Today I have been in this place for a year. There is still much I do not understand about its ways as well as the ways of the people who live here, including all of you. There are times where I think I am adjusting, where I think I am understanding, but then something happens and it is clear that I am not.

I am not sure if I will ever understand.

There is a man here now by the name of Haytham Kenway. Treat him as genially as you like, but I warn you not to trust him. - Connor

[Assassins + Maria Thorpe - Edward Kenway]
He is a Templar. I do not ask for favours lightly, but I will ask you this: Do not kill him for this fact only; there is no point in this world. - Connor

It is now I'm here.

Dictated

[eaglet]

Ah. Then you are new to this world?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

Sure am! I arrived a couple of days ago.

Dictated

[eaglet]

[What a time to arrive...]

I am sorry you have come during a time of turmoil. It is not usually... [Well, that's not true.] It is not always like this.

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

You mean the sleepwalking thing? It's okay, weird stuff happens in Equestria all the time.

[Most of it happens in Ponyville but details. He probably should ask if Connor got through it ok, but that thought doesn't occur to him. Sorry bro, he needs to level up hi friendship abilities first.]

It sure gets back to normal quickly.

Dictated

[eaglet]

Well, that and also that the castle has changed itself as well. It must be confusing to... [Wait.]

Where is it you are from? Equestria?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

Yep, that's the kingdom I live in. We have a lot of magic, but I'm pretty sure we don't have any sentient castles there.

Dictated

[eaglet]

I have met many people here who make claims that their worlds hold magic. I did not think it was such a common thing.

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

Well, not everypony can use magic. That's mostly just for the unicorns and the alicorns.

Pegasi too, I guess. In their own wing-y, weather change-y way.

Dictated

[eaglet]

[Wait


wh]

Ponies? [Whaticorns??]

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

[Don't fight it, Connor. Let the magic into your life.]

Sure! That's what I am, a pony. A party pony.

Dictated

[eaglet]

[No.....]

What is a... 'party pony'?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

I'm a pony who plans parties.

[Descriptive!]

Some of the best parties in Equestria, by the way.

Dictated

[eaglet]

Are you actually a pony?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

[He pauses here, as if he's taking inventory.]

Four hooves, curly mane, curly tail, super handsome muzzle.

Yep. Definitely a pony.

Dictated

[eaglet]

Then how is it you are speaking?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

The same way you are? I just open my mouth and words come out.

Dictated

[eaglet]

Ponies do not normally speak.

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

We do where I come from. There are talking ponies everywhere. As far as the eye can see!

Dictated

[eaglet]

[SQUINTING....]

Are you lying?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

[PAUSE.]

...No? Look, hang on, just one...sec.

[Maybe he wished up an inkpot, maybe he stood in a paint palette, maybe he got a pile of fondue; but however he managed it, there's now a wet hoofprint sinking into the paper.]

Does that work? Did that get through to your page?

Dictated

[eaglet]

[Maybe Connor is physically recoiling from this journal now!! Gross...]

Yes... strange...

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

[At least it's proof he's not lying. Or maybe it's just proof he's a crazy man who's kidnapped a tiny horse.]

See, totally a talking pony.

Dictated

[eaglet]

[Yeah, he's sort of leaning toward the latter right now.]

What is your name?

Dictated

[preformthisneigh]

Name's Cheese Sandwich, nice to meetcha.
