    So if someone asked you "Would you like to go to Equestria," what would your response be? Probably along the lines of HELL YEAH, right?

    A small tip. Always know exactly what your getting into before letting strangers send you on an extraterrestrial journey. Being in Equestria does not actually mean IN Equestria. Nor does it mean you'll be a pony. Or human. Or even something from the show. And it definitely does not mean everything is sunshine and rainbows.

    This place is a cat and mouse world. Luckily, I have one huge advantage.

    And then there were six. Great story you got going here. I really can't wait to see how you tie it in to the rest of the universe. I'm also really interested in how you plan on motivating your character. Griffin is ultimately a good guy, Echo has a good conscience, Ember is currently vengeful, Knightmare seems to be in it for the lolz right now, and Zeta is a self serving asshole. Now where will Khajitt fit in?

    if there was ever one thing human would care the most about when losing it's there arms and hands. Loss of an arm has got to hurt the psyche bad. Do you plan on meeting with Gearmund for a replacement? Nadene could put in a good word?

    It was nice, but I'm rather unhappy that you included the others in this fic, as I'm not a big fan of their characters (apart from Echo, Echo rocks), and the way he went about his meeting with Griffin seemed to be the best.

    Anyway, chapter: You had the traditional OMG I just killed someone! which is nice, because usually writers here don't care when their characters kill (which is ironic for the MLP fandom- love and tolerate bro). A little emotional talk, which was nice, not the traditional waaambulance, but something more in character for the catman who gave the talk.

    However Nadine seemed to be an awkward addition as some people won't have read griffin to find her anything more than an irritation.

    Deity lady's also a nice touch, do you eat her, or eat her out? and the way she's tied into the past that we shalt not talk about is also a nice touch.

    Anyway, fun chapter. I like how you had Somnambula mention the four that were there already. I think killing four cannibals is slightly more impressive than a pack of timber wolves, but who am I to argue with a witch? I do enjoy the psychological break down of killing. Gives your character a nice set up for a good conscience. Nice inclusion of the Vren tribe as well.

    And at least Nadene didn't call you Mango Jack :rainbowlaugh:

    There are house cats in Equestria, but I digress. Really like Khajiit's character and by far getting an arm removed must be absolutely crappy. Next to Echo's muteness at the claws of Ahuizotl this has got to be the worst beginning in Equestria. :raritydespair:

    "What would paint do for a colorblind species?" Paint would still be useful as a protective coating, though that might not be necessary depending on the kind of wood or other preservation methods used. It could also change the lightness to better match the rest of the arm. But anyway, there are different kinds of color blindness. Real-world cats are usually red-green colorblind, which still leaves them with the dichromatic color vision common among mammals (most humans are trichromatic). The considerable usefulness of color vision among jungle-dwelling omnivores seems to be why primates developed a third cone type. Complete color blindness (monochromatic vision) is very rare among land-dwelling species. No real problem if that's what you want to do, I'm just curious about how the cat people relate to things in real life and the MLP world.

    I was actually trying to stay close to the source material with that. While researching Griffin the Griffin for anything I could find on the cat people, I found a line saying they used berries to give potions scent so they could tell them apart since they were colorblind. This meant they couldn't see red (health potions) or blue (mana potions) so I just assumed they were completely colorblind instead of partial like most cats.

    Are the swords supposed to be made out of Stygian Iron? that seems like the obvious conclusion as they seem to resemble it. Do you have an actual name for the weapons? I'm kind of guessing one here and didn't know if you'd already got one planned out (of course, if they're legendary weapons it only makes since for them to be known by multiple names)

    "I did the only thing I could do. Jump and pray to whatever gods would listen. Jesus! Buddha! Spongebob! HELP ME! What? There wasn’t time to be picky."

    This made me laugh. At the moment of reading this sentance, I was listening to the sound of spongebob. :derpytongue2:

    >>812000 Not every good HiE fic gets into ponies right away, it adds more to the "Holy crap I'm in Equestria" vibe if the person has to actually seek out pony contact, rather than just being dumped in the middle of Ponyville or Canterlot.

    >>812286 That thought is awesome. The picture is even better.

    Although Khajiit are very awesome, (with the right stuff, you can kill a wolf on expert difficulty with One. Punch.), do you reckon the voice is kind of irritating for them?

    Oh, by the way, where'd you get the awesomely badass picture?
