponyville Hotel with Swirl and her Family. Me and Swirl have gone into our room, we can hear Swirl's parents ranting about having to stay indoors, they are definitely Outside ponies, and so am I, I really hope this doesn't last for to long.
Journal Entry Twelve, Day Ten , The 12th of March
This morning I awoke from a horrid dream,It was as if I was reliving the events of seeing Swirl on the cold floor, Lifeless. I also saw the amulet falling again , but then , it looked as if the image of swirl on the ground was flashing as I was seeing the amulet fall, then my dream ended. I feel as if it is trying to tell me something, and what I hope its telling me is that the amulet can bring Emerald Star back. I would be so happy.
At this very moment there are two of Celestia's Guards at the door, asking if they have seen a Filly of my Description. I am in the lounge area listening to their every word as I write. Swirl's Parents are asking why they won't to know, But, As I thought, they Did not give an answer.
I am writing this down as fast as I can, they just told them that I'm in this building with them, I can hear them coming, so, I just hid In a closet. I know they will find me, but I will hide as long as I can. I can hear Swirl screaming and asking why they won't me. She just stopped,.. I think they pushed her over, for I heard a thud and a sound of somepony getting winded.
They opened the door!

Journal Entry Thirteen, Day Fifteen , The 17th of March
I am in Celestia's Custody and she only just gave me my journal back, I believe she read through all of it cause she knows about my dream and other things.
She won't let me leave, and she is arranging where I will go. I think she is deciding between Cloudsdale and a Place called Rainbow Falls. I have to say, I really do hope she decides Cloudsdale, for again, Swirl Lives there.
But I feel as though she won't send me there.
She has me locked in a room, it is comfy and beautiful, but I would rather be outside, maybe learning how to fly more, with Emerald by my side,..
Speaking of Emerald, as I thought, the Amulet does have something to do with Emerald, but Celestia, nor any other pony will how. I wish Celestia would give me back more then just my book and quill, because I would be a whole lot comfier if I had my amulet.
Journal Entry Fourteen, Day Sixteen, The 18th of March
Celestia told me That she has not Decided yet, but she is fairly sure that I will stay here in Canterlot, as this city is referred to, for at least a month.
I got very upset for I do not won't stay here for even a minute longer. I won't all my stuff back, I won't to hang out with Swirl and I won't to know What this Amulet has to do With Emerald!
I need to get out of this place now! For Six days Now I have be crammed in this awful room with nothing but my Journal to occupy me! I am working on finding a way out, but the only place I see as a way out is the bedroom doors, which are locked, and a tiny window I highly doubt I could fit into.
I believe Celestia Locked the window with magic anyway so even if I could fit through, It wouldn't open anyway. I am starting to think that I may have to pick the door lock, I hope it's not locked with magic too. I will try Later Tonight.
