//------------------------------// // Dark Week // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// Hades Soulwatcher Deity, Unseen, Chooser Eldest of the gods and ruler of the unseen, Hades remained quiet for millennia. With time, however, he grew jealous of his younger brothers for being worshiped and adored. His growing envy lead to his corruption and subsequent battle with Zeus for control of Gumania. Believed to have been saved by the chosen, Hades has kept quiet for the time being. Siblings: Zeus, Poseidon Place of birth: Holy Olympus Divine power: Soulcraft Follower: Blazen Ruul Focus: Spirit "Weren't you impressed until you hit the floor?" With things going on, I'm the one to post this, I guess :( RRBB and PaintDrop haven't come to school, Scoots is at home with a fever, and my stupid sis has left for Manehattan leaving me to take care of our cat... :( I'm not a happy pony. SweetStuff Sorry :( My sis got me doing chores or I'd pass by to help. WaterBottle @WaterBottle: *sigh* And my sweetheart is off to Rainbow Falls with his brother. My stomach hurts when I think about RRBB. She was so sad yesterday :( SweetStuff Yes, a lot of ponies doing unwell :( Snips got food poisoning, half the class have hay flu. Sweet and Short are feeling miserable. I'll dash home during break to get candy canes for all. Twist @Twist: You're sweet, but that's not the problem I think. MixaMax I know everypony's worried, but maybe not post this in public, okay? :/ Yes, RRBB is going through something right now. She had a very rough now and is, from what I understand, sleeping. I've already spoken with the school and will be taking her books and homework to bring to her today. PaintDrop Whoa! It's like a hurricane hit you :( So pant ponies sad and depressed. Am I missing something or what? Feather Don't ask... PaintDrop @PaintDrop: I think it might be a good idea for everyone from class to go with you, just to show we care? I mean only those who could. (The cat won't mind a being left for a few hours more.) :) SweetStuff @SweetStuff: I'm not sure that's a good idea. RR wants to remain alone for a while. Even I won't stay. PaintDrop @all: I'm quitting the site. I was thinking of doing this silently, but that would be mean to all of you who helped me despite what I am (in every sense of the word). Looking at it I don't deserve you, I never have. Just because I have a few bits more hasn't given me the right to treat you like *yay*. I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. I'm sorry I didn't see so many things earlier. This has been a long time coming. Even before the meet-up, I was considering quietly vanishing into inactivity. I let myself to be convinced otherwise, and For a while I even thought I was getting better. The universe, though had other things in store. Yesterday I had a fight with one of my closest friends. In a few months I'll lose another. I know the site is not responsible, but I associate the loss with it, and as such it's become too painful for me to remain. @LyraHands: I'm so sorry. You've no idea how often I think of you as a mother, always looking out for me. I won't be deleting my account, but I don't expect to open it again, so don't waste PMs. Bye RRBB @RRBB: :( You were one of the the first Nightling ponies I met, even before Lyra made the site. Isn't there something I could do? Brush @Brush: I don't think she'll answer. To be honest, I don't feel that happy either. Not the best way before a MCE chapter, but there you have it. Life goes on, I guess. PaintDrop I am aware that you probably don't want to hear advice from an old hoot such as myself, but I'll say it anyway. There's no pain that hurts as much as the heart. There's no greater stupidity either. As a pony who's been through a few breakups, and had his wife taken before her time, I can safely say I'm familiar with such pain. I'm fully aware you'll probably laugh at these words. I'm not you, after all, and as such have no idea what you're going through. Maybe you're right. Maybe I don't know, but what I am aware of is that even pain is just a feeling. In time it will fade away. At this point it's all up to you. When the moment comes, will you treasure it, as a comfortable remnant of the past, or will you cast it away and dare take a chance at happiness once more? Only you can answer that. Many can give you advice, but at the end of the day it remains your decision. Just know that no matter what you decide, this old stallion is honoured to have known you. The TechNightling @The TechNightling: Duude! That's some speech! Not only is it 100% true, but it's so well said... you should be writing. @RRBB: first three heartbreaks are the toughest. Take some time off, but hang in there ;) LightSparkle @RRBB: I understand. Always here for you, okay? LyraHands I knew I should have flown to see you! :/ CEOWitch @CEOWitch: I don't think it would have made any difference. :( PaintDrop Life hurts... :( Short&Hoofy @RRBB: The moment I'm back from Canterlot, I'll have a few words with you. You have no idea what an impossibly idiot you are!!! Yes, I said it! I'll say even more! You're like a pony who puts spikes on her horseshoes—burying yourself and others because you're too stupid and stubborn to look at the *yay* horseshoes and see that things are messed up! I'm the last pony who should do that, but I'll spell things out for you! I'll paint them all over your house if I have to! And then we'll have a talk on self pity! MixaMax That's enough, Max. Locking the thread. LyraHands
