Epilogue
Canterlot was built on the slopes of a mountain. It was a fact that had a lot of hidden baggage tied up into it. One of the biggest being that the city’s cemeteries couldn’t always be burried into the earth.
The solution to that problem had mostly been above ground mausoleums, decorated to blend in with the architecture of the city. And one of those mausoleums was exactly where Princess Celestia was going today.
Photos, trinkets and candles were sat before many of the stone chambers. Little shrines of memories, combined with offerings to ponies long and recently dead. An attempt to help guide the spirits of the dead to the Elysian Fields.
The sound of soft weeping ahead made her slow as she walked around the corner into the row she had been looking for. After some digging, she had been able to determine where Skitch-Sketch had initially been entombed and she recognized the two ponies standing in front of her grave.
Apple Polish, with her straight brown mane and cream colored coat, was one of the teachers at her own School for Gifted Unicorns. Her head was bowed, her body shaking as she sobbed, her horn glowing as she rested a photo against the vault.
Standing at her side, with a foreleg draped across her back, was her husband, Black Marble. His wavy mane matched his name, while his coat was a pristine white. While he wasn’t sobbing, he looked no less devastated, his head hanging as well.
Apple Polish plucked a piece of paper covered with writing from a nearby saddlebag, resting it next to the photo. “A-and may the Elysian Advocate argue with vigor,” She then pulled a small iron bar from the pack, resting it against the photo and the document, “May Thanatos show mercy in his judgement,” Finally, she placed a golden coin atop the iron, “And may the grasp of Tartarus pass over my little girl.”
“It is rare.” Celestia spoke up, as she approached, “To see the old prayers spoke.”
“Celestia.” Apple Polish gasped, almost tripping into a bow, “I…”
“You don’t have to explain yourself to me.”
“Since she just…” Black Marble sighed, “She didn’t make it to the Fields before….”
“I know. But I am quite sure she has this time. According to Twilight Sparkle, she left this world on much happier terms than before.”
With a pair of sad smiles, the parents bowed their heads to Celestia.
“Thank you for your kind words Princess.” Apple Polish said. “But I think that we’re going to take our leave. Grieve in private.”
“Of course.”
Princess Celestia watched the couple go, before placing the tip of her horn on the vault door, and tracing a simple sun sigil upon its surface. She stared at it for a moment before frowning and shaking her head.
It didn’t feel like it was enough.
Trotting back out of the crypt, she took wing and flew back to her bedroom in the castle. Landing neatly on the balcony, she trotted back inside and over to a mirror.
Ornately constructed with a golden frame, most ponies assumed that it was just another part of the princesses bedroom decor. In reality, however, it was a bit more special than that. Horn glowing, Celestia stepped forward, pushing through the glass.
The warmth of her bedroom fell away, the coldness of polished marble springing up in place. Emerging from the mirror, she stepped into a large oval shaped chamber that was very similar to a legislative chamber in the waking world. Three rings of seats set before dark marble desktops, each one marked with a golden nameplate.
Not pausing, she trotted across the marble floor, the clip-clop of her hooves echoing in the empty chamber. The room was only ever full in very specific circumstances and this was not one of them. Heading to the second level, she picked one of the seats and forced her way through the wall behind.
The scene suddenly changed again, the marble of the senate hall replaced with the dark and polished wood of an elegant looking courtroom. Two low tables sat before the raised box where a judge would sit.
A figure sat at each table, both of them familiar to her.
The first was a young pegasus mare, with a light brown coat and neatly trimmed blonde mane and tail, a hoof pointing with authority marking her flanks. At the sight of Princess Celestia, a wide grin cracked her muzzle and she dipped into a bow.
“It’s good to see you again, Celestia.”
“And you as well Stare Decisis. It has been a long time.”
“A very long time.”
“And yet, you’re still here, arguing the laws of the dead.”
Stare grinned all the wider. “Death itself couldn’t drag me away from the law.”
“Bah! Sentimental drivel.”
Those words belonged to what one could charitably call “opposing counsel”. The bipedal figure was covered in shaggy brown fur, great bat like wings growing from his back. His elongated head was topped with pointed ears, and a crooked fang poked from his lip, while his dark eyes darted to and fro with a nervous energy.
Scorpan. Tartarus’ dagger in the dark.
