Diary of Night Star from our town

Saturday 1 August 26 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

There is a war, my father had been right with his fear. The Crystal Kingdom had declared war on the griffins attack.
Our princess Twilight sparkle had decided to support her in this fight. I myself have decided to participate in this fight for our homeland.

Since Bluestar started his training a month ago, he is also there. Also my best friends wrote me a few days ago that they volunteer to sign up on who should come this far. It is unlikely that we will be trained in the same barracks.

But maybe I'll see the two at the front again.

Now all I have to do is tell my parents about my intentions. I know the father will not be thrilled but he will not stop me either. With mother I'm not so sure she hated violence and she never understood why it was sometimes necessary to fight.
But if father supports me then she should wave in too. I will tell you directly tomorrow. If it works, I will volunteer the day after tomorrow.

Today we go to the barracks Las Pegasus. Right on the edge to the changelings. Actually, I expected to be educated directly in barracks here in Ponyvile. However, I was told that all recruits should be trained as far away from home as possible. So there is no distraction. Then it would be possible again to be transported back to his homeland. Who would let the war situation pass?

In other words, I can be deposited anywhere. Bigfire wrote me that he was recalled to his homeland because of his crystal kingdom origins. He has to complete his basic education there. Broken Iron was moved to Canterlot. I can imagine how angry he was when he found out about Our Town.

Even my brother has hit it. Since he is almost finished with his medical studies. Was he drafted with and should finish his studies at the front in a military hospital. Mother was very upset when heard. Bad enough that her youngest son went to war. Now the older one should be near the front and then just before he finished his studies.

Now the whole thing has a positive thing, the military takes over everything. He can gain more experience than would ever be possible at the university.

Wednesday 24 august 26 years after twilight sparkles coronation.

I've been in the barracks for two weeks now and have completed one third of my training.

Which does not mean much, it was limited to mauling and fighting with melee weapons.

I can not wait to use my horn for shooting. But that will probably take place next week.
Feed

The tone here is very strict and as one would expect from the military here no reiterations are tolerated.
Should someone dare to complain to the instructor. Then the entire squad will be punished with another march full of baggage or a dropping meal.

Therefore, we had this already on the second day. About the course of the first acts of war, we learn only about the talk among the soldiers.

Because we are forbidden to go to school until the end of the training and newspapers are really hard to come by.

However, everyone here had heard of the treacherous attack of the changelings and heard of the glorious reconquest by the ponies.

Now as soon as I have finished my education I will show these love eaters why our people have defeated them twice and why their former queen is in stone.

Finally, today I was sworn in on Princess Twilight sparkle and my homeland. In the last 4 weeks the main part of the training consisted of shooting practice, at least for the unicorns.

The shooting seems to lie to me. My instructor has praised me for my high shot rate with high precession. He also said that I can put me in a branch of force that is appropriate to my abilities.

Who I show in the field that I am suitable. With this prospect, I can hardly wait to be transferred to the front on Monday.

Bigfire was transferred to the changeling front two weeks ago, but did not take part in any fighting. Since the arrival was injured immediately and therefore was brought from the front in a military hospital.

He wrote me that the nurse were probably very accommodating wounded soldiers.
What that means with him I can already imagine.

Bluestar training, however, is still ongoing. Since he has moved after his training to the mountain hunters.

After all, he is closer to his homeland and has more freedom as a professional soldier than we recruits. Did I mention that he is a Pegasus?

It's cold, terribly cold. Every day attack back attack and then retreat.

It's like following a daily ritual. When I was sent to the changeling front two weeks ago. I was zealous and wanted to stand in the front row with every attack.

I thought we could bring our enemies a quick dead and a destroyed defeat.

But as I saw that every day half of my comrades died. I quickly came to the realization that this war will probably take a while yet. Out of my train is only Waterfire left. The rest has either fallen or frozen or died from a disease.

Me and my comrades got along well. But I had followed the advice of my commander to make no real friendships.

Now I understood why he said it was important to make a close friendship. One of my comrades made the mistake not to follow this advice. When one of us died he ran into the enemy blind with anger.
Although we had long since received the order to retreat.

I have not heard anything from my friends for a while.

I hope you feel better than most of my comrades.

Sunday, December 13 26 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

Last week, my division was sent to the Dragon Front to support our allies in the fight against the Dragons.

We arrived just in time and prevented an advance of the dragon army

At this point our platoon leader died. Since I was the only one left from our old train and had the most experience. I took over the post. For this use I was rewarded with the Iron Cross Second Class and promoted to the platoon leader.

Bluestar had completed his training with the Mountaineers but he does not know yet where he will be used.

Broken iron has also been moved to the dragon front just north of me.

Bigfire finally overcame his injury and was transferred to the Griffin front.

Where he was involved in the Battle of the Griffin Capital. Although they have lost the city quite fast again but it must have been a satisfaction to be in this city.

Anyway, I'm ready to show that my appointment as a platoon leader was not a mistake.

Maybe in the course of the war, I'll make it to a much higher position.

Friday 25 December 26 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

It's hearth's warming eve. But the fight continues. Different, however, it looks at the changelingsfront. The evening before yesterday evening, the changelings agreed with my comrades a truce. Not only that, I also heard rumors that they gave each other gifts.

However, I can only imagine that very hard. On our front, however, is not to think of something like that. Although it would do some good.

After all, I have been successful with my train in the last two weeks. Waterfire is back from the hospital. It is good to know that there is someone else besides me from the old train. Actually, he should have stayed longer in the hospital. But he was on his own responsibility once he was able to walk again to the front.

He was very surprised when he learned that I was promoted to platoon leader. He then congratulated me and said it fit me to set the tone.

I have not met Broken Iron yet and I have not heard from the others.

I wondered where they put Bluestar. There can not be so much field of application for mountain hunters.
Monday 15 February 27 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

Yesterday I received fieldpost from the homeland and from Bluestar.

My brother is doing well to those around. He has also gained a lot of experience in the military hospital. After 3 months of service, he was finally recognized as a doctor and you are allowed to do the surgery himself.

He seems to have found good in the military and mother wrote to me full of pride that he would now carry a doctorate. It struck me that my mother and father had not heard of my award and promotion.

in the past, at least I would have told Dad immediately about such news. But here at the front I had to fulfill my duties as a platoon leader.
I hardly thought of my home country. I immediately wrote her back and told her what had happened in the last few months.
Of course, I have omitted how many of my comrades have already fallen.
I also did not say anything about the poison gas attacks. I do not want her to worry anymore.

From Bluestar's letter, I learned that he was transferred to the dragon front. So at least three of us are in the same field.

Now we just have to make sure that this opponent is missing.

Friday 30 April 27 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

Today is my 19 birthday and it borders on a miracle I still experience this.
6 weeks ago we launch a gas attack against the dragons but the wind had turned. Luckily we already had all of our gas masks on, so it would be ironic if I had been stifled by our own weapon. But it gave my view completely. I was not able to say who was fine and who was friend.

At this moment, the grenades hit us. Accompanied by barrage the attack of the dragons.

Breathing became more and more difficult as the gas cloud became denser. The filter prevented the end of the gas. However, he also only allowed very little air through. I took off my mask to take a deep breath. I would be stifled.

Who would not have hit a shell next to me and forfeited the cloud with a blast?

However, some stone chips shot at me from the rockfall. One shattered a hind hoof, the other a front hoof.

Unable to move, I crawled into the funnel left by the grenade and hid myself there. Until the blows stopped and death styles prevailed on the battlefield. Which was still broken by the cries of some doomed.

Ultimately, I succumbed to the call for help. A few days later, I woke up in a bed.

Surrounded by wounded, dead and half dead.

Wednesday 12 May 27 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

I'm still in the hospital but slowly but surely I can move my hooves again and they make me less and less pain.
indeed the doctors that they want to keep me here for two weeks before I can go back to the front.

In my absence, my troupe was taken over by Waterfire. A good choice, after all, he has just as much fronting experience as me.

He is also able to lead troops well.
He also had the doubts fortune to have landed in the hospital and proved his will to fight again and again.

When Mother learned of my injury, she was furious and wanted me to come home immediately.

Luckily, Father could calm her down and tell her that the whole thing is not so easy.

Besides, I do not want to go home until we destroy all the enemies.

Finally I have to return the favor for those scars.

Tuesday 25 May 27 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

Tomorrow is the day of my release and actually I should be happy to come back to the front. But today is a black day. Today some wounded were dropped off again. One of them seemed to be standing over me because of his uniform.

After the ball was devalued from his leg. I asked him what happened. Despite her higher position, she was not condescending and was friendly.

She introduced herself as General Rainbow Dash. Yes the Rainbow Dash I could not believe it at first.
She briefly told me what happened in the military. Once again, a gas attack was committed. Commanded from the top. It also seemed to work well at first. Our soldiers, especially my train under the leadership of Waterfire, made headway and were able to record large territorial gains. However, it was a trap when the gas had cleared, the dragons attacked our exposed flanks and took some of the comrades with them.

What exactly happened to my train and whether they survived that, I do not know. Like last time, our gas has been doomed to us. The dragons were only successful because the troops on the flak by the gas could not see how far our troops had penetrated. They stayed behind, sealing the end of their comrades.

I can only hope that our superiors soon come to their senses. They never marched through the gas. It will change only when the day comes when people from our ranks have the command up there.

Thursday, July 1 27 years after Twilight sparkles coronation.

This war takes its toll. Thousands of people die every day on all fronts.
I also had to accept another loss.

Yesterday I got post from home. In it I learned that my brother has been transferred to a field near military hospital has died in a violent attack. These pigs have just bombarded a clear marked hospital.

his outrage calls for retribution. That's why I've asked my superiors to transfer me to the Griffin front to the Luftwaffe.

These were skeptical at first, but I got a final kill from General Rainbow Dash. Who dispelled their concerns. After her surgery I had given her a box of cigarettes. Who found a deceased comrade on dessert. This one did not seem to need them anymore and cigarettes are hard to get at the front.

Actually, I had to exchange them for cider in front of her. However, I first learned about my general what happened to my comrades.

Since she was so kind to report to me from the front and I had never started smoking, I gave it to her. She had lost her at the mention. Because the doctor had forbidden her to smoke due to her broken by poison gas lung. Was she pretty much dressed? She could not hide her relief on the first move.
As a result, a good friendship arose over the next few days.

Now it's time to pack and to the Griffin front. I wonder how long it will take me to train flyers.
