Delays due to illness · 3:24am Sep 12th, 2023
G'day all. Unfortunately due to my entire household catching a bug (a mix between hay fever and bronchitis), I have been unable to write for two weeks now. I apologise for the inconvenience and pray for a swift recovery so that I can get on with it.
So to appease those looking forward to the next chapter of A Sword in Equestria, here's a preview.
“A duel?!” the guard Coppellion who was treating the downed captain’s injury shrieked with fury, “Why in bloody Tartarus would you want a duel?! Isn’t it enough that you bully us into submission? Why not just kill us now and be done with it?!”
The dog shook his head, “Tut tut tut, you’re missing the big picture, my little guardspony. The Hero must face the Villain before the opposing sides clash at each other. It is the way the story must progress. My Story. I have invested far too much to let my endeavour fall before my moment of glory. I have planned for every contingency that not even the Princess can out plan my pet project. Any attempt to disrupt my tale will ensure Equestria bleeds for it.”
“W-What do you mean?” Silverstream asked.
His grin grew wider, almost resembling a crocodile, “Just picture it; the shock, panic and outrage of Canterlot when they realise my little illegal mining operation, implemented with slave labour. The entirety of the Royal Guard will come rushing in to the rescue and would dispense justice against me and my boys for our villainy. It would be a shame if say the caverns cave-in on itself, burying Equestria’s finest along with all those poor innocent souls who slaved away, never to see the light of day again.”
