So for those wondering, I seem to have fallen ill. Specifically Bronchitis. Knowing my body, it will disappear within a week or so, but it has hindered my progress on the next chapter. I am still working on it, though probably not at the same pace as I was. Simply put; might take an extra week.
In return for your patience here's a sneak peek (will be covered with spoilers for those who wish to remain pure):
Excerpt from Chapter 7: Painful Kindness
...Turning to look Twilight in the eyes; the kindly Pegasus mare spoke with an attempt at being in control but broke down mid-sentence and ended up using her naturally soft and warm voice.
“We’re here, alright before we go in, r-remember to respect others' belongings.”
Twilight’s confusion at the statement was conveyed in her reply.
“Others have belongings? I just thought Celestia owned everything.”
Fluttershy chuckled as she pushed open the door and gestured Twilight in.
“Oh-oh my, yes. And she does, but those under her rule are permitted to have our own possessions; provided she doesn’t declare otherwise.”
Twilight’s jaw nearly hit the floor in shock at the sight within. The walls were decorated with axes, knives, swords, and shields; all stained with dark crimson and well worn. Twilight was in awe at the trophies displayed upon the wall. All shapes and sizes, they were from all over Equus, not just Equestria. As she looked around at the hundreds of wall hangings, she asked Fluttershy.
“Whose room is this anyway? And where did they get all of these?”
Trotting over to the bed, Fluttershy said simply.
“Rainbow Dash. Though a bit barbaric; she has a habit of taking the weapon she uses to rid an area of cultist infestation.”
You get well soon!
