Energy out is equal to or less than energy in. The universe obeys simple and unbending laws. Magic is not an exception. Where does it come from? How are ponies able to utilize it while so many other creatures aren't? What are Celestia and Luna?

Another new story? Why not continue A New Era? I was looking forward to more of that.

:fluttershbad:Just when I gets out, they pull me back in! I'm game for another one of your amazing stories, but I have to ask, will this be as convoluted a plot as double rainbow? I need to know if you're going to verbally molest my brain ahead of time so I can prepare myself. Otherwise this is looking good so far, I'm trackin it!

Well this looks like it's gonna be fun... *grabs popcorn*

I apologize, but the idea for this one was just so much more appealing to me at the time. A New Era had only the one chapter, and the second chapter was giving me a lot of trouble with one particular scene, and not a whole lot of views/reads, so I didn't think I'd be doing that much damage. ALSO, it's on hiatus, not cancelled. Forgive me?

This story will be much less convoluted than Double Rainbow was. To compensate, the subject matter will be significantly more ridiculous.

Oh god, this is brilliant!

31048 I was never mad at you, no worries.

I kind of feel that is kind of your best work really... The first chapter alone is detailed and the best writing style you've done thus far. On top of that it's a much more appropriate chapter length. (Double Rainbow's 1,000 word average chapter length just wasn't enough a majority of the time), plus I felt it was a dip into a more serious story with adventure.

I don't like the decision not to go that route because it's "harder" or not getting as much attention. You're the writer, not the readers, when you write only what's popular, then there's little point in writing. I don't know, food for thought anyways.

officially followed, loved your double rainbow story, even if my mind wanted to kill itself afterwards

♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪

Discord being all philosophical. Food for thought: His entire existence is irony.

The princess is dead!

...

LONG LIVE THE PRINCESS!

Aww...I'll miss Discord.

♫♥I look forward to reading what happens next in your story♥♪

32962 I'M IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Dis-logic at its best! (or worst?)
well a good (if sad) story so far

Very interesting! I like, I like. :pinkiehappy:

Get out of my chair

It's nice that you've added that Clarke quote at the beginning, because I'm getting VERY powerful Space Odyssey vibes from all of this.

Your writing style, grammar and word use arepretty good, with minimal, negligible faults. I'm just wasting time though, time to get into the meat if your fic, the plot itself.

I like this. I really like the concept of Discord having a kind of his own and being a guardian force. Celestia's passing was decently handled, though I think you offed Luna perhaps a little too quickly. I find it rather interesting concept that ponies dive so deep into how they and magic functions. Really, the best way I can describe my feelings towards your fic is that it's interesting and sparks curiosity. It's not massively powerful, though that's probably because I'm already familiar with some of these concept, thanks to some sci-fi. With that said, not being powerful ain't a bad thing though, because at the same time, you hold the attention of the reader nonetheless.

All in all, I hope you'll continue soon. This was a nice read, I might give the rest of your stuff a shot as well in the meantime.

First reaction to end: AAAAAAARGH!

You. You did this. You created this incredibly interesting story. And now, I have to wait. *sigh* Dang it. It was just getting really fun... Oh well. Time to sit here and wait patiently for another chapter. I was really into it and everything. Also, I don't see any major errors in your writing, if any. I don't think you should worry so much about it.

Now I'm excited for what happens next. *bounces in seat*

Bold philosophical statements of impermanence and existence. I love it!
I will be re-reading the statements of Discord for quite some time.
Thank you so very much for the food for thought. :twilightsmile:

Wow. You sure were having fun with Star Trek references in this chapter.

Discord as a Monolith is several dozen kinds of awesome, as are science ponies in space. Of course, the question of the watchmakers (or, in this case, the draconequus breeders,) remains. I look forward to more.

YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED

Did anyone pack the shotguns? No? Ok then, lets do this boss fight!

70392 RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

I was suddenly filled with images of Borg!Pinkie Pie.

Yes. Just YES! :pinkiehappy: PLEASE UPDATE SOON! My curiosity has been hooked and I must read more! *tracks* :pinkiehappy: :heart:

For reasons I can't quite explain I am enjoying this far too much for my own good. :twilightsmile:
It's probably because it's ponies in space which is something I don't see too often... if at all...

DANG IT! What is WITH you and these cliffhangers!

*sigh* Sorry. I overreacted. Obviously, I'm just so interested in the story that when it abruptly ends like that, it throws me off. Which means it's good. Very, very, very good. Continue the good work, my good fellow.

Please update. also 5 STAR.

