AND SO IT BEGINS

>>13119261311926 Woot for beginningness!

YAY!!!!

Plus, Midnight is adorable.

AAHH! inner demons continues!

>>13120121312012 Indeed. such a cute little destroy of worlds!

Oh, also noticed this. "Guys," she whispered, "it's a filly." Since they are all females, wouldn't it be Girls and not Guys?

AAHH! inner demons continues!

>>13120271312027 No, I think you should be able to use "Guys" as a group of people instead of a group of a certain gender.

Wonderful is a understatment if used but i will use it anyway I am happy to say a expansion and more epicness!

keep being awesome!

I approve of this sequel... or prequel... or, uh whatever. I'm so tired, I'll have to read it tomorrow.

>>13123721312372 Think of it as a sequel with a prequel in it.

When does she find out that she died?

Been looking forward to this!

>>13126921312692 Did she die?  Apple Bloom came to Elysium once while alive after all.

HINT HINT

oh I get it, can't believe I didn't get it beforehand

Well, this was a pleasent surprise. I wasn't expecting any followup to appear yet to be honest, but I'm glad to have been caught by surprise by this "Sequel Prequel", hehehe. I'm sure it'll take some time to see anymore, but thats fine as patience is a virtue. That, and I would hate for haste to stiffle your skill and creativity. Good things come to those who wait , as they say.

More from SapphireLibra? Guess I won't be doing homework for a while... Well, not really, but you get the idea: I am EXCITED!

How DARE you?

I thought I was gonna get to see Ten Years get finished before this, but no.

A beautiful start to what I see as an amazing sequel to one of the best works of literature I've ever seen.

I would love to see Inner demons become a big series

>>13545201354520 Worry not, I will finish 10 Years, but I'm stuck on where to take that one (I know how it ends, it's just getting that's hard).  This is just as important as 10 Years, you'll see.

>>13574981357498 It better be... Grumble grumble...

>>13582711358271 It's all to build up to something amazing.  Think of how awesome Kingdom Hearts 2 is.

>>13730081373008   Never played.  I'm a Final Fantasy kind of guy

>>13739401373940 Well to clear things up, Chain of Memories was a build up game to fill in the gap between Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2.  If you went straight to KH 2, then you would be extremely confused as new enemies are introduced, and new characters.  Also, the beginning makes more sense if you play the end of Chain of Memories.

That's basically what I'm doing here with 10 Years and Fragments of Truth.

>>13867171386717

So I shouldn't expect a 10 years update soon?

>>13867781386778 Like I said, I'm sort of stuck on how to proceed with 10 Years.  It'll get updated once I figure out exactly what happens next.

>>13869041386904  PM me if you'd like some ideas.  I can probably help you out, with a bit of explanation.

>>13869851386985 Hm... I might take you up on that offer.  Thanks.  If I do need help, I'll let you know.

so once again we go down the rabit hole to find new horros and haft truths, where will this lead

Description reminds me of Bayonetta.  Ill keep and eye on this

I have no words only feels

At least I can follow  this one from the beginning.

I joined Inner Demons at, like, Chapter 26.

I know it was one of the stories I memorized the title and author of, because back then. I didn't have an account!

I should've seen this months ago... Where have I been? This is the sequel to one of my favorite stories!

In all its beauty, I still see some of the descriptive issues that were present in Inner Demons, telling instead of showing and whatnot.

She was a unicorn with a blue coat (matching her name) and a light blue mane and tail.

Maybe instead of throwing the description all in one place, spread subtle details about a character's appearance throughout the chapter? I dunno.

Either way, I'm looking very, VERY forward to this story, and am more than excited to see where it will go

Before I go, random question. Do you happen to have an editor?

I had only read Inner Demons and wanted to read more of your stories. This sounds good. Can't wait for more.

PS: Are still getting called a guy? Also I like how you kept the evolved armour for the elements

so... it is alive after all,  why do i get the sense that when this is over there just might be another Alicorn in the mix

YES! FINALLY! i actually forgot about this fic for a while. glad to see it back. wonderful work.

and congrats on the feature

Good story, we might find out more info about the back story. Also, how many years after Inner Demons is this taking place?

