The attack has been a total success. No casualties. Minimal loss of resources.
All ponies currently living in the Crystal Empire have been tracked down, and moved to Wacky Workbench Central Hospital, where all ponies with suitable talents have been reassigned to researching a way to cure their ailments.
After all these years, the wounds caused by Sombra's tyrannical reign can at long last begin to heal.
The efforts of every creature in the Shadow Realm cannot be overstated. No matter what, in both the hardest and greatest periods of our time together, we have all bound ourselves together, bonded by our hatred of one pony and the pain of an entire empire. Today, this changes.
For those among you who wish to return to the Crystal Empire, workers are being sent to dismantle the dark magic that had been woven through the country, and to repair the damages caused by our great battle.
The Shadow Realm is and always was a home for those who lack one, and we are working as hard as we can to restore those homes for those that want nothing more than to return to the lives they once led.
It must be said that not all had survived under Sombra's rule. Though many did. For those who had perished in the time it took us to mount our assault, I fear no apology would be sufficient. Not to those who were lost, or to those who had lost. That said, when the Crystal Empire's property is clear of debris and traps, a memorial will be constructed to honor the ones who paid the ultimate sacrifice in enduring Sombra's harsh reign.
They will live on so long as we do not forget them.
The final tally is as follows, compared to the most recent Crystal Empire Census, taken from records recovered after the assault.
782,011 Ponies currently inhabit the Shadow Realm as full citizens, 3546 of which were born within the past two years.
201,010 Ponies were evacuated from the Crystal Empire during the assault. It is estimated that anywhere between one to two-thousand ponies are lost, or had died during the two years between the beginning of the Shadow Realm and today.
Nearly twenty-thousand among those who were rescued were a part of Sombra's fear-arrays. They are being kept in a separate wing for advanced treatment.
The search will continue, of course, but it should be said that it is unlikely that any undetected ponies still remain within the Crystal Empire.
It could be said that the coldest days of the Frozen North are behind us. I hope to see many of you at the celebration taking place one month from now, in which we will celebrate the efforts of those who had fought, and honor those who have been lost.
Lastly, in much lighter news, a small tax will be applied to imported Equestrian Pies, due to the increased number of pies being filled with anti-unicorn toxins in some sort of half-baked attempt to kill me. I would also like to request that the rumors about pies being my favorite food cease. I don't even know where you all got that idea.

Ohhhh snazzy new cover art and an update. Lucky day! (If I failed to notice the art before now.... I blame wave functions)
Ooh noice
Wow, I wasn't really expecting one of these for a while, a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Amazing new cover art too! I never really paid much mind to where his arms were connected most of the time, but that makes sense. That's awesome!
How many chapters long will this story be?
9848093
Hopefully infinite.
9848093
This story is/was planned to conclude at chapter 100
Also, I would say that you should all temper your expectations. My update schedule for this fic is going to be sporadic, and painfully slow. I've only been writing the smallest amounts of it every once in a great while
That new cover is much better then the old one. I approve.
That last bit gave me the giggles, thanks.
Love the new cover art
Shut your pie hole Weiss!!
Pie’m just kidding, you’re the apple of my pie

The artist is Liefsong. You can upload it there if you want.

Thanks!
New art looks sick =D
And wow, 22000 is a hell of a lot of people to keep in a sanity-sucking fear array. He took Amnesia and optimized the fuck out of it.
Great story, loving it. And take all the time you need. A good story comes from an author who loves to write it. As far as I'm concerned, as long as you continue to enjoy making this story and I can read what you create, I'm fine with it taking however long it needs to be to write it.

Yeah but why
Like the new cover art 👍👌

You have a point typically brain cells and certain nerve cells have a life span of, well, your life. So if they can’t speed up this process or find an alternate solution then the most likely outcome ranges from a brain-dead body to a mangled cadaver.
This is assuming that the her point of imminent doom is when Starlight’s plan is foiled and she is on the path to redemption. So 2-3 years give or take.
Loved every moument of this. Good work.
Any plans to come back to this?
9903999
I've got no plans of returning to this anytime soon. That might change later on.

"No refs, no rules, just you, me and Sweet Georgia Brown" .
Diamond in the rough, that game.

Aww i was really enjoying this story. Top three of my favorites. Easy.
So, before I start reading this, are the chapters progressively going forward, or do they bounce back and forth between past and present like the chapter names suggest?
and it's dead.
9966002
he has said the forbidden words,
he cannot be left alive
It's dead Jim. Good story while it lasted.

Howdy. This is still a great story, even if it’s never completed.
Plz update

He said back in October that he had no plans of returning to his story anytime soon. He might return, he might not. So dont despair, but at the same time I wouldn't get your hopes up.
I have to say, you are an amazing author. There is so much going on in here and it all ties together so well, I especially like the way you scientifically explain magic and make up new things about about it. You are very creative, I would love to see you make a sci-fi book. I think your ideas would work very well for sci-fi's about other dimensions with other physics, ( I still want to see a sci-fi that builds up a different set of physics from the ground up and makes it sound believable ) or whatever else strange things you might want to write about.
I would say you could be up there with Phillip K dick. Or at least I think so because I read some of his books, you would just need to sprinkle a lot of general madness, big twists and ethical dilemmas. I actually didn't like the parts centered around the main six that much, I feel like you were constricted having to follow their characters and when I first started reading I thought "this is edgy" with the part where Gilda learns dark magic, but the more you deviated the better it got. It got very, very, good.

It's a stun or sleep skill (though in some games it just disabled moved that use MP) I call it that because usually the effect I see when those moves go off is a little bubble hits my character then I'm left with them just sitting there.
I'm now all caught up.
Will it ever come back? I remember coming back to this every once in a while and finding a nice gift waiting for me there. Thank you for it, though, those times were wonderful!
Was going over the story again and re-reading my favorite parts, I had just read all current chapters of Mother X: Father by Tatsurou, so i had got a big info dump of earthbound lore from looking up names and images as I was reading it, so when I got to the part with the devil's machine and him getting magicant I was like omg.
It's been an entire year. RIP
9904566
Did you just loose the spark for it
Props to making such an extensive world and story. It's quite an undertaking, and not one that goes unnoticed.
I still hope you pick this up again.
