Sorry for the delay, and all that bother. This chapter was a bitch to write. I don't like how it came out, but it is necessary to set up a lot of other stuff.
I do not know when the next chapter will be written.
HAZZAH FIRST POST time to read
YEESSSSSS UPDATES
New chapter beforebi have to go to work. Hooray.-reads through- heheh. Entropy stoner.
YUS! Updates! This chapter was very nice, and I do hope you have the Ghostbusters on speed dial, it helps sometimes when you have an infestation... plus they are really cheap.
Ginger can see the dead? And the dead can see her back? Methinks the Grey be soon in coming...
Fuck homework, I'm reading Echo.

You may not like it, but I damn well enjoyed it! Funny and awesome and heartbreaking and relaxing in turns, and I loved every moment of it. This may have taken a while, but it was WELL worth the wait! Take all the time you need, Rust, real life comes first.
*takkatakkatakka: I see dead people. *enter.
Whoa. I can see everything..
the update.... it is GOOD!
1285157 real life you sometimes want to get away from, wiether it be in a book, or in the computer, but I mostly want to get away from real life feel important somewhere else, and enjoy my fantasy and not worry about my future
And more tragedy is revealed to have befallen Ginger. Give the lady a break already
Great chapter, I'm loving the intricacy of the pack dynamics, and Yeller is both a very likable character, and I'm guessing a very useful plot device. Kinda thinking of him how Faust was originally going to use Zecora.
The pacings been a little bit strange so far, but I can understand it with all the setup you've been having to do in these early chapters. The character development has been really enjoyable, if a little heart wrenching, and slightly disturbing in Gingers case. She's on a runaway train to a serious mental breakdown in my opinion. And half of Disarray equals one whole Charlie Sheen, eh?
Can't even begin to describe how excited I am at how your new story is shaping up, or how much I'm looking forward to more!
*Sekhmet hisses as Entropy annoys her* So now that little prick is playing the game. This game of unadulterated, cold, thoughtless evil. Manipulating lives, leading uncounted creatures to their deaths in the name of power, the willingness to wipe out a world of living things for the sake of advancing themselves. And Entropy condescendingly declares himself unwilling to play by the rules. Fool! Does he think the others won't do the same once they find out? Ignorant child. They are all the same, obeying the rules only as long as it suits them. Such selfish, short-sighted offspring were the reason reproduction among the eldest gods was forbidden of old.
Gods; they have the audacity to call themselves gods when their behavior is that of demons. Semantics, yes, but that makes all the difference. What makes one a god and one a demon other than intent of purpose and responsibility in the use of power? And how many of these god children became demons which I slew?
A god cherishes the lives of those in its dominion, it seeks to give them happiness and love in their brief lives. Ever the heart of a god pities those who suffer and die, and both sorrows for and reviles those who chose to pursue wicked deeds to the ruin of many. A demon toys with them for its own amusement and tosses them aside whenever circumstances suit it.
The entities in this cruel game, save Celestia whom it seems has begun to see the wrongs they have wrought, are unworthy of their power. They are no better than the tyrants throughout the humans' history, no better than those degenerates who pit animals against each other, delighting as they tear each other apart. They have not even had the decency to give their 'champions' the purpose of the battle. They have lied repeatedly, deception after deception. There is no truth in them. And these are worse even than humans, for instead of setting the combatants in a simulated world or a battle arena, such that none others would be harmed by their stupid vanity, they have chosen instead a world rich with life, resulting in vast levels of collateral damage! It is appalling! Such monsters deserve no power and no authority! Gambling pieces of their power like addicts in a casino, ignoring any responsibility for their actions. Feh! They are primitive! Not a one of them is necessary to any world!
*She Who is Mighty, She Before Whom Evil Trembles, She Who Upholds Ma'at seethes with her infamous rage* I am forbidden from intervening while this game is going on. I, at least, will obey the ancient laws set down at the Beginning. But, there is nothing forbidding me from acting once the game is over. *her eyes narrow and she spits the next words with venom* There is always more to a story than 'the end', and I shall gladly provide the narrative of their long punishment as they experience my wrath. The little divine worm that thinks itself the winner shall soon find how much it's going to lose. For the other Elders are aware now. They have followed My reconstitution and have wakened to find their precious cosmos coming apart at the seams. And We have had enough of these irresponsible infants ruining what We took so great care to craft.

Disarray is very fun to write. I can literally make him do ANYTHING and it would still be in-character. Not to mention the shit he can get away with due to his status as a Royal, and his own magical prowess, which will be expanded upon in the next chapter.
