    Fluttershy has always seemed to have had a terrible fear of dragons, but nopony has ever bothered to ask why exactly. So when a red dragon named Titan turns up in Ponyville, saying he's an old friend and looking to 'make amends' with the yellow pegasus, everypony, including Fluttershy's closest friends are shocked to say the least. Soon the questions on everyponys' lips are what broke their friendship in the first place, could it have something to do with Fluttershy's apparent fear of dragons, and can they both put the past behind them.

    Hmm. Too early to make a judgement, but it's looking good so far mate. Favourited to see where it goes...

    A few grammatical errors, but nothing too big.

    Aside from the minor mistakes even the best of us would over look as we are not perfect, I really think that this will be one of the many successful stories that I have viewed on here. I am interested to see where this goes and it would be great for this story to be finished within an allotted time. Why do I say that? Because on certain topics or stories, you want to make a great debut with it, and clearly this story is probably the one that will really get attention compared to your other stories.

    To simplify, the story is great so far, you need to finish it sooner than you hoped, and watch for small errors. Good luck my dear Brony. Adieu~

    Fantastic start.  As what the few above me said, there are quite a few grammar errors in most of the paragraphs, otherwise it's still eligible.  I'll be waiting diligently for the next chapter.

    I guess I should also admit I wrote chapter one in a period of two hours on fims writing tool in the middle of the night...from now on I'll be working in word during uni breaks so that should help clean up any grammar issues and let me get updates out faster

    Well, I'm relieved there isn't any Dragon pony shipping. Can you imagine a full size dragon and a pony doing it? It'd be like trying to shove a hotdog into a Cheerio. For that imagery, you are welcome.

    Ok i definitely liked this new version of the 'event'. This confrontation with his brother seems much more dramatic and plausible than the cliche "I never want to see you again, I never liked you blah blah blah". So essentially the only, unvoiced because it wasn't that important , complaint I had before is now gone. :pinkiehappy:

    Now on to chapter 5.

    :yay: towards ch5.

    It has potential, but I really think you need to restructure your sentences.  There seems to be a lot of run on sentences, sentences that could be broken down into more manageable sentences, and even some sentences that could benefit from moving around a few commas.  I will bear with it for a while, but I do think you need a pre-reader or at least this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xemG7BLk2rvAmQCREIaj5wX2ubvmVt7WziEvh7xXV9g/edit#

    Here's hoping you improve.  You have potential, and potential should never be wasted.

    I like this chapter. I like Dashie. I like dragons, but not as much as Dashie. I no longer have the urge to blow Thanes brains out at point-blank range with a nuke. Actually, I find myself agreeing with him to an extent, she is adorable but he might've been going a bit far with the nuzzling depending on what was running though his mind at the time.

    Good work mate! I can't think of anything else to compliment this story!

    Outcome of everyone vs Storm interesting. Everyone we know of's gonna fight against him, but we don't know if he's bringing any backup or not, plus the fact that the dragons seem considerably nervous around him and, well, they're dragons.

    How big is Storm anyway? May be a huge factor.

    Enough of my rambling. I admit I had some doubts at the beginning of the story, glad to see they were 100% wrong. Good work mate.

    Dragon Fight:

    It's like a catfight, but the cats in question are 80 stories tall and equipped with fire, fangs, claws and wings.

    Also, this was a totally lopsided battle: Titan had the magic of friendship on his side!

    I'll admit i thought about it...but Celestia would have thrown the power balance in Titan's favour and it was 'predominatly' a dragon afair anyway. Also I didn't like the idea of introducing another major 'good' character this late on...sorry.

    Holy shit! Thane is a badass! Did he just invent the Sonic Thaneboom??? :rainbowhuh:

    Overall a great chapter, though the fight with a couple of the other dragons couldve been extended, and I felt like Titan and Storm couldve gotten into a one on one. Though I guess thats a bit cliche. The only real complaint is that there are a few grammar errors. Other than that though were good! Thanks for another chapter to read! 9/10 for this chapter!:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

    A great story... But I'm a little disappointed that Celestia never made an appearance. She could have just showed up after the battle and at least recommended them for bringing peace between dragons and ponies or something like that... But then again that's my opinion. Good story still. Well worth the read.:pinkiehappy:

    This was a cool story, not the best I've ever read but definitely a worthwhile way to have spent the time it took reading it.

    Liking the Rainbow/Thane pairing, I'm a little weird like that. (Though I draw the line at watermelons and kitchen sinks)

    Thanks mate, addmittedly It was the first thing I ever wrote, so I understand that there are bumps about it.

    The Thane/Dash thing was basically born out of me reacting to the readers comments (as a joke more then anything) but it seemed to go down well, so I stuck with it. :pinkiehappy:

    That was pretty good, I really enjoyed reading it. I'm a little bummed out that it was only 9 chapters long but that's okay, I don't mind. :pinkiesmile:
