Twilight's description in full Changeling mode is always, always awesome. Celly's title is intriguing though, or at least the one given by the Beast. I guess we'll find out more later!

Ending long chapters with more questions than answers is something of a guilty pleasure of mine.
Still, another intermission and some good non-actiony chapters should help bring everything into light.
Well, most things...
Another excellent chapter, I am very much looking forward to the next one, as always, keep it up!
A joy to read as always.
Im always a satisfied pony after reading another one of your chapters :3 This is in my top 3 fics, >.< dont ask me which out of the three tho XD i think my head would explode if i really tried 2 categorize fics, all in all, Bucking amazing fic (pardon my uncouthness :p)
104637 Bravo, my good sir, bravo. I could definitely feel the effort that went into this chapter. Glad to see the the princesses getting some "screen time" as it were. You'd think think they'd be more involved in the mass ponynapping thing considering how many changelings there are. That and a good Trollestia is always worth a laugh. Also got an X-men vibe from Twilight (Prof. X) when she talked about why they need to protect normal ponies. Now that the Applebloom arc is complete I'm looking forward to some more character development in the intermission.
I'm simply blown away by this whole tale. Having found this more or less accidentally I've found myself falling in love with this depiction of Twilight. Not only does she come across as being an Action Super-heroine (Like a more combat oriented female Prof. X) but you can still see all the things that made the original Twilight so lovable. Keep up the great work!

About 900,000 people went missing in America this past year without undue comment, and about 150,000 went missing in 1980. I used that as a guideline for the number of changelings to make it back in one piece after the Beast set them loose, based on an arbitrary population I came up with for the number of ponies in Equestria.
God damn this is excellent writing.
Gotta say, I'm starting to get really curious how Twilight would stack up against one of the Alicorn Princesses. On the one hand, they are actual Goddesses of the Day and Night, but on the other hand... "Twilight Sparkle" wouldn't even have to change her name if she wanted to declare herself their equal. Grow some wings of purple fire with the secrets of the ages floating away from them as disappearing ashes and name herself Princess of the Fae or something.
Maybe after she kills the Beast, hmmm? Even if she doesn't go all Your-Powers-Combined with each Pony type and become an Alicorn, it'd be hard to imagine something so trivial as age having much of an effect on her. If she just stuck around for a few centuries, they'd probably start calling her the Princess of the Times Between or something just because noone remembers what it was like when she was mortal.

Or call her the Goddess of Magic. That is her special thing after all.
-------------------------

Looking forward to seeing Twilight doing thing other than fighting. I wonder if she is still as hyper organized as seen in Lesson Zero or if she has loosened up a bit? Could be interesting to see how things go if she is still like that.
Always a pleasure, OP Twilight, always a pleasure. I think I might have missed something, cause I don't remember Twilight becoming a Knight. Cheers and internets for using correct titlage. Dame Twilight Sparkle...
Oh Celestia, you so Molestia, lookin' at Twilight in the bath.
106261
She is informed about her knighthood in "Aftermath" (chapter 23).
The only problem I have with this whole fic is that the real Trixie is dead.
She was the Trixie who appeared in "Boast Busters", and to me that will always be the real Trixie.
I hope the other Trixie gets punished for killing her.
106501
Wait, I was pretty sure that the real Trixie was the one that was alive... arrrrrrrgh.
106078 This. So much.
106947
No, you had it right. Nightgazer just has a thing for the ex-imposter and prefered her (unredeemable jerk that she was).
106078
Wait 'til the sequel, Twilight's only at about 60% of where she will be when that rolls around.
106981
Sequel?
106981
i wait with baited breath for the sequel! this has been sitting in my Que for far to long, and i do NOT regret reading it.