1285447
...Did...did you write that just now? I'm literally in awe of your prowess.
But, be warned. Disarray's motives, as well as his intent with ultimate power, are yet unknown. And, at the moment, he has done nothing but come along for the ride, occasionally offering a helping hand every now and then. Don't be hasty. Treebeard knows what's up.
Last time I checked, I wasn't dead, but okay.
Anyway, great job as usual. I rate you six out of five mustaches.
HELL YES! Update! Great chapter
THE TWO GREAT ONES HAVE RETURNED ON THE SAME DAY! GHOSTCLAWS AND THE TRAVELER! REJOICE! REJOICE! REJOICE!
“Porkchop sandwiches!” Entropy affirmed, nodding sagely.
wat.
Cocaine in blunts. Wow.
1285494
You are, oddly, the second such person I've encountered who happens to bear the same name as characters I've created...I apologize for killing you off back in the first book. No hard feelings, I hope?
I have to admit, I'm not sure I still enjoy this series as much as I did the first one. The first series seemed so carefree and, in my own opinion, simple and optimistic. It's like taking what used to be the Narnia series and turning it into a Game of Thrones series. The Legend of Echo is a whole lot more gritty, less optimistic, and has a lot of sexual references. It seems like everybody has an agenda, and is more desperate than in the previous series. None of the new diamond dog characters have grown on me, and to be frank, I dislike the whole pack dynamic thing. I guess the Legend just went in a whole 'nother direction I just didn't expect.
Your writing and prose is as great as ever Rust, but I'm sorry to say I've lost interest in this particular story. Regardless, I hope you enjoy success in your writing and life, and that this story comes to a successful conclusion.
-The Specialist
1285447 Yay! Humans aren't the absolute worst! Though, being one rung up from the bottom ain't that hot either.
meh take your time me rusty guy if you try and force the next chapter out it will only be bad
1285646
Porkchop Sandwiches! Oh Shit! GET THE FUCK OUTTA-
WTF *BOOOOOOOOMM*
"Already there was already a warm welcoming between the packmates".
Only mistake I noticed.
Omg an update!
*proceeds to read*
So Entropy and Disarray are two different beings? Two sides fo the same coin makes a little bit more sense now. Entropy creeps me out. Kinda reminds of a serial killer.
1285693
Actually, you hit the nail in the head, mate. Game of Thrones was a large influence in how this was developed. Of course, I could understand why that wouldn't be someone's cup of tea. Either way, I do somewhat regret moving away from the more simplistic nature of the Ballad, but - I digress: I wanted to write this to be a much darker continuation from the get-go. There are various topics covered (or will be) that would be considered taboo or controversial, and I wanted to further explore each of the characters motivations and their place in the group. I guess one could say that if the Ballad is the sweet, eccentric younger member of the family, then the Legend is it's grumpy, unshaven older brother.
I respect your choice to look elsewhere for more pony fiction. One can't cater to all the readers at once, after all. If I might make a recommendation, then you'd be smart to give a shot at Treasure in the West, by Divebomb.
i want Ginger Snap to die
SOOOOO excited to be able to read this! And I have to say I enjoyed the little grooming bit at the end. It was a rather sweet moment. Of course Ginger's questioning of Echo has me wondering: when will the cat be let out of the bag? And when people start finding out that Echo only wears the body of Diamond Dog but on the inside he isn't... who will be the ones to find out? And what will their reactions be? I'm not to worried about Daring Do having a problem with it seeing as how she really knows him better than anyone... prob even himself... and she's also older and wiser. Looking forward to reading more!!
yes! legend updated *does impromtu dance*
1286329
no way, Ginger is like to OP to die , but i'm willing to compromise and approve any NEAR death experiences , it might change her attitude for the better. Also, wasn't Echo's salute done with two finger's back in ballad? Bozo's confused
1285668 my name in real life is chance... and i can cook... I honestly think you're stalking me...
Another amazing chapter Rust! Also cocaine in blunts? Is Disarray a royal Charlie Sheen incarnate?
1285447
I have no idea what that was, but for some reason I am incapable of fathoming, I like it.
1286525
The singular finger is his middle finger. He once flipped Daring off and she asked what it meant, he had a sudden thought of thousands of diamond dogs flipping off Celestia if he said "It's a sign of respect". So he did. Now it's the D-Dog salute.
1286869
Well i can't remember were the reference was or even if there was one... so instead of nitpicking I'll just go read the Ballad again
also hi, and thanks for replying to my comment.
