My first day, if it can even be called that has gone less than well so far. I attempted to sleep but I was restless and every time I would come close to drifting off, I would hear one of those abominations groan or my rubies would go off, zapping one of them after a few moments. I eventually gave up on sleep and just took to seeing what I had here. It's not much in terms of supplies, some canned food, a several flasks of water, some random bottled drinks, a few small packs of dried stuff, and half a bale of hay. I'll use a storage spell to pack what I can before I head off, I don't intend to come back here, but I might also stash some stuff for whoever comes after me. It almost sounds idiotic to be thinking of others like that, but I suppose it's Puzzle rubbing off on me.

I did make it up to the roof and I was able to just barely see Canterlot, though I was also unfortunately able to see I'm on the other side of the Everfree forest from it. I'm a long way from home either way so it seems I'm going to Canterlot. Now I need to decide if I should risk turning into a shadow to travel....if I even can or perhaps go on hoof. Each have their own challenges and advantages. I'm considering a mix of both, maybe stopping in trees to rest then keep going, though I should maybe test to see if I can even transform before anything.

There's a few drops of blood on the page here

It appears I cannot transform at all. I cast the spell and leapt, only to crash to the ground and slice my cheek on a rock. Fortunately, it's not major though it is painful even after washing and patching it. It seems I'll be going on hoof from here. Now I need to plan the best route there. It would most likely be a death sentence to try and go straight through the forest not only because of the dead but also whatever creatures may be lurking within it...if this nightmare allows them. I will admit I find it odd that I haven't heard or seen a single animal in all the nights I've been forced here or since I've been trapped, but on the other hoof forests often go silent when danger is near, I'll have to see as I continue on. For now my main goal will be packing up what I can, prepping this place for whoever comes next, and being on my way to Canterlot.

Author's Note

Hey sorry about such a short chapter. I have a little bit of writer's block and also want to maybe do days where Sombra stops to write whenever he rests or just needs to make an update.
