September 22, 17029;

I hath been stumbled on much of the vocabulary hither in Equestria until I taketh a look at it this morn. It feeleth as if it were an entirely new language. I learned not just a concept today. I shall try this once by translating.

"I've fumbled on a lot of the vocabulary here in Equestria until I took a look at it this morning. It felt like it was a different language altogether. I learned more than one thing today though. I'll do this in translation."

That was far difficult I shall say. It taketh half of sixty minutes to translate this previous line. 'twill not take that long to interpret soon. On a second hoof, many of the pegasi hither in Equestria callest this "camp" the Pegasus Khurbn. I hast no idea how the Pegasus Khurbn works, howe'er, I will within time. Life Seal and Polly Spot hath not read of what I write. They shall be pleasantly shaken by my efforts.


At the first afternoon, Vile Soil sets down her journal.

"Life Seal! Polly Spot! Come hither!"

Instantly, the two ponies appear.

"May you look at what I hath written."

Life Seal walks up to the journal opening to today.

"'I hath been stumbled'- what... how can you side with such a-"

"Take a view at the translation of that line thou hath started."

"Oh, here it is. 'I've fumbled on a lot of the vocabulary here in Equestria until I took a look at it this morning. It felt like it was a different language altogether. I learned more than one thing today though. I'll do this in translation.' Whoa! Vile! Did you actually write this?!?"

"Indeed, Life Seal."

"Wow! How long did it take you?"

"Thirty minutes."

"Oh, I see. You're getting used to our way of speaking," Polly Spot says.

"Indeed so."

"Well, it's a good thing you're learning that. I don't think anypony would understand you if you didn't, but only at worst."

"Thank you for sharing that with us. If you were actually looking into learning, you could've just come to Life Seal and I. We'd be more than happy to teach you. I actually have been looking to nailing the royal speech. Well, if you need us, we'll be down the hall."

Life Seal and Polly Spot proceed to exit Vile's room leaving her to whatever she needed to do.
