Civil War of Harmony... Chapter 10. · 5:51am Feb 15th, 2018
I'm so confused.
I nodded my head as I thought it over, "Sergeant," I turned towards him, "How is the training of... My army... Coming along?"
I don't remember rereading this [her starting to get an army].
"You could... Contact another nation and try to convince them to help you, for one. Another option is to try to get support from more cities. Cloudsdale is currently within our territory and has yet to declare any allegiance. Or you could always try to convince more guards to defect, Celestia's forces would be at low morale currently from their defeats."
I forgot about the defection idea too... but at least I remembered it and have plans for it?
I nodded my head, "I think it would be worth the risk... But I need to wait a while before doing something like that, I'm still not at full power from..." I trailed off, he already knew. Bringing it up again would... Yeah, I'm not bringing it up again.
What is this? I don't remember this. What happened? Why is Twilight like this? Wat. I'm so confused... Do I need to rereread the first 9 chapters? I really don't remember anything happening. If you remember what happened, please tell me. Or, I don't know, maybe I really screwed up and that's a plot hole...
Note to self: NEVER hiatus so long you don't remember the story ever again.
But unicorns had grown significantly more powerful, magically speaking in the past thousand years. They had rendered chemical explosives obsolete with devastating new spells that required more magic than most unicorns of old could be trained to wield. Of course, in the ancient times there were more unicorns that had unmatched powers, such as King Sombra. He could go head to head with an alicorn, and win. He defeated the first crystal princess after all...
"Wait, is that a plot hole!? Wait, oh yeah! I remember this... just have to reread the entire thing. The part about unicorns' magic evening out now compared to way back then."
comparative advantage
I love economics.
"I know what I'm doing this time, it won't drain my magic like the last time I did this." Rainbow didn't reply, I held my stare for a few seconds before returning to the crystal I held. I looked over at the pile of varying other crystals I had. The pile contained varying crystals ranging from emerald, topaz, sapphire, ruby, and many others. They also varied in size from something Rarity could use to something as large as my hoof.
Last time... is that what she was referring to earlier? Why do I not remember rereading that? Seriously, what the heck? I'm the author, I'm supposed to know this stuff. It seems somewhat bad that I don't remember this. Additionally, I don't remember what I was actually going to say after "additionally."
I snapped my talons and my cards re-appeared in my paw and I laid back into my new, much more comfortable chair. I looked at my cards, all were jokers. I lifted a paw to my eyes and made sunglasses appear, I promptly threw them off. "Fold."
Ah yes, the completely random Discord part. I enjoyed adding that in. There really was absolutely no reason for adding that in other than just to add it in. Rereading that gave me a chuckle and a smile; it was worth it.
And now I remember what may have come after "additionally." Additionally, perhaps I should reread all of the stories I've written, cause I'm sure I don't remember a lot of it now.
Hey, I finally finished rereading chapter 10!
Wait, no I remember what came after additionally! It was me questioning if it was bad that I didn't remember what happened, since I was the author, and wondering if it was really bad since it could mean what happened wasn't memorable. If the author didn't remember, then how could the scene/event have been memorable!?
Why am I even making this blog post? It's almost 12 A.M. for me. But hey I made progress! It's better than nothing... right?
Man I am glad I've improved my writing skills since this chapter. Wait, I assume, hope, and think I've improved... I have improved, right? I mean the chapter's okay. I don't have any major problems with it (aside from not remembering anything because of how bad I am at rereading my own stories). I can actually see the appeal of this story. And that surprises me. Maybe I am a good writer after all.
Or maybe I'm just full of myself and arrogant.
I'm going to bed now. Rereading this story is high on my to-do list so I can work on the next chapter.
This blog post exists because I was confused by the first part of the chapter, so I started this post and continued to reread, adding stuff as I came across it. Now I remember some important stuff, including some of the questions I asked. I'm still posting this, hope you've enjoyed my exhausted ramblings!
...I may have, for some inexplicable reason, just scrolled down to try to find the Author's Notes box for some reason.
This... was entertaining. Glad I read this before turning in for the night and I'm glad you caught up... with yourself... and the story... I guess?
Wow... Good for you that you're back to it?..
Uhm... Go Go Author Powers!