>>19641091964109 About 10 years.  This is happening during the last year of 10 Years (which I will finish).

>>19643801964380 I thought so, I just wanted to make sure. The day after Apple Bloom's 21st birthday is going to be the start of something crazier then the Queen of Darkness incident isn't it?

>>19643921964392 You have no idea...

Man is it possible to loan Vale to clean up the Internet?

BTW you're an amazing writer, holy balls!

This fanfic... it's still alive!!

Great as always, Sapphire. I always love your writing. I wonder how, of all ponies, it was Rarity they--whoever they is--chose. Really interesting and mysterious, so I look forward to more.

>>19653681965368 Why would you want to clean the internet? It's much more fun this way! *Squee*

>>19922341992234 As soon as I saw the word 'troll', I just had to add that comment.

And yes, trolls usually are what makes Internet more fun :D

This story feels like a video game for some reason. . .

>>20534362053436 I actually had a video game in mind when I was writing this.

Yeah, new chapter. Lets hope something makes sense after this one...

Morgana, she's connected to a certain Earth Pony Musician isn't she?

bravo glad this is back

Epicness awesome chapter. lol seems like Trixie is Axle from Kingdom Hearts.

Anyone else read Faust's lines  with the overwatch announcer's (Half Life 2) voice?

Well i have finally gotten to reading this and i must say that i am already intrigued, Rarity's dream's seems to be of the past events that would eventually lead to what happened in "Inner Demons", this dream seemed to be how Twilight's, Apple Bloom's, and i am guessing Trixie's past selves met each other, i hope we get to see more of these dreams as we find out were Rarity is and why.

Well to looks like Rarity is in deep trouble, and she doesn't seem to have a choice but to go deeper, and if I remember what happens at the end of "10 years" correctly then i think i know why Rarity is here and i have a good guess of what's going to happen to her, also i am going to guess that one of the games that you took ideas from for this is "Tales of Symphonia" i might be wrong but that' my guess.

Well this is getting very interesting, i wonder how Morgana is going to fit into the latter events of this story, i also am getting very curious to see what will happen at the end of this, also nice throw back to G1 with the castle.

After a pretty damn long wait I finally read this one. And now just to wait next one...

Awesome chapter! So much allusion and some plot holes to the original canon story ate being filled like the castle of the royal Alicorn sisters! And Octy-corn. XD

Cant wait for more!

So... She is getting her memories replaced with new ones?

It is official, this is Inner Demons meets KH:CoM/KH:BBS. It is the only explanation for that exchange between Trixie and Rarity after the memory.

As for a guess as what might be going on with the memory scenes highlight below:

It seems to be that we are dealing with reincarnations. Rarity was Vale, Twilight was Midnight, Applebloom was Bayonet, Trixie was Azure Sky and if I am to guess Octavia was Morgan

Uh oh. Fighting Fluttershy has erased her from Rarity's memory. That's not good.

>>23692882369288 Yeah, that is actually where I got the idea for this for.  I also drew from Valkyrie Profile a bit.

>>23693812369381

Two points for me then.

.....wow....a little cliche I guess, but it works...

very impressive.

>>23692882369288

And now I have an idea of what's going to happen. Fun.

this is getting epic

So my guess is that every time Rarity destroys a Avatar that looks like some one she holds close to her heart then all memories of that pony will be destroyed with it, i am also going to guess that the reason for this is to make room for Vale's memories.

P.S. If i am not mistaken Vale also plays a major role in another story of yours called, "Tales of Equestria: Friendship is Magic"

>>23779672377967 Yes, this is an alternate version of Vale, essentially what she's like not as a silent protagonist.  This does not have any impact on Vale's story in Tales of Equestria.

>>23787402378740

I thought so, and I know that the "Inner Demon" stories and "Tales of Equestria" are both different, I just thought I would be a good way to put out the title of another one of your great stories.

