    Years, he did not know how long he was trapped in those accursed caverns, forced to do their bidding. But he did know that he would be free. He was broken; he pieced himself back together. He didn't piece himself correctly. He is free. What left the caverns is no longer a man. He broke free of his shackles; he is now little more than a creature. Enslavement can change a lot of things about a person. Would you break?

    Characters and tags will be added as the story progresses.

    Diamond dog conference the week after:

    "I fear no one. But that... thing... It scares me."

    "No, I ain't talking about that freak, alright! He's not here, is he? How do I get this f*cking thing off?"

    "One shudders to imagine what inhuman thoughts lie behind that mask. What dreams of chronic and sustained cruelty?"

    >>1356878 I'll take that as a compliment

    >>1364159 I'm really not trying to go for the space marine/soldier approach. The elite fighting machine thing has  been done to death, I'm going for more of a savage/improvised character

    >>1366058 Thanks :twilightblush: >>1366147 Yup. I'm reading this, beginning to end, and shudder as I read every descriptive word that you put on each line.

    I love this comment.

    >>1371725 There will be many more comments such as the I made, IF there is more of this surviving slave-esque story. There will be more, yes? If not...that might be a problem. :scootangel: I'm not saying something bad will happen. Just a little...ah, tip. Yes, that suits my meaning just fine.

    So the description and tags give the impression that this will be a story about a vengeful human escaping captivity and bringing his wrath upon the diamond dogs. Chapter one backed that vision easily. In chapter two he freed a bunch of slaves and found some baby ponies. Now in chapter three he is feeding said baby ponies. You have plans for where this is going right?

    The following words are of my own, biased opinions. You have no obligation to agree with them:

    Hmm, the scene you've set so far is pretty decent. Now comes the hard part: progressing the story. If you keep on doing nothing but introducing new characters, readers will soon lose interest. The prologue was the most attention grabbing part of the story so far, for me.

    You have tagged this story as human, but I have yet to see any solid evidence of humans in the fic. If your mysterious main character is a human, maybe you should drop in more suggestive hints to it. Also, maybe it's time to actually introduce the characters. Character development is crucial in any story.

    Some of your word selections don't flow very well in the context you use them for, e.g. the use of 'emanating' in earlier chapters. Not to say that a large part of your word selection seems strange. but I find it to be more descriptive and lifelike when you actually use simpler words in your writing.

    Nonetheless, this was a great start overall. You had a good idea with the music, and the mood was perfectly crafted. Good luck writing the rest of this! :twilightsmile:

    :pinkiegasp: FINALLY! A new chapter for this story!

    *starts reading*

    Change of pace for chapter? Yeah, I'm cool with this. It's nice to see that the "creature" cares for more than just himself. It's so...heartwarming to say the least. Well then, thank you very much for the light-hearted morning read Annhero. As always, I shall wait for the next chapter if I don't go insane first patiently. :twilightsmile:

    While i like what you have so fart I find the chapters to short to enjoy. I would suggest beefing them up before posting. Maybe add a bit more character introspection or a few more events.

    >>1412529 >>1411347 I've taken note of your suggestions, rest assured chapters will be bigger. I was really just experimenting with shorter chapters. They get churned out a lot more quickly, but yeah, I suppose I can see your argument, not enough going on in the chapters.

    Damn...I like reading these. It's such a drastic change from the stuff I normally read. (That's a good thing)

    Anyways, thanks for the nice evening read Anhero. Good luck with the next chapters!

    Let's just say that my comment was as confusing to you as that ending dream sequence was to me.
