Sweet! Changelings in my area!
Great chapter, I can't wait for this new arc(or at least that's what it looks like) to unfold!
4118551
It is a new arc.
4118558 Sweet.
I'm betting that the new gatekeeper is linked to King Sombra. It seems to me that gatekeepers connect to people with similar personalities, and this makes me almost sure of it, because warning someone that relies on stealth and secrecy for their main defense that you're going to attack them is a very proud and very stupid thing to do.
I also really hope that next chapter will have an interlude where Celestia learns about what her little sister has been teaching Selene, 'cause that would be hilarious. Though I'm worried that incident might get in the way if Rex goes to the princesses to learn more about his new enemy.
Savannnah, Athens AND Atlanta?
You after my family Wille?
i was kinda hoping to see twilights reactions to celestias books but maybe she hasnt read them yet and awww damn king sombra is here
I don't know weather to feel bad for, or laugh at the human who's gonna be linked to a breezy.
If there will be one that is.

Searh your feelings. You know it to be true.
4118813
Wow, really? No, I just picked those cities based on population...
4118891
Maybe..... ()
4119029 Please don't tell me that there's going to be a Philosopher's Stone...

I had never planned for there to be a breezy gatekeeper. I think that the breezy portal leads to another world (they enter through a cave, exit six inches later to an open, orange sky). Therefore, breezies are aliens and are not applicable to becoming gatekeepers.
4119040
Uhhh... that was my headcanon on what the gem in alicorn amulet actually was...
And the amulet will make an appearance at some point.
4119043 And I never expected you to actually give it any thought... Props bro.
4119027
Then again, The state capitol, the city that houses UGA, and the one of the biggest shipping cities on the east coast make sense if you start to take over Georgia.
We finally got some real expansion! WOOHOO!
So is Sombra gonna be something close to a rivaling monarch for the rest of the story or just gonna have a small arch?
I just realized, the reason this new guy knows so much about Rex is probably because of Catherine and all the information she put on the Internet. Photoshop and Internet trolling may have prevented normal people from realizing the truth, but most gatekeepers would know better. Of course, since Rex had managed to keep himself mostly secret until then, I wonder just how 'new' this King Umbra is. He might have become a gatekeeper around the same time as Rex, or maybe even before...
SOMBRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4119055 Funny. I actualy had the samw theory about the Alicorn Amulet.
Another theory was that the Alicorn Amulet is actually the Power Gem from the Infinity Gauntlet.
4119278
Is that a good or bad thing?
Well of course Sombra's Rune- and Spellcasting would be considered old, he was trapped in ice for like, a thousand years. Silly Rex.
4119234 Rex is actually the first one, so the Umbra/Sombra combo is very new. Would he nice if wille can confirm this though.
If umbra is not wearing a sombrero I will be displeased. Because you know sombra - sombrero :3
4119431
I always thought the gem in the amulet was of extra-planar origin and retained a link to its plane of origin through which the user can channel the near limitless power of that realm which would explain the change in magic color, because the unicorn using it only opens the link and shapes the magic that comes through while the only limit was how much he/she could handle at once.
Gotta say that makes me think of Sombra. Ancient runes, king title, shadow name? That just screams Sombra to me.
everyone is saying sombra but i dont see anything that even remotely hints towards sombra. yes yes i know umbra means "darkest shadow" and all that but nothing says sombra. what if its celestias counter part? an american male with celesitas powers would be far more willing to do horrible things to keep the peace, just like old celestia did, would explain why the dude was covered in runes most likely designed to only give the information that they wanted out and everything else in. anyway its gonna be neat to see which alliances are broken and formed from this.
Excellent chapter as always, I must admit I do like how Rex isn't all goody goody, but he isn't an awful
personchangeling either. I do look forward to seeing the Praetorians fight in the future. Anyways can't wait for the next chapter!That was a Great chapter. Keep up the good work you are doing.

King Sombrero, at your service. (Click here for a new story!)
4124731
already read it! now i feel silly for my post.
4124772
Actually, you posted that comment before G:PoD was posted. Even though it was already in progress, you couldn't have known.
Something i noticed is that, in the gatekeeper bond, the exchange/fusion/whatevs that gives rex and selene their powers and transformations, only gave Luna and Chrysalis the sight of another color, and a taste for meat.
But it made Catherine and Gilda both transform to fit the other end of the bond.
Does it mean that, the gate keepers influence on one another works like thermal balance?
Luna's a 'deity' and Chrysalis a 'chaos being', having a lot of 'power', so when bonded to a normal human, the human has his/her appereance changed, in adition to the magic and abilities, while they,luna and chrys, get almost no change.
Meanwile a 'common being' i.e. Gilda went trough body transformation as well as Catherine.
If it works like so, how much changed would Umbra be? Sombra's not a normal unicorn.
And while we are on it does sombra gets a body,as apart of the transformation?
4125291
That's pretty much how I imagined it. However, I'm not too sure how much Sombra has changed. InfiniteBrony is the one working on Sombra, so I'll have to discuss it with him. However, for now, Sombra is an amorphous blob of shadow buried in the frozen north.
4119483 Eh... little a both. Sombra is clearly the weakest villain in terms of character in the show so he usualy gets shoehorned into the 'cliche villain' roll in fanfiction. I peronally am a fan of redemption arks so it sucks seeing such a template constantly wiped to the side.
Its good because you might do something creative with him.
My original post was a harken back to the Star Trek episode, "The Wrath Of Khan".
Well this was interesting, you can thank InfiniteBrony's story for me coming here.
I noticed in one of your authors notes you wanted cover art, if you still do I might be be able to try depending on what you want. Alternatively I could do something like this or this for one of your charterers.
4132031
I've already got someone working on it, but I'll keep you in mind.
4132382 Good luck with that, hope it turns out well and you are sure you don't want a portrait of anyone?
4132398
Well, if you're offering, then a drawing of Rex would be cool. I've got the cover art under control, but character art would be nice. So yes, thank you.
4132427 Where would be the best place to find a description of him? Or if you were feeling kind could you describe how you want him to look?
4132442
Here's a rough sketch I did a while ago:

That didn't show up right. [url=wille179.deviantart.com/art/Rex-425636107]Go here.
4132486 I shall give it a try upon my waking
One thing I know about what may happen in the future of this: you can't have a gatekeeper without a key-master
4138335
It's not actually a sequel. Prince of Darkness was written by InfiniteBrony as a companion story to my own. Both are ongoing and have plots occurring at the same time.
Why do I read so much in such a short time? I'm waiting for a great story to continue. Again.
Don't let my somber mood drag you down, in fact, keep it up and stay awesome!
So far I like the story for it's something new. There are a few 'pony to earth' story and quit a lot of 'human in Equestria' storys but somthing like this I've never seen before. The little catch that the gatekeepers can't use portals themselves is really neat.
