The throne room is such a massive expanse of crystalline marble and crystal windows that at times during the day it would be almost blinding to those that are unprepared for it, but at night it looked amazing, especially when a certain lunar princess was in the mood and allowed a constellation or two to show on the floor with the power of her magic and the crystal windows amplifying the images of the night.
There was three thrones in this chamber in two, two of them belonged to the sun and the moon princesses but the third one belonged to the head chairmen of the Council. I helped form that position after the question- I mean interrogation from Princesses Celestia and Luna with Councilor Sombra at their side.
Those two were grilling me for hours on end and I only told them the bare minimum of things but when Luna finally got impatient however...
The three of us entered the throne room, Councilor Sombra was busy talking to a guard wearing bronze armor, my guess trying to get the feel about something but when the guard shook his head and took a step back, I can guess that he was asking said guard about something else.
As soon as the three of us crossed the threshold into the throne room, Princess Celestia's horn glowed a golden hue and with it I heard the twin giant doors creak themselves shut and once they were closed the two princesses trotted over to the only pairs of chairs in the room and sat themselves down. Sombra saw that now was the time for our little talk and place himself between the two monarchs, really easy to figure out they were in charge (it was the crowns that did it), but anyways once they sat down they began their questioning.
They asked me who I am, what I am, where did I come from, did I come in peace or was I a scout for war (it was funny as hell for me cause Sombra said 'If you came in peace you surrender, but if your came for war then we surrender', Luna hit him in the back of the head for that one) what my plans are, how many more of me are there, etc. etc.
My responses were all snarky, I just couldn't help myself.
But what I could do was not make my case even harder on myself by being stupid.
Luna's response to my stupidity was to beat it out of me...cladded hooves hurt like hell.
"Abusing your prisoners is a surefire way of it coming back to bite you in the ass little princess." I growled as she said that it was noted before hitting me again.
"Just maybe the beatings will stop when thee answers My Sister's questions with respect!" Luna shouted loudly, and if I was still human then it would have probably blown out my eardrums.
"Luna, please, harming him does not suit our desire for peace."
"Yeah, listen to her for a change. You two preach that you are peaceful and yet you easily practice barbaric means of extracting information from those that are in your custody." I said but as I let those words loose I saw Luna back down from her hostile stance and shifted into one that was a lot more menacing then the old one.
Trotting around me, her eyes looking me over I realize that I might have just tipped her onto an edge that I knew that she was willing to jump off of to get what she wanted.
"Fine then peasant, if the beatings will not make you talk then I will take what I want!" I watched as her horn glowed a dark purplish-blue color before coming into contact with my head, and like that I was out like a light.
But it didn't end there, oh no sir it did not.
As soon as I was rendered unconscious, I felt something probe its way into my mind and as soon as it started to reach for things it shouldn't be, I decided to unleash a probe of my own.
(One thing that unicorns and apparently alicorns have failed to understand that those with a strong mind and sense of will, they can attempt to breach the minds of those they are connected with via the horn of those that are coming into contact with, but it can only be initiated when the one with the horn starts the probing process. It is a dangerous process and if one should fail in the reverse probing, then they run the risk of being mentally scarred and even more so brain damaged by having your brain almost fried. The few that have managed to do such a thing is myself, Discord, and Tirek.)
I felt the pushing and prodding of Luna's mind against my own, I could feel everything that she was doing inside my head, trying to find the truth to everything she is looking for, but I won't make it easy for her.
When she tried to grasp my true name, I showed her the names of countless others that were not my own.
When she tried to take my knowledge, I instead gave her the knowledge of failure. (fuck math)
When she attempted to steal my memories, I showed her hell. (I got a very vivid imagination, especially when it comes to horror games)
While she was occupied with my vivid imagination of my many deaths in Dead Space, I was busy probing her mind, something that she was not prepared for nor even bother to counter my intrusion.
Her mind was like an open book, each memory was laid bare, her thoughts, her fears, her hopes and dreams, everything.
And I made her regret it all by forcing her out of my head by trying to steal her darkest secrets.
As soon as she felt my probe slip into her mind and find the one thing she tried to hide, she immediately disengaged the spell, cutting the connection and giving the both of us a mental feedback shock, in essence a painful headache, but the damage was already done.
Once the connection was broken, the lunar princess felt back onto her haunches and started to rub at her forehead while I fell to a knee and had what was essentially a headache that is akin to a hangover. Both suck but this time I don't get the shitty bonus of puking on myself.