For the ponies it is a truth. For the the humans it's finding out a metaphor is a truth "Friendship is Magic". I get it :twilightsmile:

Wow! Very much looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Idiots. Discord is right.

I don't agree with the eradication of an intelligent species, OR the destruction of known reality, but I don't feel that Discord should be treated like he's entirely in the wrong here. He's got righteous anger and goals, even if his means are not all that justifiable. (Also, Fluttershy met a human before this event? Something in this story I missed, or a reference to another work?)

I think everyone is being tested and it not the humans or Discord who is doing the testing. Or the ponies :twilightsmile:

I look at the title and read the description... hey, I've been looking for something like this...
I see the picture... heh, I love that joke...
I see the author... where have I seen that name before...
I check the author's profile... you wrote Double Rainbow oh my god...
I type comment #42... :rainbowkiss:

You didn't miss anything. She isn't talking about before this event. The one human she's referring to is Simon. I'm sorry if that's slightly unclear, I just had to try to fluff her up as best I could because she's been way too quiet for most of this and that's not quite fair to her.

125602
Oh... favorited by a famous one... perplexing. Given the area you generally seem to write in around here, I can guess why you originally gave this story a chance, but might I ask why you're still on it? The concept may be intriguing, but the execution is awful! I'm a TERRIBLE writer. This story is absolutely full of dry and boring descriptions and little handwaves. Then you get to the most recent chapters where it turns into a series of one sided 'dialogues' that are really just massive expositionary information dumps...

I could go on all day about what I've done wrong, but I'd like to know what you think I've done RIGHT.

Chat, why so misanthropic and prejudiced? Don't you realize that's such a human thing to do? :trollestia:

Okay, having read it now, I can say that it is extremely obvious that the universe they are in is the fanfiction itself, and the one really pulling the strings is the author.
Which is why it will be something completely different, because that would be far too predictable.
But wait! It not being predictable is predictable! So that means...
Y'know, I'm just going to stop now, because I know that no matter what I'm not going to figure it out - unless I do because not figuring it out is too predictable.
You need to write original fiction so that you can make money off of this. Your username is completely inaccurate... because being accurate would be predictable :derpytongue2:

o.O the theories on chaos make sense to me and i already knew a few facts about chaos but... i guess he does have some sort of ailment looking at things from that angle, freaky.

as for what i know of the balance of chaos and order, i'm not 100% sure of this but it seems to me that one can't exist without the other in some way (removing order or chaos from the equation would destroy all of existence... more or less), true there is no pattern or real logic to chaos as its i.e. pure unpredictability and... i've lost track of what i was going to say next for now :/ though a lot of this chapted makes a good bit of sense to me (poor discord :pinkiesad2: what a horrible curse)

lol oh this is rich, you've in effect described the ending of the 3rd Star Ocean videogame here, granted its under a different theme with mlp:fim involved but its still the same overall. (i should know as pretty much any game i play is annoying memorized on the first play through >.> and so i know all about that game)

sorry to spoil this but ah well.

Quick change, replace the ponies with humans/humanoids, discord would be acting as our creator in this position (given they're current disliking if i read that right).
In the game we humans advanced far enough to cross dimensions and go outside of 3D space or what we percieve to be reality then enter 4D space or the "Real World", once that happened our "creators" or gods as we see it see us as a threat and as error/bugs in the system and so seek to "delete" us. Long story short, that plan backfires as the protagonists of the game defeat our God but not before the game (our world) gets wiped, however, despite being erased we still exist and only then realize that reality is what we percieve it to be and um.... i'm losing track of what i was saying there... and that is whats really... real, i think that was my point. i think :unsuresweetie:

a few differences to the comparison but it still fits here (obvious would be discord and ponies)

edit: forgot to mention, the 4D beings in star ocean? yeah, they're humans, the same as us so that oughta give everyone who reads this comment a bit to think of hehehe (god created us in his image sound familiar? i'm not trying to start a fuss, just saying some stuff about that game series is all)

ugh, too much to remember, should've stopped and sorted that out more thoroughly before typing it :/ i know of over 500-1k+ games so i remember a lot and yet sometimes i can't remember specific details or they get mixed up so i may've gotten a tad... off, there somewhere

125602 agreed, completely

This has been put off for way too long, and I'm not actually making it better. I'm just running. The closer to the end I got, the less I liked it and the more 'locked-in' it got. Hopefully it isn't as horrible as I think it is.

Ohshi, my bad. I forgot to mark it complete. That's the end. Srsly. See my previous comment where I hoped it was less awful than I thought it was.

This is incredibly amazing, as i expected.

This is what was going through my mind:
Yer a wizard, Daniel.
