The Diary of Celestia

The Diary of Celestia

        Dear Diary,

        We all have gotten breakfast and we are on our way back up the mountain. I told Clover the Clever we are continuing construction and that we will also double this as a mining operation. Somewhat.

        What ever made the cave can see me if it wants to stop this.

        Today I am going to help start setting in the stone in the mountain for the base. I The pegasi are building an elevator quickly so the earth ponies can get up and down easier. As for the stone itself the unicorns are helping lower it to the ground for us to place.

        As much hard work as this is I do not mind working down here. The red and green crystals are beautiful to look at.

        The Earth ponies are too flattering. They always try and keep me from working too hard,not wanting my “Beautiful mane and coat” to get dirty. I keep trying to remind them that I am trying to work with them as equals but they seem to still think too highly of me.

        Infact I am only writing this right now because I am on my way to help the pegasi. Maybe they will be more open to me helping.

        Private Pansy and her workers were much more welcoming of the extra hoof. The questioned why I was not using my magic though. I told them that if I am helping the pegasi I am helping them as a pegasus.

        One of Private Pansy’s colts tried to hold a conversation with me. It was cute how after only one reply to his ice breaker I felt like I was talking with Private Pansy instead of a soldier.

        I decided to move from the pegasi work force to the unicorn task force. I wanted to do something a little more mindless.

        P.S. I swear I saw something move in one of the green crystals. Probably just someponys reflection. It still scared me though.

        Another long day of work. Tomorrow we begin to mine so we have something to show for our work.

        So far it is going well. We are really seeing progress.The elevator is almost finished (it took about two hours to get everypony back up), and the I can really see the foundation of the cave come together.

        I am really beginning to like these walk down the mountain. Also dinner was amazing again. I love these cooks.

        Smart Cookie came up to me as I was going to my tent. She told me that she felt I made a good decision continuing the build. Clover the Clever must have spoken with her.

        I am glad somepony finally backed me up on this. Clover the Clever did not bother to give an opinion.

        I can not believe it has been only two days into this. I am already exhausted. I wonder how everypony else is doing. Probably faring better than I am. Perhaps after this I will put together an exercise program for myself to keep in shape.