"Sister, what did I tell you about trying to mind read those that are under our wings."
"But Sister! He is hiding so much from us! His secrets-"
"Are his to have. We all have secrets of our own sister, it is not our place to take those and expose them."
"This shit hurts..." I groaned as I fell over and decided to use the floor to rest on until my brain stopped feeling like it was on fire.
Trotting over to me I watched as Celestia kneeled (can horses kneel with four legs?) and looked at me sadly before speaking.
"Is there anything within my power that I can do to ease your pain?"
There is so many vulgar things I could have said at that moment, just so many things, but I liked my blood and guts on the inside of my body and I am absolutely positive that Luna would have made sure to rip them from me if I said any of them so I said something else instead.
"Yeah...a bigger bed would be nice."
And a bigger bed I got, now only my feet and hands hang over the sides now. I still didn't get the bigger doors for my room though...
And sitting on his corrupted crystal throne, with Celestia's and Luna's throne knocked aside and broken, was a pony who was once my friend, Sombra, and he looked pleased with himself.
Looking down at me from the safe distance between us, I watched my former friend laugh to himself as I allowed my gaze to settle on the pillars of black crystals that dot the room. The dark crystals had a strange shine to them, a dull glowing aura surrounded all of them and with just a bit of focus I saw that each one contained a hopefully still living body of a pony.
"Well it really isn't a dungeon when there are no prisoners to fill it and no guards to patrol it." I said as I started to walk past the pony-filled crystal columns, making sure not to come into contact with any of them as I know all to well of what will happen if I do touch one.
"I see, but don't worry, when I am done with you and send you back down there it will be filled with those that do not agree with me. You won't be alone for long but you won't be alive for long either." Sombra said as he looked at one of his iron-cladded hooves before his horn ignited in a hellish red/black, making me take a step back just before a thin crystal spire rose from the ground and nearly impaled my left foot in the process.
If I hadn't taken that step backwards when his horn started to glow I would be in a sour mood right now.
Looking down at the black spike and then to Sombra I saw that trademark grin of his before his horn started to glow again and the same as before I took a step back again but this time it was a trio of spikes. I am so glad that I took that step back because if I hadn't, it wouldn't have just stabbed me in the leg, it would also be a crotch shot as well which would never sell well for me. I value my man parts above everything else and if those were to ever get damaged or destroyed, no amount of force on Earth will save him from my terrible vengeance.
Bobbing and weaving between the crystalline ponies and the shards of deadly black spires, this is exactly what happened before the massive stasis spell that both Celestia and Luna (alongside with every single unicorn they could get their hooves on at the moment that wasn't encased in black crystals) placed on the capital of the Crystal Empire, but this time those two aren't here to interfere with my own little rebellion against the two little failures.
Before I could think back further before our little incident and how it matches this one, I felt a flat object impact my right shin from two sides, effectively forcing my right leg to buckle under the pain and the weight of my body.
"Fuck! Why is it always my shins! It doesn't matter where I am anymore! It always ends with someone hitting my fucking shins!" I shouted as my two smaller hands rubbed at the injured spot while my two larger ones were lifted up and covering the exposed part of my helmet as I felt a spire shatter across my forearms, sending shards everywhere.
It has been a month since my arrival to this place, and not much has changed. My room may have been altered to better suit my...stature... but for the moment I am still under lock and key and the ever vigilant gaze of the crystal ponies that live here.
Ponies, that is not something that I would thought that would be a dominant race on a planet. A bunch of herbivores who skitter and flee at the sight of blood and death, a sight I first witnessed when a beast from the wild managed to enter the lower districts. I believe that what the beast was a manticore, if my memory of D&D is correct, and when I saw it I realized that I was mostly right.
Instead of the human-like head it instead had a lion's in its place, its tail is not lined with deadly sharp barbs but is instead a scorpion tail which means it lost its ranged projectile for quite possibly dead poison, its body is much more lion-like instead that of a horrible beast from hell and it still had the dragon wings but from what I saw it can't really fly, only glide. It may not look like the manticores that I know of, but it still dies like them, only problem is that ponies seem to hate the fact that I killed something in front of them.
How are they to win a battle if war were to ever come onto their doorstep if they can't stand the sight of death and destruction?
