	Hello and good day everypony.

Quest For Harmony has finally reached the final chapter. Finally. >.>

In all honesty though, this fic should have ended on Chapter 20, since I plan on making a sequel where another human in the human world will be selected to help the war but, hm... Actually, I forgot the reason why I decided to continue the story.

And then, as I went on, I planned to end it when Gold Blitz and Spike finally captured Twilight and stopped the war, but then the randomest idea of adding the Windigoes popped up out of nowhere, and so, there, the fic continued.

Sombra causing chaos was far too long for the heroes of the fic to stop, and I've desperately wanted Sombra to just, disappear already, but I didn't want the fic to look bad. So there, finally, he's defeated! <.<

Anyway, the fic was far too long for my liking, yet I decided not to abandon it nor to end it shitty like or crappy or whatever. I think, the ending was, acceptable, I guess? Not entirely sure, but meh. :3

Then I want to talk about other stuff of the fic...

Since I decided to continue the fic longer than what I originally planned, I decided to have Gold Blitz be partied by each one of the Mane 6. Like how Applejack joined Gold Blitz towards Unicornia, or how he and Pinkie tagged along while digging up gems, with Fluttershy in the Everfree, and Rainbow Dash in the human world. I've had the idea of Gold Blitz and Rarity tagging along in a mission or something, where Rarity will learn the value of Generosity, like how Blitz told Pikie to remember to smile, or how he told Fluttershy to always be kind to everypony. =/

There's a chapter where the Mane 6 fainted when Sombra roared or something. The original plan was that the Crystal Heart will force him and other creatures back to their world, but then it gets destroyed. Then, Gold Blitz will resume DIscord's ponified body to give the elements to their respective bearers, but I had no idea how Gold Blitz will handle Discord's chaotic spirit in control once the last Element Spirit be given to the bearer. =/

And then the Cover Art. If you noticed, there's a parasprite. There's a random idea I had that will make the Crystal Heart be useless. So instead, Blitz will ask Twilight to enchant a parasprite to devour crystals. Apple Bloom will then tell Twilight that the Cutie Mark Crusaders fought and broke a few crystal ponies, so Twilight will perform a scanning spell on them to get a few small fragments on their coats. Twilight will use that small fragment for her enchanting magic, and then send the parasprite to the human world. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to pull the story's path that way.

Also, I had a leftover story, if ever I once again decided to continue the fic. In it, Kronz and Xilfer will be accidentally be warped to Equestria, and turned into a Unicorn and a Pegasi. Here, Gold Blitz will hunt down his brother Xilfer the Pegasus and convince him to return home. Xilfer always hated his father, and always wanted to start a new life, and now that he have it, he'll try his best to protect his new life, even against his own older brother.

Unfortunately, there's a conflict. Jay's consciousness was only sent to Equestria, not his whole being and suddenly turned into a pony. Secondly, Rainbow Dash and Spike went to the human world, but they didn't change form. So, the idea was scrapped.

I also planned to have the six introduced humans carry the Elements of Harmony, if only for a short while. These would be Jay, Xilfer, Kronz, Claire, Rose, and Raziel. But, that was only it, an idea. I had no story as to why they'll wield it, so it was scrapped.

There was also an idea of mine that, after everything calmed down, and if the fic does continue, then Raziel will be appearing more, and will try and force Jay to be with her rather than Claire. But, the theme is way out of the original fic's theme, so, cancelled.

And there's also an idea that while Twilight and the gang went out to help Jay, Starfall would take over Unicornia and resume the war. However, Twilight is far more skillful than he is, so he'll be defeated quite easily, so idea was cancelled. That, and the Windigoes could just easily freeze him to death, I guess?

Also, the original reason for why Big Mac decided to stay with Twilight during the war was, I planned for him to be secretly the one leaking the unicorns' plans to the pegasi. Originally, I wanted him, Shining, and Could Strike to be into some sort of team, where they secretly plan their move to overthrow Twilight. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to pull the story to that direction...

About Boulder... Originally, when I began the story, I wanted him to be a unicorn with parents of a unicorn and an earth pony. That is why he shows concern to earth ponies than other unicorns, but, after the CMC rescued Gold Blitz from Unicornia, I somehow, forgot all about him... My bad, I guess? (I only remembered him when I was editing Chapter 3).

I planned to introduce Trixie, Soarin', Spitfire, and Lightning Dust, but, I haven't thought of a story for them. So, cancelled... Although I planned to have Trixie cast illusions to delay the heroes, but I never got the chance to insert her into the story. Aw well...

And... I think that's all, I guess.

Anyway, it was a fun ride, and I hope lots of readers enjoyed reading this fic of mine. This fic, Quest For Harmony, is the first fic I ever wrote that had far too many chapters and I still forced myself to finish it. :3

So, thanks to everyone who liked, disliked, and shared their opinions on this fic. :3
