I… I really need to be careful. I’ve definitely found a much better place to keep this diary. After all… if they really wanted to hurt me, all they would have to do is read this.

But while I am nervous and have asked my Myrmidons to investigate, something doesn’t make sense.

First off, these incidents have been going on for so long, the poisoners or magicians should have died off.

Two, what would have been their gain to keep doing this so regularly that I’d notice and investigate?

Three, how? I’m not immune to all poisons or spells, but I should be more resistant. Something that can overcome my resistance should actually kill me rather than just giving me these sensations.

Damnit. I’ll just have to investigate slowly, with great care. And I can’t make a mistake. It’s not just my life at stake here, but the potential innocence of another pony.
