Day 40

Okay, good, I found this thing again. Man, I thought I'd lost it forever!

So anyway, what happened was that pretty much the entire kingdom had shut down for a while. Everypony was still there, but a couple days ago, there was a massive police and guard presence that ran through the streets. I got caught up in it all no thanks to my roaming about using my guard uniform just in case. I... guess my diary must've fallen on the streets while I was being forced to march.

All in all, I had to help pull a few suspected dissidents from their homes and banish them from the kingdom. No doubt they'll end up fighting for the Ashen cause instead. I'm just a little surprised that they weren't beamed like the ones in Canterlot were. I guess technically being its own autonomous kingdom means Celestia isn't going to have her hooves in anything?

So anyway, the level of panic in the kingdom's died down now, and I was allowed to go back "home". I still have a bad feeling that the whole military-sweep of this place is only the beginning, though.
