This is intentional. It shows growth... change. Bucky's armor could almost be viewed as a cocoon. Eventually, he changed, outgrew it, and has since grown beyond the need for it.

You called?
Lol, jk. I gotta say man, I'm not really sure if I like or dislike this story, but I give you props for writing what you want to write.
Bucky is fortunate. He will never have to experience the pain that is an ingrown finger nail.
5577882
Wut?
5577899 Bucky has a hand, but not finger nails. I'm about to take a utility knife to one of my fingers. That metal hand is looking pretty good right about now.
Kudz, go to sleep. You and I both know it's too goddamned early for this. Make surethat you take some GetoffyourArse-i-done tomorrow morning.

Connections, sounds like the Internet!
poor Erebus, colic is a bad thing... this part was inspired by me i suppose... sad moment
5576484 oh shit... this is someone you don't see every day here...
anyhow... bucky started as a normal unicorn and now is "few" levels beyond that... so things are more easy for him.
i do miss the personal touch of bucky killing his enemy's cackling like a mad pony while walking in their blood (but thats just me)
It seems having a foal is bringing a lot of changes in ponies
You know, after having a discussion with Whitestrake, who thinks Luna fucked up letting that group of minotaurs go, I need to ask something.
Why didn't she teleport them to the ship instead? There, they could interrogate them to find out just who they were, and whether or not they needed to be dropped into the molten lake from high above.
5578849
And risk her crew?
5578964 I'm pretty sure that her crew are competent enough to deal with one adult and a few teenage(?) minotuars.
5579035 It could be an old one-legged no-arms blind and deaf minotaur...if he was a rebel I wouldn´t let him near my foal even if I had a full army to protect him, EVER !
5579074
Aaaaaand somebody stated the obvious reason.
The crew are common pilots. The ship was the safe place for Erebus and Belisama.
5579078 Then that is a glaring oversight on their part. All three of them left the ship with a single defender. If, and this is a big if (I'm not going to say that should have happened like someone else) the minotaurs somehow got up there, I doubt Belissima could have fought them all off.
Bucky, Luna, and Scorch need a slap for not even considering that possibility.
5579153
There are automated weapons on the outside, like with all other Equestrian vessels.
5579198 ...okay. Still, Whitestrake seems to be adamant that this will come back and bite Luna in the ass.
5579752
I are cornfused, indeed I are.
Luna showed mercy to the enemy leading calves out...calves. That minatour showed caring for the young and the potential locked within them. Luna gave them the chance to unlock it and hopefully they turn out to be great artists, scientists or even very moving, good politicians. All with a split second decision, just because she now has a foal of her own and it has changed her.
I do hope she doesn't get backlash for preserving them...that would be a major piss off.
5579755 Well...I think my mind is in the gutter. Fruit bowl, table, scarfing...

