>"Princess" means "Beat cop."
Reminder that acording to the journal of the two sisters this was Celestias idea to begin with.

Alright, new journey begins at last!

Let's not fuck up!

>>30297271
You know what I enjoy about this picture?

AJ is the one with the bottle but Celly is the smashed one.

Alright! Talking again about this!

Okay, obvious vine issue has been addressed, you did a pretty good job with most of the baselines for Dash's speech, though obviously the more fleshed out version will need some nuance. I would advise expanding upon the "Says she's sick of fighting" thing, and maybe Rarity crying isn't the right response, that seems a bit off and I'm not sure why it would bring her to tears.

>>30297376
My biggest concern is that it only involves one party learning the information but the other part is not. Now, that isn't too big of an issue right now because obviously we can offscreen most of it, but it just seems like that would be something she would jump to.

>>30297271
EEEEEEEEE you actually used my picture!
OK! Motivation, drive and moxy all back to 100%, time tod raw!

>>30297376
I liked that, for the most part, he wants Rarity being concerned with the personal stuff, it fits better, that said I think the ending is a little too much and needs a more decisive response on Rarity's side. Right now it's just her being sad, but we need to know her feelings about it towards AJ. Does she hate her for it? Understand? Resent but not hold it against? Up to the end it's very strong but that needs a stronger finisher.

OOCO
>AJ
"Celestia"
~~~

>Tia? Gotta question.

"It begins again! The song of the end that sings on forever! Hark, do I hear the choir of my end? I do! Let me join in the hymn of the abyss with them!"

>Kay, just so long as ya'll manage to work an answer into the song.

"Ohhh, you're princess Applejack and you make me want to eat glass, so why don't you reach up and kiss my giant sunny a-"

>Mah' question is, could we theoretically solve world hunger? Us alicorns Ah' mean. Ah' know it's outside of most unicorns, but Ah' swear Ah' saw Twilight raising some crops the other day, and Ah' figured it was cause Earth Pony magic or some stuff, Ah' dunno, this stuff stops makin' sense the more Ah' think about it.

"What world hunger?"

>Ya' know, hungry fellas.

"Where?"

>What do you mean, where?

"Name me one time you ever saw a single starving pony, ever."

>Well, Ah' mean, obviously there was, ya' know.

"Well?"

>Ah' mean just cause Ah' didn't see it doesn't mean that.

"Doesn't mean what?"

>There has to be!

"Why?"

>Ah' just-ya' can't-Alright! Ah'm gonna find a starving pony and show you what for!

"You do that."

>HRMPH! Frontflip, cause that's smarter!

FLIP
SPLORP

>TARNATION IT'S FULL OF GLUE!

"Annnd, that'll buy me about ten minutes."

>IT'S ALL YER' FAULT!

>>30297454
I can agree with that; ending needs Rarity to make a stand of some kind, I'll leave it up to the author what she eventually decides on but it can't be "she's sad". If her being sad leads to the next thing where she takes a stand, great.

Whoever you are, thanks for fixing that 'here' thing I mentioned... and re-writing the header a bit.

Nothing better than slow and steady improvement!

>Whoever you are, thanks for fixing that 'here' thing I mentioned

...Oh shit, I didn't fix that. Sorry, Schmoe took over thread 200, and you know it's been a week, slipped my mind to fix it. I'll get it next time.

S-sooo... that thing? That thing that happened at the end of the last thread? You know. Sunset and those 'others' with her? What...

>>30297789
It was probably a NC way to fuck with us. Probably. Maybe.

Pinkie Previews!

>You don't have to tell Applejack what happened, but you have to eat all these apples.

>Rainbow Dash likes turtles! Or was it tortoise?
>Rarity knows how to get in the right position.

>Cadence puts it in the wrong hole.

> After Party fanservice!

>Chrysalis
"???"
~~~

>...Something's wrong.

Her voice was whispered out into the wind, unheard by any around her perch atop her new castle's peak, her nimble hooves never so much as shaking atop the grant spire at the very top. The Queen looked out into the blistering and biting cold, the frozen landscape that is the plain she hoped to change into something else, in time. Out into that barren nothing, her cutting eyes sliced across the distance.

>But... what-

"What are you doing up here?"

The sound she made as her hooves slipped and she bounced off the twisted spikes of the black monolith to her new kingdom were ones that would stick with the stallion for the rest of his life. As would her calls as she fell down.

>OH SHIT-OW FUCK NO-FUCK OW OW-WHY IS THIS SO SPIKEY-FUCKFUCKOWOWWWWWWHYPLEASEDEARHIVEMINDMAKEITSTOP-FUCKOWWHY-ITHURRRrrrtsowfuckow...ow...w...

It was an awkward five minutes of waiting before she reappeared in a flash of fire atop her perch.

>...Shiny.

"You okay?"

>I'm fine.

"You don't look fine."

The single non-swollen eye glared at him. As with pretty much all she had ever done, he remained unphased.

"You want a hug?"

>Why is that your response to everything?

"Because you're a species that literally feeds on love for power and as a result if I hug you and give you love you get better. I mean, healing, laser fight, and faster flight solve like ninety percent of all your problems, and hugs solve the rest. It's a pretty universal bandaid."

She resolved to dispute that the moment her eyes stopped crossing.

"So, once more, why are you up here?"

>I'm thinking.

"It's cold."

>It's to keep out everyone else. Only I am strong enough to stay perched atop my castle.

"That sounds lonely."

>I think better when I have my full mind to focus on it.

"Name one idea of yours that worked without running it by someone else, just for completionist's sake I'll including perching up here."

Her one good eye got rather shifty rather fast.

>...Shut up.

>>30298053

"You know what you need?"

>Answers. Answers to why the wind blows as it does. What has changed... and what is changing.

"Is it a changeling? You guys do that a lot. There, you have your answers."

Her eye had begun twitching.

"No, you know what you really need? Coco. Hot coco. Because you look really cold."

>I do not need.

Only coco could make it stop. Coincidentally...

>Please tell me you carried that up with magic.

"It'd get cold that way."

>What... why on your back!?

"My back is very warm."

The stallion looked far too pleased with himself for balancing what looked like a very hot and quite steaming hunk of ceramic on his back.

>You're going to burn yourself!

"Gasp! You're right! Quick, drink it up before it gets too bad! You're my only hope!"

Correction, he looked far too pleased with himself in general.

>Your dad humor has begun.

"Really? I thought that you'd spin that into an innuendo."

>Wait... are... are you trying to bait me into innuendo?

"Maybe. Are you not taking it?"

Her whole world had been shattered.

>...I don't know how to feel about this anymore.

"I thought you'd like it, you always seem happier with innuendo."