But anyways, when a month has passed the three tried to once more talk to me but this time they gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse.
I will be allowed to roam freely throughout their kingdom, but on the condition that I work for them by scouting their lands for any wild beasts and I am to study them, learn their habits, find their weaknesses, and need be if they start to become restless and start to wander near any towns or villages, I am to strike them down.
When they told me about this deal, I at first thought it was a means of getting me killed and to have my corpse studied to further their own advancements, but when I took the deal and saw first hand what I will be facing, I realized that this wouldn't be so bad doing this for a living. I mean sure I almost got stabbed a few times, was mauled but my shields took the brunt of the damage and I now got a new throw rug for my room.
Soon enough this new job of mine started to become fun, I mean sure I could be using the guns that I came here with (a shrapnel launcher and two shock pistols) but where is the fun in that? These things can't hurt me and I have two swords at my disposal (and they shock things too!), but that is besides the point, I get paid to do this and I only have to deal with wearing an enchanted tracking collar so they can monitor my movements and I only get paid when the job is done and I bring back proof of the deceased mark.
Anyways it was on my third job that I encountered something, or should I say someone when I was out hunting. I was in the forests that surrounded the Crystal Kingdom in its early years before the great industrial and population boom of 0125 BD (that's Before Discord for you scholars and turbo nerds) when I heard a twig snap directly behind me, and went to duck and roll through a bush to surprise my ambusher, I instead scared the shit out of a young mare wearing a fancy looking toga-like dress.
This pony had a peachy coat of fur, a golden colored mane and emerald-green eyes, and although I could not see her cutie-mark through her dress I can only fathom a guess that it has to be something for the nobility or something on the scholarly side of things.
This mare stood there, just looking at me with the most inquisitive stare I have ever seen, even more than the time the two princesses were looking at me when we first met. Staring at her I saw that it was just her and no one else and it then made me wonder why was there a young noblemare all the way right here without a shackle of guards to protect her but instead she was alone, well not alone anymore seeing how she is now here with me.
"You! What are you doing all the way out here? This is an unsafe area and you must return back to the capital for your own safety." I said in a calm manner as I did not want to disturb any of the local wildlife and also alert any wild beasts that have yet to detect us and hunt us down. I can protect myself just find but I don't want to also try to keep her safe and sound because she decided to talk loudly and get us into trouble.
"I am here to assist you in your quest against the beasts of the wilds-"
"No." I said flatly, honestly, why would she try to help me?
"But why!" The mare shouted and I immediately lunged at her and covered her mouth, grabbed her by the back of the neck and held her front legs tightly before pressing my face to hers.
"You fool! Are you trying to alert every single beast to our location with your shrill voice!" I hissed in her face as I quickly looked around to see if anything was coming at us but when I saw nor heard anything approach us I released the mare from my grip.
She quickly took several steps back but she stood her ground as she straightened herself out.
"Well excuse me for wanting to help your ugly hide! I thought you would appreciate my thoughtful assistance but instead you refuse it!"
"Because I do not want dead weight bringing me down and I don't want to worry about some mare that will get in the way and die." I said quietly as to keep anything that might be nearby from hearing but that only served to anger the mare more.
"I am not useless!" She shouted at me again but this time she galloped up to me, turned around and mule-kicked me right in the shin.
I bit my lip and let out a muffled cry of pain as she scooted back and looked at me with smug grin, but that quickly faded away when I stood back up and when she tried to run away I grabbed her by the tail and hissed right in her ear.
"You want to be useful, then I have just the thing for you." I angrily glared at her before lifting her up off the forest ground and started to go back to my hunt but with my new partner in tow.
"What are you going to do to me?"
"Oh, you'll see."
I used her as bait to draw them out.
"I recalled a time that you told me this weakness of yours, maybe in the future you shouldn't tell anyone what can take you down without putting too much effort." Sombra said as I heard the clip-clop of hooves on crystalline marble as he slowly made his way towards me, firing off crystal shard after crystal shard at me, or more importantly, my head.
"And I also recall a time when you used to be into stallions." I shouted at the dark unicorn as I fell to my injured leg and rolled to the side before standing back up, using the momentum to dive and weave through the frozen ponies, the ice shards bouncing off and doing no damage to those stuck in time.
My comment on his sexuality struck a chord within him as he immediately pulled out all stops and concentrated on me for the briefest of moments before teleporting right in front of me and blasting me in the chest with a high powered explosive blast of magic.
