FINALLY AN UPDATE! BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR THIS!
Edit: A bit shorter than what I was hoping for with the 2 week wait, and was hoping it would be a confrontation between Echo and Balto. Completely forgot about Frost myself. Can't wait for next week! Also can't believe I got first, just got home from my nieces T-ball game.
Do we really live in a day and age where people no longer understand basic fire safety?
2607202 You have seen the internet, do you really need to ask?

Ooh, ooh! I got an idea for a name! Ice Shard!
Ya know, because of his ice magic and because he's a shard of a soul?
Wow, I feel stupid.
It could be worse. You could deal with parents who don't supervise their kids on the 4th of July... yet. That being said, I hope you get better soon. Can't have the manliest author fimfiction knows down for too long, can we?
Damn this chapter sent shivers down my spine. Love it. That spell Lovers Light sounds awesome!
At least you get to loot people's homes if they catch on fire thanks to old fire pits. You do get to do that right?
2607224
I admit, I did kind of set myself up to be disappointed with that one.
2607296 No, that's actually a pretty good idea.
Well, I think so, anyway
Redemption for the pony formerly known as Frost Snap. I like it.
As always, I read these chapters with the zeal of a stoner bruttualy murdering a package of Chips Ahoy.
2607521
In my opinion, it lack originality.
And the long awaited day is finally here!
The descriptions of Tartarus and Greyguard (love the name) were topnotch, really gave a feel for the scope and the haunting beauty of the place. Frost Snap (or whatever he's calling himself now) had some great character development and the presence of his wife's soul threw me for a loop. Was not expecting Ahuizotl to be working with the Warden, though it makes perfect sense all things considered. Last but certainly not least, we get to the Greymare herself. I absolutely loved everything about her, from the broken horn (which I was expecting) to the shriveled wings and the mysterious, slightly melancholic personality. Appearance-wise I was expecting more of a war-torn veteran covered in scars and sporting armor, but the beautiful and peaceful "Queen of the Underworld" vibe was delivered expertly.
Yay! Redemption possibility! I have to say I'm a sucker for Redemption... and ohYeah... I know that feeling of finishing school and then realizing that you're done with something you loved.
2607540 So? Things become cliches for a reason, you know
2607386 I don't see why you wouldn't. I mean, you're saving their lives/homes, you deserve yo get a little in return. Right?
2607202
You're assuming they had any understanding to begin with, when the fact is the majority never did, and never will.
There's a reason Scouts have to get certified to build fires

Warden was surprisingly easy for me to fit into the story. While she might not get as much screen time as the other movers and shakers, she is definitely to be considered a powerful influence, dangerous and highly invested in the Game.
2607152
Some of the greatest things I've ever read were less than ten words. I want to make these an average of 4k words, per chapter.
Deal with it.
A bit shorter than i would have expected, but still top-notch quality as always.
Hopefully we can have another chapter on time next week if your lazy ass can be bothered to do it
I like this afterlife you've built, Rust. I don't think I've seen anything like it yet in FimFiction. And yet another mention of The Fount? Shit is going to go down at The Fount, I already know it. Plus, Ahuizotl is the Warden's pet? I wonder what their relationship is like...
Also, I keep forgetting you're a firefighter. Whenever you come to mind I just think Pirate and only that.
Fantastic job as always, can't wait to see more, you're an inspiration, blah blah blah. I know you've heard it before.
2608742
6.5k is short...? The fuck, man.
2609181
It was almost 3k less than last time.
Don't raise the standards then lower them again
Is Game of Thrones really that good? This is like the fiftieth 'Winter is Coming' I've seen this week.
Anyways, good chapter, as always. It was nice to see an update after the two week's wait.
EDIT: Or was it three weeks? I don't know, but I practically live for this story now.
Tsk, this is why you don't set demons and/or failed souls in charge of the afterlife. They ally with evil and form conspiracies of their own.
The Egyptian gods knew their stuff. Anubis was totally dedicated to his task! All was for Justice and Ma'at.
I didn't know that Frost Snap was a Stark
Love the new pic(is it new? cause if its not new then I'm just soooooo observant)
2609511
9.5 wasn't a standard, it's the longest chapter I've ever written for the story by a healthy margin. Silly Garion, trix are for kids!
2611198
He is rather grim, isn't he?
Dang, I had forgotten that Frost's soul was stuck in some sort of limbo...guess that sort of thing happens after a long period of no updates.
Still, I'm glad to see he's on some path of redemption. As much of a pain in the ass as he was in the first story, he could do with a second chance.
That was a... heh... heart-warming chapter, honestly. Very nice indeed... he wasn't completely lost, even at the end... beautiful.
Also, my condolences on the injury. Be careful, and stay safe!
Also also, how are you otherwise? Missed you, bud!