When he felt like it at least. In all the centuries Celestia had known the beast, she had always known him to take the easy way out. In fact she had a running theory that Scorpan only dickered over the souls of the dead to stay far away from the lord of Tartarus and his anger.
“That,” Celestia frowned, “Is your opinion, Scorpan.”
“Ahh,” A third voice, this one deep and devoid of mith, joined the conversation, “Opinions. Everycreature has them.”
Shadows coiled around the bench, forming and solidifying into a figure. Like Celestia, it was an alicorn, but that was where the similarities ended.
A powerfully built stallion, his coat was black as coal, save for the long, feathered white “socks” around his fetlocks and pasterns. His color and the size, easily a foot taller than Celestia herself, cut an intimidating figure.
His cutie-marks didn’t help with that perception. A pony skull, marked with the outline of a gavel in the dead center of the forehead. His deep red eyes seemed almost devoid of warmth as he stared down at Celestia from the bench. Gray robes were draped across his form, matching the dull gray of his solid iron right hoof.
“But as I wear the robes, mine are the only ones that matter here.”
“Good to see you too, brother.”
“Call me by name in chambers.” He growled.
“Very well, Thanatos.”
Satisfied, the judge of the dead settled back into his seat. “What can I do for the sun today?”
“I wished to speak of some souls that have passed and may have passed through in the last week. The filly Skitch-Sketch,” She thought for a moment, “And the foreign creature known as The Collector.”
Thanatos waved a hoof. “Skitch-Sketch passed through my court and into the Elysian Fields. Easy judgement.”
“The human.” He frowned slightly, “As he passed from Equis, I can not say for sure if he died or not. Though, I would be surprised if he did somehow manage to survive. Rainbow Dash’s strike would have killed him in time anyway.”
“You sound almost relieved.”
“I was not looking forward to judging the soul born outside our universe. It would have been...interesting.”
“Hmm. Very well. Can I speak with Skitch-Sketch then?”
The alicorn of the dead tilted his head slightly, regarding Celestial with a detached sense of disbelief.
“I should refuse you. You tied yourself to the mortal realm. What happens beyond the veil is not your concern anymore.”
Celestia gave a melancholy smile.
“Then throw me out.”
Thanatos sighed heavily. “I would not. We are still family.” A door to the right of his stand creaked open. “Go ahead.”
Bowing her head in a gesture of thanks, Celestia trotted through the door and stepped into a warm and sunny meadow. A single tree stood a few feet ahead of her, a leaf green pony sitting in the shade under its boughs. Smiling, she trotted over to Skitch-Sketch’s side, lowering herself onto her barrel.
Skitch-Sketch looked up from the sketchpad that rested between her forehooves, eyes sparkling with light and energy.
“Princess!” You’re here? Did everything work out? Is Equestria safe?”
“Yes. Yes it is, my little pony. Everyone is okay.”
She sighed in relief, picking up a pencil and returning to her drawing. “Good. Now I can rest easy.”
“Skitch-Sketch...I am sorry that I wasn’t able to protect you.”
“Princess...it’s okay. I’m not angry anymore. And I don’t blame you.” She smiled offering her pencil to Celestia, “But I could use some help with my drawing.”
Taking up the pencil, the princess began to draw.
- - - -
A rich chocolate cake was carefully lowered into the box, which was then sealed up and topped with a big pink bow. Pinkie Pie then carefully slid the completed dessert onto her head and made for the door, shouting back towards the kitchen as she went.
“I’m off to deliver the cake!”
“Okay Pinkie!” Mrs. Cake called back, stepping behind the counter, “Give Ditzy my best wishes.”
Trotting through the streets of Ponyville, Pinkie kept her usual bounce in her step, humming a happy tune as she went, occasionally pausing only to wave at passing ponies. She had been busy over the last week, cheering ponies up in light of the sudden holes in their memory.
Not that she hadn’t been a little sad herself at times. She hadn’t really walked through the town square over the last week. Nopony really knew what to do with Skitch-Sketch’s Art Emporium, so it remained locked up, and the empty building couldn’t help but make Pinkie frown.
She never had thrown Skitch-Sketch her welcome to Ponyville party.
She pushed those sad thoughts from her mind as she reached Ditzy Doo’s house, and knocked a hoof against the door. The door cracked open, the mailmare peering out at her. Pinkie beamed right back, tilting the box towards her.
