I'm sorry, did you really just describe Marmite as "odorless"? :rainbowhuh:

That aside, horrifically fascinating glimpse at a much darker timeline. Poor Zephyr. That guy just can't win, can he?

That guy just can't win, can he?

That's, in my eyes, the core of Zephyr; he's the Not-Hero, the average Joe off the streets. He doesn't really have a crush on Dash, he has a crush on what she represents; being the hero, the thing he wants most of all. He wants to be the hero, to be awesome like Rainbow, but... he's not. He's not her, and he's not the hero. His problem is that he too-closely associates being the hero with one's personal worth; if he's not the hero, he doesn't matter, so he has to be the hero, never mind how ill-equipped he is at being the hero (as he conceives it). He tries to be Rainbow Dash, he tries so hard, but he isn't her, and he's not equipped to be her. He's not the hero, and he doesn't know that that's okay. In The Song of the Spheres he's learning that, but here, he only learns that in the eyes of Death. As Rolling Thunder charges up her lightning, Zephyr looks at his manslaughter victim, and his friends frantically shout for him to turn around, run, he realizes:

Oh, he thought. Then he began to scream.

Once again, my lack of research punishes me. Thanks for the correction!

I'm not sure if I'm nervous about what's to come or grateful that this is in the scratch pile.

Let's go with both. :twilightoops:

Technically, this collection isn't the scratch pile so much as the Mirror of Galadriel. This story could still come to pass, or it might not. Thankfully, the Mirror tells us one thing for certain in the title, and that is that this is in a continuity other than the Song of the Spheres. The Phoenix might endure her Passion, but not in the main story I'm working on.