>I do! This is all so confusing! I've lost my my-SON OF A BIIIII-

Thankfully, at least one of them had the sense of mind to pay attention to gravity and it's dark grasp.

>...I'm not thanking you, this is all your fault.

The Queen's attempt to look aside were somewhat diminished by her upside down hair being caught on the nearest twisted spire.

"We really need to guard those, someone could fly into that."

>I'm noticing flaws in my architecture, I'll admit.

"You want me to put you back on the perch?"

>I think the moment's ruined.

"Well in that case..."

With his telekinetic hold still firmly on her, the Queen floated towards him.

"Coco?"

An impish smile crossed her face.

>>30298060

"Chrysalis."

It grew.

"Chrysaliiissss.'

And grew.

"Think about this."

And grew until it could grow no more.

"Seriously consider your actions before-"

>Poke.

The sound the stallion made when the cup tipped over onto his flank was the stuff of legends.

>HAH! I-OH SHIT!

Sadly she would never hear it.

>OW OW OW OWWOORRrrrtthowowowiihhhtttiiiiiiiiitttttt...

He held no pity in his heart.

"In three... two..."

Fwoosh went her telltale flame when she appeared next to him.

>Oh my, for me? Let me lick that off promptly.

She never missed a step.

"Are you okay?"

She smirked as she grabbed him by the hind end, lifting him up off the ground despite his kicking.

>...Clean bubble?

Her smile did not last.

"Clean bubble."

>I had a thing here.

"Okay, whatever you think you were going to do with that, not happening."

>I was going to go for the front end, come on! I'm not playing with this end.

"Thank you."

>You can play with mine if you want-

"Put me down."

Unceremoniously, he was dropped, and she returned to all fours.

>And here I thought this was to cheer me up! I'm not cheered at all!

"Will this help?"

She probably should question where he produced the other steaming mug from.

>WARMTH!

But after two tumbles into the snow, she had other things on her mind.

>Mmm... warmth...

Among them, rubbing her side against the white stallion. He didn't push her away.

>My dark broody moment is ruined, you know.

"Good."

>HAH!... So why'd you bring two? Knew I'd spill one?

"Hm? Oh, that was mine."

>Oh...

It was rare to see the Queen hold actual regret.

Rarer still to see her smile so genuinely. Very seldom few had ever seen either.

"Sounds good to me."

The stallion wasn't even phased by it at this point.

>>30298068

>...You don't have to look out for me, you know. I'm my own Queen now.

"True, but if I didn't..."

He didn't even have to say a word. When he started walking, she followed.

"Who else would keep you from brooding?"

>Welll-

"Or rather, who else would you rather have?"

The warm smile put a stop to her biting reply. That, and a nice sip of coco.

>Fair enough. Still though, something is happening.

"Chrysalis?"

Gently, he took the mug from her

"Whatever it is.."

And he took a sip, and she couldn't help but notice it had come from the same spot as her own.

"It'll be fine."

>...It'll be fine indeed.

The two shared a smile, and down into the castle they walked. Ready, for whatever disaster would come next.

>...So did you close my window, or-

"There is no window."

>Ah. So that explains the draft.

>Well that's not worrying or anything.

From her calculations, and very seldom were they off, the portal had been used a great many times in the recent day. Most could be explained with little thought, the prince or the others going back and forth about their business as they should, but that was not what brought worry to her creased brow.

>It might be a coincidence.

What unnerved her was the fact that the magical storage had been replenished. Normally, it was very little of an issue.

>But...

Very seldom did those who replenished it bring the levels back to nearly exactly what they had been before the transportation. So nearly exactly, that had it been anyone else, it was doubtful they would have noticed the tenth of a millimeter difference between the last mark made, the one she herself had, and the current levels it sat at. Anyone else would have shrugged off the imperceptible mark as simple drainage.

>If one could drain upwards, that is.

Whoever had done this had thought none would look too closely, no other would notice that change. Only she, one who made notes every single time a change was made to that portal, who since her fall had made sure that every single passage was noted and accounted for, could have noticed.

With the death of Silver Star, Soarin has taken his place as Admiral. He's been an "admirable" successor and has been continuing Silver Star's campaign against crystal entities with pride. However, nobody seemed to like Soarin'. Nobody actually knew why.

Sadly, because some people won't accept that Celly and Luna can into DEMI-GOD POWERS, Rarity was pretty much a fluke of inexperience and AUJ is a fucking power stealing dictator of evil! AJ can't into earth shaker magic cause it's "not canon". To bad, so sad.

>>30304191
Hey, Chitty got something of hers, maybe they will have to return the favor.

Titan AJ when?

>>30304221
She doesn't need to be strong enough to glare a mountain into pebbles but her high effort powers should still be mountain shattering if the need arises. That's why I think the canon Alicorn power scale is bullshit, they magically lobotomized them for the CD of other characters, and they didn't need to do that to begin with!

Celestia should have sun powers that can glass a city damn it! I mean She'd never uses them because despite what she says about burning it all to the ground she loves all life and wants to protect it, but still.

Gimmer is going to be an amazing villain... She's had more time to expand, Stalin Pone has probably gathered more than one village worth of slaves now.

>>30304288
>they magically lobotomized them for the CD of other characters, and they didn't need to do that to begin with!

...they who?

Show they?

Because show is what we baselined it off of and said "Okay we're not going crazy above that because it means a LOT of show events wouldn't make sense otherwise."

Got a problem with it aim it at the show that we love.

Also Celly having the power to glass a city makes no sense in the context of the Tirek fight, Twilight had WAAYYYYy more than just Celly and an open field, and was clearly giving it her all and never even came close to that level.

>>30304288
>Celestia should have sun powers that can glass a city damn it!

Stop powerleveling when it conflicts with literally everything else that has ever been show already, it makes no sense.

>I mean She'd never uses them because despite what she says about burning it all to the ground she loves all life and wants to protect it, but still.

You are literally arguing on behalf of bullshit contradictory powerups for bragging rights here! Saying "Well Celly could have just nuked Chrysalis super easy she didn't really win but Celly cares too much" does nothing for the story but just boils down to explaining why someone lost without admitting that one party was stronger than the other, it makes no narrative sense and if she'd had these powers all along and didn't use them against, say, the Cordyceps Shroom, it actually assassinates her character because it says she won't even use it against a massive, easy to hit target with nothing else living in it but killer spores that are going to wipe out the planet. It's just saying "I could but I can never use it, just want to establish I'm strongest here so neh."

If nothing else, sticking to the show power level ends those arguments.

>>30304314
...they who?

Overlord Hasbro turned God like magical beings into something we COULD poke fun at and then turned them into sub-par Magical Beings.

