The exiled student

B.E.A.R.

Buck Everything And Run! I ran to the house and grabbed my old battle armor, saddlebags, and weapons along with some supplies, tools, rope, a map, journal, and about 1000 bits. Strapping on my boots I quickly scribbled down a note for the others to find and I set out to find clues. Running through the forest I flew west to Las Pegasus, it's built on top of what used to be the city of Invictavus, hometown of Xy and Mac.

18 hours later

After many hours of flight I saw Las Pegasus. Immediately I knew where to go. To the easternmost exit of the city were some ruins. Overrun by tourists. I closed my wings and just fell straight down to the ground and spread my wings just a meter above the ground. I landed safely and walked to the ruins looking through the various houses. Eventually I found one with Melancholic Runes on it and recognize it as Mac's house. It was remarkably intact and well kept. Probably an old spell or something. Checking to make sure no one was looking I picked the lock on the door and rushed inside the first thing i noticed was how clean everything was. The second thing I noticed was an old set of Equestrian infantry Armour. It had a spear on it though rather than be in the typical upright with the blade down position the spear was balanced on the back of the armor pointing towards the wall which was pitch black. I realized immediately that this was a portal wall and shined light on it. The pitch black faded away revealing a map with an X on what is now Apploosa. With a sigh I returned east to Apploosa.

A few hours later

After about 2 hours I reached Apploosa, the sun had finally set and under the cover of night I snuck into the marked area, an old circus tent covered the area. Entering Entering cautiously I used a shovel and dug in the general area of the X. After the 5th try I found a chest of some sort. Pulling it out of the ground I opened it to find a journal. Written in Luchadoria Runes was the journal of Mac. It read:

Day 967

Morning

Jinx has been missing for a few years now. Me and Xyzen have been tracking him for the past year but he always manages to move on before we catch him. It's almost like he's avoiding us. After hearing about his fight with Celestia I suspect she may have something to do with it. Until we find out from Jinx we'll never know

Evening

We've stopped to set up camp. As far as we know Jinx is mad. Not angry but insane. He's changed location a hundred times at least and we don't know what's going on. Xyzen hasn't given up hope that we'll find him and put an end to this madness. I just hope he's right.

Day 1001

We were attacked by Griffin bandits just earlier and unfortunately Xyzen hurt his wing. I have some minor cuts but otherwise I am fine. The Griffins in question are dead. Our search for Jinx has gotten tiring and painful but no matter what, I won't stop looking.

Day 1023

Xyzen is back in shape for flying and my wounds scarred giving me a nice look. We are currently at an old campsite that was definitely used by Jinx. There are Taurien Runes everywhere but I can't read them yet. From what Xy was able to translate jinx is heading through the mountains of the yak nation. Luna be with us.

Day 1068

Jinx massacred an entire village of yaks, or so is the theory. The scorch marks indicate Fire spells which Jinx has never used in combat. I don't think it was him but we don't have time to clear his name, we need to find his trail again

Noon

It's noon and we've stopped by a local yak village for lunch and supplies in exchange for enough bits for some Solar Steel armor for the Chief. As we sat and ate we noticed an ominous presence. A source of magic so strong we could feel it despite not being unicorns. We rushed outside and saw jinx zoom across the sky. He is now an alicorn! That explains how easily he evades us, his magic, and added Pegasus abilities give him the upper hand out here.

Day 1247

This will be my last entry here. We're looking for Jinx in the Dragonlands. Hopefully we'll have be+±=|3 _|Uck

~~~--->>>[()]<<<---~~~

There were no pages after that and the ink was smeared. A small bit of blood on the pages.

Jinx: That can't be good.

Looking in the chest I found a map. This map had a small island marked, the island of Minos, home of the Minotaurs. With a sigh I opened a portal and tossed the chest and its contents in it. Closing the portal I got some bits ready and headed to the inn.

Innkeeper: Howdy there stranger, what can I do you fer?

Jinx: I'll need one room for the night, preferably one that might house a minotaur.

Innkeeper: We got just the room for you big fella, right this way.

After showing me to my room and taking the 5 bits she charged for the night the kind mare went back to the frontdesk. I removed my armor and after a good stretch and relaxing bath I slept. I'm the morning I awoke just before the sun rose to suit up. I left 4 bits on the bedside table and left through the window flying to the Dragonlands. They're on the way to minos and will probably hold some clues.

4 hours later

I arrived in the Dragonlands and immediately cast my special Predecessor Sight spell I could see who passed through where and when. With lands as barren as thes with dragons flying finding a hint of their trail shouldn't be hard. After many minutes I found mac's trail but Xyzen's wasn't there. That means that he must be in minos. Oh no. They split up. Fu-