You know something in this chapter just seemed to spring out at me. When Bucky was having his introspective moment on the bed with Belisama, Luna, and Erebus, he thought about those he was close to. The line stating about those he had a connection with just really jumped out at me. Is Bucky going to research a way to keep connections with others around the world to help keep everybody mindful of those around? Maybe something like a magical version of television? I don't know, it just seemed like an important line to me.
After realizing (with a little help) somehow my mature filter was turned on....*cough cough*
I think everyone is having a bit of growth in that cabin. Luna showed her motherly side (as a dragon) by showing mercy. Scortch won't hold that against her. I'd think he'd be proud of her for making that decision.
Even in war, no matter how one-sided it is, there must be mercy shown with overwhelming power to prove the side with the power has the means to stay the hand of destruction and do just that, lest the victor be shown to be nothing more than a monster.
5579835 sometimes great politicians can do things others feel is bad, an example is Hitler. He was an amazing public speaker, but his motivation and beliefs make people view him as a bad person.
Alright. I've been thinking about Luna's actions in sparing the calves and come to a conclusion:
I see her as weak for doing this. Not because she stuck up for her morals, but because she only stuck up for an untested, unprofessed moral in a specific case when she saw it was happening to someone she empathized with and felt bad about it. I doubt those were the only calves in the city that day, I'm sure she killed countless others. But, until she was reminded that calves existed and she had a foal to take care of, she wasn't just fine with killing them, she was reveling in the glory of destroying her enemies, and proud of her inborn strength that allowed her to do so.
And then she spares them because she identified with her enemies in some way: they remind her of herself and those she cares about. So, even though it's an action that seems scrupulous and upstanding, what it really was was her losing her nerve in the middle of a combat, and deciding that these calves were special and sympathetic, and offering no such forgiveness to anyone but those people who were lucky enough to catch her eyes and inspire sympathy.
It was self-centered, that in in the midst of a slaughter that she decided was unconditional, she would decide to spare only those she empathized with, and only be able to empathize with those that remind her of herself and someone she cares for.
Now... even though I've lambasted her for it, this action was a very understandable and for lack of a better term, human reaction, that I am more upset about because Luna has put herself forth as an untouchably morally superior character and this justifies her brutally pragmatic actions where she inflicts pain and death upon those she feels need to be corrected, and appears to enjoy harming others when she can justify it.
Also, in this chapter she shows indication of doing what it would take for it to be an act of strength, rather than weakness, which is to reexamine her actions, her motivations, and how to best accomplish the goals she has without losing a sense of empathy and compassion she has. Even if the action itself was one of weakness, understanding those feelings and changing her behavior as a result of it is certainly not weak.
These two systems of government are the exact same, just with more good actions rather than bad. It's nice and all, but democracy is crap. I know that in this world it works and there's not debt in the world and magical stuff like that, but I really don't think you should praise Democracy so much. It's.... quite flawed.

I work very hard to create flawed characters that can be related to.
5582066 Ohohohoh, a newcommer !!! If only you could know what will come to your face, ohohohohoh...
Grab popcorn, tissues and a soft cushion (it´s a looooooong reading)...you´re in for quite a ride, cowboy....ups and downs all the time. I would say "get ready", but that´s impossible...nobody can be ready for this. Only one advice: if something upsates you in this fic, to the point you want to kill the writer, hold on and keep reading a couple more chapters. He LOVES to do this to us, making something awfull and, later, explaining the reason.
5582960 Dark magic, in this verse, is fuelled by hate and dark emotions. With VERY few exceptions, most of those that can use dark magic well enough are corrupted. Bucky, with his inner balance of hate and love (and, suddenly, that much wives he have makes sense, huh ? Need a helluvah lot of love to keep all the hate in check, and Bucky is very aware of that fact) is one of the few non-immortal nor alicorn beings that can use that much dark magic and not going in Evil Boos Mode.
5580422
I meant good as in good people, people who are nice, equal, etc. But still, you make a fair point.
5583165
At this point in the story, they have been used. At least once.
5583082 oh, ok. Yeah i hope they turn out good too.
5583385 Hoohohohoh...saucy !? You have NO BUCKING idea how things will turn saucy soon !!! Keep going, brave explorer, thing you can´t even imagine will come to your face soon !
...
The last phrase sounded a little odd, but i can´t came what is the reason...
....
I did it again....
5586910 What?

You have on some kind of background theme that changes the colour of the page. There is quoted text and if you change the page contrast colours the quote box and the text disappears.
5583448
aye... it IS a mature rated story with a sex tag
5577655 I think that it's quite ironic that while Bucky is literally turning himself weaker with each victory, he gains enough experience with each battle that his battle prowess grows despite his increasing weakness.
5581395 and you do an admirable job of it.
Pretty sure this is supposed to be run. sorry for not being around to read this beautiful story as well as the others you have made, life has been kicking my ass all over the place for quite awhile.
Comparisons? Griffonholm = Hiroshima, Labyrinthia = Nagasaki, end of WW2.