Back during the wedding we all thought that the love Chrysalis had absorbed had made her attack strong enough to catch Celly off guard but nope, just shit magical horse apparently. It makes me salty.

>>30304359
>...they who?

I asked you they who first!

>Back during the wedding we all thought that the love Chrysalis had absorbed had made her attack strong enough to catch Celly off guard but nope, just shit magical horse apparently.

She is still stronger than any other pony, but still. Not a god, no, and that's how it should be.

>>30304359
>Back during the wedding we all thought that the love Chrysalis had absorbed had made her attack strong enough to catch Celly off guard

That doesn't fit with the scene, it was just a possible explanation that didn't pan out.

And we still make them stronger than normal, but godlike power they can never use is narrative poison.

I forgot to green the line, use your head /pa/l.

>>30304357
>You are literally arguing on behalf of bullshit contradictory powerups for bragging rights here!

No I'm not, the point I'm trying to make is that, that is how things should have been and they aren't and because they aren't AJ can never shatter mountains.

>it makes no narrative sense and if she'd had these powers all along and didn't use them against, say, the Cordyceps Shroom

Umm lets see... to be able to deal with something like that you'd need to... oh I don't know, glass a city? Filled with ponies? Yeah that's gonna happen, right?

>it actually assassinates her character because it says she won't even use it against a massive,
Not really, in the fight with Chitty she thought to herself that she'd be able to do more if they weren't there in the city. I think, I'm pretty sure she though that. Archive Diver plz.

>>30304359
>. It makes me salty.

I'mma back you up that they got nerfed way too hard. Maybe yeah super nukes was too much but where are all the cool spells? Why isn't Celly whipping out some fucking MAGIC on the show? She's supposed to be smartest horse but any time someone uses a spell on her she just falls over like a fainting goat. Gimme something here! She's Dumbledoor except he never fought anyone!

Well okay can't argue that, except the 'should have been' obviously, have to agree to disagree on something.

>Umm lets see... to be able to deal with something like that you'd need to... oh I don't know, glass a city? Filled with ponies? Yeah that's gonna happen, right?

It was bigger than the castle and had zero ponies inside of it, they were all outside shooting Chitania. That would be saying "My range is earth to city, a castle is still too small! So I can realistically never use it."

>Not really, in the fight with Chitty she thought to herself that she'd be able to do more if they weren't there in the city. I think, I'm pretty sure she though that. Archive Diver plz.

I'll save him the trouble and say yeah, she did think that, but her inner musings were all about dropping stuff on her or something spell related, not literally nuking her. She actually thought "Giant rock" at one point.

>>30304379
>That doesn't fit with the scene, it was just a possible explanation that didn't pan out.

We know that NOW but then we didn't and they've been slowly nerfed since then as far as I'm concerned.

>but godlike power they can never use is narrative poison.

Moving the sun and moon seem pretty godlike Anon and that's been a staple level for DEMI - Gods for a while now. Can you all remember the DEMI please? That's important, they're kids of THE god of this world here, they should be a fuckton stronger than uplifted ponies.

You're taking it to literally, I meant that in a general sense of things and I might have forgotten the placement of the rest of the poines. It's been a while.

I actually agree, but I like what we've done so far with AJ's potential. AUJ was a huge twist I SUPER did not see coming, but AJ has an innate ability I want to see explored. I wouldn't if she was default mountainwrecking just for some powerlevel bullshit.

"Griffon Guards"
~~~~

Delight gives the airship before him a once over as his chaperones discuss something with another guard. The ship was nothing compared to the royal airship, still in the beginnings of its refueling process, but had the same gruff majesty of its superior in a smaller form.

For a moment, the pegasus anxiously wondered if this ship might be able to ferry him home. The thought died when he considered the vast distance, not just between Canterlot and Gryphonia proper, but between their shores where nothing save the Celestial Sea stood.

This airship looked as though it would teeter out half-way across the Griffon Kingdom without refueling, let alone be able to make it across the sea.

Out of the corner of his eye, Delight notices one of his chaperone climb the ship's ramp, which prompts him to turn his attention fully onto the griffon. The guard halts his ascension for a moment to glance at Delight and, noticing that the stallion's attention is already on him, motions for the pegasus to follow after.

"Be sure to contact us once the connection is ready."

"Right."

With a nod and a salute, Delight's other chaperone finishes his conversation and joins the two of them aboard the airship.

"Alright. Everything's in order, so we'll be shoving off in a bit."

>Shoving off to where?

"The Perch."

With that, the griffon steps past Delight and makes his way over to the airship's helm.

>Hmm... Will we be visiting The Nest next?

"No."

>Oh... What about The Coop?

"Laugh it up, funny boy."

>Or maybe... The Henhouse?

"Argh..."

"...You know, we could probably drop by there-"

"Don't encourage him!"

>>30307398
>The Henhouse?

Is that where Sigfried goes to drink away his sorrows?

>>30307487
Drink... Yes, obviously this is a place for Drinking... nothing else but Drinking. Mhm.

>>30307398
You know, at some point they are just going to pretend they can't hear him. Let him talk. Without anyone to bounce off his moronic sense of humor, he'll sound like a gigantic moron who can't dhut his yap. Which, again, makes me wonder how he EVER made into a high-ranking military position. Delight is the poster-boy for 'loose lips'.

>>30307584
Well obviously he's going to do more than drink!

He's also going to cry and ignore the lap dance.

The dragon before him hoped dearly that the rumbling massive behemoth was referring to the information given, and not the new-fangled way of printing pictures on strips of paper.

The guy was behind the times a bit.

>So, it wasn't one of us that managed to finally kill that bitch, but this... thing?

Somewhere between wondering why the Dragon Lord expected him to know that information and if he was supposed to respond at all, said dragon lord started laughing.

Very loud, very unnerving laughter.

>Interesting! That, is very interesting... You.

When it stopped, the shakes did not.

>Go find out what you can about this... golem. If something out there can slay something even those whimps of dragons can't stop, I want to know what else it's capable of... and how to kill it.

With a single beat of eager wings, the dragon that would otherwise tower above a building yet felt so utterly dwarfed by the massive beast before him fled as fast as he could, lest the crazed Lord do something else even crazier than ask them to risk their lives finding information on something even more deadly then their greatest foe.

>They pop up like flies, these creatures. Always something out there thinking it's as big as a dragon.

Didn't she try to pick her up a bunch of times?

Come to think of it, why do you suppose that nobody ever tries picking up any badguy ever with TK? Twilight never even did it VS Glimglam.

>...Hrm..

She looked left. She looked right.

>...Rhmmmm.

She looked back, she looked straight ahead.

>...Hrmrmmmm...

She pondered it for a second, and didn't like what she came to discover.

>...I went the wrong way, didn't I?

She doubted the distant sound of a whale breaching was an answer, but it may as well have been.

>Ah. Land was the other direction. Got you... well, this is going to be awkward.

>>30311683
Obviously there's a way to block it. Which makes sense, if an entire SPECIES has the ability to use magic to pick you up, and you have magic, and more importantly you want to fight them... I mean this is just fucking logic here, what are you going to do?
>Man I hope he doesn't pick me up, I better just bank on that-oh no he picked me up! My plan has been foiled!

>>30311683
Well, something I once read on the Star Wars wiki is that, when facing off against another force-user, a sufficiently trained force user will use a "grounding" technique that wards off being force pushed/pulled/thrown about. I imagine it's not 100% effective against an opponent out of said force user's league, but it's something.

How powerful is our TK? In the show, once it's cast it's pretty much instantly on the target and nobody's been shown to be able to break out of it. And before someone brings it up, Twilight's like the only one we've seen use TK frequently to hold ponies, but her being the element of Magic whose special talent is Magic and blah blah doesn't change that regular unicorns know TK at a decent level and it most likely doesn't take much for one to get good enough to completely stop a pony in their tracks.

>>30311980
"Hey, babe! Ready to go see that new Marevel movie, Scotch Summer?"

>Ye-yeah! Totally...

>>30312070
>That followup

Slow clap

>>30312070
Show TK is one that needs to either be vastly stronger than the opponent, we're talking Twilight couldn't even cast it on Glimmer, or one that has the other side not fighting back. Notably, Twilight could not grab hold of the Ursa Minor until she had calmed it and only then could she pick it up, and even prone it was a MASSIVE strain on her. Obviously, picking it up when it was still moving wasn't an option, which is why she's never tried it on anything heavy and moving. She literally couldn't even manage a herd of cows during the stampede, and notably both of those examples are wholly non-magical.

We've never seen her do it even once against a skilled magical opponent, or even an unskilled one with considerable power ala Flurry Heart.

Notably, we also don't see anyone else attempting this, implying that it requires vast magic to even stop a regular pony, or it's otherwise breakable/ineffective on the whole/something that's not done for personal reasons. Twilight's greatest achievement with TK hold was the one with the two fighting families, but even they were all earth ponies who could offer no magical resistance or major physical resistance.

With the current evidence, it seems that three things are needed for a successful TK hold or grip, even with vast magical powers of an alicorn.

>1, the subject is considerably weaker magically
>2, the subject is non-magical and not physically strong or heavy
>3, the subject is incapacitated.

For the current argument, none of these would work for Tirek, which is why they were not used in that battle, or Chitania, which is why Celestia was unsuccessful when she attempted to get Chitania out of the city during the rumble.

>>30312070
>once it's cast it's pretty much instantly on the target and nobody's been shown to be able to break out of it.

Pinkie has, actually. Either by shocking Twilight to let her go or just plain popping it.

"Guard"
~~~

