If there is one talent I have as a writer, it's confusing the living sh*t out of you. (Chapter preview) · 1:14pm Mar 9th, 2015
"Perfect," he said. "Now you've gotten him started. They've passed their little 'test.' Now what's stopping Glare from simply burning them to ashes?"
"Partly me," his friend said proudly. "Partly his own pride. He'll want to take his time with them, like he did with us. That should give us the time we need..."
"How are we going to get the message to Twilight?" he asked. "i hope you're not planning on getting her here the old fashioned way, I have a feeling she'll object."
"Well I would too!" his friend laughed. "Remember, I've been through it! It wasn't a pleasant experience. Could be worse though, It could be dealing with Sirens."
"My question remains, you need to talk to her face to face," he said firmly. "You want me to bring them here. I can do that but the problem is down there I'm currently... incapacitated. How are we going to fix that problem."
"Simple," his friend smiled. "I'm going to wake someone. In turn, they'll wake you. Without realizing it, Glare put her right where I can get her..."
The area around them changed into a meadow during a beautiful starry summer night. In the middle of the field, looking blissfully up at the sky were to ponies, a mare and a stallion. Both of whom were very familiar to him and his friend. His friend stared at the Stallion for quite a while with a far away look. He could tell his friend wanted nothing more than to go over and speak to him. Apologize. Try to save him from the path he went down...
He had to remind his friend of the hard truth.
"Remember," he said softly. "This is an illusion. And it isn't even ours. Don't fall into Glare's trap. This isn't-"
"Real," his friend said as a tear rolled down his cheek. "I know."
His friend walked up and put a firm hoof on the Mare's shoulder.
"Little Wings?" he said softly. "I'm sorry, but you need to wake up.
Confused as to what in Gods name is going on?
Good! That means I win!
Well... Yes. I am.
Because you see, dear author, context is very important. All I see here is some random scene you've pulled out of wherever the hell it is in the chapter, with no surrounding context. Of course it's going to confuse me.
Now if you confuse me with the whole chapter. Then you have won.
...I actually think I know what's going on here, but that's probably only because I've been paying attention to previous AKG hype blogs in recent memory.
The main questions I have are:
Exactly how is Little Wings (Princess Luna) supposed to wake Discord up?
&
Just what knowledge does Starswirl need to give Twilight?
I'll wait for the answers to be revealed in the story, of course. I won't demand them from you in a blog post.