2611439
dude I'm sailing on sunshine
2611144 hey, dont go hatin' on all the other gods out there. id say that the irish had it down pat in terms of gods and mythology. you cant get better than them. lugh for the win!
monty python references are never a bad thing. and i was wanting to see what was going on with frosty.
although, i dont like some of the ways in which you handle the chapter...but hey, im here for the humor. you gave up on taking the story all the way to its full potential, so entropy is the only reason im still around. do what you will to this story, if its not being writen to its full potential, then i dont care HOW it turns out, it wont be 100% and i wont be satisfiied either way. im beyond caring at this point.
that, and the fact that even though you DONT plan to bring the story to 100% fruition of its potential, that 100% is still worlds beyond anything ive ever read before. universes beyond. so id say that the 15% of it that you DO plan on utilizing and exploring in your writing is still a pretty damn good story. id rather a story have 15% of a potential score of 1,000,000 than 90% of a potential score of 10,000.
just dont fuck up the canon of the universe, yeah? mess with your story all you want, but the addition of another alicorn, the whole tararus thing, the idea of pony rebirth...thats messing with the canon of the show. im not a fan of this chapter because of that.
also, that whole megazoid-dreamtime-pony-thing freaks me out. largely because i have no idea what the fuck its supposed to be. or why it takes an interest in echo. get some background into it, yeah? the more i read about it, the less sure i am about it. and it messes with canon-again.
now that i think about it, youve take some liberties with canon in this story. well...cant say im alright with it, but even though you wreck some of the metaphors and suggestions that are implied by canon, you still manage to pull off a helluva good tale. even if it can only be taken at face value, nothing more.
2607540 a name should be difinitive of an individual. there is a reason truenames hold power in some ledgends and stories- because a truname is almost like the essense of that individual, the thing that makes it what it is. you define your truename, but your truename defines you. but it is an interesting proposition. is there a name that truly defines our as-yet nameless pony? can we give frosty here a truename? can we compact his essence into a word? well, we would have to go about finding his essence; figuring out exactly what he is; exactly what defines him as a person (pony, sorry) before we do that.
naming something--truly and honestly naming something--is harder than many might think. but i hope this little hint helps everyone.
and yes, i do have a guess on what his name might be. but im holdin' out on it. better to let others think me a fool than to open my mouth and prove it, no?
2612183 Granted I'm a bit biased but I have to disagree with you on the introduction of another alicorn messing with the show's canon. If the show had kept Celestia and Luna as the only two alicorns in existence, then I'd be inclined to agree that any OC alicorns have little to no justification. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, depending on your perspective) the introduction of Cadence (and later, Twilicorn) established that not only are there other alicorns, they're still being born. Thus, pretty much all bets are off in regards to how many alicorns there actually are, how powerful they are, and how they're related to one another.
In regards to Tartarus, I can understand and somewhat agree with you that it's messing with the show's canon. From the show, all we know is that Tartarus is a place where a bunch of ancient evils are imprisoned and it's guarded by Cerberus. The (former) story where Warden comes from plays this more or less straight, but I can't disagree with Rust's interpretation here. The fact is there isn't enough information in the show to prove or disprove fanon interpretations, and this lack of solid information opens the doors for writers to implement their own ideas. Personally, I think the situation has been handled quite well and am willing to suspend my own interpretations of the place in favor of enjoying Rust's.
Reincarnation is a touchy subject and as there's nothing from the show concerning the pony afterlife, there's not much that can be said that wouldn't be fanon interpretation. I like the idea off reincarnation on principle, and have absolutely no issues with it being integrated into fictional works. Were the show to explain to us exactly what happens when ponies die (highly unlikely but not outside the realm of possibility) then you could argue that Rust's ideas here are wrong. As it stands, there is simply not enough information to make an argument for or against the subject of reincarnation or the nature of the afterlife.
2612355 hmmm...until im able to think about my response for a while, im not gonna comment. i just know that this chapter breaks canon somewhere. im just gettin that vibe. im gonna find out where the disconnect is if it kills me.
You know...you make me wanna draw Warden......the way you describe her features is kind of....enticing... :I
2611255
I am from Britian
TRIX ARE FOR NO ONE
2612610
To hell with canon, I do what I want.
2613528
Ooooohhhh myyyyyyy....
Please, please-please PLEASE start posting shorter chapters.
2613837 No that was not a sexual way....I mean it's enticing to draw dammit ._.
2611928 I have to share my mind with part of Sekhmet. If I don't expound upon her divine family's perfection, she'll do mean things to me!
It's a strange thought indeed, coming up on the end of something you've been doing for some time. Be it High school, a job, living in a certain place, anything, the human mind generally does not play nicely with change. I've always thought it to be ridiculous when people genuinely complain about school- you get to spend several hours a day in a big building with lots of people you are friends with and the only thing you're expected to do as a result is learn some stuff. Hell, most of the time you don't even have to pay. I know I will dearly miss it upon graduation, and more people ought to as well.
Anyway, let's comment about the story, shall we? I like the idea of redemption you've got going on here, and all the underworld sort of stuff. Hopefully someone (perhaps the soon-to-be-renamed-and-redeemed Frost Snap) will teach Ahuitzotl a lesson soon, he's really getting to be an insufferable prick. And what's going on with everyone in the land of the living, I wonder? It seems as though an expedition into Roam is imminent, yet we are down in Tartarus watching used-to-be-Frost Snap. I can only assume that this means that he will have a significant part in the upcoming events. And speaking of Roam, I do so hope that the slavers in Roam (Roamans?) get what's coming to them. Slavers in fiction really tick me off, and seeing them brought to justice is just so sweet.
2609511 The word count of chapters in fan fics almost always undulates, this is just something you'll have to get used to. A good story can only be expressed properly in the proper amount of words, how ever many that may be for the chapter being written. Besides, it's a bit unfair to complain to the author about raising and lowering standards when the quality of the story itself remains unchanged, don't you think?
2615585
*wink wink*
Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me.
AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO SEES THIS
2616983 No I'm serious >_>
2616063
It was just a joke at his expense. Its the only way I know how to communicate
Lol starwars
2618566 Ah, sorry for getting the wrong impression. I probably should not have said anything about that in the first place, not knowing you and all that