“Heya Ditzy! I have the double-delicious chocolate cake you ordered!”
“Thanks Pinkie.” Ditzy grinned wide, carefully balancing the box on one hoof, “Can I still count on you for Dinky’s birthday party next week?”
“Of course! I wouldn’t pass up the chance!”
Nodding, Ditzy ducked back inside the house, and Pinkie began to trek back towards Sugarcube Corner.
That was until a shiver rushed down her spine, her tail rapidly twitching and her ears flip-flopping in a surge of her self titled Pinkie Sense.
“Twitcha-twitch?” She blinked, a wide grin crossing her muzzle. She was off like a bolt, tearing through the streets as fast as her legs could take her. Bouncing over ponies, swerving past carts and boxes, she came sliding into the town square.
She scanned the open space, grinning every wider when a leaf green pony stepped out of town hall, a key clutched in her amber magic aura.
“Skitchyyyy!” Pinkie shouted, charging right at the unicorn, and then throwing herself into a flying hug tackle. Jane looked up, her eyes going wide as the ball of pink and fluff hurtled towards her. The hug slash impact sent the two tumbling end over end, off the porch, and onto a nearby patch of grass.
“I missed you too Pinkie.” Jane smiled, patting Pinkie’s back as she hugged her tight.
“You came back! I thought that you weren’t going come back?”
“Well, as I ran around, returning all of these items The Collector stole, I began to think about the situation and the possibility of exploring something new.” She ruffled Pinkie’s mane, “So, I said ‘What the hell.’ talked to my parents about it, and here I am.”
Pinkie gasped, letting go and hopping into the air with a flourish of movement. “I can throw you your ‘Welcome to Ponyville!’ party!”
She was gone in a flash, leaving Jane chuckling to herself as she pushed herself back to her hooves, and slowly walked to her home away from home.
“I wish I could harness even half of her energy.”
- - - -
It was early evening by the time Pinkie had managed to pull everything together. She had pulled out all the stops, presumably trying as hard as she could to make up for the fact that Skitch-Sketch’s original “Welcome to Ponyville!” party only had existed in a banished memory.
Decorations had been set up all around the Ponyville town square including, most impressively, a series of streamers that ran from the spire of town hall to the roofs of the buildings that bordered the space. Tables both for holding food and drink, and for ponies to eat at, were likewise set up all around the square, that had to be crammed with over a hundred ponies all enjoying one of Pinkie's biggest bashes yet.
Jane sat a little away from where the main crowd was mingling at the moment, a plate of cake and a full flagon of hard cider resting on a small crate before her. While it was her party, she had grabbed some refreshments and then snuck away for some alone time. She watched the assorted ponies, occasionally taking a bite of cake as she took it all in and thought; though she would have to get over there soon, or Pinkie would start looking for her.
“Isn't this party for you? Sitting off on your own doesn't seem all that much fun.”
Jane glanced at the voice. A white furred earth pony with wavy pink mane and tail, yellow eyes and a wide smiling sun cutie-mark was standing next to her; a coy smile was evident as she looked Jane over. She had approached amazingly quietly.
For her part, she smirked right back. “Hello again, Celestia. Cute disguise you have there, though the sun mark gives it away some. Why the incognito approach?”
“Mostly because I wished to speak with you in private. Imagine my surprise when I returned from some business to find a letter from Twilight detailing your return. I thought that your mind was quite made up.”
“Situations change.” Skitch said simply, before taking a long drink of cider.
“I see.” Celestia said as she took a seat next to the unicorn. “And your intentions?”
“I'm just looking for a place to call home again.”
Celestia blinked tilting her head slightly.
“What of your old...”
“Celestia...I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm just not ready to talk about it.”
There was a pause for a moment, before Celestia got to her hooves again and nudged Jane in the side with her head.
“Well then, I suggest that you go and make nice with your new neighbors. No sitting here like some kind of depressed poet. Your new ruler commands it!” She finished with a giggle.
Jane looked at Celestia and shook her head. “Okay, okay, I'm going!”
Celestia watched her disappear into the crowd. Nodding to herself she teleported back to Canterlot...after grabbing the slice of cake that had been left behind, of course.
As Jane walked back into the crowd she was aware of just how many eyes were on her, each pony most likely asking their own internal questions about the unicorn's desires. Applejack glanced at her from where she was helping herself to some cake.
