Dear Chronicler,

Sorry that I have not been writing in you since I last wrote. I had been going through some tough times and I was kept away from you for a while.

Things had not been going too well with me lately. I got into... a fight with my parent... I mean, mother again but this time, I did it. I ran away. I was reckless but I am not going back like this. I feel so trapped inside, I am not allowed to express myself as she would always put it down as I am being childish or just tell me to grow up. I admit that I am a crybaby but I was not crying for attention, I was letting out my suffering.

My mom and dad fought and dad left and never came back. I just created this belief that he died so that it is less painful. I feel empty ever since I was told to grow up, to be honest, I was already sure that Mom had enough of me and just told me what she felt deep down. It hurts so much to hear that and it just couldn't take it and ran away. I am sure you hear quite enough of that already so I think I will just move on.

This place... is so strange. I do feel weaker here, I guess it is because of the dimension's ambient magic being quite weak compared to where I came from. My kyanite has been rather tainted lately and I was lucky to have some form of magic back or it would have corrupted even more. I used my magic to create myself a mask as I don't want to face anyone at the moment. I didn't know where I was but all I knew was that I am in the forest. I wandered about for days, savaging what I could for food and water. But I didn't last long and I passed out.

Now I am in a wood cabin, it seems. There is this zebra who took me in and took care of me while I was asleep. I didn't want to bother her so I tried to leave but I remembered. I don't know the place and it will take a while until I get used to the place. I have yet to ask her what is this place called but she seems to be busy at the moment, creating some sort of brew.

Life without my magic is going to be hard... I guess it would not be bad to learn a bit of alchemy for protection purposes. She has a lot of books but I do not understand the language so I guess I will have to observe her carefully.

About this zebra and her home, there is a lot of odd things that seems to be associated with a sort of tribal magic style. She has this tribal sun mark on her... flank and she wears gold accessories. There seems to be a few visitors that come to talk to her daily. I made sure to keep myself out of sight, the last thing I need is to get unwanted attention. I am not exactly a citizen or even supposed to exist here in the first place.

There are some days that I went out. I burrowed her cloak so that nobody could recognize me. She insisted that she accompany me and at least show me the woods a little more so that I would not get lost. It was a little tricky to learn, of course, only those who have walked these woods many times would know the various turns and also tricks to bypass some of the wildlife here. I think I saw a wolf made of wood. Soon, she showed me a place that she referred to as "PonyVille" and to my surprise, the creatures that live here are mainly ponies. She wanted to take me to the town hall so that they can find out who I belonged to... was I supposed to be some sort of pet or something? Regardless, I turned away before she could take me to that hall and for the first time, I spoke to her. I wanted to thank her for showing me around and also introduce myself and my situation. She seems to have understood what I said and more importantly, she was surprised that I talk. Her name was Zecora.

So after some discussion, I am now living with her and I am allowed to study alchemy on my own time and observe her do her work. I still kept out of sight whenever I hear hooves approaching and she was kind enough to provide me a place to hide in but she did tell me that I need to overcome my fear of meeting the ponies, it will be unavoidable.

Oh well, it has been an eventful few days in this world called "Equestria". I managed to get the magic to summon you back and also, I would like to say that I brought little Vero with me too. It is getting late, so I will write in you again tomorrow.

Goodnight,
Melke
