Eesh, and this is the part where darker magics tied with necromancy would be useful. Much easier to fuse bone together with that branch than with regular healing types. Unfortunatley it is so abuseable like the dark magics Bucky already knows.

Bucky only knows one dark magic spell, and it is horror.
4560023 True, though technically what he seems to be trying to do could be counted as dark magic, or at least forbidden magic from how he described the taking of essence.
4560044
Not dark magic, just illegal magic.
Thanks again - still greatly enjoying it.
:-)
What exactly are their official legal names so far? Is their family name Pickled because of Berry's war declaration, or Doo-Hooves because Derpy is the Alpha Female?
4560086
For Derpy she would be Derpy Doo Hooves of Clan Pickled.
For Bucky, he would be Buckminster Bitters of Clan Pickled.
This is my only gripe with this chapter. Never give out information the characters themselves do not know, it's like cheap dramatic irony without the irony or foreshadowing without the shadowing.
4560123
But it is a classic Chase-ism.
4560126 Saying things that are happening parallel to the characters, like the chemistry from earth ponies' frog-glands, is all well and good, as is having a character thinking about the future. However, revealing the future is verboten.
I've heard stories, some very old stories about things that had been done to men who had wronged so terribly that it was the community that dealt with it. A sort of western mentality and justice that was served out to them. That said, I have a feeling there is a pegasus Stallion that is going to find his situation worse than it already is. Busted balls or neigh.
Also, Glad that Derpy is handling this as well as she is. Not to mention that Berry makes a very valid point.
The doors slowly open, the guards returning without their intended target. "Sorry, Laird Keg Smasher, he wasn't there. Something took him."
Meanwhile, in an old dilapidated shed far from the nearest town, one pegasus starts to panic as the weird monkey thing draws a rather sharp looking knife. "They threatened you with losing your balls. I'm not threatening, I'm promising that you are about to lose them."

I am probably going to face some serious backlash at what is coming next.
Think... medieval punishments common for the 15th and 16th centuries.
Keg Smasher is about to enact the first real law of protection for foals and mares.

Ooooo....
So we can expect....
Gibberting
The Rack
Dunking
Brazen Bull
The Breaking Wheel
Scavenger's Daughter
Choke Pear
So many to chose from.

Here kitty kitty...

And thus I await to see it in all of it's horrid glory. Even though that Stallion is a terrible father, and without a doubt a horrible pony, I feel bad for him.
He is a product of the isles. It would seem that he took too it a little too well, and thus an example must be made, but regardless, I do feel just tiniest bit bad for him.
Although, I'm quite certain that if one were to ask Luna about this she would be the first to command that he be taken to Mount Gloom, his wings stripped of every feather, and tied facing into the volcano. There he would slowly burn for days before he finally succumbed to Death's sweet embrace. (Which if we want to mix and match your two universes a little together he would be facing the Accuser and the Defender, and most likely he would be facing some some terrible punishments for his actions.)
4560285
As an aside, in that chapter we see two very different punishments done by parents.
Derpy punishing Sparkler, and then what was done to Loch Skimmer.
I am kind of surprised that people haven't pointed out that both parents technically struck their children, but that the end result was very different.
It is a very subtle indicator of what is deemed socially acceptable and what is deemed wrong. Politcal commentary of a sorts hidden in plain sight.
4560311
Trust me I noticed it, and I didn't say a word about it because I can relate it to my own life. Where I grew up at it was acceptable for children to be spanked if they misbehaved. It wasn't acceptable to beat them or do traumatic harm to them.
What Derpy did was social acceptable for Pegasi. It would be close to being considered a spanking (or at least as close as I could assume to being one).
What the Stallion did was traumatic harm to his child. That was not socially acceptable. It is the sort of thing that should cause problems and raise eye brows.
4560344
Goes back to the beginning of The Chase to the issue of swatting vs hitting and Cheerilee.
Many themes from the beginning of the story are being rehashed right now.
4560364
And an important lesson it was to the readers. Although for someone like Cheerilee it was hard to tell the difference.
Regardless, fantastic story so far.

I think I would normally agree, except for one thing: The future that is referenced here could be a long way away from actually happening. If this was a big completed story, then making references to the future would be different, because the future has already been written out. Since that isn't the case here, I'll take whatever I can get, be it in-story references or blog-posted spoilers.
I have to remember, next time there's a Q&A, to ask how long it's been since the last sweep.
4560256
Cut to a shot of Dinky and Piña, eyes open wide in shock, each with a fore hoof pointing accusingly:
Spoilers!
4560621
A couple of years.
as reader to writer. why did you not allow that guy to be at least castrated by one of them
4560670
They need foals.
4560691 maybe they think that but what is really the point of having kids if you simply abandon them to whatever may come their way
4560697
Change has to start somewhere. This is a very broken, very abused, very desperate generation. It may take extreme measures to sort them out, but the next generation of foals born will see a very different future than their parents.
And a foals are needed for that future.
4560708 maybe but i still think he got less than he deserved
4560715
Hold that thought until the next chapter.
4560719 very well then, i shall wait in anticipation
'Course, losing their patriarch and the fact that they're already starving probably won't do the rest of the mares from Ripple/Loch's herd much good, either. I'm not defending the father, but desperation makes people/ponies do things they might not do otherwise.
4560745
Correct.
Adding more desperation to the problem wont help.
Time for the Shite to hit the fan :P I hope the asshole gets what's coming to him
"Reminder: Ask the Royal Equestrian Medical Service for a whole airship load of general anaesthetic...and two or three doctors to teach how to properly apply them..."
And so more come under the Bitters aegis, and a hall full of ponies has to eat dinner immediately after watching a leg get set. Less than fun, especially for Loch Skimmer. And I get the feeling that immobilization is one of the most traumatic things you can do to a pegasus.
In any case, looking forward to more.
4560311
There seem to be many subtle levels that most readers gloss over, distracted as they are by the screaming, the body fluids, and the general mayhem.
You mean you to go
Its a broken system born from desperation. Problem 1) Safety: If ponies aren't safe they can't work. Problem 2) Hunger: If ponies can't eat they can't work. Problem 3) Social structure: Any social problems cannot truly be addressed until problems 1 and 2 are secured. But I'm sure Keg will put a stop to any and all forced herding or mare trading until such a time. After all changes are coming and they will need a clean slate for when they do.
More!
Sorry I didn't read each chapter sooner, my favorites just kinda piled up! Anyways, more herd marriages! Plot developments! Happy times and sad times and more screaming! Speaking of herd marriage, do you think that when the characters (if they do) get back to the mainland, they could discover that more herd marriages not limited to sisters were made? It would show that they're certainly making a difference in the world around them! Great last 4 chapters as per usual, I can't wait for wolf pwning, it will be so satisfying! Can't wait for the next chapter!
I love reading these every night.
Longer Chapters Please
I really do enjoy the very visceral way you write these characters.
Makes them feel real and believable.
All caught up now. This arc is ended up being more intense than I thought. Keep up the good work.
feeling her away around the broken leg
1. Way.
Gah!FORESHADOWING I hate it as much as spoilers. *cries some more in corner
Another well done chapter, and yes... Bucky... you bucked up
I'll see myself out.
Awww the poor lass, jeebus ;n;
Nicely done, I hope everyting goes nicely.
Jeebus.
“The bed is going to be crowded,” Derpy announced.
More warmth.
