Reader, in ancient days, the old lords of the world numbered in thousands. Then hundreds. Then even less.
Now, they are found only in tapestries and fanciful ballads.
The creatures are all vanished. All but one.
Rumors say there are more of him, somewhere far away. A young and supposedly gifted mage called Star Swirl, and Heartstrings, a gentle spinster have joined him on a journey to find the rest.
Are you being sarcastic?
Am I waiting impatiently for the next chapter?
Will I rip this to shreds if you do it poorly?
OK, I'm not going to continue doing that indefinitely. But yes. I will rip this to shreds if done poorly. I'm just that petty.

Nano technology? Space faring? Specifics please... Regardless I really hope you continue this. Sorry if I'm sounding a bit demanding with the technology thing, but the whole 'City of iron' made me think more advanced, since we don't have cities of iron. Not to mention no plants growing anywhere? Meaning the roads are no longer asphalt, but of steel or another more durable material. Which in tow makes me think humans are much more advanced at this point and would look godlike (If any tech still exists) to the poines. 
Hmm. "The last human", eh? Nice looking description + coverart, guess I'll open it up and have a--

Wow. I'm looking forwards to the rest of this. Oh, and just to let you know, you've got some problems with the format. Your paras. occasionally clump together. Oh, and:

Anyway, gorgeous story, tracking so I can see more of it and the fact that I found this through serendipity proves I've been an idiot in not watching you. Consider that corrected. 
Definitely going to continue reading this. I loved the movie and this seems to be good.
Park1, Yield2, Subway3, Fines4, Low-Bridge5, Starbucks6, and little One-Way7, who had a charming spot on his head. These six the man resolved to never eat
I kinda count seven main pigeons.
You have my interest sir. And if I'm not mistaken, you made a reference to G1? I take it the world in your story is not the same earth as our earth? I hope Celestia didn't murder them, because that would just grind my gears. I look forward to the next update.
seems like this could work

Yep! About 90% of her dialogue are song lyrics. I think the only ones that aren't are the comment on the human's singing and maybe two sentences about the roc.
Oh my, yes. That book is amazing and has been my favorite novel for 13 years.
Mostly OCs, and a few kinda-canon characters.
Awww, thanks! Also, I love how much your avatar matches the comment.
Well well well, the analogue to The Last Unicorn continues. I find myself completely enthralled with how you're progressing do far, but I do admit to some worry that you will merely rewrite the book with the humans and ponies having switched roles. I do so hope I will be proven wrong in this regard.
That all said, I still love this story thus far and eagerly await the next instalment.

Heh, whoops. Alright, the scientific classification too. Actually, most of humanity's description is regular old prose before it hits the rune poem describing them as "adorners of ships" and it unravels back into song lyrics.
(That's what I get for typing before thinking!)
Oh, they're her own thoughts, she just expresses them in her own strange way. And also tends to get distracted a lot.
Sir (or Madame) I almost jumped out of my chair when I read on EQD that this was a Last Unicorn crossover. Then I was like NO WHO DARES?!
But seriously this is amazingly, mind blowingly good so far. You have replicated the feel of the book while keeping it decidedly Pony!
That Seapony. If nothing else, if you manage to ruin every other chapter you ever write, at least you will have given us that Seapony.
What the- OH COME ON!
Well it really seems like it's a small world out there, people with the same ideas and really have no idea about it, sometimes it leads to pointless conflict and such.
This is why I have this irrational phobia of browsing too much stories on fimfic 
At first you thought the idea was very nice, something that really wasn't done before... and about two weeks into writing you find SOMETHING *almost* EXACTLY LIKE IT.
Sorry, I really don't mean to be rude...
But I do like it though, can't wait for the next chapter! Excellent crossover!
Thank you muchly. That's the highest compliment I could possibly get for this story.
It isn't, but that's an awesome idea now that you mention it!
Heh, "WHO DARES" would have been my exact reaction to this story too, had I not wrote it, so I'm glad it passed inspection. Seapony was so much fun to write, though I think I should have pulled more older songs (like 1860s not 1960s) to reference.
Oh, I know what you mean. I had a nice bittersweet one-shot about Smarty Pants planned for a while, and then My Maker showed up.
I have nothing to add to what has already been expressed: pleased surprise and borderline awe at how unexpected and faithful in spirit this story is.
But I will say one thing: It has become clear that rainbowdashderp is not an ignoramus in need of education, but a troll seeking feeding. Don't.
I'd say "city of iron" is an appropriate description of any city generations after an apocalypse.
Every post-apocalyptc tale I've ever read, from the 1930s to now, describe cities stripped of their concrete facades and rising like forests or towers of iron from the rubble. It's an apt one for the author to make. 
I am so glad. So very very glad.
Well, now is as good of time as any to show these ponies just how cruel and manipulating we can be. As much as I dislike reading stories where the human is in a weak position such as this, these stories tend to have great revenge chapters. I await the next chapter.
I have to say I'm really enjoying this story.
And it's kinda interesting seeing this story with humans having been in the world but now are a rare thing... only a legend. And a horrible one at that... but a some what false one... oooh... I'm looking forward to the next update!
If you don't give Pyrite his upcommance then, I'll be super mad! Sucks to be captive like that, and I hope our human will not give Star Swirl regrets of taking pity on him. Humanity FTW! And when will we see Lyra?
