Neocros III: Heroes of Time - Official Trailer · 7:58pm Sep 16th, 2022
Hey again. It's been a little bit since the last post. If you're wondering about the next episodes of The Water Dragon, I'll be getting to work, but I can't promise anything. I currently have 3 more episodes left to write for Water Dragon, and I hope you're looking forward to it. I wish I wasn't obsessing over the dates on the episodes, since TWD is the first in the trilogy but came out later.
As of late, I've neglected Neocros 2. You may have noticed that one of the bonus episodes is gone: Dark's Leave. Yeah, I wanted to edit it, but just haven't gotten to it. Anyways, I was thinking of uploading the bonus chapters after completing the story, as I feel intimidated over writing not one, not two, not even three, but FIVE chapters for Neocros 2 alone. Due to the immense overthinking I end up not doing it. I hope you're okay with me taking the time to tend to my mental health.
...Now, I have been conceptualizing this project for years on end, and now that both TWD and LxD are close to finishing, I think it's time to show a full on trailer for the third and final story of the series. 2021 was meant to be the final year for Neocros, but obviously times have changed, and I've come to realize I don't think that's what people want.
Trauma shapes us in many ways...
...The light shines through the ocean’s surface, giving light to the otherwise dark depths. The soft rays of light illuminating the dark depths, a symbolic way of giving a path to see the heart. From below, ripples are seen as a mysterious heart enters. The heart in the shape of a serpent, horns colored like coral and scales the shade of deep blue, dorsal fins and eyes remain unlit, for the two must fuse back together in order to unlock the final evolution. The heart continues to sink deeper into the sea, awaiting for the Neoriser to hatch…
...The sea shares many secrets, and also hides them. The ocean is a sacred place, a giver of oxygen, and the element combines with carbon to create life. The soft rays of light illuminate the dark depths, while still remaining hidden below. From below, the Neoriser enters it’s liquid embrace, sending ripples from above as it sinks below…
...
Twilight approached the balcony, overseeing everyone as they await the new ruler of Equestria. She was unaware of the arachnids hiding inside her dress.
The day was supposed to be a new chapter to Equestrian history, the dawn of a world now connected through the magic of friendship, but the day ends with a dire warning...
Neocros stared with his eyes watering, as a unicorn with Celestia's body type lays on the ground in front of him, light leaving her body as she told him. "Time.. is becoming paralyzed..."
Darkness... is coming...
“Time has frozen over the lava and we have no idea why this is happening!” Ember exclaims, as she points to the lava, or what seems like it. Gone was the hot, molten land making liquid, and instead in it's place is dull, gray colored waste. Even the steam that came from the lava was frozen midair, defying gravity as it stood motionless, as if time... had stopped.
In a now darkened world, ash covers the ground as there is no sky to be seen in the fires of a dying forest. Corpses of wildlife lay scorching and cooking, and what remained alive were slowly dying out from smoke. Large parasitic creatures stood above the dead animals, having giant dark translucent proboscis skewered into the corpses, with glowing gray fluid inside the membranes...
The woods weren't entirely dead though, for that one equine was running through. The cloaked equine was tall, and holding something in her magical grasp. Suddenly, a large beam of black, smoky energy hit the area next to her. The beam had red electricity fly out from the impact, along with a loud shrill sound erupting from the blast. The equine kept her mouth shut, as her luggage made soft whimpering while six eyes watched her from behind a black charred tree.
"NoTHInG wILl sTOp OUr vICtoRY..." the thing the eyes belonged to said…
"No! I won't let this happen!" Neocros shouts, the corner of his eye shedding a tear. He tried not to look at any of it's eyes, as it loomed over him, despite the both of them being around the same height.
...a dragon is their only hope,
but hope is fragile...
"Why fight, Sam? Death is inevitable." It's voice suddenly got deep, deeper than it had been before. Neocros feels hopeless facing what feels like an unstoppable force.
This Month
Neocros stood on ancient rock, bricks covered in debris as he stared at his foe. He holds onto the Neoriser, the necklace shines brightly, gathering energy by absorbing the water in the air, water from the ground flowing into the heart, giving Neocros strength and courage. His eyes now glows as well, as he prepares for a transformation!
...witness the end of a saga!
Rainbow places her hoof over Neocros’ hand, holding his limp hand with the hope of comforting him.
“I know that it can get you down, especially since that monster is after you.” She says, her words comforting, but it was evident that this was beyond even her. “I promise you things will get better, even if it feels like you’re at rock bottom.”
...
The Neoriser floats down toward the sand at the bottom of the lake. Darkness surrounded it, with only the glow of the moon and the light of itself illuminating the water. The necklace begins making a soft, pulsing sound, similar to a heartbeat. As the Neoriser nears the sand, two glowing eyes stare at the dragon's heart, before closing...
September
The first 2 chapters will be released, not gonna say when, just that I've set a goal for myself to release them this month once and for all. I know this is teasing events that happen after the prologue and episode 1, I wish I had more to show without spoiling what happens. For now, I hope you're looking forward to this fic, since I had this thing conceptualized since 2018, or around that time.