White Wolf's Changeling: The Lost.
175497
Nope, never read it. It was just the first name that came to mind. o.o
175543 Lol I guess that is a bit overdramatic but it would still be nice to see a straight couple more frequently. It is starting to get a little jarring for how frequently it is used. However when it works it works but for now it is just not doing anything for me. Rarity seems to be more classy than to just have sex openly in the middle of a dance floor on their first date. I mean jeeze, get a room.
172459 Is it any good? If so I might give it a read.
175520 Read it for the sake of Equestia! Also lol, guess it is just a common name or something.
175777
I was thinking about doing that, but it's a rather personal experience between changelings. Besides, Twilight herself doesn't even understand how it works, and since the story is centered around her, it would be odd to provide something like that. She'll do research into it during the next Intermission, which should clarify things
Also, thank you for the frankness of your comments thus far, constructive criticism is always, ALWAYS appreciated.
Oh, and the Rarity/Twilight stuff was a little abrupt, it's one of many things I'm intending to change when I go through with my great purge of editing.
177255 I thought you might explain more in later chapters seeing how you have presented the previous comments. I just wanted to make sure I didnt miss anything. Also, glad I can help. This is a great story and I would like to see that it is the best it can be. Cant really get that if everyone is always saying its perfect. So I shall continue forth through the rest and see how everything unravels. cant wait for the chapters with applebloom
Block of text COMMENCE!
Finally reached the last chapter. I must say that I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more. However, the thing with the arrow in the head and somehow surviving just didn't seem necessary. It was very cliche. I personally think that when there is the feeling that anyone can die at any moment no matter who it is is cool. It makes fighting sequences more realistic and intense. You had that for a brief instant with marmalade. It gave a sense of danger, but it was kinda destroyed with trotter. This is much more opinionated than the shipping but I thought I might as well say it. Also, is everyone gay?! I mean seriously, in real life it is very hard to know if someone is interested in you and to actually find them. What are the chances that four of the main six who happen to be best freinds, trixie, and possibly luna all be gay? Its unnessassary and just improbable! There are plenty of guys to ship the females, so why not them? Rant over and sorry if I am seeming repetitive, but its starting to get grating seeing how much I love all of the other aspects to the story. This story can definetly hold out on its own without it so, just cut it and who knows, you might be able to make this teen to send in to EQD. Not that it really matters. Which, by the way, why is it mature? I have seen way worse with a teen rating. Anyway, cant wait for more. Also, seeing as he has commented here before, if Wanderer D ever reads this, when on Earth is Empty Room gonna be updated? Its been a while and I eagerly wait for the next chapter.

