Starlight is a crybaby

"Year 1038

Dear diary, since Twilight left me as the new ruller a lot has changed... war... death... famine... bloodshed... treachery... and finally it came to fruition. After Twilight and her friends in one swift operation defeated Cozy Glow, Tirek and Queen Chrysalis - the power of Changling's was severely diminished because of the lack of organisation. And as one of the most ruthless side of the world war was severely weakened - the overall tension was soothed. Me and the emperor of Greater Griffonian Empire are preparing a peace treaty for other sides to partake in. If everything goes according to plan - all sides should come without much humiliation, second great war will stop, and we can start slowly fixing our relationships.

…

Year 1040

The peace treaty worked better than expected! Zebra's side were surprisingly willing to reduce the damage their economy, by getting from the war, and the Deer's were easily persuaded once the Changlings were convinced. Convincing them, albeit, wasn't easy...but we made it! I hope it marks a good begining for our future relationship's : )

…

Year 1043

Dear Diary, the protests from diffirent sides are still not silencing. Despite our best attempts to soothe the sharp edges - all sides are still bitter and full of hatred for one another, because of who they lost. We are discussing how to make the situation easier. Wasp, the current substitute for the grand Queen of Changlings, proposes to use a bit of force to subjugate the protests. To shift the anger of the protesting pony's and other races from one problem to another, so when the problem is resolved - they have already vented their anger and are more accepting because of one of the problems solved. We refused to do it, but...with every day this option looks more appealing to me...am I a bad student for thinking this? Sometimes I wish to go and ask help from Twilight... but I am not a filly anymore! I can prove to her than I can solve this friendship problem by myself!

…

Year 1045

We have... tried Wasp's strategy. Nothing much...a couple power shortages and some problems with water around the places where most of the protests are held... it won't be detrimental... but I still feel myself awful, even if the news about the protesters are more about those situations now... maybe it will resolve itself.

…

Year 1049

The protests didn't stop...but they started deescalating. The protests are less violent and everyone seems to begrudgingly accept the new peace treaty. It took a long time...but it is good that it happens! Thou the new ceasar of Zebra Imperium proposed a new idea, after the success of the Wasp's idea. He proposed to implement the idea of having teachers talk to kids about how their neighbours are not that bad despite the war that happened, and give teacher's bonuses for it. Despite it feeling a little bit disingenuous and feeling like it was buying their opinion - the option actually wasn't bad, and we agreed to do it. The new law will start working shortly after we finish all the trivial paper work. Changlings do not have the education system to do the same, but the changlings listed to the Substitute Queen, so Wasp promised to try and add more favourable things towards other races during his speeches to the Changlings.

…

Year 1052

It is awful. The idea stirred awful displeasure amongst most protesters who started calming down, now they say that we are trying to brainwash them! Why would they think that, I am just trying to make everyone friends : ( . On out yearly summit of the United Kingdom's we discussed that allowing the protesters to dissipate themselves with time would be a good idea. Next generation should be much more accepting after our implementation, and the others will get tired of being angry all the time. We just need to continue working on making the lives better and not worry. I hope I can not worry…

…

Year 1057

It doesn't calm down. Moreover - news say that protests grow! Despite our attempt at educating the young filly's - their parents are so angry they are teaching them their own idea about this. Some even say that there might be an assasination attempt being planned for me! I do not know if this is true...but the idea is scary. Why? Just why? I am just trying to help them! ...unfortunately I can not do anything. I will try and make some public statments and attend some festivals, but I doubt it will do much…

…

Year 1060

It is useless. No matter what I do and what I say - the anger amongstcreaturesonly grows. If I say one thing - they twist it. If I say the other - they twist it as well, or say that I have double standards, or work for the other kingdom's! No matter what I say or who I help - people manage to even take me helping a filly get her cat off of a tree into a newsflash about me in a dirty light! The words assasination attempts are multiplying by the day, I am still scared for my life, even if I am an Alicorn now...at least Trixie is still there to support me. Having her hug me to sleep is still the only thing that keeps my nightmares away...thank you, Trixie.I really can't say how much I appreciate you...I love you, Trixie.And if I ever can't tell you this - this book can.

…

Year 1072
How did this happen?! I... I couldn't have... I didn't... this wasn't me! No! Trixie... She brought me a dinner after I couldn't sleep yesterday... I was so grateful... I really don't deserve her... I ate most of it, and i felt this awful stomach pain... I felt like i was poisoned. The stinging, burning pain in my head, stomach, weakness in my hooves.... I thought I was poisoned... poisoned by Trixie... The royal doctor said that it was indigestion coupled with my nerves and lack of sleep...... I can't belive what I did... Trixie, please... come back... I'm sorry... I'M SORRY!I'M SORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRYSORRY-

[12 pages of increasingly more jagged words "Sorry" being written with some stains on the paper from the tears]

Year 1098

…

I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't. I can't live like this anymore....I can't live at all. I still hear about the assasination attempts every day, some evenhappened, but... I can't find the power to be scared, or even care. The only thing that keeps me going is the idea that I don't deserve to end my suffering now. I still can't let go of her hat when I sleep... I have nightmares in my dreams and when I'm awake... I can't relax for a moment... I haven't slept in the last month... I forgot to switch Sun and Moon twice... I can't... the new war almost started, but... I couldn't handle it. I couldn't let all our work go to waste... I used the Elements of Harmony... soldiers are still looking for any traces of other kingdom... Changlings, Zebras, Griffons, deers and many others... it feel like their spirits are weighing me down.... trying to bring me to Tartarus... ... ... Tartarus.......

…

Year 1099

This is the last entry. I'm sorry, dear Diary. I can't live like this anymore... even one more day with all this guilt feels unbearable… My power, my mistakes, all those who I killed. I can't anymore... I do not want anyone else to repeat my mistakes. I have created those three chrystal's to take away the pony's magic... no one should have such power... they will be better without it... And I would be better... in tartarus. Sorry and goodbye, Dear Diary. You are the only friend I have left... please keep the memory of Trixie living with you. I want someone... anyone who reads to remember her as the Great and Powerful pony she was. And I... I will remember her forever... please... If anyone reads this... remember what I will say : The path to Tartarus is built with the most noble of intentions. I hope ponies have a new age of peace after this…"

«...do you also think the phrase about Tartarus is a riddle?» asked Quacker Jack with a smile, while turning to see two crying fillies, hugging eachother after reading it, «oh, stop being babies!She talks about Tartarus in the last ones a lot! And even talks about how the path to it is build! There definitely should be a key that will allow us to see her and ask her about everything ourselves!»says quackerjack, while closing thebook. The wind from it blows away the dust, revealing a secret entrance in the wall. Excitedly taking out statoscops - he tries to understand the combination...but it is a safe in which you need to find the right combination of letter... And this is a long one. While thinking about what it is - he notices Mega Volt using his hoovechief, and the idea strikes him. "Noble Intentions" was, as he suspected, a password, and inside he found a marked map and a giant key that looked like a magic artifact. While the other two turned to him, still all in tears, he showed them his findings.

«Well,it seems we will be able to hear the full story first hoof!»