“Ah, there ya went. Don'tcha think you should properly introduce yourself ta the town?”
“Speech from the human!” Came Lyra's half drunk call, as she raised a mug of hard cider.
The crowd agreed, cheering as Skitch hopped up on an empty table.
“Thank you Ponyville! Allow me to introduce myself properly this time, devoid of any spells or outside interference. My name is…” She paused for a barest of moments, “Skitch-Sketch, formerly Jake, formerly of the planet Earth and new arrival to the condition of pony kind.”
She looked out over the crowd taking in each pony as she continued to speak.
“While I did live here for a few weeks before, that is hardly enough time to live among such excellent and admirable ponies.”
A cheer rolled through the party.
“I don't know half of you half as well as I would like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”
This lead to more of a mummer of confusion.
“I kid, I kid.” Skitch continued as she held up a hoof. “In all seriousness, I hope to come to know you well as both a friend and a neighbor as I settle into life here in Ponyville.”
An appreciative round of stomping applause filled the square as Skitch jumped down from the table.
“Now! This is a Pinkie Pie party is it not? Enough pontification from me. Let's get crazy up in here!”
- - - -
“That party was a blast.” Skitch thought as she sat on the ground, stomach full of delicious vanilla and lemon flavored cake as well as a few mugs of rich and hardy cider.
Everypony had broken away after the festivities had wrapped up, Skitch returning to her own place. She paused outside the door though, turning and watching the rest of the houses as each of the lights snapped off. Only when Ponyville was engulfed in darkness, she walked back inside to where her saddlebags were resting in the corner of the main room.
Grabbing them, she trotted upstairs to her bedroom. She began to pull items out of the bags, which seemed to be much larger on the inside as she yanked out things that wouldn't fit in a normal saddlebag.
The first was a sleek and futuristic media center that was tucked next to her desk. The next item removed resembled a small pistol in size and shape, but not much else. The barrel was a tube of glass, framed with a bronze cage, tipped with a bronze opening; a small knob stood out on the side and a crackling line of electricity danced along the inside of the gun. That was stowed in one of the desk drawers.
She pulled out another firearm next. A large, sleek rifle made of silvery-gray metal that looked like something out of a science fiction movie; a glowing line of green light running down either side of it's barrel. That was tucked away in the closet.
Finally she turned to some personal effects. Starting with a piece of paper plucked from her saddlebags, she looked it over with a slightly sad smile before tucking it between the wall and the edge of her bedpost where the hand drawn picture of her family would watch over her while she slept.
Pleased enough with what she had done right now, she closed the drawer and the closet. Climbing up into bed she looked out over the sleeping town, a determined look on her face.
“No one is going to hurt this town or world again.”
Her eyes narrowed.
“No one.”
And with that, she yanked the covers over her to try and get some sleep.

So what now? A rewrite of the other stories?
4328852
The others don't require massive re-writes, I think. I can tweek a scene here or there, to match some of what I've expanded on here. But this re-write was more to bring A Skitch in Time more in with what I had written post it.
Right now my plans are to continue with Boast Bypassed on one hand, and work on fics for the Lunaverse and stand alone projects on the other. Skitchverse and Lunaverse stuff will continue to be updated on a semi-regular basis (weekly, if I can pull it off) while the stand alone fic ideas will be worked on till they're mostly complete before I worry about uploading them.
Good stuff! Love the rewrite. Makes the pacing a lot more even.
Will Rainbow Dash be beating anybody up in this story?
I don't usually re-read stories. This one was a pleasure to do so though. Love the characterization of Skitch. She's one of the few ponies I really can see fitting in in Ponyville. Well, except for the guns. Thaaat's a bit unfitting. The setting is vividly described too, and half of its depth is in what's unspoken, which means you get double the depth! I look at the Collector and think "There but for the grace of God go I" and then I remember how much cool stuff the Collector had and I think "Fuck you God, you suck!"
dessert
AND THUS THE FUN HAS BEEN REDONE! HUZZZAAAAAAAAAA!
Seriously, i like the re-write. Jane's problems as Skitch-Sketch made much more sense and there was feels from him fighting his memories. The fact Skitch was an ACTUAL pony that twilight knew gives more depth Jane's body needed. Good work on the re-write Grey.
The scene with the Elysian Fields was a really nice touch. You know, I think it's high-time I reread Of Kingdoms and Cutie-Marks.