>Nothing?

The guard's curt, stern shaking of his head was meant to be reassuring and direct. Whatever it was meant to be, it only brought unease into the warrior changeling.

“There have been no transfers through the portal save for the occasional venture of the Prince and madam Pinkie Pie, your current travel excluded, ma’am. Don’t worry, we’ve kept a sharp eye on it considering the recent events.”

That should have brought her comfort, the guard reasoned. So when her face creased into an unfortunate frown and a deep hum emitted in her throat, his fur began to stand up on end as his chest began to tighten.

“Is something wrong?”

>…Hm? Oh, sorry about that.

It loosened up greatly when she put on a smile, weak as it was.

>I’m just feeling very tired and drifted off for a second there, I didn’t mean to worry you. You said nothing, right?

“Ahem. Yes, and there have been no transfers except the prince or Pinkie Pie.”

>Right, right, that sounds about right…

Her brow creased again, and a whole new worry sprung forth.

“Are you alright?”

>I’m trying to remember where I was going… ah! Right, Twilight, I needed to see her. Thank you, I needed to make sure she was still here. Carry on, soldier.

A worry that turned sour in his chest when she gave a weak, pitiful salute.

“Anytime, ma’am… you’re going to be alright, right?”

The answer given was little more than a weak smile, and the changeling shuffling out of sight.

“Poor mare…”

He couldn’t bare to look at her when she limped away, weak as she ever was. To her, that was just fine.

>…that’s not good.