The point of death an injury were for Twilight. Making her more serious about leading and to push her to the brink.
Because male in the series are not really developed and therefore building their character to where they are an interesting ship would distract too much from the story? And the ships going on in the backgroud (FlutterDash, Vinyl X Octavia) are ships that have been done so people can go read about how they may occur to get some context for them which can give more appeal than sticking them with a random pony.
Because sex, gore, violence, and use of alcohol? And maybe langauge, but I seem to recall there being nothing specific except where Trixie almost says something so probably not that one.
The time since the last Empty Room update and now is well within reason considering the next chapter is going to be big.
187104
The Trotter thing, I agree, was a little contrived, but I liked the character and chickened out at the last minute from killing him off. Still, Changelings are exceptionally resilient, and Earth Ponies even more so. I didn't want the shipping to be a focus, but I felt, given the very emotional nature of Changelings, it would be unrealistic to leave it out altogether.
And yes, the male ponies are relatively underdeveloped characters, since I don't have the luxury of show-canon to fall back on for them. I'll get more into it later, and I might write a few side-stories about them. Luminous is already going to get a side-story, once this is over, as kind of a side project while the sequel's being written, but Trotter and Aqua are possibilities as well.
I slapped the mature rating on when I started this because I wasn't sure how deep down the gory, sexy rabbit hole I was going to go, and I'm still hesitating about it. There will be some brutal moments soon, when the Beast's final strategy is laid bare and things start going into motion, but the sex will come and go, if you'll pardon the pun.
187680 I have no clue why, but the I really like the one male character at the beggining, slate I think his name was. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him. Also, I usually am not to fond of when wrighters give in to thier inner demons and make their story clopfics or gorefics without innitially being one. Especially one of this awsome quality. Of course I am very lenient when it comes to grimdark but that is a personal preference. However, it is your story so make it however you see fit. Shipping definetly is nice when it works, which it rarely does so I will once again say be careful with it. I eagerly await the next chapter and wish you good luck.
187298 That is a good point about the shipping although it is nice to see the relationships grow instead of just hearing about it. Even though there are some adult themes in this story, I still don't think it is enough to be mature. Even that story triple x, about an oc running a porn shop was rated teen. And that was as one would expect, filled with adult content. I guess I am just more lenient when it comes to that stuff. After reading stories like cupcakes, Horizons, and watching shed.mov I guess I am more immune to grimdark. Anyway, I digress.
201850 So does their transformation happen due to the surroundings of their current master's domain to help with their time there? Makes sense.
202764 Probably. I'm not sure, ask someone who's actually played Changeling: The Lost. But I'd have to guess that that's what happens.
Just discovered your fic and have read all 29 chapters in two hours, I just couldn't stop. Something about your twilight is so badass that I just can't turn away..... Please write more I love this story so much
By the way, the way you describe the fae reminds me of The Bitterbynde triology, have you read it by chance?
205267
Why thank you! And no, I'm afraid I haven't.
202764
It's more a case of their keeper and/or environment twisting them to some role usually. Though occasionally a keeper will inflict changes on a whim, for some unknowable aim. In any event, the changes themselves are somehow related to the Hedge stripping away part of a Changeling's soul, which leaves it vulnerable to the influence of Faerie. The books never explain, though there are hints, so I'm making my own canon, which will be revealed in later chapters.
205538Oh?! Well you should
205538 It is awsome that you are making your own cannon. To many times have I seen crossovers where it is almost the same as the original. Also, poor twi for losing part of her soul . I eagerly await the next chapter.
Okay, I looked up an old demo for Changeling and knowing some of the concepts behind it makes the story even more interesting that it was.
(For any that are interested, it is availible as a free pdf download from http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php; though an account is required)
Y u no update? I miss this fic, it is one of the best on this site. Granted, you can't rush perfection, and you knock at perfection's door.

See author's blog post.
So I just quickly read up on Changeling: The Lost. I think I understand well enough. So Twilight would be... Summer Darkling? I think? I don't know, but I hope you update soon, even if it is a simple intermission with no action or plot development. In fact I think I would prefer it. Whatever. Good tidings and good night.
im finally up to date with story now, i really REALLY love it. its kinda like my usual favorites, but on the same time its completely different; which is very good.
one thing about the story that i have a hard time with is actually imagining how stuff looks through your descriptions, dont take it the wrong way; you're really good at describing scenes and looks but its just that there is so much details that over the over the course of a description i almost lose the picture in my head cause there is so much to piece together, it was harder earlier in the story and got a lot better later but still. i dont know if its possible but you could maybe find someone to make a few simple (although they still have to be quite good) drawings of a few things, like twilights new look and later her armor for example.
i have a question about the story as well; why were twi gone for three weeks when she went to get ABs soul fragments, was it just a time distortion or were they really away that long?

Time flows differently in the land of the Fae. I have not read the rules, but when I was looking into the RPG this is a crossover with I saw mention that when Changelings escape it is possible to arrive in the real world at a point in time before they were captured.
The time distortion also explains how that one crazy lived long enough to be released after he had been missing for like a century.
Dear Rusty,
We miss you and badass twilight.
Sincerely,
The Internets

Aw, I know, but finals are looming and I've got graduation stuff to prepare. :<
I AM still working on the next chapter, it's over five pages now or something silly like that. I'm also working on the sequel simultaneously and on some side-stories since people expressed an interest in the background characters like Slate the Guard. Stuff will get done when I have the time and energy to finish them, but school is like a gigantic... Energy-sucky... Thing...
... Anyway.
I've not forgotten y'all, it's just taking a long time for me to get around to all this.
402575 Its cool, life comes first. Glad to know you're still with us.
Interesting choices on which character tags to trim off and which to keep.
446065
Yeah, just spotted that. Fixing.
446069

Oh story...
I need you now... like the flowers need the rain...
