6064307 Your insight and corrections are appreciated, Molly. I'll look to this for reference when I proofread it.
6041729 Now that some time has passed, may I ask you for your final word on this endeavor of a chapter? It was a lot of work to do and I cannot stress how relieved I am to finally have this done.
*clap clap clap**clap clap clap* not quiet sure if the arc is ended but im pretty sure it is, and this was a very good way to end it. tho truth be told i dont like the amnesia part. unless it is only temp. or partial.
ik i shouldnt be a stickler for grammar or sentence structure but i read this line and laughed in a good way not a mean way. cus you know one cannot simply safely say something with uncertainty. lol its all good tho. glad this story has been going for this long i originally found this story over on fanfiction and followed it since like chapter 5 or 10 cant quiet remember, and glad i got to witness it this far.
Excellent work, Humanity. Though, as much as I understand that keeping those Journals and research papers locked up can be a helpful aid in case of a similar event in the future generations... but why not destroy those entries instead of hiding them?
Buried truths will leave scrapes and crumbs behind, and I have no doubts that the bird will follow the trail to reveal his buried pain. If they destroyed the Journal entries, then he would be stuck at a dead end. And the truth would be forever hidden.
In all such cases, if there are truths best hidden, you must destroy it. So, if they wish for James to remain happy, why won't they destroy the journals written and research papers?
6072633 Perhaps they are not being destroyed as a show of somber respect for the struggle that they went through. As a silent reminder of happened.
Welp, I may have spent too much time on TV Tropes, but I get the distinct feeling that the choice to not tell James and the promise to keep him out of future conflicts are going to come back and bite the Mane 6 in the ass...
That arc was... intense. Emotional, heartbreaking, and just plain stressful; in other words, well done. I didn't expect James to lose the memories of everything that happened. It would have been interesting to see where the story would go if he did remember, but it is a nice, peaceful ending to the arc that, considering the sheer hell he went through, he finally deserved some mercy.
6072642 They still leave the risk of him finding the truth. Whether they tell him or not. If they truly desired for it to be forgotten, they need to destroy it. Otherwise, when the truth is revealed, he will feel betrayed. Whether he feels betrayed by the forgotten memories, or from finding the journals, it will not matter. He will feel betrayed. So, either they destroy it, or leaving the risks of them being uncovered... and I have a feeling that Chrysilas is not going to leave him in the dark about it should they meet again...
Well, first time meeting in memory, but 2nd time through physical meeting.
Bruh, you go from "hearing something" to "reading something"
ARGH I WAS SO CLOSE TO CALLING IT!
I can't help be feel a bit angry at the ponies for keeping his journals from him, but shouldn't James still have the ones he wrote when he was in the hospital? Like, in the drawer or something??
Oh wait, Twilight took those because fuck you.
6072731 Thanks for pointing that out. I'll fix it momentarily.
6072697 Well, there's still two more chapters before the main story line of volume 3 is done. Who can say what will happen?
6072756 No, she took those to be sent to the royal sisters for analysis on clues of what may be ailing him.
Hmmm... I'm thinking that Chrysalis will get a hold of those journals and give them to James in an attempt to drive him away from the elements
Oh I am so happy of the final conclusion of this faithful stressful arc. I was so much in suspense I forgot to breathe at some points of the story. we can finally rest easy now knowing the dark days have passed and news days begun, but what I'm most concerned about is fluttershy now, she is willing to give up James because of what she did but what's making it difficult is that the only reason she is doing it is because what happened in the maze but James doesn't know what happened in the maze. Even more so if she evens suggests it James would be devastated and I can't bear to watch it. Please I hope the mood starts to pick up to the happy days again, though the arc was really stressful and very emotional it was fully of devotion and effort and for that I sincerely from the bottom of my heart thank you for creating and posting such a wonderful story to all of us. I look forward to future chapters when they come and I hope you have a wonderful day.
Dick move, Twi-Twi!
What will happen with Fluttershy?
Who will open Discords box?
What happened to Gummy?
And
Will Nightmare tell James about her feelings for him again now that he's forgotten?
6072825 Yeah that's what I said, Twilight took them
6073010 Oops. Better fix that when I proofread it.
6072756
What's wrong with you? If I had some shit like that happen to me, I wouldn't WANT to remember it. Do you know how many people drink themselves to death trying to forget something not even half that horrible? Something that bad happened to a real person, their brain would hemorrhage or their heart would stop from shock. It's dangerous to let him know, it could kill him. And with how over-sensitive he is about absolutely everything ever, he just might kill himself. Thoughts like "but he deserves to know!" don't matter when psychological damage is on the line. Humans are exceedingly more fragile than most people seem to understand, especially younger folks.

