The Psychopath


My very first (self-published) book can be found on Amazon Kindle for 5 or 12 paperback! If you love dragons, give it a look! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSM7QQ2M

The Draconic Apocalypse; a war between the dragons and ejge, has practically destroyed the world. Only a few pockets of every species has survived and are dotted around the landscape, but these are hardened veterans and their resistance is mighty indeed, but not enough.

All the survivors have all day are sharp scales singing through the air as they traverse dragon bodies and ejge being crushed against mountain walls, and Twilight Sparkle has had enough. Being one of longest living ponies in terms of life expectancy in these times -the expectancy being maximum twenty-four years of age- she seeks to travel back in time about seven-hundred and eighty-three years. A month before the King Dragon and Royal Ejge awaken at the same time, but to do this, she must convince Princess Celestia to prepare their defenses or kill the two creatures in their sleep.

Why then, does Twilight go into a berserker's rage and try to kill the princess whenever she sees her?


The story's beginning happens during the same time period as the show's current season.

An interesting idea, as to how it goes, time will tell now wont it, as everything is on the clock.

Twilight waited for the moment when the two's swords would align during the alternating phase, and angled her spear in a way that allowed her to use the hilt to knock the sword out of the retreating pony's hoof and the attacker's strike upwards. She used her spear to lift herself up and kick the disarmed guard in the head while the other felt the butt of the spear smack right into his ribs. The discharge of built-up magic provided the extra 'oomph' break his ribs and jettison him through one the small fountains. That was five down with five more to go. Twilight was having fun but she needed to do.

This might go better as

Huh, the start of this was a tad jarring, but it flows again pretty nicely. It ends on a good note and cliffhanger for this chapter.

I...... what? *mind breaks* MORE PLZ! MUST HAZ MORE :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy:

7274399 RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAINBOW!

7274494 N-n-nnonononononono! Get away! You're just another one of them! Just a- a- Nice hat........:pinkiecrazy:

The picture painted is all to strange in the good way for what is normal, and what isn't. Very Blue and Grey in the what she see's, yet we also get to see the other side.

This is going to be interesting.........

I'm interested in continuing to read this but is every pony an Anthro pony?

7294211
But your describing ponies having hands not hooves.

7294657 Wait, what? Lemme check.

7294657 I just checked. I did that once by mistake.

7294825
Alright. Now I know that the ponies aren't Anthro.

7296149 Yeah. I'm writing a novel on Inkitt. I must've accidentally written 'hands' because of it.

Wait, did the guards imprison Sparkles without taking her weapons first?

7303204 Sparkles and Twilight Sparkle are two different entities, and yes. I implied that they had to because of Celestia's magic, seeing as her alicorn magic is stronger than normal pony magic, they couldn't remove the weapon. Yes, it was stupid, though.

Okay I just have to ask...

Where the hell is spike?

And why the hell did ember not get involved?

7303357 ...It's not the same Equestria, hence the AU tag. I can maybe bring in Ember later if you all really want me to, but she wasn't intended for this story. I'd have to make it an ancestor.

Also, further compounding on how it's not the same Equestria is that I didn't mention any of the mane6. Plus, the time Twilight came from was the same time we see the normal show, so Ember wasn't even born yet.

And the draconic apocalypse started a long time ago, which is also mentioned in the chapters.

"Then let's go. I don't want to be in the process of the imposter any longer."

you mean presence, don't you?

7303528 Whoops. Freudian Slip in written form.

What do you think of the story so far? Is it going too fast or is it going the right speed? Am I being vague enough for Twilight and Celestia's relationship or am I being too vague?

7303739 Well, nineteen views for the whole day doesn't really feel like it.

Remind me again, Is this the sequel promised for Black Snow, or another disparate project?

7320792 Another, different project, otherwise I would've written 'Deer Me' in the title, among other things.

7356271 To be fair, I haven't explained what they are yet in the story. I'm saving that for later.

Wow, this is an amazing story. Probably the most badass version of Twilight Sparkle. The fact that she's scaring the other ponies is priceless :D

7399143 Why thank you. I was hoping she didn't come off as...mozarella-y.

Something i have to admit is i was kind of disapointed. I was hoping that twilight was the only one to live the almot 800 years. That she was a alicorn or something. Like maybe old twilight sen't herself into the future or something or she ended up dying and was reincarnated as this twilight . But i still enjoy the story

P.S sorry my grammar is gonna probally suck i ended up pulling an all nighter so i have had very littler sleep

7448456 Well, you know,

Only a few pockets of every species has survived and are dotted around the landscape

.

Still glad you enjoy it. I might make another chapter here, but I'm still focused on Lux Locus.

ya she needs to die, the dragon of course.

7497672 possibly, maybe not, or a lurker deciding to leave the shadows. all are possibilities, what you think of it is immaterial.

On a light note, I love your Twilight, though I wish she'd try and make more sense.

Her eagerness was quickly replaced by disappointment, although her nostrils were assorted by a variety of crispy and deliciously sour aromas.

assaulted, perhaps?

7497694 I could work on that.


7497697 Fixed. I had modified that sentence thrice.

7497701 For a hunter, she doesn't pay enough attention to the situation and actually work it out like a pro, she is also flaunting herself too much and showing her tricks before they are needed. any professional would ensure that their opponents don't know what they are facing until the moment they strike. And hunters are fast learners of the environment, self trained to learn details like which pony is real and which one is a disguise. also that "not a kirin" is an edge, if I'm not mistaken, yes?

"And what about this?"

The unicorn shrugged.

"This is tomato soup. This is one of the most basic fruits available."

"Um, I don't mean to interrupt, but a tomato is a vegetable," one of the ponies interjected.

"No. We've been through this." Celestia moved her forelegs in stiff, horizontal motions. "It's a fruit, not a vegetable."

"It's a vegetable! What kind of 'fruit' doesn't taste sweet?"

"You're basing the flavor on the botany?"

"Yes!"

"That's not how it works! Tomatoes grow above ground. Most vegetables are roots!"

"Then what the hell is a cabbage?!"

(sigh) I don't have to define this, but it annoys me when people get it wrong too.

The following are technically fruits: avocados, beans, pea pods, corn kernels, cucumbers, zucchini, grains (oversized seeds), nuts, olives, peppers, pumpkins, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes.
Botanically speaking, vegetables are all the other parts of the plant, including the leaves (e.g. lettuce and spinach), roots (e.g. carrots, beets, radishes and potatoes), stems (e.g. ginger and celery) and even the flower buds (e.g. broccoli and cauliflower).

The 'kirin' laid her head against her head and smirked a bit.

wait, what?

7497734 You're mistaken (and it's written 'ejge' but pronounced the same way). That's the dragon queen. Should I go back to her incoming and better word that event?

As for her attitude, don't forget that she was told that they were 'inferior', so she thinks, much to the rightful stupidity you pointed out, that she is better than them. She'll learn eventually. She also considers all the pandering and fancy 'fings to be signs of weakness as she never saw such things in her own timeline.




7497750 To facilitate my grumpiness on the matter, I decided that botanically, tomatoes were a fruit. However, culinarily, they're a vegetable. It's what I based this argument on. :D Just because I might disagree or agree with something doesn't mean I won't show both view points equally. I write for fun and to let the reader amuse themselves in the complaints. :3

7497822 no, I forgot that part, it's just been some time since I read the story. I kinda forgot a few prominent things. such as the dragon queen being the creature that arrives at the same point in time that Twilight does.

7498681 Yeah. The blog post explains why I was so preoccupied.
