From the introduction:
Dear Diary,
It seems that once again I have wonderful news for you. Because of the cretins reading my private diary who are detailing the wondrous races of my kingdom, I have decided to make this a semi-frequent updated series, which will be published and distributed by the ever cheerful mare who runs “Absolutely Everything” in New Appleloosa. I know it will be an instant hit. So, with my trusty Princess Perfect model typewriter by Ironshod Firearms, let us talk about my newest discovery! The Oliptera, or simply, Bat Ponies! Theae are the shadowy winged ponies of the night who served as my sister Lulu’s honor guard and knights. After having met them in their caves and hidey holes, they were excited beyond belief to help me and resume the honored position of ‘Night Guard’.
So, with that said, let I, Princess Mary Sue, heir to the Equestrian throne, rightful ruler of the Equestrian Wasteland, share with you the information I have discovered about my shadowy citizens.
