Coming up: Concluding chapter of Fluttershy's Iron Will · 2:53am May 26th, 2020
I just needed to finish it, because Amulet of Shades couldn't go on until I did.
Yes, I know it is only a side-story, but... Flutters and Discord will play an important role down the line, and I had to set their course on the right path!
I didn't mean for the final chapter to be 7800 words... I wanted to just get the darn thing out of my docs... but, I cared for these characters a little too much, and I could not treat the subject lightly... Call me a romantic. I ought to be. Been married for 26 years now and still going strong.
Anyway, Cadence plays a big role in this one. (On some days, I feel like she is Best Princess. Some days...) So for your enjoyment, I'll include a little excerpt:
Cadence stepped closer, leaning upwards to whisper in the draconequus’ ear. “It’s because you chose her.” She pointed a hoof back at the mirrors. “You chose her over that.”
Discord raised a bushy eyebrow. “I don’t follow. I chose love over chaos? Hardly.”
“No.” Cadence smiled. “You chose her over yourself.” Discord looked off to the side again, his eyes gaining a distant look. “When you allowed yourself to become ‘reformed,’ as Auntie Celestia calls it, you made a singular choice. You demonstrated in this choice that you valued Fluttershy’s desires over your own. And her friendship. You chose her, in every sense of the word.”
This chapter wraps up nicely, and ties into the coming chapter of The Amulet of Shades. It deals with such things as love, regret, relationships, and self-loathing. And before you think that sounds a little on the preachy side, just know that it's me, your friendly neighborhood Sparkle Cola. I keep it light and bubbly. And if not side-splittingly funny, I'll at least put a smile on your face. And for you Fluttercord lovers out there? You're welcome.
Oh, and while I'm here, have another comic.
For you readers of Amulet, well hey! It's Narcisse!
Yay.
Still looking for a pre-reader. Let me know if you’re interested...