The result was me being launched backwards and directly out of the throne room, smoke trails leaving the damage site on my chest while also leaving a nice one inch dent in my chest. That shit hurts.
"I thought I told you to never bring that back up!" the mad king shouted before teleporting up to me again but while I was on my knees getting back up, he was standing in front of me again but this time his throne being held in his magic aura.
Oh this is going to suck.
I shut my eyes and just in time to, getting hit by a crystal throne hurts like hell, especially that it exploded upon hitting me and sent me down the stairs and onto the third floor landing.
Groaning in pain from being smacked with a big ol' chair, I pulled myself up and off the floor only to catch the sight of Sombra standing at the top of the staircase, glaring angrily at me with billowing black smoke coming out of his eyes and a hoof scrapping the damaged crystal marble tiles.
"You're paying for that Skolas." I heard Sombra speak but I was too busy hearing something else, the sounds of a mechanical march of hooves, so many hooves marching in unison and in a slow tempo. Almost mechanical in nature but far from the truth it was something far more sinister, something that I helped create and later realize my second greatest mistake.
Oh no...
The sound of marching hooves only grew louder as they got closer and it wasn't long before I saw the remaining brainwashed and corrupted crystal guards that have yet to be liberated from Sombra's grasp.
"Oh bollocks..." I muttered as Sombra's horn flared to life and with it the guards lifted their heads in unison, their eyes emitting the same glow as his own eyes with the exception that their eyes look dead and hollow.
Marching in front of Sombra and partially down the stairs to keep us separated was the mind-dominated crystal guards, and all of them are heavily armed and armored.
"Skolas, meet my greatest creations!" And with that declaration of what they are, all forty ponies turned their heads toward me and I saw the hollowness that was their eyes, blank and empty, and none of them were going to show me any mercy as they pulled out saw blades, sharpened halberds and pointy spears and axes.
Oh hell...
Now normally this wouldn't be so bad for me, but ever since I told Sombra that the only way for me to get injured here, seeing how they don't have access to explosive weaponry, thousands of bullets, or even Vex-grade technology, his only chance came when he infused the darkness into a small arsenal of weapons that are now right before me. I once thought that the darkness couldn't hurt me, I was proven wrong on the day the entire kingdom fell into a stasis field.
I still got the scar on my right hands to prove it.
Even though these were Sombra's creation and he hadn't divulged any information on their weaknesses or how they operate, I do know one thing that will clearly disable and cripple them to the point that they won't fight back. Sombra's magical connection to them all is what fuels the runes that adorn the inner confines of their helmets and if I could just break his horn off then those he has under his control will be released, but they will suffer a severe case of mental-feedback from the sudden disconnection.
That and they won't remember a thing of what they were doing, just as long as I don't say anything that they did while under Sombra's control (herded innocents into the dungeons to be tortured, set fire to my house, twice, instigated the griffons to attack us and started a war that brought in the three pony tribes of the southern lands, and because of that war nearly unleashed Discord from his prison.) but sadly as long as these guards keep me away from their master I can't free them.
"Crystal Centurions! Bring me his head!"
Oh fuck me to tears...
Hey Dreamon, stop switching between past and present during battle sequences. It's disruptive and disorienting to the reader.
The part about Skolas' dealing with Luna's probing is fine, since it was prior to the battle, but everything else involving switching between past and present in a battle is bloody annoying! I mean, it's like you focused too much on the flashbacks and less on the present! Oh, and please make the chapters longer. Having a Cliffhanger once or twice is fine. Having them end EVERY chapter? That's just annoying!
Yup forge your weapons with pride for they will serve you well
7127315 Just for saying that, I will try to make a cliffhanger that is inside another cliffhanger that just so happens to be inside a macho combo burrito.
7127365 Really? I hope you're kidding with that statement. Otherwise, if that's literal, it means you can't take critique at all.
So did you decide to rewrite this story? Cause it looks like you decided to rewrite this story.
7127372 Also, I'm sure he is kidding. That is not a comment you make with a straight face.
I'm sorry but, this story has lost everything good with me ever since the rewrite, even more so when you made Skolas look like a weakling who is stupid enough to give away secrets that can hurt him and those he love. I'm sorry to say this but, this rewrite is worst then the original i can't read this story anymore sorry.