It all makes sense now. Vale attempted to kill midnight, which resulted in her needing to be defeated by Bayonet. Also, I theorize that as Rarity is fighting is fighting these avatars, she loses memory's of her friends, and she is intended to forget all about them so that by the end she is an empty shell, intended to be taken over by Vale, and fight Midnight or the next evil to return. I hope however, that Rarity realizes whats going on, and that Trixie is obviously incapable of being trusted. Who's to say that's not what was intended for her all along, for her to realize she's being played and fight back. Not enough information to conclude,continue writing

Okay so far it's:

Trixe=Azure

Rarity=Vale

Apple Bloom=Bayonet

Twilight=Midnight

Octavia=Morgana

Someone who replied to me on Inner Demons:10 Years told me about Octy.

>>23693812369381They are starting to catch on, But they still have no clue......You truly are a genius Sapphire!

>>24068912406891You're missing one.

>>24179922417992 who?

Then who will be the element of magic?

If Azure Sky was in love with Midnight and Trixie is her reincar...   I think I know how Midnight fell.

bravo bravo

>>24275342427534 There is no Element of Magic.  That won't be created until Twilight Sparkle feels the "spark of friendship" thousands of years later during the Night Mare Moon incident.

Quite a few spelling errors in here, you should probably look at those ^.^

Great chapter.. im really getting into this (sequel?), keep it up :D

Something's up with Rarity forgetting AJ and Fluttershy...

I say memory replacement and Rarity becoming the new Vale.

In this place, to find is to lose and to lose is to find.

>>24276362427636

I know that a few of the fans use that as her name, but to me, it is honestly like using 'every thing' for 'everything'.  Compounding a name together changed it meaning and/or feeling, and the same can be said of names, like 'Apple Jack' and 'Flutter Shy'.  'Night Mare Moon' just doesn't have the same feeling as 'Nightmare Moon', and personally, it is just seems too silly to use it (what I mean is that it feel like the ponies would be calling her 'Night Moon', since 'Mare' is being use as a middle name).  There are some rare exceptions to this, though, like with 'Applebloom', since it give me the same feeling as 'Apple Bloom' (though, I personally prefer to use the canon 'Apple Bloom' myself).

---

As for this chapter...I am getting this odd feeling that this 'All-Mother' have became corrupted with the typical 'holier-than-thou' complex, kinda more-or-less similar to the way the 'Angels' in "Tales of Symphonia" did.  The more Rarity progress, the more I pick up on this, and the more I find myself hating this 'All-Mother'.  Anyway, great job with this chapter, as well as the past chapters, and keep it up.

C&Cs:

“Does it work like the other’s we found?”

> Remove the possessive mark.

But no, Morgana wa the one telling them how to seal away the demons.

> Correction: ‘was’.

>>24275452427545 Spoilers!

"Well, for one thing, there's the story of the two goddesses," Twilight began, "which tells of two powerful goddesses, one of light, and one of darkness.  The two of them were close friends despite one coming from Elysium and the other one coming from Tartarus.  The goddess of darkness fell in love with a mortal pony, but that pony was killed by a local villager.  The goddess of light tried to calm the goddess of darkness, but she was inconsolable.  In the end, the goddess of darkness went out of control, and the two former friends had to fight one another.  Sadly the goddess of light wasn't able to bring herself to kill her friend, so she was struck down by the goddess of darkness.  No one knows what happened after that, as any pony who could document it was killed in the destruction."

Light Goddess is Vale, Dark Goddess is Midnight, and if she does like Azure Sky..... Azure Sky gets killed by a local villager!

My vote is on Morgana being the villager...

What's born of nothin will return ta nothin.”

Those were some interesting last words that the fake applejack had, and they make me worry about the fate for our heroine, i also find it interesting that the "Element of Magic" is not with the other Element's, though we will find out more about that i suspect, i am also wondering what is going on with Morgana, if she is evil like the end of the flash back might of implied then why would the Element of Generosity choose her?

I can answer one of those questions easily.  The Element of Magic doesn't exist yet.  Remember, it was made from the spark of friendship during Nightmare Moon.  Even in Inner Demons it's stated that the Master of Harmony only had the 5 Elements for her fight, while Apple Bloom was able to use 6.

OOOOH SNAP dat ending.
