“Now my student, I want you to be careful when talking to him. He hasn’t had the best opinion of me, since ever.” I heard being said as my cell was flooded with light from the door being opened and in walked the one who sentenced me here and a little filly who I am guessing is her student.
“Where is he Princess? All I can see is a hanging skeleton.” The filly asked.
“Why doesn’t he introduce himself? We're waiting Dealer, go on introduce yourself.” I was told to do, but she never told me how to do it.
“Little filly would you like to play a game?” I ask as I let my card deck slide free from my right sleeve into my hoof.
“What kind of game?” She asked
“Why a card game, what else would I have to play for the last 999 years?” I ask and after a few moments she agrees to play a game and without asking Celestia’s permission conjures a table and releases me from my chains.
“Alright little miss I want you to choose three cards. You to Celestia, choose three just like your sister did.” I said to both the filly and Celestia and I could feel the glare that she leveled at me without even looking at her as I watched the filly chose three and she picked three in her magic.
“Alright lay them on the table face up. Alright now you little filly have chose Magic, Friendship, and Destiny. These cards represent that you are fated to have great magical power, this power will be wielded with friends, for it is all a part of Destiny’s plan. And you Celestia have drawn the Moon, the Nightmare, and the Sistership cards. These cards show that your sister will return one day from the Moon, still corrupted, but will within days be purified and your sister will be returned to you. Now any questions, little filly?” I ask the filly.
“Yes, I was wondering how you got here? Could you tell us?” The filly asks.
“I am sorry little one, but it seems that even after all this time Celestia here still doesn’t want her little ponies to be around me for very long.” I said to her, still feeling that hateful gaze focused towards me, though slightly lessened at the news that her sister being returned. And after I said this the filly and Celestia left, but not before giving me one last glare and putting the chains back on me and putting my cards in my inside coat pocket to where I couldn’t reach them.
I rather enjoy the premise of this story, though the flow as of right now seems a bit choppy. I am impressed, as I have not come across too many stories using the archetype of the seer, I hope to see a promising story like this bear fruit!
You built a dam in the flow.
yay, metaphorical puns...
We simply state the story written and all the factors for it, are reduced to rubbish by how 'immersion breaking' tis bestowed onto our eyes.
so....in all that time Celestia never once questioned Dealer and found out he has no idea what she is talking about?
and if she hates him so much why did she bring Twilight to see him?
there are some glaring logic problems here.
6937781 Sorry, for the memory thing I should have made it more clear that he has bits and pieces of The Dealer's memories from his original Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons version. And tha the will get more of his actual memories as the story progresses.
6937796 She still hates him, but in that time period of a thousand years or so she has calmed down and has begun to have some doubts, with most of the hate now coming from the fact that he predicted Luna's corruption and that she didn't see it coming.
6937807 hmm...alright, I can see that. Though I do still think you need to slow up a bit on the speed of the chapters as events happen rather rapidly leaving no time for some one to digest what is gong on.
as I said I love the concept as The Dealer was one of my favorite characters from Project Horizons.