>Delight
"Griffon Guards"
~~~~

The airship whirs to life, the griffon at its helm fiddling with some dials and whatnot that make up part of the ship's controls.

"...Alright!"

He grips the helm and the ship rises, slowly pulling out of the docking bay towards the city. Delight makes his way over to the ship's railing, taking in a deep breath as the ship pulls into what feels like another world.

Barely having the time and not being in a room that gave him much of a view, Delight hadn't had the chance to look out on Gryphonia during his first landing. The most noteworthy things about the city proper, aside from the multitude of trees and greenery, are the buildings.

Not only do they dot the land in a conventional manner, but many of them sit upon the branches of the larger trees. Smaller than their land dwelling brethren, but still sizeable, these treebound houses appear to be made mostly of wood, their flooring being nothing more than straw that cradles them like a nest would an egg.

Contrasting the treehouses' lighter builds, the buildings dotting the land appear to be made with thicker materials; mostly stone, but many still being made of just a somewhat thicker wood framing. As expected, nearly every roof is dotted with a nest of some sort and some of the builings are even tiered to mimic tree branches.

His eyes drift to the mountains, many more buildings and strutures to be found built and carved into them; so many of considerable size and distance that he figured them to be villages separate from the city proper.

Griffons are scattered about: many flying through the air or walking on the ground as various merchants hawk their wares; others perching on the window sills of their homes; and some simply lazing about in the orange-ish glow of the evening sun.

>(Amazing.)
1/4

>>30316326
Though the sun is setting, soon to be relieved by its smaller brethren and its celestial partner, its glow never seems more majestic than when it begins its dip into the horizon.

The mountain shadows growing stronger and spreading like the wings of an eagle; the tree leaves glowing and swaying with a beautiful hue; the feathers flickering about in the sky, carried on a gentle breeze...

"There it is."

Snapping out of his thoughts, Delight looks to the approaching guard and follows his attention to a tower-like struture in the distance. Upon closer inspection, the structure turns out to be a giant tree, one that towers a good hundred or so feet above its brethren.

>The Perch is that tree?

"Yep."

"One of the few historical sites we got that that freak of nature didn't damage during her bitch fit."

>...? (Oh. That's right...) Hmm.

The guard continues, loosing one of his claws from the helm to gesture towards the structure.

"Took out a lotta the forest over there when she was stomping around, which is why there's still some patches here and there."

>Is that why there's a huge clearing around The Perch?

"Nah. That's something that was done generations ago; gotta keep the area clear so that all a fledgling has to worry about is hitting the ground."

>...And the padded landing mats that say "Land Here For Safty, Sweet Birdy"? Your ancestors did that, too?

"Don't-"

"No! And I'll be the first to tell you-"

"-get him started..."

"-that there wasn't anything wrong with the way things were! In fact, it bred toughness in us fledglings! You climb the perch, you take that dive, you fly or you hit the ground, dust yourself off, and try again! That's how it should be! Not this 'kiss your boo boo better' bubble wrap nonsense. That stuff is for ponies and hatchlings."

Delight smirks.

>Oh?

"Really?"

"...Ah, well, whatever you call littler ponies or whatever. You know what I mean!"
2/4

>>30316331
>(He's... pretty frustrated about this. It's probably better to switch gears...)

>So, I've noticed that the tree doesn't look quite like the others.

"Yeah. Like he said, our ancestors have been working The Perch for generations. This ain't just a tree that a lotta griffons come to jump out of. It's a rite of passage for some of us; that moment you go through when you turn from hatchling to fledgling. Or fledgling to juvie."

The griffon next to Delight points to the lowest 'diving pad' on the tree: a nest-like structure placed on one of the tree's bushier branch points, connecting from the branch itself to where it juts out from the tree.

"A hatchling will climb up the tree, usually to that point, and then jump off to practice their flying."

>And if they hit the ground?

"Eh, the fall doesn't hurt 'em all that much since they're lighter and softer at that age."

"That's what I've been saying!"

"Anyways!"

His claw rises, pointing to a similar structure higher up and situated at a different angle.

"Once they get braver, they climb up there and you see how it's kinda built off to the side?"
3/4

>>30316340

>So that they don't end up bumping into someone jumping off the lower pad?

"Right. The branches were tended so that there's a lot of climbing and a couple resting points. See those gals sitting in that perch there? Or that hatchling and its pa resting there?"

>Mmm. Sounds like a very precious ritual.

"Yeah... It's not really a formal sorta thing, but we got a few rules. Like, you're not supposed to rest on a climbing branch if you're not climbing, and don't go carving stupid shit into the bark or busting things up."

"And no 'nest making'."

The guard lets out a scoffing laugh.

"Heh... And everyone's encouraged to climb The Perch instead of just swooping up to whatever spot you're aiming for. It's not a rule, but something we all kinda understand."

>Does that mean we'll be climbing it?

"Nah. We're gonna be flying higher up. Skydiving ain't much fun at only 400 or so feet. Want at least a couple thousand."

>Oh.

"Unless you wanna climb The Perch."

>Maybe later.

~~~~~

>In the beginning, there was nothing.

‘LIES!’

The princess’s scream was never heard, easily lost as she and her sister drifted in a as loud as it was in sound as it was in color and brightness. Whatever the two siblings had expected when the flames had consumed them had promptly been put to rest, then buried beneath sensations that overwhelmed them as much as it struck them in awe. Colors swirled around them in cascading flowing lights that struck against one another and erupted like bombs going off in front of their eyes, massive balls of fire and light bigger than any planet danced in rings of floating chunks of solid color, before suddenly cracking down the middle and spilling out it’s sparkling innards like an egg of some star beast split open. Dots resembling a starry night in thousands upon thousands of shifting and changing color dashed into one another in seemingly suicidal dances of gruesome battle or passionate love, and neither set of awestricken eyes could tell the difference which. They floated in an endless plain that would have been impossible to fit within their own universe, let alone the small room they’d stood a mere instant ago, unable to do anything but float in the breathless vacuum of majestic color and power that clashed all around them, never ending as they witnessed the very first beginnings of something forming before them, only to watch as it fell apart in destruction.

>At the start of it all, there was much there… but there was nothing.

A set of eyes appeared before them, burning far less brightly than anything around it could bring with ease.

>I think.

1/?

>>30317862

“You think!?”

Without shoulders, there held no frame of reference to know if it was true, but somehow, the eldest princess knew the fiery being had shrugged.

>I was here for this part, but I wasn’t here yet.

Both sisters grew angry, flapping their wings in useless bursts to try to reach closer to the creature before them, only to fail as the eyes both grew closer but seemed to move away.

‘Stop speaking in doublespeak and riddles at once!’

“Agreed! I’m normally alright with the vague words, but for once we need to cut to the fat of this immediately! We have to know!”

>You are angry, this is unfortunate. Doublespeak is not interesting, I would not do it.

‘Then what do you mean!?’

>Exactly what I said, I was here, but I hadn’t arrived yet.

The fury on both of the sisters would go down as a legend.

>I’m not sure how else to explain it. I was a part of… this.

The eyes shifted, looking off to the side and angling in such a way as to point with the very corner of it’s gaze. They followed, trailing across endless creations and destructions of sight sound and impressions in their mind, until they came to nothing. Truly nothing, for once.

>This was the other part of the nothing, I think.

An endless black void, seemingly disconnected so perfectly split while intermingled, unable to see where it ended or the chaos around them began.

>It was all nothing, but that was my nothing. Mine, and my siblings.

They tried to turn back, only to find as they turned that the nothing they had seen followed them and spread across the vast distances they could not begin to comprehend, only glimpse with the eyes that strained to keep looking. The darkness, or instead the empty void, stretched out into the colors, muting them, taking them, before giving them back and moving away.

2/?

>>30317872

>Both of us, were nothing. We were the nothing that held nothing in it, the nothing that was empty. That was the nothing that was full. Neither had any meaning, or mind, or creation. Everything was as it was, nothing more, I think.

“You… think?”

Her breathless wonder must have reached him, from the ways his eyes turned upwards, she swore the being smiled.

>I wasn’t here yet.

‘Then… what happened? Why is there something now?’

Those burning eyes looked out into the world with a burning and distant gaze, clenching as if straining to recall something inside of their mind.

>It all changed when there was… something.

They followed him, watching as the colors and the shapes suddenly began to rapidly change, things without purpose and without form suddenly became rigid and hard, and everything that was formless and without purpose began to slow.

“What was it?”

>… a voice in the nothing that called out, and said to that nothing…

In an instant, there was light.

>I am.

An infinite number of things happened all at once. Colors that had shifted without stalling suddenly hardened, becoming a solid mass in the sky. Bright lights that wisped and bled through the ether in single lines became long stretches that reached out in perfect lines along the endless expanse. Supernovas blinded both with a brilliance unmatched as countless eruptions of things joined together in a discordant harmony that no longer cast away, only brought together in a perfect fusion of sight and lingering voices in their mind. What had been things without a being turned to something much more, what could have moved without touching suddenly collided with solid forms, what had been nothing became something.

