Date of creation: Nova Aetas 3, Jan 20
I went through the logs again.
"Large amount of signatures detected..." "...unidentified airborne objects resembling airships..." "...bearing no resemblance to Equestrian architecture and technology..." "...phalanx formations..." "...Possible colonization..." "...diplomatic request..."
"Threat Level: High, approach with caution. "
I already felt my stomach flip as I approached the ominous swarm of airships. I was led into the largest one, escorted by guards pointing swords at me. The interior is filled with torture equipment, weapons, and even what appears to be severed, preserved heads. Nothing in the meeting room looks like something that would suggest a peaceful collaboration. In fact, they looked like something that would be used to coerce someone into surrendering.
The first thing they said was that they were the Storm Empire, and, as I have guessed, demanded that I surrender my nation to them, of course, I refused. The air in the room froze for a brief moment.
Next thing I knew, assassins jumped out from all around the room. I ripped open a portal, and fled the scene, but I knew that won't be the end of it. They aren't going to give up just because the diplomat ran away, they will just get it by force, a war has begun.