I know I've said it before, but this is a definite improvement over the original version. The fact that you were willing to go back and revise everything says loads about you as an author.
The story still said it was incomplete. Is there another chapter coming up eventually, or is it just a slip-up?
This story was fun. Is there a sequel in the works, because it seems that something happened to Jane while she was traveling?
4328923
Thank you sir! Glad that you enjoyed the story.
4328926
Thanks! I still sometimes think that my writing is a little too fast. Some people can really write long, in depth epics that make me feel like I'm standing there when I read em.
Still, glad that you enjoyed the story!
4329494 There's something to be said for that; however, most of the fics that just keep going and going have a tendency to just putter on. Eventually, I just let them sit unread on my favorites list even though I have nothing else new to read.
4329027
Well, she did drop a Sonic Rainboom on a guys head. Does that count?
4329114
Funny thing about the guns, really. They're really kind of her over-reacting to The Collector and being over-protective. I also got no intention what so ever for her to hang onto them long term. I have...plans.
Thanks for the comments on her characterization though! Glad that she's believable to you. And thanks for being willing to read the story again when it's not something you do regularly.
4329120
Skitch-Sketch being an actual pony began as an explanation for how Jake/Jane could use her new found pony body as easily as she did. But the more I thought about it, the more possibilities there are for her being tied to an existing identity.
Wonderful, wonderful possibilities.
4329297
Thank you Lab. I really appreciate that coming from you.
And I did miss that I had forgotten to mark it as complete. I'll go ahead and fix that.
4329424
There is indeed a sequel!
Of Kingdoms and Cutie-Marks
And some things did happen to her while she was gone.
Uh... I just wanted to say that I kind of read the original, and it was very good; however, you managed to improve this greatly from the original, which is... Very impressive!
I uh, definitely enjoyed reading this in both incarnated forms(original and rewrite), I don't usually comment actually, but felt I just had to... I hope that is alright?
Um, anyways, I apologize for the poorly formulated comment... Making comments like this always makes me nervous for some reason... Sorry...
4329508 Well... I guess so. Will she be continuing to be doing stuff like that?
Great re-write! I came into this series late since the 'Human' tag threw me off for a long time even after I really liked your Lunaverse stories. I was impatient so I ended up moving on to the sequels even though you weren't done finishing this one but it was all so consistent that I wasn't really lost all that much. Still it's great to see this concluded to your satisfaction and it really ties in well with the ones that come after. This universe is fascinating and I'm excited to see where you take it.
The rewrite's done though the party part of this chapter was nearly identical to the original, I think, anyways looking forward to more of the Boast Bypassed story, though I might re-read the direct sequel to this one!
I'm happy to see that the re-write is done, mostly because it was so much then the original, but also because we'll see more Boast Bypassed soon. Quick question though. The one pony in the scene with Celestia talking to Thanatos, was the character that you called Stare Decisis based on Phoenix Wright's character by any chance?
Excellent quote from Fellowship of the Ring. Lovely.
However, it is wrong.
It should be:
That would fix it.
Very good ending, definitely a good read :)
I hope Jane returned Sauron's ring to its world without lingering at the precipice of Mount Doom for too long.
4339067
You know. As crazy as The Collector was, even I'm not sure he'd be crazy enough to take the thing that explicitly corrupts you. Though, then again would he have really acted any different under its thrall?
4336175
Thank you sir! Glad that I was able to entertain you.
4333738
Had to sneak in one geek reference in the speech.
Thanks for catching that mistake in the quote though.
4331035
Not really. That's a game series that I'm kind of aware of, but that I've just never played myself. My general thoughts there are that she's one of Equestria's great old school lawyers. Like the Clarence Darrow of her era.
4330564
Can't blame ya for wanting to see Boast Bypassed continue. Defiantly one of the reasons I've wanted to get this one finished is so that I can get back to my universe in general.
Though, having it finished to submit to Twilight's Library was a big goal too, I will admit.
4330470
Thanks Wolf! It actually means a lot to me that you were able to enjoy the story, despite the human tag. One of the sub themes of this whole series, at least in my mind, has been the idea of "Can one use the concepts of Human in Equestria and Ponification and do a little more with them."
One thing that's defiantly in my mind in regards to that, is as I've been planning out fic ideas head of time, I always try to keep ponies other than Skitch staying awesome. And I have Crowning Moments of Awesome planned out as well.
