Keeper of Jericho


Just a Scarecrow.

E

Celestia, Luna and Discord were but three of the thirteen. Once there were others like them, other Scions who were charged with overseeing the world in the name of Harmony. This is their sad and sorrowful tale. One that has been passed down by ponies through generations, until it was considered naught but an old mare's tale... This is Equestria's own mythology.

I've liked this. I like the way you tell the story, it really looks like if it had been taken directly from a real mythology book. Aragniel kinda reminds me of Ungoliant, specially the way she died.

I hope you write more chapters.:twilightsmile:

Great story! I'm keen to see what the other 12 Scions are and how they are connected. :pinkiehappy:
Keep it up!:heart:

This is a truly creative and exciting project. It even reads and sounds like a real mythological story! I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

Oh, it's nice to see you picked that up! Aragniel's fate was indeed inspired by Ungolianth. In fact, it was the Silmarillion that gave me the idea for this story in the first place.

Another great one! But I have to ask, is there any sort of chronology to these tales? Are all of the Scion's stories going to be occurring at roughly the same time, or are all the events falling one after the other?

This chapter has been amazing! Maybe it's because I'm too sensitive, but I almost cried when Sírdhem died. I applaud your writing, please, don't give up.:twilightsmile:

P.S.: WoW reference, didn't see that one coming. :rainbowlaugh: Good job.

i do believe you are getting better at this. you first was fascinating but this one i really enjoyed. discord is a jerk though :flutterrage:
but you deserve this :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: 5/5

298179 Yes, the Silmarillion was indeed what gave me the idea for this story. I thought it would be most interesting to develop a mythology for the candy coloured ponies we like so much. There's so much one can do with the subject, too. Have hundred people write an Equestrian mythology and you'll end up with a hundred different stories, I'm certain. A community project focussed on Equestria's past might actually be a fun project/contest, who knows.

I love this Scions series that your working on, it sounds just like an old legend. :rainbowkiss: Even better is the completely unique appearance of most of them. 5/5 Mustaches for this one :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: :moustache:

Not a story? What sort of half brain dead moron would not think this was a story!? Man, you should demand a pre-reader that reads anything besides grimdark torture shipping.

Just read this first part, and I'm calling it now: Nostrdamare is Celestia.

Beautiful. It's got all the tragedy and mournfulness of a good gotterdammerung, but the moral and causes fit well in the mlp-verse.
