Hi!

After finding out that she's been cursed with the Darksign, Applejack finds herself on a journey to make sense of it all, and find some way of getting back to her friends.

I take no credit for the cover art.

Caution: Some spoilers for Dark Souls are present

Chapters (10)

Not bad, I'm going to see how this goes.

3120567 Thanks, I was actually writers blocked for a while, and this helped me break it. This was kind of a test chapter, to see how well it was received before I did any more

Cool story!:ajsmug:
Also, what made you choose AJ?:applejackunsure:

I have not read it yet, However I am most likely gonna Favorite it.
Why? I cannot wait for AJ to get back to Equestria, walk up to Celestia, and shout "PRAISE THE SUN!" at the top of her lungs, dramatically! :ajsmug:

3121884 Pinkie: Too RAndom, would beat everything easy
Twilight: Too much magic, would kill everything easy
Rainbow: eh...
Rarity: To ladylike, wouldn't get through the asylum
Fluttershy: Too scared, would stay cowering in the cell, or fly away
Aj: Strong, stubborn, perfect!

3122319 :rainbowlaugh: That's totally going in now

Is Big Mac Gwyns firstborn? :pinkiegasp:

tis a damn penis.
Too fast paced.

3127460 I apologize for that, but that's just how my style is.

I was right to fav this early.

Really interesting. I felt a bit weary when I noticed just how close to the game you were sticking, but so far you've made it interesting.

Have a fav and a up-vote.

3743686 It's going to be pretty close to the game for the beginning, since it's just training up until the first bell.
Thanks for the fav though.

Well this is a blast from the past...

She's dealing with all this very well, nothing fazes this mare

Read through all three chapters, and while the premise of Applejack being struck by good old Darksign syndrome is neat, sending her on the same path as the game just feels like a glorified walkthrough. Meaning, you're not throwing anything new in here, just giving a written Dark Souls run with an orange pastel horse pony. Rewriting Dark Souls just gives players a nod back to the game, but writing a whole new plot with it would be surprising and unpredictable, and is far less restrained to the Dark Souls plot (although you're still restrained to the canon).

Also, an explanation might be due later as to why the Darksign chose Applejack in particular, I can agree with her being stubborn and strong, but there must be SOME reason why it's striking her first (and why Luna felt the need to send her to the Asylum besides the undead just being harmful, she's still Applejack)!

Overall, I'd have to say that the content and premise of Chapter 1 is all very exciting, but you may find it far more delightful to craft your own story with the intriguing mix of MLP and Dark Souls.

4207147 Well, I wanted to start with something familiar for readers familiar with darksouls and for those who aren't something to establish the story

3751309 Did it faze you? (Yes, it did) NO ONE ASKED YOU!

nice story and im interested so one thing i gotta say....MOAR CHAPTERS NOW:flutterrage:....um please:fluttershbad:

oh what is AJ's stats and will she learn Miracles?

if so then i guess Twilight will freak out a bit seeing her friend doing magic

4887099 It is now being continued, but not by me. I just did not have the drive or time to write anymore of this.

Hi every Pony! I've got a few ideas and possible plot twists for this one! If anyone has any suggestions, I'm completely open for it, since this is my first time writing a story here :twilightsmile:

yay an update

wierd it didnt give me a notice since i faved this story.

Good to see this isn't dead. :twilightsmile:

Not so much to add about the chapter itself, but nice to see life-signs.

Good to see this story is till alive though

wasn't expectin another one of these coming out, this makes Unread chapter 145, damn I got a lot to read after Christmas....:applejackunsure:

This is an interesting direction. I like it.

Not to be a Debbie downer, but these four new releases could use a good polish.

To clarify: There are a lot of grammatical errors, there are some spots where the story is kind of choppy and poorly paced, and some of the dialogue is... a little out of character.

5698888 oh! alright. if you wouldn't mind pointing out some specifics, i'd appreciate it. I did go over it but I guess not thoroughly enough..

5698963 Starting with Perish in a Parish, correcting the capitalization on the "I"s would be a very good start.

You're a darkwraith... I may have to smite you now.
