Steel Hoof

In the Royal Canterlot Archives, every scrap of Equestrian history is recorded, often with artifacts present as evidence. There are grimoirs and cookbooks, and there are swords and ploughshares. Many items are harmless (provided one is not allergic to dust mites), but those that are remain under lock and key. The first diarchy saw the creation of masterworks of stone, steel, and magic. The Royal Everfree Archaeologists unearthed countless powerful sources of magic from ages past. Some magic is older still.

Whoa. deep for a short story

this......was surprisingly good. tried it out of curiosity and as with most good shorts i am left with not only a sense of awe at the description but wanting to know more. at the same time i also feel more would cheapen it. it leaves so much to wonder about.
impressive.

Well done. The depth is incredible, and it leaves so much to the imagination to wonder about...

Hmm. Very nice. I like how nothing is fully explained but still clear enough for the readers to work out for themselves. The only things I would say in critique is that a few of your sentences were just long enough for me to becomes lost in them. Still, nicely done.

That was good. Much more than what I would have expected from a short story. If it were to be bigger, then the captivating-ness would be lost,but it leaves the reader longing for more. Have a follow, good sir.

Thanks for reading and thanks for the advice! I tried to write as implicitly as possible, but nuance is easy to lose when you befuddle the reader.
