So he's gonna leave the Stable without Lily?

3329604 No, he's finding the path to the surface and is going to try to convince the other ponies to leave once he does. Shadow's not wanting to lead them into a highly dangerous place. But, you know... this is the wasteland... And with Shadow's traits...

Another great chapter, but in the last paragraph or so you put 97 instead of 79.

3331095 Thank you! One of those derps that's hard to catch.

Well Harp, perhaps you should have skipped dinner...

... or, y'know, just stayed on the surface and burned with the rest of the ponies and zebras in Equestria.

Well, this has been another interesting chapter, I have to hand it to you.

Im just gonna lurk....over here...

I do want everyone to know, I AM still working on this! I've been swamped at work, doing two peoples jobs, which is literally eating away at my own personal time. BUT! I have managed to write another page today, bringing my doc up to 13... so it's sitting at somewhere halfway done.

I want to apologize to my readers for the long delay, and I hope I can actually get something done soon....ish...

Dear author, is the next chapter going to be ready soon? Because I really like this story and wish it to be continued. You are clearly talented writer and I hope you put your skills to good use, like a new chapter to this great story you have given birth. So, a new chapter soon. And if you don't have time, I'll just wait right here. On this spot. Next to my computer. Staring this screen without blinking. For days, then weeks, then months, then years. But if it takes more than a decade, I will dislike this story and be mildly annoyed. And one more time, new chapter please. But anyways, thanks for the already existing chapters. They were fun and exiting to read.

3940508 Yes.... Sorry! As I said in my previous post, my job had gotten the better of me.

I work as a tech in the largest high school in one of the largest cities in my state. There's supposed to be two of us on campus. (There's supposed to be more of us on campus, but the district disagrees. ) Unfortunately, my help had a stroke, and I had to take on his load of the responsibility. And for those wondering, he is recovering nicely.... but will not be returning to work. He was near retirement age anyway, so it's not a devastating loss for him.

But, with all the testing and everything going on, I had been completely burnt out on all the overtime work I had to put in to make sure everything was ready.... not even the weekends gave me enough energy to write.

Here comes the good news! On May the 4th, a new lan-tech will start working at my school full time, giving me the much needed rest I will need to pick this up again!

It is great to know that you are going to continue this story (in near future at least) and that my lurking here has not been fruitless. Just try to recover your strength and smash that keyboard of yours until a new chapter has been born, ok?

Please tell me that Doctor Soul is based off Dr. Facilier. It would make WAAAAAAAAAY too much sense.

OMG! It's been far too long. I am uploading a new chapter shortly.

4457163 Why, yes... he is actually!
4306057 Soon! I just have to look over what I've written!

Edit: And it's up! Unfortunately, I still do not have a pre-reader. I would like one, if anyone is interested.

I appologize for this.... massive delay. My help had actually passed on instead of retiring, and then I just kind of lost track over the summer. But.... I feel like working on this again, finally. So cheers, to all of you who like this story, to friends lost, and to friends gained.
Have a good day, everypony!