3/?

>>30317884

>We do not know what it was, where it had come from, what had created it, how it could be created, or why. Perhaps it had spawn from chaos so abhorrent even it could not understand it, and created order. Perhaps it was not a being of this universe, but another who had found it and called it home. Perhaps it was a glimpse of something higher still who had looked down and found itself wanting. I do not know, I would never learn even after I arrived, all we knew was that by the time we had seen it, it was too late. For from that nothing came that voice, from that nothing came something, and it took the nothing away. It took away that nothing, and created from it… so many things.

For an instant, there was nothing but darkness. In an instant more, there was nothing but light. A thousand planets and stars shooting across the blank void, lighting it up with speaks that hung in place, fit into designs so perfect it seemed it was always meant to be, turned the endless darkness into a beautiful creation.

>…it disgusted me.

In that endless expanse between the stars, something stirred.

>It turned what had been a perfect whole into so many little things, it brought colors that did not stay to their nothing, but bled into our nothing and created within it. It brought… names.

The being of fire glared into those stars, as something within them began to take shape.

4/?

>>30317894

>Names, order, creation, harmony. Call them what you will. They were the means to take the endless vastness and form it, shape it, make something from it where there had been nothing. What had been little more than a mixture of a thousand mingling of spontaneity turned to interwoven threads of creation. It harmonized them, and gave them a voice. It disgusted us, as we were. For we were not in that which it had created, we were beyond it, beyond all, or so we had thought without the mind to think it. All of this disgusted us, for things to create, they must be still, they must work, they must build and continue to build, this was not as things should be.

Something grand, massive beyond what even those burning eyes could see, beyond what any could see even eons away. A shape, one that brought tears to their eyes to witness, outlined in the radiance of countless nova’s that made up the outline of it’s being, the intensity of infinite stars that lived and burned within that all encompassing center, the shape so alien yet familiar.

>It had defied the will of the nothing, and created.

A shape so very like a pony, and so very much more.

>As one, we struck.

Everything went to black.

“What…what happened?”

Endless, empty, void black that took the very breath from the awestricken sisters.

‘Thou could not have been victorious… could thee?’

>No… we didn’t.

“Then what is this place?”

>This is all that’s left of countless battles across countless galaxies and universes, though time itself as it was born, and so much more. When it happened, we were whole, we were one. I do not recall any of it. Those memories were not mine to hold. For eons, or moments, to us it mattered little, we battled. Then… came the ending.

5/?

>>30317905

The world bleed away, falling like rivers of ink off of a window to reveal with perfect clarity what lied on the other side. An unscarred, empty grassfield plain, a wonderland with nothing but untouched beauty living in it. In the center of it all, there was darkness, surrounded on all sides by the glow of a warm and caring sun.

>It all ended here… on the planet you call home.

“…what happened here?”

That darkness bled, stretching out over the plain, four perfect streams sapping from the combined center, reducing what had once been whole into something much less on every side. When the last drop had been taken, four pools remained.

>This is where I came to be. In the final battle, after all of our efforts to take away creation and return everything to the state as it had been before, it had done the impossible. It had taken the one, the whole, the nothing… and split it.

With the pools of nothing stagnant, something approached, yet before it could arrive to take it’s place above them, the sun vanished from the sky, leaving the world in shadow and silence.

>It had won.

Then came the laughter.

>That being which had held us back for so long, against our every effort to destroy it, rejoiced. It danced and played with it’s silly little mind, enjoying us as if we were mere playthings, not those who sought to return it to nothing. In that moment, with our whole split apart, our every effort vanquished, it did the unthinkable.

That melodious, harmonic, perfect laughter suddenly stopped, and out came something else. Words, in a tongue too complex and wonderful to ever understand, formed.

>It had taken the nothing… and given them names.

In the darkness, they could only see the barest edges of those pools begin to form. What had been shapeless changed, in a manner as beautiful as it was blasphemous.

6/?

>>30317929

>Names that have been lost to time, names I no longer recognize or hold… but the damage had been done. We, who were whole, had become four.

Four shapes in the darkness that wailed in a sound that pierced their ears, made them recoil in horror as it sank into their minds and twisted everything they thought they knew into something abhorrent, made them want to flee, hide, cry. But there was nowhere to flee, they could not run, and nothing in the landscape would hide them.

>It was the very first time a mistake had ever been made.

Then came the screams.

>For when we were whole, when we were nothing, we’d never been able to affect this place it had created. We had been beyond it, a thing so different that we could not touch a single piece of it’s expanse, anymore than you could hold a single molecule on the tip of your hoof. Our battles so grand had not shifted a single grain of sand on the smallest of planets in the sky. We had no mind of our own, only a singular desire to see that which had been created undone, no thoughts, no memories, only a drive that held no questioning and no concept of any save that singular goal. When we took shape… all of that changed.

Loud, screeching, unholy screams that made the grand sisters feel as if they were fillies, staring down the maw of an unspeakable beast they could not evade, feeling the drip of the fangs upon their faces and stricken with the knowledge of their impending demise.

>With the voice of that being, all had known creation. With our formation… it knew destruction.

The princesses could not look away when those shapes that brought them such horror finally charged.

>Before, it had toyed with us, played with us while laughing in fancy, it had treated our attacks with curiosity and interest. Now… it had a name of it’s own. Now, it saw what we were capable of. knew fear.

In an instant, the world became fire.

7/?

>>30317945

>The final battle, the one true battle of our war, showed a worrying truth to us. How, is a mystery even to ourselves. We do not know what changed for it, as well as us. Perhaps the previous battles had at last worn into the seemingly endless fountain of power, perhaps with our splitting it had done something so abhorrent it could no longer hold it’s mind to the same whimsy that had allowed it unmatched power, perhaps at last it’s time had run out, and it had become something so much less than what it had been. I do not know. All I knew is that as we had become less, it had become less as well.

In that fire, there were screams.

>We battled truly for once, tearing the mountains to ash, reshaping the very core of the planet with a single blow! We tore across the plain, wiping clean species grand and small in our attempt to hurt it, make it rage as we undid it’s creation, and rage it did! With our boundless power, none could stand before us, none could stop as we undid the disgusting stains upon our nothing, we as the four had minds at last, the ability to think, reason, a body that could destroy the mountains in our path with it’s presence alone, a power that could at last burn away the specks in the sight of eyes that could at last truly see! We turned to it in it’s rage, its sorrow and it’s hate at what we had done, and at last, we battled, truly battled. It, against the four of us. They, Control, Concious, Desire, and I… POWER.

In an instant, with his booming cry, it pushed them and all their defenses away.

>We were defeated, obviously.

