Trembling from the change in Chronos’ voice, Flicker tried to look at the dark alicorn and found that he couldn’t. Majesty radiated from Chronos in waves, a tangible, kinetic force. Flicker felt like he was all of five years old again and part of him wanted to grovel on the ground. The sounds of clocks ticking filled Flicker’s ears, along with chiming bells, perhaps an indicator that his hour had come?
Having died, knowing that his friends were dying, his beloved guild was dying, Flicker felt rage bubble up from within him. The rage tore open a chasm of rebellion, and something truly awful came crawling out of Flicker’s subconscious. “Fuck you, you pompous prick, I don’t have you tell you shit. My reasons are my own.”
Hᴀ!
Lima’s sudden outburst was like a thunderclap and Chronos raised one eyebrow as he turned to glare at her. After a moment, he focused his commanding gaze upon Flicker, and his ears pivoted forwards. Pale began sniggering, but after a deep, resonating growl from his brother, Pale fell silent and dropped into a submissive posture.
“The unmitigated gall…” Chronos muttered and then he drew in a deep breath in hopes of recovering his patience. “The audacity from this little twerp!”
“The reason why I chose him.” Lima lifted her head as high as possible to challenge Chronos, and her ears angled out in an aggressive manner over her face. “In the face of gods or Grogar, he will be defiant until—”
“Enough, Lima.” Chronos said the words and the zebra mare went silent as she dropped into a more submissive stance. Her ears drooped and she averted her eyes from Chronos, focusing on Flicker instead.
Well then... feel free to discuss.
We have a Weedverse story where there is growth from death. It's an odd concept to write about.
Now I'm more confused... marvelous.
Flicker finally rebels. Character growth is always marvelous.
I guess Lord Death just needed to die a little, rather than live a little.
Granted at this point one can surmise that Flicker is dead. However the question is: will Flicker will stay dead or will he return to the land of the living. For that matter, what kind of world will Flicker come back to? Will he be undead? Will he have to exterminate all the rats before he can pass from the mortal coils? There are many, many questions. Hopefully they will be answered soon.
4459021 I don't see why people are worried about him staying dead, we saw him, Hennessy, and Piper five years later in the Quesadilla story.