7127436 awe, come on. A nice story needs a little down side. I am sure that when everything that is needed to be set in place has been placed. Skolas would rise up like the kell that he is before the rewrite. Once he has gotten the thrown, there I would know if this story is going to be as good as before. For now maybe you and I should stick around and wait till then.
How the hell is he so weak?
.... sooo, we've seen him drain the darkness from his prison/crystals. I wonder if he can drain sombra directly. Or to a lesser extent, everything around him. The reaction would be of note i think.
I miss the old battle with Sombra
Yeah Skolas may have seemed a bit too powerful. But it at least made sense when he annihilated Sombra. But this is just worst.
Listen, I think you can make great stories, truly, I do. But this rewrite was taking something good and trying to change it
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
This rewrite is painful to read but I'm sill reading it because I have hope that this will become just as great as the original
7127837 7127892 7127436 Trust me, I did not want to rewrite my story but because of what happened with Dropbear complaining to a moderator which resulted in me either keeping this story off the site for good or rewriting it, so either enjoy what you got or simply wait for me to register on fanfiction and place it there.
Andre of Astora.
7128352 Yup, I've been playing Dark Souls 3 lately and my god, my first death was not from some random mook or boss, but it was my own stupid fault. I accidentally rolled off the side of a cliff while fighting a red phantom. I was carrying so many souls that I was raging at my own stupidity for not only not wearing the ring of sacrifice but also for dying right in front of a boss chamber.
7128485 much worse is when you just recently become human to summon phantoms for the bossfight and forget that there is a hole inyour path and run straight to it.
I see the reference.
I love it.
7128485
Sorry about the mods, man. Alot of them are uptight and sometimes PC about Alot of things.
7127396 7127436 7127837
Guys the mods took down the original, he had no choice also, I like this story alot too, althouhg its a little slow going but hes just trying to get all the back story in before the real story starts so that you all have the information you need.
7130417 Why did they take it down?
Well, at least I have old one in epub.
Will read rewrite too.
7130648
Dropbear, an author, complained that Roran's description of the crystal empire's throne room / palace was the same as his description. Which is bullshit.
7131144 ... I can't even process the stupidity of this.
7131567 He also complained about the intro of how he got there, the thing with the diamond dogs, thing with celestia. I am just surprised he didn't complain about it being a displaced...oh wait, he did. His hatred for displaced is so great that he made a blog about it.
7131591 media.indiedb.com/images/members/3/2312/2311677/Tactical_Facepalm.jpg
And this moron got away with it? What the actual fuck? I am almost speechless right now.
7131835 Ah, the Tactical Facepalm, I used the Double Facepalm because that is all I could do when I saw the complaint that was followed by a Moderator telling me that the story was taken down, told to either redo it or take it elsewhere. I mean honestly, there isn't many ways for one to introduce a character to the Crystal Empire because come on, it is way the fuck up north with howling blizzards and snow! Isolated from society as a whole and is pretty much unadjusted to the times.
His character showed up during a blizzard, so did mine, we both find the crystal empire, we both came in and killed Sombra, both ruled the empire with our own ideals and methods, both dealt with diamond dogs and hate Celestia, but that is where it diverts and changes.
Where he pretty much killed off the diamond dogs and made sure they don't come back, I made it where a bunch were slayed and the rest were absorbed into the empire. Where he just hated Celestia, I made mine hate Celestia for trying to usurp his throne and for spying on him. Also while he had 3 other people with him but they all were insanely overpowered and pretty much couldn't be stopped while I had 3 people but they were slightly overpowered but were weakened due to lack of resources and being under house arrest. Also while he pretty much ended his story with a cop out by having the space police show up and take him away, I have intentions of anything of the sort of happening.
Pretty much I just think that the Moderators had a colossal brainfart and sided with Dropbear cause his story was on longer than mine was and had mine taken down.
7131947 After doing a bit more digging, I don't think that was the reason they sided with him. He did have a few examples of paragraphs that could be considered plagiarism, (and literally would be if this was a college paper, which it's not) though I don't think that should be enough to remove a story. What most likely happened is that he showed them those paragraphs and they took it as enough to remove it cause they didn't want to go through both stories. It's bad enough Hasbro themselves do this kinda shit to us, last thing we need is us doing it to ourselves.
