Princess Celestia sends the Elements of Harmony to Zecora's homeland as friendship ambassadors, and she gets asked to tag along as a guide. But Zecora hasn't been home in many years... and with very good reason. A terrible, mysterious incident from her past ushered her into exile. But upon her initially cold welcoming reception, she learns that her land is in danger, and she becomes determined to help save it. Along with her Equestrian friends, a young zebra with faith in her, and Princess Luna watching from her dreams, Zecora finally gets a shot at redemption, both in her people's eyes, and in her own.

Very interesting. Definitely following this.
Very nice following as well.
Good Luck with the zebras!
Interesting that the direction didn't allow his bloodline to continue.

Fair point, though the way I saw it was that he knew he was the last of his kind and that the world of the future wasn't meant to be his.
Damn....
I am enjoying this story. I want to see where it goes.
I don't think you can use the word "budging" to apply to an object; it's intransitive. I think pushing, shoving, shouldering or jostling would work.
Mount Fillymanjaro
I find penning verses in zebric pantameter
is slower than writing without that parameter
I've got a Nuru in my zebra fic too. It's a great name.
Lovely use of shamanic magic.
Adinkrahene for Marwe make sense.
For Soumaoro, maybe fofo for jealousy and envy?

I like it, thanks!
I was weary of reading this because of the synopsis promise of "Zecora's mysterious past" and "her land in danger" levels of vagueness turned me off but I'm really glad I did!
It's actually a really fun and pleasant read so far despite the tags looking like a warning; it's not grimdark or anything. There's quite a few cheery and cute moments through chapter 7. Some cute jokes.
I think it really capture's the show's spirit and moves it into a darker fantasy setting. The Zebrica lore so far is good and seems fitting for the show proper. There's little bits and pieces that are from what we know on the show and a logical and interesting extension that isn't boring or just a straight copy of another civilization to my knowledge. It seems like a bit of a blending of real-life cultures like Zecora's homeland appears to be from the show.

Something something book cover judge byBut thanks, buddy! I'm glad you like it. There's an update on its way!
If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?
Im waiting to see what this apparently immortal monster is, thats going to take at least the Elements to deal with, unless the Elements are for the Sorceror, and the army is for the weapons etc?
At least Dash has a chance of dropping a sandstorm or tornado, and breaking it if the Sorcer throws one, bounces it back himself? I wonder if Pinkie could get hold of enough extremely sticky bread dough that could cause problems?
Normally, for large armies, Id say Daisy Cutters and Trebuchets, but with magic and monsters? Really alters things.
The battle is going to be multiple chapters, starting next?

I actually haven't considered it that much. I'd love to hear suggestions. : )
Yay! The story's alive!
