Finding Cora

Journal:

Today I saw a pegasus for the first time. I know it was one because of the wings. Unicorns can make things fly with their magic, but no other pony but a pegasus has natural flight. I wish I could fly like that. The picture on the flank of this pegasus intrigued me. Why do the other ponies wear such markings? Perhaps it is a symbol of rank, or race. I could never have one, but I don't know what it would mean to me if I did.

Journal:

I think I've been rejected by my tribe. My sister, Lea, refused to come with me on my travels.

I will miss all of them, Lea especially. I will go alone. But I will continue on.

I will heal the rift and find the unicorns.

Journal:

I left my village for good today. I've only been gone an hour, but I still feel heartbroken.

I don't see why I am so lonely. I made my decision. I will never return, never. Because I've been rejected. Lea, I will miss you forever.

Cora

Dear Lea:

I miss you already. You have a knack for breaking hearts, you know that? Of course you wouldn't. If no one ever told you, that is. You broke Mother's heart when you were born. She knew she was sick before you were born. Her heart broke because she would never see you grow up. You broke Daddy's heart too. He never spoke to you after Mother died. He blamed you, saying the birth weakened her and made her vulnerable to more sickness. And now you've broken mine. If this letter reaches you, someday, I want you to apologize for breaking so many apart.

I will miss you always.

Cora