7131947 I disagree with your statement about Dropbear ending on a cop-out, he did have a sequel for the sequel opening, so there's that. Also, did you see how much shit Nigel Motherfucking Chalmers accomplished with just his brains? I liked your original version but I kinda "ehh" when you started teleporting in advanced tech. Made it feel like he just got a big ol' army worth of stuff with a bare minimum (yes, building a what-the-fuck was hard but the payoff was way, way too much).
You are tearing me apart lisa Roran. Please stop telling us things happened instead of showing them.
This new version of your story feels rushed, like you want to do a fast foward to the part where the original ended.
I love this fic, dont get me wrong, its on my top favorites on this site, dont let it become a bland and tastless story by just winging it. Do not take this as an offense, i really want to see this story flourish, becoming even better than the old one and leaving Dropbear´s in the dust.

Nigel fucking Chalmers.
Toast- I mean skolas.
7151693 I am so glad that there are still people who read this and actively hunt for my errors. And yes I did use that group for this story but no one picked up the call so now I am just up shit creek without an editor paddle. And for some reason I think I know you from somewhere, don't know why.

7157785 Yeah, now imagine that but in blue, larger, and it being pissed off at you. A scary sight and probably a good time to wear brown pants.
Not trying to be rude but I like the old one better.
7161343 So did so many others, but when a moderator tells you to change it because it is similar to someone elses story, you don't really get a choice of telling them no and to piss off. I had to grin, bear my teeth and grit it out. I am posting the original onto FanFiction for the time being.
YES!
Will the vex gates be coming back?
I thought it was a genius move to incorporate fallen tech into the world.
7162885 earlier he stated that thy will not because he said and i quote "Vex gates OP Pls Nurf"

7173170 That's the Dead Sea? I thought it would look like a normal sea and can't see the other side. At least it isn't colored red and can't see where your stepping.
7173566 i like storys were the character that is a BOSS is that not a weak grunt or foot soldier because he is a leader if he's is getting his ass HANDED to him then that is a failure of a leader that is SUPPOSED TO BE EXTREMELY STRONG and everyone under him is WEAK to which means that guardians are WEAK to which means the light thing is WEAK too i mean come on you even said he showed him how to HARNESS darkness not every thing he knows so that SOMBRA CAN WHOOP HIS ASS when he should have a MASSIVE understanding of it which means he should be beating SOMBRA SO BAD IT MAKES A MUD CRAB LOOK LIKE A FINAL BOSS i liked the story better before the rewrite because he had the strength of a actual BOSS not a grunt-no a mud crab cause a grunt is STONGER
7131947 i find that mod to be a idiot who ever he is cause all of the stories on this site are the same in some way him taking it down and telling you that is like telling some one to take a story off cause it has ponies in it like EVERY OTHER ONE i say if he does it to one person he should do it to every one else that hass a story why cause they are all the same because of one massive detail PONIES i hate mods that do that on anything he shouldn't be a mod cause if he does that cause of similarities then he is a idiot he should do the same at every other story on this site cause they are similar to
7194972 yes but the mods where saying that it started off very similarly, their are only a handful of ways to get their, by train falling into town, appearing in town and coming in from the blizzard, after that its going to always look the same under sombras rule. he is very weak tho considering that he is the thoughest boss in the game and his armor and shields should be strong enough that a few darkness crystals can't break threw
7206436 my point still stands almost every creature going to equestria is the same
7206479 yes but that has nothing to do with the problem which was that there storys where similar, not that there where ponys which was never the issue
7206480 the ponies thing was an example i mean i have seen other stories with the exact same entry of a human or creature in equestria im not talking about displaced stories they are fine but i mean other human in equestria or creature that are the exact same character meeting same sentences even same happenings just with different beings to make it seem different
7206503 that still is not the problem, the problem is that thy both went there, relitivly saw the same thing, and helped the same people witht the same line of events, im not agreeing with drop bear, just saying that you have very bad examples, your trying to give an example like oh he used humans in his story so thats plagiarism or included a state or building which is the equivilant to your example which is trash
7206616 you are making my statements complicated i was just pointing out that the mod told Roran Dreamon to change the story while other mods havent done the same to other stories that are exactly the same just dif heros and villains but other than that are exactly the same in every way and the ponies thing was just a example to that how the mod said the story was to similar when he/she should look at other stories that are almost exactly the same through the whole story as other stories
7206634 the pony thing was a very bad example because i could talk about obama and my paper would be removed for having him included just like talking about ponys
