After long nights searching through the forbidden archives of the Canterlot Library, you finally find a small tome hidden behind stacks of scrolls about the pre-classical era. The book is thick with loose pages inserted between the regular ones, standing out in odd angles. One of them slips out as you take the book from the shelve and falls to the ground. You pick it up and lift it in front of you. It is a note, written in clean and minimalistic hoofwriting.
To whoever finds this book:
If you managed to come this far, and are actually able to read this tome, know that you have taken the first step in uncovering the secrets of necromancy.
Beware! This writings will make you question yourself and everything you hold true. But if you are still reading, then I guess your mind is already made up. So read on then my poor lost pony, and take the second step, for in your hooves you hold the Diary of the Necromancess.
I see what you're getting at but the definition of Necromancer is as follows: -A necromancer is a person who practices necromancy, a discipline of black magic used to communicate with the dead to foretell the future- and it does not adhere to specific genders/ is a type of umbrella term if you will, so necromancer would still work (and in a literal sense be "correct") but it's your story.
Nice chapter. Cant wait for the next!
Im pretty sure shes been turned to stone.
2103834 That would be the smart thing to do, wouldn't it?
bandages fused with the regrown flesh of her arm, thats my guess
awww poor Pinkie, whereas the rage was kinda expected it still felt a little awkward watching that happen to her.....not as bad had it been Fluttershy, but still..... actually Flutters probably would have totally understood and probably would have consoled her, then ask her weather or not after describing her world if she actually wanted to go back
also: FIRST!!!!
Apple Bonus came back, wearing green saddlebags with an onion embroidered on them.
who is apple bonus?
2210719 Initially I had called Applejack Apple Bonus in that chapter, because technically Hela had never heard the name, and Jack is not a Roman name. But I decided it would just confuse the readers, so I changed it around. Must have missed that one there. Thx for pointing it out.
I didn't even notice XD
Augh, cliffhangers.
I'm liking this fic so far, if there is anything I can say I am disappointed in is that the story only has 23 likes.
I liked this, I'm totally gonna assume that changelings are going to attack during the wedding (unless it happened out of chapter, in which case I hate you). And just for lols, make some form of super powerful multiversal trekking mage with godlike powers so up and pretend to be a normal pony.
I think you meant bugging; to bugger someone is to have anal sex with them.

Thx, corrected.
I don't understand what do you mean by that is hoof also the pony word for control or something?

A pony pun for "got it well under hand" which is, as I understand, a metaphor for "got it well under control"
Loved the story, thanks for writing. Though, I am a bit curious about what happened to the reader of the diary, was that an abandoned plot thread or did you write it according to plan?
Anyways, its been fun reading and waiting for these chapters, hope to see more from you!
Excellent story, and I enjoyed reading it to the end. I enjoyed not having to look at grammar mistakes, which are found in a lot of the other stories. I hope you do continue to write, even if you do take a break from it for a while.
2497361 Thx! The fictional reader, I opened this story with, is supposed to be whatever the real reader, you, makes of him. Will he follow Sapphire's hoofsteps towards Saddle Arabia and become a Necormancer, or will he see the error of his ways and come out a new pony, better and stronger. It's up to you!
2497680 Thx! Glad to hear that my grammar has improved. My last story always came back more red than black from my editor.
I will continue writing. I already got my next story planned out, and are about 2k words into the first chapter. Will take some time though, until I can post any of it.
Sequal!!!
2501857 I thought about doing a tumblr blog for Sapphire, following the events of this story. But I don't know if my drawing skills are up to the task, or if anyone would actually follow it.
2502609 I can't tumblr at home 'cuz I have to use a proxy
2500022 Hahaha
Perfect! Now I have to find something else to read, least I get the inspiration to make ANOTHER country sized city in Minecraft.
Ugg.. so boring, and the unboring parts are just so masochist. Not a story for me, but good luck writing anyway.
This story was alright. It had an interesting plot and stable characters, although I dislike forced conversion to pony. The biggest issue that holds this story back are the grammar, syntax, and word choice errors where I can tell the word chosen is wrong as the sentence makes no sense with the word chosen. I'd recommend getting someone else to go through this and read it aloud to find a lot of the mistakes that just sound wrong.
Amazing. I wouldn't mind a sequel if you can pull one off that isn't completely hacked together.

I loved the story a lot and I'm really happy that I stumbled upon it. The ending was a bit bittersweet and really satisfying conclusion to the story.

Thx!
The undead zombie she made...
Gross.
Pretty good story so far.
One little error it's :
Good Chapter.
Some errors I saw :
One of he best stories that I've ever read. And that final was just... perfect, I love it.
Thank you so much for write this, I really enjoy it :D
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
I thought it was good. But I feel like a lot of details where left out.... Then again some of them dont seem so important now that I look back... Like the growing of the herd with the new stallion. That was rather Glossed over with letters back and forth to Twilight... I would have liked to have seen Dashes Funeral. But ya know... Still it was a decent enough story that I read though the entire thing so I guess it was fairly good... I give it a 3 out of 5....
An interesting start, I think I will follow
I quiet like this, also do you mean Kettle and not Cattle?
Good chapter, can't say I blame her for the reaction at the end
Good chapter, and an interesting path
Good chapter
An awesome story, one I wish continued. One I think could have had a whole book dedicated to after the necromancer kings downfall.
I hope this dose get a sequel, and maybe a better editor. Other than that a wonderful read.
