The Diary of Celestia

The Diary of Celestia

        Dear Diary.

        I am writing today’s entry from the camp at the base of the mountain. It’s just about to be time for dinner, it’s a bit of a late dinner but still. I’m writing now as I’m not sure I will be able to later

        Today I walked with Clover the Clever and Smart cookie a good way to the mountain this morning. We started before I had to raise the sun. It was nice speaking with them about the plans for the city. Probably the most relaxing thing I have been able to do in all this time.

        We talked about Smart Cookies adventures across cities and the ponies she met along the way. As well as the many days Clover the Clever spent speaking with the students. I even shared my worries with them. They reassured me that I am doing what is right.

        I am glad that no matter what happens we have at least all learned something from this. even if it is only so much.

        Eventually we met up with the Earth Ponies, it seemed as though they all met in Fillydelphia. It was a little ways further than expected but I guess it was a good enough meeting point.

        It was great to see them and they were ecstatic to be greeted by me but it was quite overwhelming. There had to be a little under eight hundred of them. It is- Very frightening seeing all of these ponies here willing to work to build something they could very well be persecuted for.

        Clover the Clever and Smart Cookie offered to help pull some of the carts and carriages and they were welcome with open hooves to do so. I on the other hoof tried to help and they would not let me. They said I should not “Tire myself.” I just wish to let them know I am no better than them.

Tomorrow when construction begins I plan to help the earth ponies pull the marble and stone up, then help the unicorns set the frame up and help the pegasi start terraforming the side of the mountain to better support the city and the castle.

        As for the next week I will be staying here to help with construction as stated. I told the captain of the guard before I left that I was leaving on important business. I made sure to not use names or places. I just hope Clover the Clever has found a way to keep Princess Platinum from questioning anything.
