Dear reader,
This is the first page written in my journal. I have just bought this journal in a little quillshop just outside of Canterlot, along with a map. Right now, I am sitting on a bench, with my journal next to me. It is amazing here, and that's why I want to write about it!
I am going to travel all around Equestria and explore everything a unicorn filly like myself can do.
Oh, wait, I haven't introduced myself, have I? How rude of me. My name is Civviq Writer. Or rather, the name I chose for myself.
I used to be human. I have forgotten my human name and my human life. It just seems all like a blurry dream to me, but I'm sure I once was human. The only thing I remember, are some memories about my parents. They're smiling and laughing… but that isn't going to help me survive.
I do know about myself that I love to write. I used to write several stories about Equestria, but ever since I came here, there's no point in sharing them, because they're probably not true. I promise, that I will write only truths about my journeys. Travelling through Equestria will bring several adventures, so you will not be bored.
How I came here? That is a story I will tell when the time is right.
Anyway. I am now a unicorn. I have just begun to learn levitation, so I am writing this with the quill in my mouth. I can't write with hands, or rather, my hoofs anymore. Also, I haven't really had much good practice with writing, so I believe that over time you will see that my writing will improve.
Let me begin with the story of this book. I bought this book from the bits I had with me when I woke up again, in the fields nearby, under an old oak tree. Next to me was a saddlebag with some bits. Far above me I could see Canterlot in the mountain, not so far away. The lone mountain was in the east, and as far as I could see, there were several sorts of crops. Corn, rye, grain, and lush, and green grass as well. They are neatly devided in squares, separated with ditches or wire. Here and there were the occasional dark shapes of small bushes and trees. I looked on my map. It seems like I was in the Unicorn Range. Frankly, a good place to start for a unicorn like me. I smiled.
I already said I bought this journal a little outside of Canterlot. It was really not much more than a village. It was small, but it had a quill shop and a market.
I trotted into the village.
I had far too few eyes to see everything, really.
-Oh, sorry, but somepony's coming towards me! Gotta lay my pen down for now. I'll catch you later!
