I usually dont like self insert stories, but you seem to do it well.

Hey, thanks. I like to think its because Jest is his own character which isn't just a transplanted version of my own personality.

Of all the cross-over fics I've read, this has the best and most novel interaction between main characters of different stories I've seen. It honestly seems like two species that had evolved over time to be this way.

The creature that bore this strange tree upon its back was far scarier than the odd plant it carried. It had massive shoulders, a head that poked forward out of the top of its chest, and arms large enough that its knuckles nearly dragged across the ground. Made from a mixture of several different kinds of rocks, the stoney monster seemed to only be half-formed.

I keep thinking of a hunchback golem with a tree with a wailing face on its back

I recognize that one at the top with the weird horns, he's Discord. The jerk that sent me to Equestria in the first place for beating him in a dumb game. Xathrid pointed out.

If I'm not misremembering things, he has neither seen nor heard of him and only knows of the player whom he beat by the name "Angel."

“I think you’re motherly instincts did,” Jest replied. “You’re appearance in Equestria probably wasn't the plan of any thinking being unless there is an entity above that of my employer.”

The thought of this cosmic jester having an employer is frightening

“Finally a good question!” Jest exclaimed, leaping up onto Nan’s unoccupied shoulder. “You two have traveled the space between before which is why you were selected, plus you’re also from the same universe so it was easier to grab you. Two birds one stone and all that. Pun very much intended.”

Is this confirmation that the two stories take place in the same universe and it is possible for the two to meet?

“Well, it's a good thing your input no longer matters. Buh bye now!” Jest called.

I don't like him. You make him sound like he would take a simple "hello" as your signature for a Faustian deal

You're not far off.

Go reread the first chapter of 0 AP.

Why else do you think they are now sequel/prequel stories to one another? :P

You are quite observant.

Thank you for the comment! I know it may have sounded as though I was being sarcastic or mocking but I am indeed being genuine. I'm glad so much of what I intended came out in the work!

:trixieshiftright: shouldn't you be encased in stone... or retired with Fluttershy

I did not notice that. I normally don't pay attention to the description after the story is tracking

A fair assumption to make, this is one of the few times its mattered.

I just realized how is Xathrid supposed to help fight without his army of Undead?

And the argument can be made that all of My Little Pony villains are not evil. Most just have good reasons to do stupid things. Queen Chrysalis needed to feed her changelings (the queen is just too prideful to realize love freely given is stronger). Sombra was being ripped apart by the crystal heart every year (IDW comics).

The only major villains that I can think of that have no reason to be evil are Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Discord (good luck stopping Discord before he met Fluttershy or after Fluttershy dies)

Love it very youneack can't wait to read more!

This was a nice follow-up two the two previous chapters lol

That was a good story so far goodluck with the rest of it.

Is this a sequel? Or a spin off?

11762323
Both, but mainly a spin off.

11762344
But isn't the previous story still incomplete?

11762346
I am aware. If you check it out it makes sesne.

You know, from that movie. Wait, what time are you from anyway? Don't tell me you were from the eighteen hundreds or something. Xathrid exclaimed.

I find that inquiry rather unnecessary as Nan already established in chapter 1 that she had atleast seen the MLP:FIM show. A better question would be something like "Have you never seen a superhero movie or like that?" or even have Xathrid clarify what movie he's talking about.

Aside from that, great chapter!

Xathrid is engaging in the age old pass time of teasing an old person.

I forgot that was a thing. Thank you for clarifying!

“Though you were certainly villainous when you had the alicorn amulet you’re first interaction with Twilight Sparkle and her gang was much the same as Ironwill’s.

You're should be your, and you need a comma after amulet.