They nearly collapsed in disbelief when he spoke again, as casual as if he was discussing the weather.

‘WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!?’

The world turned to darkness once more. Sheer black, except for one single spot.

>Simple… we were defeated, but it was not a flawless victory.

A spot of red.

>It... she… was wounded.

8/?

>>30317957

The weight of that change nearly pushed them to the ground and crushed them with the implications of it.

>She… for then, we knew it a she, knew what it was to be hurt, to be damaged… to possibly die. She, who had been beyond, knew what it was to end one day.

“How… how can you be certain?”

Finally, for the first time in what felt like an eternity, those eyes turned back to the pair.

>I was the one to strike that final blow. That is why I was punished beyond the others, that is why I was tormented. I, the last to battle her, was the one to wound her with my final blow.

‘…Then…‘

Everything, the darkness, the light, even the drop of red vanished, and left only the flames that had consumed them, and two sad eyes.

>…she saw what she had done. She saw those that had been wiped out in our battle, entire species that would have brought you wonder, yet never were seen again, those she herself had stricken from the world and taken away forever, unable to repair their physical forms enough even to return their souls, she saw what a single act of hers, even in defense, had wrought. I do not know what she thought of it, I do not understand her mind. I saw only a glimpse of that before she sent me away, and departed from this plain. But when I glimpsed it the first time, I did not understand it, I did not know why she felt as she did. Now… I think I do. That is what makes me fear.

Those sad eyes looked to the princesses, and shook it’s unseen head.

9/??

>>30317966

>Princesses… I tell you this not to let you know of any past, but so that you may understand. If indeed she has retuned, in one form or another. If indeed that wound I gave opened a way for her to return, it can only mean one thing. She is coming back… to end it all. She has begun to call back the souls of her creations into her, to take them away before she wipes reality and all with it clean. She will find me, and my siblings, and either take us into herself so she may recreate us, and bring horror as what should not be forms a whole that reality cannot handle, or she will wipe us clean and all we have ever touched to remove the last traces of what was, and with it the reality we've been in so long.. this reality will be cleansed.

Neither could speak, neither could breath, as the implications sank in.

>If she is held, as you claimed… it will not be for long. That part will wake up, and when it does it will not cease until all are brought back to it. Nothing will stand in it’s way.

‘What can we do to stop it!?’

The cry of the desperate younger princess was one of fear, and anguish.

‘She would not do this to us, she loves us! Surely there must be some way to stop this, surely!’

Her older sister moved beside her, wrapping her slender neck around the smaller and shaking frame, holding her and trying not to let her feel her own shakes as they both realized the end of the world had come.

>Sure there is!

Both again nearly fell.

“WHAT!?”

10/11

>>30317977

>What? If it’s being held then it might not even be here, this was just a theory. You’d have to actually see it trying to wipe out the world, maybe it’s just trying really hard to get back to that higher plain or this is all one big misunderstanding. Or maybe it’s not sealed, maybe it’s dead and just glows really brightly and has remains of magic. Or maybe even it has no mind and no thoughts, and even if it got out it would just fall uselessly to the side, but the one who sealed it wanted to keep it from expanding. I don’t know, I’ve never dealt with the remains of a being like that before. If it’s been dormant all this time, maybe there’s a way t put it back to sleep. Or if push comes to shove, If I made her bleed at some point, we can do it again, but more!... Well, not me, obviously. But in general. There is bleedable ability is what I’m saying. Is that a word? It should be a word.

Shaken from their trance, either by their annoyance or the sheer need to have hope in their hearts, they looked to him once more.

“You’re right… you’re absolutely right, we don’t know for sure yet, we need to know more before we do anything. You’re right… but this felt so much like her. We need to prepare, we need to know. You said you hurt her before… does that mean your siblings can once again? Is there a way that if it gets loose… we can stop it? If it is her… can we save all she’s taken?”

11/12whoops

>>30317985

For a long time, the eyes only stared, no words formed on flaming lips, and nothing said. Silently, the flames began to roll back into itself, revealing at last the room they knew they’d been in the whole time, until it all returned from whence it came inside of the containment tube that was all that kept the being from fading away.

>I don’t know… but if you can find them, then perhaps… we can try? If something as awful as myself could turn everything around… is there not a chance? Maybe, just maybe, we will not need to wound it. Perhaps, if we can hold it, stop it, speak to it and show it all is well…

Something finally stirred inside of them.

‘We can save everyone.’

Something real, and something wonderful.

>The first step… we must find those that have been lost!

A brand new adventure had begun, and if it stretched to heaven itself and beyond, they would see it through.

> Hope… this pleases me!

All of them, together.

WHEW! Finally done, and the journey to find the other parts of that battle to hopefully stop Faustmom's Blood Gone Wild can begin!

BIG BIG BIG thanks to KKA who as you can probably guess had to help me rewrite a lot of this due to my writing being a little on the shit side, he did above and beyond fixing it and I thank him. It's not exactly what Kid Kuddler wanted, but there were certain things I wanted to change and he helped me with that. Sorry it took so long, but this one needed to be done right. Also sorry for the weird cropping on part 11. But who cares! WE CAN FINALLY GET THEM OUT!

>>30317995
FINNNALLLLYYYYYY

>>30317995
I guess today is officially Lore Day.

>>30317957
>It, against the four of us. They, Control, Concious, Desire, and I… POWER.

Okay, so

>Red-Control, he mind controlled everyone on the island and wanted to control Pommel, and he controlled the souls he kept for his own personal use.

>Hydra-Concious obviously she's a mind in a book, is good at keeping the conscious if not the body which is what she did to skelebro, and she gave consciousness to Lavan's power.

>???-Desire... Shining Armor turns out to be a hidden godbeing this whole time?

>>30318055
Mother of god...

>>30317995
>Solving it through talking

I kinda dig it!

>>30318055
I would die laughing if this whole time Shiny was immortal and a being of pure lusty desire and nobody knew, including him.

He still can't grow wings.

>>30317995
Worldtrek? Please!

>>30317995
FUCKIINNG FINALLY

>>30318149
Right!?

>>30318055
>Shining
I hope not.

>>30318055
Wait… What if it's the OG changeling?

>>30318377
Making them the offshoot of one of the greatest evils of the universe would be a little bit on the nose, don't you think? I mean we were even trying to imply that just them looking bad wasn't intentional, it's just how they work, now that there was something Inherently wrong with them

>>30318389
Now I want a complete subversion. Like there IS a species that came from this great evil, but it turns out to be completely innocuous, like buffalo or some shit.

>>30318526
NO!

The breezies.

>>30318589
FUND IT

>>30317995
>Faustmom only gained mortal traits when she made a mistake

DEEPEST
LORE

>>30318843
More than that, she only gained back the power to win after she realized violence wasn't the answer.

