Khenal's Book, Chapter 4
I don't like badgerpegasi. Apparently, neither does Captain Starkey. He had us hunting them for training for the last few days. Moving as a squad took getting used to, but we've killed several of them. The bodies are waiting for the butcher. I think I'll stick to fruits and veggies for a while. It just feels weird to eat badgerpegasus meat.
Chapter 5
The caravan was spotted today, and we were dispatched to escort them in. Everypony was on edge worrying about a possible Diomedian attack on the caravan. Happily, all was quiet. I think the caravan brought a lot of metal, we've been getting new equipment. I really like this new spear. I'd love if it never had to be used, but I know it will help protect GlitterGlen.
Chapter 6
Snatchers have returned. One was spotted early and chased off. The other, however, actually made it down almost past the barracks! Captain Starkey spotted the would-be foalnapper and yelled the warning before giving chase. He had it cornered and we finished it off. I christened my new spear with Diomedian blood and brains. The others are giving me credit for the kill, but I think the Captain had given it a mortal wound already. All I did was make it stop moving. I'm just glad the Captain was the one to spot it. I didn't notice until later that night, but the Diomedian had given my new copper armor a good gash. If anypony but the Captain had found it, I fear somepony would have gotten that dagger in their heart.
I noticed something else concerning that night: my old spear was gone. At first, I thought it was simply melted to be used as something else, maybe even my new armor. But the other old equipment was still in the armory. I hope I'm just being paranoid, but I can't help but be concerned. I don't know why, but it's disappearance reminds me of the strange business of those wooden wing extensions. I really hope it's nothing. After all, it's been a long time since I've woken up with anything weird on my wings.

Awesome! This thread is shaping up to be really great. And thanks so much Khenal!
No problem! I like that pony creator, and I like having pictures to associate with the ponies
