'Tis a beautiful thing, this chapter.

Jesus... this is fucking incredible... :rainbowderp:
You, good Sir, know how to weave a dark tale, and make it a masterpiece! :pinkiehappy:

3473804 I knew you'd like it :trollestia:

But masterpiece? I don't think so :twilightsheepish:

I'm gonna post a comment here just cuz my brother wants everyone to say something so now I'm saying....Write more! :pinkiecrazy:

Well, this got intense. I wonder if it was actually Twilight he saw in his last moments or if she was just a hallucination brought on by lack of oxygen.
That said, I'm looking forward to the inevitable confrontation between the siblings.

3479522 Glad you're still enjoying it :yay: I'm constantly worried of loosing readers if they think the story goes too far.. since I'm not holding anything back anymore :facehoof:


Oh, and to you and everyone else that actually enjoys this.. sorry for taking so long with this chapter. I've had to deal with a lot of shit in my life lately, but now I'm back. Sort of :twilightsheepish:

3200063YES LET FEAR AND ANGER TAKE HOLD HAHAHAHAHA

Wow... just from the description, I think I ended up writing my own 'Crow'. Just, not ultimately depressive... but yeah.

Interesting. Should give this a read...

4274499 Unfortunately I haven't been able to update this story in a long, long time.. Guess I'm kinda stuck in a part that's difficult for me to write, but, oh well.

And I have it on good authority that depressive stuff is my specialty :pinkiecrazy:

Indeed it is. Though your Crow is vengeful, angry and insane, mine is just kind of... happy-go-lucky?

Erm... lessee actually...

A happy-go-lucky God of Death mass murdering vindictive venomous sarcastic dark-humored crazy cold emotionless scythe-wielding madman.

...Iiii think he might be the first God of Death in writing who was a mass murderer in life...

Also, to speak on your place in the story, it actually sounds pretty clear.

Shining goes to location.
Shining runs into baddies.
Shining kills baddies.
Shining possibly saves ponies.
Shining gets info on next target from Raven before next crucifixion.

Overall, loving the story. And unlike me and my Crow, you've got a really easy path to follow in front of you, with loads to do on that path.

4274875 You have NO clue how much I dispise Flash Sentry!:trixieshiftright:

4275035 It may seem easy, but believe me.. there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. Things that not even Shining could ever foresee.. Things that I'm honestly not.. really looking forward to writing.
Anyway, I need to get some sleep now, but I hope you'll take a look at the rest of my stories, since you liked this one so much.

Oh, and thank you so much for following me :twilightsmile:

It was a foregone conclusion, that follow. You're a mighty fine writer, and I've always, always had a thing for vengeance stories. Even if redemption is out of Shining's grasp, it does my heart good to see the villains get their just desserts.

I have no clue how anyone could hate him so much, seriously. Fella looks kinda neat in my opinion. Just need to figure out a good way to use him as a character, and he'd get added to my standing cast.

4275157 I shall do my best to not disappoint you or anyone else with the rest of this story. Just takes a bit more time since I'm working a lot on Black Dawn at the moment :twilightsheepish:

No worries, I understand that some stories take priority over others.

Another thing is, after reading this story, I understand where your avatar comes from now. Nice artwork.

4278132 Yeah, my sister made the original drawing and a friend of mine digitized it

4278161

Kickass. Kudos to your sister and friend.

Always nice to see a crossover with the The Crow, its such an interesting series.

On that note..

It can't rain all the time.

4916958 Is there any more? I haven't seen a single one besides this one :rainbowderp:

4917000

More of what? The crow films, graphic novels or something else?

4917263 Sorry, I meant more Crow crossovers, here, on this site :twilightsheepish:

So, when can we expect to see the next chapter, just out of curiousity?

5058410 Honestly, I have no idea. I'm stuck with the damn thing. Also, I'm spending all of my writing time finishing Black Dawn, but I will come back to this story, and it is far from over

Great fic.

8163055 Why thank you! Be sure to check out my other stories too if they interest you :twilightsmile:

I do hope this becomes uncancelled one day, or perhaps finds someone to continue it on. A very well written story ^^

Thanks for your kind words :twilightsmile:

As glad as it makes me hearing someone likes my work, I'm afraid I have to dissapoint you. I won't be finishing this fic, or any of my others, as I'm currently devoting all my writing time to what I hope becomes my first book -- A Swedish fantasy novel called Hirdmannen