1286062
I see it Like Harry Potter. The first few books were carefree, but as time goes on the books grew darker. This is a literary theme that shoes the loss of childhood innocence, and as the innocence is lost, the world slowly grows darker. Just look at whatever country you live in, be it America, Canada, England, or any other country. When you grew up, you saw them as forces of good. but as time goes on, you can no longer turn a blind eye to what your country does and you are forced to accept it. There are no heroes in real life, if any existed they'd be dead and gone. Black and white don't exist, only shades of grey (and not the good porno book).
1286869 Well, this as this is part of a massive multi-universe hyper-story with so many 'lesser' gods involved (and in the legends, they are the ones who are always causing trouble like this), I just decided to demonstrate what the response of one of the oldest and most responsible gods would be. I have studied Sekhmet's lore for two decades, and I have quite a good idea of her personality.
In a few words: This game would seriously piss her off.
duuuuuuuuude.
splitting up into multiple bodies.
So good for Getting Stuff Done.
It's like.. multitasking ya know.
but with extra multi.
1287233 Fortunately for the world, in 1976 I was born.
The one true hero has risen at last!
AND NOW I SHALL HEROICALLY EXTERMINATE THE HUMAN RACE!!! HEE HEE HEE HEE!!
Forget the shades of grey nonsense! Chose your path and stick to it! The wishy-washy undecides will be left behind! Fortune favors the bold and strong of will! Innocence is lost, but that doesn't mean it never was and never can be again. If we have no path upward to follow, the best we can ever hope for is to remain flat. So build your path with your own two hooves if one is not already set. If all you can do is stack one brick upon another, it's still moving things upward.
Not that I have hope in 'humanity'. That would be misplaced. No, I have hope in myself and my own sense of purpose. So long as I will not be swayed, I can stand firmer than the rest. The winds and tides break around me, and I shall not be moved!
(Dude, I rock.)
Echo should fly at some point... Like with a glider or something...?
1287527
True, you can choose your own path and maybe make something out of yourself. But what is lost along the way? Innocence is always the first to be lost, but what of character? of moral values? Children who may one day be talking of recycling will grow up to be lobbyists who are paying off politicians to allow pollution to spread, all for the sake of saving a little cash. or what of the little girl who's friend's father wad laid off and vowed to never do that if she was in the bosses position. Years later she'd be forced to lay off thousands to help her bank stay afloat rather than suck up her pride and take a bailout. Or what of, and this is a prime example, the boy who was abandoned by his parents and grew up in an orphanage. He vowed to not have other kids lives be as bad as his. He grew up to create a global electronics empire that has small Chinese kids making his products in harsh environments for extremely small wages.. Do you know who this man was? Steve Jobs. Innocence is always the first to go, and when it is finally lost, everything that makes up who you were as a child is soon to follow.
1287585 And yet, I have barely changed from the time I was a child.
Though, I lost my innocence with the first words I spoke: my grandmother stumbled on the pavement and I said, "Did you have a nice trip?"
I was BORN a troll! So, you might say I'm becoming MORE innocent, as I now use my troll powers only for good (Well, ok, I admit I'm still gonna destroy mankind, but that can be argued as a good thing, at least as far as space aliens from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" are concerned. The original version, not the crappy stupid environmentalist one. Aliens don't give a shit about our planet as long as we're not threatening theirs.)
1287634
Well then you are the 1%
1287327
In all honesty, I never really studied, understood, or even payed much attention to the concept or lore of Elder Gods. And while I get the base idea behind the Chessverse, the actual driving force, whatever the end goal of the "game" is, and intricacies I assume are woven into it, are also lost on me. But with a reread of the original post it kind of sounds a bit like the Greek Goddess Hera. At least in personality, if she ever actually said that, it would be pretty hypocritical......And I just forgot where I was going with this.
1287114
Great choice, 'tis a fine story and well worth the time. Enjoy it. Also, you're welcome,
1287327Rust already said that he is not participating in the Chess Game of the Gods.
1287634 now THAT was a movie.
1287686 Entropy is clearly playing some sort of game. Whatever it is, it's bad news for poor innocent ponies caught in the crossfire. Hence, it is evil and shall be opposed!
Man, thats what, -4 Int altogether now for Ginger from her perks? Is it going to show in her character that she's gradually losing intelligence?
1288591
In the next chapter, actually.
1287730>>1287686
My works are, ironically, not canon to the central universe called the Chess game. Therefore, whatever I do here does not apply to them. This means that I get to take their silly concepts and twist them how I please, and suffer no repercussions for it. Disarray is playing the same game as them, but this is non-canon, so his actions won't affect the pillar of lore they are erecting.
1288843 But he's still toying with ponies lives. So I have no choice but to plan unspeakable torments for him.
