:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

BAHAHAHAHAAA!

Birdie and Mollasses.......

I have to say, they're quickly becoming my favorite characters.

Happy to have found this story! Apologies that you had to be the recipient of such pathetic comment (honestly, I share your viewpoint- and I find it amusing the reader phrases his insult using the term 'forced'. Who is forcing a reader to read?

Anyhow. Hope you continue this story!

You wouldn't believe how happy I am to see this here.

One thing I did notice though is you used the word "scarry" instead of "scary". Scarry would mean something like covered in scars.

Where they heck are they stuck, Silent Hill? I'm just glad to see this story here, it always makes me happy :3

God, I actually had to reread most of this, as I had forgotten it.

But it really lived up to expectations, and I'm very glad you aren't dead or given up on this story.

I'm so excited to see that this has updated. I think that this was one of the first long stories I really followed, even before it was on FIMFiction. I'm glad to see it's still alive.

OMG this was awesome, well written and perfect

the Gryphon culture shock with the Ponies was well done and the new villain had shown that is a great peril

well done

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
How could you kill him
You bastard


Good story, now where was I, oh yes


NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As happy as I am this updated, christ that's some serious shit going down. I'm happily still following this!

Fecal matter at said moment transcended from abstract theory to a more literal configuration.

You know, It's a shame this story isn't getting more attention than it is. If I remember correctly, this is a well written story with an interesting plot and well developed characters. Heck, this was one of the first series I read for MLP fanfics.
That being said, I can't really read this latest chapter because I no longer remember what was going on in this story. I suppose that is the danger of long hiatuses.
Even though I won't be reading this now, I may read it over when it's finished... Hopefully that won't be too far off. Good luck.

Ahahahahahaha! Well that's one way to say 'shit just got real'. Well said sir.

3876859 I am so going to remember that one! XD
Also, it has been a long while since I read this. It was one of the first MLP fics I really got into (this, Crisis Equestria, Past Sins, and the Immortal Game) . It even gave me some ideas as well. Looking back at it now, I'd prefer it had little to no romance and maybe tone down the drama just a small notch, but not to much since it works so well with the story. Another thing is I can predict that all 12 elements will come, combine their powers, and defeat Tirek (or whoever the Rainbow of Darkness is, even if it is itself). So yeah, kinda predictable which is kind of a shame since it's a good story in some aspects, but I can't, and won't, stop reading now!

Wait... Who is it? I need to buy them a present... Trip to London, perhaps? Maybe on Christmas? Hmm...

“What happened to you?”

He said the exact same thing to Mend last story, and Flutters said the same thing to him in the first. I sense a pattern...

Why did you have to kill him?!?!?!?!?!

Wow, that's a rather big cliffhanger to leave this on. I hope it doesn't take long for the next chapter to be ready. This is such a good story.

4450789 Wish granted my brother.

4462237 Thank you! Another great chapter, I must say. You have some talent.

My pleasure. Why don't you check out my other story: The Unity Pact. At 272,957 words total, it's a bit longer. :eeyup:

Trooper is my buddy who posted The Vagabond, Trials of the Elements, and The Elements of Equestria for me, but I am the actual author. Surprise.:trollestia:

The Rainbow of Darkness got the defeat it deserved, quick and forgetable

Wow, I never realized how shitty this chapter's grammar was. I'll fix it as soon as I can tomorrow morning. I apologize to all my readers.

Congratulations. You are, I believe, the first author I have come across who has incorporated a mentally handicapped pony in their story.

I have had encounters with such people throughout my life and they are much more common than most people believe.
Kudo's to you for touching on this sensitive topic.

Keep going, love this series ^_^ :twilightsmile::heart:

Read them all on FF.net when it first started n wondered why it hadn't been update

I can not express how much joy I am feeling right now, this story is finally back

7190226 Sorry it took me so long to write, I've been busy with my other story: The Unity Pact.

Oh, fuck, this isn't dead? A fucking year and a half, and Got Damn, I don't remember shit. Welp. Looks like I'm reading through the whole fucken series again.

7190926 Sorry bro. Been super busy with The Unity Pact series. I got hit by my depression SUPER hard and when I came out of it, I felt inclined to do this.

7192843 If I recall correctly, this was the shit a while back. Featured every update. It's a good story.

And another new chapter is up. :twilightsmile:

The Vagabond was the first fanfiction I'd ever read. It's a shame the trilogy was never completed.

I hope Valient kicks the dark rainbow’s tail into next century. Eating foals is bad for your health. Awesome story so far! I can’t stop reading!
