It's getting to be a while with these things (does anypony eve read these?). Anywho things in Midgard (earth) are really starting to be the water to my rock. There's been death, failures abound (the fact I'm a scorpio auto makes the failures ten times worse being we're afraid of failure, hence the deep dips I've been taking in the proverbial depression well). I've lost 3 relatives in the span of two/three months. I've had to attend three funerals and a burial. Good news I got to see some family I see less than I see my workplace (lay about, I have no workspace), Bad news I found out I'm an empath. So beneath the biblical sized tsunami of emotional pain from everyone around me, my step's attitude toward me (I'm dumb, worthless, etc), and mine own emotions, divided amoung mourning and feeling bad at letting people down, and the hulk like temper, I think I don't have much left before I start living in my bed, barely waking for anything. Literally all I feel right now is that I'm worthless as a son and brother because of event's that happened last year. Having premonitions and being an empath is more hazardous to my mental health than helpful. I really need to leave the area for a while, bad enough to where it's a mental lifesaver, just for the enjoyment and break it'll bring. Hopefully a promised trip to ciderfest will be just the thing, especially with tabby there. Dream come true, yet double edged blade.

On the other side;
Equestrian ranger, tried it, no call for the mechs, save it for something bigger. Twi was responsible for this one. A spell she was using on a plant got out of hoof, and struck a pack of timbers, quadrupling their number. Morphed, used the three forms and weapons (Uni/staff, earth/hammer, peg/ feather) to take them down. the number dwindled when they went king. Used alicorn form (combined main ranger form) and alicannon to dust them as well. The number dwindled again as they became one really big high king timber (my name for a second king timber form) and it was as big as a dragon. Called the mechs (E,U,P), went mega (alicorn mega), dusted the timber for good. Think I'll stow that and the rest of the "artifacts" away until either a dragon swarm or some villain has an ego that matches their growth rate.

While both diplomat training for the sisters (they refuse to give me a reason for schooling me on politics, etiquette, and resources) and running off to deter a group of wolf like creatures just south of the yakistani border, I happened to miss a couple big events for my 'mallows. Rare's store opening in the capitol, sisterhooves social, the crusadoers getting their marks, (with the side miracle of Tiara becoming good). Had to make it up with the girls. Made up with Rare and swibbs, though I still have to win back bloom and scoot.

Now I must go see to some research as well as get ready for the dream diplo training the sisters and I have set up while away from Canterlot. Maybe go seek some advice across the looking glass.