AJ confirmed god.

LNPP! Can you give a heads up when it is OK to wake up Spike, I have a joke I'm dying to use on that one

You did very well.

Thank you.

>>30319292
Thanks Kuddler! Like I said, tried to keep most of the base idea, but wanted to change certain things. Hope it wasn't too betrayee.

>>30319300
Pffht. Honestly?

Some thing were cliché, like the 'in the beginning there was nothing, then there was light' and the suaters felt a bit... off. KKA kimda warmed me about that. The problem was, I had a lot of ideas and mental pictures I wanted to invoke, but none of the phrases I wrote did what I WANTED justice, making me more and more frustrated to the point of defeatism.

But you put it all together nicely, wrapped it up in a sensible manner while establishing exactly as much lore as we wanted to without spoiling too much. You made me realize that wanting create absolute perfection is an unrealistoc goal. So, if anything, *I* should apologize for leaving you with this immense task, with absolutely nothing to go by, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it so satisfyingly conclusive.

In short, I'm so very happy you finished this milestone, and I can't wait for it all to pick up speed from here on out.

Heheh, let's see how the 'WHERE WERE YOU ALL THIS TIME?!' thing pans out.

>>30319378
>So, if anything, *I* should apologize for leaving you with this immense task, wi

Don't even mention it, we all have our problem moments.

Adventure ho!

>>30319007

Night mentlegen

night /pa/l

>>30319268
I don't know yet. There's been a minor delay in that yesterday I hit an inch high ledge on the sidewalk at full speed with my scooter and fell off hitting the pavement. I don't think I need a doctor, but I may have sprained my wrist because it hurts whenever I rest it on my keyboard, so can't use my left hand to type yet. Might be unrelated but the next day I had trouble lifting my right arm because I felt a sharp pain running down from my shoulder to my index finger, so currently can't left click. My thumbs seem to be fine though. If worst comes to worst I may have to write via phone. It's incredibly obnoxious and I don't wish anyone writing stories by phone.

>>30320607
It is night no longer

>>30321076
It is where I am! ha ha! It won't be morning for another 2 and change hours.

Note to self, never, ever, ever try to write anything that has more than one or two characters talking

The pitted sand was disturbed with a sudden whump as a bedraggled cyan form crashed into it. Rainbow Dash raised her weary head, afraid at what she saw.

“The…hell?”

The ground around was all torn up, if there was any vegetation meant to be here, it was all gone now. She looked for any sign of life, nothing, no plants, no ponies, no Applejack

Grunting, Rainbow Dash picked herself from the shore, slumping forward with her hooves and crossing onto the, what could now be described as “plain” of the island.
“Nothing…?”

She walked around, there wasn’t much to look out, just bits and pieces of dead wood and mulch, a mountain in the distance, that was it.

But she had to be here

She had heard Chitania

But why?

Wasn’t she dead? Did AJ fight her? Did she win? Did AJ finally take Chitania out? Or did… It was too
horrible to bear.

A second puft of sand sounded behind her, Rarity had arrived, having fallen face first into the sand.

“Rarity? You actually made it?”

>…Mmf

Rarity picked herself up from the sand, her face a wind, rain and sand swept mess

“Huh, I didn’t think you’d get here… I mean- Not that you couldn’t fly but-“

>I know, darling… I just caught the last of the storm… wasn’t pleasant

Dash helped her up, trotting them both over to flatter ground. The only thing breaking the view was the very, veeeery large tree that rose above the clouds themselves.

“That is…”

>…Worrying

“I can’t see AJ anywhere, I can’t see Chitania either…”

>I don’t…I don’t want to think about it, she can’t be alive, AJ can’t stop her, if all of that… horrible stuff Pennydrop did to her wasn’t enough then I don’t know how…

“She must’ve done something, something way different than anyone thought she could”

>Maybe, but, I just don’t know…”

1/2

>>30321307
They could only stare at the gargantuan tree, no sign of any life aside from themselves, and it.

>…Could she be…?

“Up there?”

They didn’t answer their own questions, they simply spread their already aching wings, and uneasily flew up.

They began to ascend the bark, seeing how scores and wear was writ large in the wood, they were just touching the first scraggly branches when they thought they could see light between the twigs.

Then something big crashed into them

>GEHH!

“AAGH!”

~WUAAH!~

The descent was sudden, confusing, and unexpected, so was the landing

“Urrgh, Rarity? Is there a tree branch sticking out of my ear?”

But all of that was forgotten as two dazed eyes took up from the ground, up to the mishappen orange lump ahead of them

~Ohhh, girl, y’all went and bunrt yerself out didja-~

>”APPLEJACK!”

Two pairs of hooves crushed around Applejack, making her sentence cut short before she could even acknowledge the girls hugging her.

~HURK~

>You’re okay you’re okay you’re okay you’re okay you’re okay you’re okaaaaaaaaay

“YOU DID IT! YOU ACTUALLY BEAT HER! YOU’RE ALIVE! SHE’S NOT! YOU’RE HERE! SHE’S NOT!

That kind of noise went on for a while, Applejack struggling to get a word in, let alone a breath.

It was just as well, as there was too much to talk about, too much to tell them

2/2

right i aint writing for this thread anymore, the fact that I spent around two days to write a scant few lines with lots of blank staring at the screen, really fucking shows this aint my kinda thing

take the wheel, you'd do a piss better job than me

Okay, no.

I'm not a writer, I can't speak for them, but don't do it. Do NOT take on another one of these. This isn't vital to AJ's character and it's not something we couldn't fill in later, do NOT add this to the list of shit you have to do, we do not need to see them talk for AJ. Instead of picking up yet another broken line, just let it drop. He doesn't want to write it, just let it lie. We know you have other stuff you want to write, do THAT.

We waited long enough, gave plenty of time to back out if needed, just move on. If he wants to abort it, abort it! AJ was obviously going to tell everyone else, just imply what happened there, this is not worth freezing the story for again. Offscreen all of this.

You guys are great, way more kind and you need to be, but please don't. Let it die.

Blue balling bastard.

KKA tried to give me direction, tried to nurture the characterisation of Dash and Rarity, AJ's reasoning, all of it. And I completely lubbed all of it.

i'm sorry, bit off way more than I can chew, which it turns out is next to nothing

Story of every attempt I've ever made at that pairing in thread.

But seriously, if it's not fun for you, don't push yourself, it's not something to work at until it's a chore.

But you did great with the surgery! It was interesting and unique and had great magic and didn't skip out on any detail, it was a damn fine job and still one of the better recent pieces. You CAN do it! But if you're not up for it, just let it drop, we'll understand.