The girls are still a bit thick in the head. They keep acting like they did those things to him on of their own free will, and not a single one of them is putting the blame squarely on DIscord's shoulders. In a normal person this would be unhealthy and lead to psychological problems. Severe psychological problems, of which depression (which is far more serious than people think) would be the least of. They acknowledge Discord had a part in it but still blame themselves. They need assistance on getting over this.
6073107 Bruh if there's one thing you should know about me is that I'm slightly psychotic, and I'm slightly sociopathic (not a real word but deal with it).
I've always loved stories about killing shit and all that crap, so when I read the chapters with James completely fucking up Discord I was like "AWESOME!", and all that shit
6073121
Sociopathic is a real word. In the same way that psychopathic is, and psychopathy is simply an excess dip on one end of the sociopathy spectrum, which I myself fall into. That also has little to do with the story, the point is that James does not need to know, so there's no reason to act as if it was a bad thing. I could go into greater depth but I'm not entirely sure it would matter. Enjoy yourself, I suppose. Reality catches up with each of us sooner or later.
6073155
Well the dictionary doesn't seem to think it is.
And actually, the two are different. Why would they classify the same thing with two different words?
http://psychcentral.com/blog/archives/2015/02/12/differences-between-a-psychopath-vs-sociopath/
Look it up.
What do you mean by "Reality catches up with each of us sooner or later."?
6073162
I never indicated they were the same thing. Psychopathy sets itself apart at the more intense end of the sociopathy spectrum.
Don't know what dictionary you're using, but it's plainly wrong. That aside, you'll figure out the rest on your own.
6073273 Whatever mate
6072818 I have no freakin clue, lol.
6072756 After Discord going through the trouble to spare James from the Hell he imposed on him after granting his last wish, why undo all of that? I would sure love to forget the shit that I went through.
Why are the girls still guilt-tripping themselves? It's over now! Live your lives out to the fullest again!
At least for the moment.
6074135 I should probably go into more detail on that later. When you've succeeded against a vile threat before and make a vow to protect someone from that threat, only to see your efforts and promises falling apart right before your eyes, it can be very taxing on your conscience and can make it difficult to discern who was more at fault. You know that the villain was the real puppet master, but you still defeated him before, and you cannot help but feel that you truly screwed up and wonder if you could've done more to prevent this failure from happening. It will still feel like it was your fault, even though it wasn't. And that is not an easy feeling to let go of.
6074268 Ugh fucking dammit! Nothing is ever simple, nor easy, is it!?
Discord shows his next masterplan, corrupting the girls bonds by having them retain knowledge of events they dont wish to remember.
Perfect HAL setup.
I am really not even sure how to comment on this chapter it is supper good and vary intense.
things are looking up for everypony as of right now.
Fluttershy is kind of scared about telling James about his new foal on the way .
just to much good to talk about in this chapter so rather then even try I will just stop here.

I must say...very...very good job in choosing music to keep the right mood for story...
I think you should put the "Crossover" tag onto your story. You've already had a major Skyrim crossover so far. I can't remember if there were any others.
6095502 Crossover would require various 3rd party factors that have a prominent presence and affect on the story. The references and shout outs in this do not.
6095662 Can't wait for more!!!! Keep it coming!!!
Over...
Good one.
You don't really expect me to believe that James truely slayed discord, a being one step below joining the old ones.
To have slane a being with mortal weapons, even though if discord knew that both the elements and the sword were beneth him- a spirit of one of the primordial forces- he could render them useless without even a thought.
Whose involuntary, internal defences attempted to assume controls of James for consuming him, and were "beaten" dispite being closer to his own true liniage and no longer being suppressed by a fillter of Magic from the equine outer God. You know, the one that blazer beamed the sirens from EQG2 to oblivion with an unfiltered laser of judgement.
I find it amusing you made it so James thought he won. That the ant somehow stoped the feet of the "mountain".
Very amusing.
this need to be alive
6095502
I would say He wars a Minute or so in fallout whis ouer tow night prinsess
How about burn those journal entries instead of keeping them hidden?
I can already tell this is gonna backfire tremendously at some point in the future.
