Journal Entry 2
 
        WAKING UP ON THE TRAIN, I freaked out about not being human.  I thought this was the dream, not what I dreamt last night, being back home.  It's going to take a while for me to get used to this.  I left the sleeping car and searched for the dining one.  After finding it and grabbing a bite to eat, I talked with some of the group.  The settlement we're headed to is called Four Cannon, and the journey will take several days.  With nothing to do besides talk and practice magic, I did just that.  Some of the more daring disregarded the rules about limiting magic use and almost burned a few cars down when trying to light the candle.  I focused on levitation and trying to decode the pamphlet.  My determination was rewarded as I learned a spell on how to give magic a solid form.  True, the spell was just for a small ball, but I should be able to modify it later for shape and movement.  Another basic spell learned was creating a sphere of light.  They should have taught us that back at the castle and not something that would burn everything down, but I guess they're used to working with ponies that obey the rules.  Some of the other unicorns did this spell out in the open, getting the sphere to move while shouting, "Hey! Link! Listen!" over and over until they were punched for annoying everyone.  The pegasai were getting cramped and were going stir crazy.  Thankfully the ride was over soon and we came into the new settlement.  Almost nothing was built.  No running water, no homes, just a few buildings.  We unloaded the train and separated supplies.  After that, we were each given a meal, a tent, and a sleeping bag.  There was no structure at all we were just told to, "help out with what you know or are good at."
 
        One of the major features was a radio tower.  However, since nobody had electricity set up yet, it's mostly kind of useless.  A few were mad for one person using all that metal, considering it was supposed to be used for housing, but what's done is done.  I set up my tent and went to sleep.