4330102
Of course she will! She's Rainbow "Danger" Dash! In this series, everypony gets to be awesome!
4330099
Awww. Don't be shy!
I'm glad that I was able to entertain you with both versions!
4339336 Then I'd say you succeeded admirably. This is one of the very very few HiE fics that aren't pandering wish-fulfillment. The fact that every character had a time to shine and impact the story has a lot to with that. Rather than revolving around some 'perfect OC that has no flaws and also dates my fave pony' that sooo many of this genre devolve into.
4339358
See, there's no fun in that.
An actual character with their own flaws, hopes and dreams are much more fun!
Besides, each of the Mane Six got to have their mental breakdowns. If Skitch doesn't get to get in on all of that, then she and I will feel distinctly ripped off.
4339336 Well, could he have been too powerful for it through a combination of different artifacts, technology or magic? In the book, Tom Bombadil was able to put the thing on without even turning invisible. The Collector seemed to jump from reality to reality like walking from one room to the next.
I didn't get to read this in its original form, but the rewrite was fun to go through. Now I can peruse the sequel that I kept putting off.
i.imgur.com/Oy01nAY.jpg
Well, only one thing left to do now after a completed read of that:
Barcelona.
4339336 You're welcome.
4341306
Skitch would totally go the Doctor Who universe, just to fangirl squee, if not for the fact that universe is kind of closed off now that the Timelords are gone.
4339336
You were indeed able to entertain me with both.
Uh, also, I guess "very nervous" are the words I would use to describe myself, maybe? I think shy might be a little too tame of a word to describe myself...
I added this to Favorites a while ago during my last comment; I just forgot to say something before, sorry about that...
4351468
It took over 200 comments before we got one that was flat out negative and nonconstructive.
Where the hell have you been?! Do you have any idea how long you kept us waiting?! This is serious business! You should take this seriously!
Honestly, this rewrite is amazing. And the epilogue was pretty darn awesome. Can't wait to see what else is in store...
Well, that was fun! I guess I'll watch you on the off-chance you write a sequel, or start something else that catches my eye. Thanks for the two or three hour distraction!
4474830
Could be that you read the original version, before I completely revised it?
4508430 feel free to peruse my favorites list, you'll be surprised but what I read, hell I'm surprised by what I had read.
Mmmm, still a wonderful read. Also, I would like to know if you are planning on revising 'Of Kingdoms and Cutie Marks'.
4592945
I doubt that I'm going to do a full blown re-write, as I don't think that it was nearly as rough as the first take on A Skitch on Time. I will probably go through it and do some minor polishing here and there, once I finish Boast Bypassed.
Cause I really want to finish Boast Bypassed.
4593725
Thanks for letting me know! I think I'm going to reread 'Of Kingdoms and Cutie Marks'. It will be good to refresh my memory before I read the other ones.
I'm sad that it's over already
Within this world,
towering over all evil with your love.
Never shall you fall into darkness;
always will you find your bliss.
Excellent work, dear Author!
It was an excellent read.
4713408
You always need to thoroughly establish how you might have become a pony in these kinds of situations.
4717178
Thank you sir! I always appreciate hearing things like that.
4946132
I like to think that some branch of the Apple family actually does make applejack, and that our Applejack was named as such because even as a filly, she had a right powerful kick.
Loved this story! I played in a d&d campaign where I had my character go threw something similar to what Jake/Jane/Skitch went threw. Reading this brought back so many great memories and made me realize how much i miss role playing.
Also the image of pony Skitch appearing before the Jedi Counsel to return stuff.. oh lord chuckling so hard right now at that image. Wonder if her magic would work like the force,
can you just imagine Padawan Skitch light saber held in her magic.
4979746
Awww. I'm sorry to hear that you don't really get to roleplay any more. That's always kind of a downer to hear.
Glad you liked the story though! I picture Skitch popping in, quickly dumping the items and jumping back out before the Jedi Council really worked out what just happened. Just....POOF, random unicorn!
Started reading at noon it's 3am now just finished
good read
this was a truly masterful story though I didn't have the please to read you original story this revision was a wonderful story I will now really enjoy reading your sequels
I am curious. What were those weapons that Jane/Skitch brought back with her? The description of one of them made it sound like a Necron Gauss Flayer.
