I've never seen a place that's quite like this. Everything is turned around; this crazy world is upside down.

It's just not everyone's cup of tea, I suppose. Regardless, thanks for reading!

Well, I certainly like it. You do an excellent job of creating a descriptive scene with a narrative soliloquy and minimal exposition.

So thanks for that.

Hi there. I hope you don't mind, but I liked this fic so much I have put together an audio version on YouTube.

I don't mind at all! In fact, I'm insanely flattered. The voice work and production quality are exceptional, and it brings the story to life in a way I never could. Thank you so much for this!

:derpyderp1: i Have no idea what to say to this
this is so amazng :twilightsheepish:

You inspired this. Good job.

I was wondering where all the sudden attention for this story was coming from. Thanks for this! I can hardly believe I managed to inspire something so incredible.

Hap

4405867 That's how I found it! I'm happy I did.

Well well well, what do we have here?

This reads like a mountain given cause to rage.

Very nice, and I can see why it inspired a fantastic song.

Wow... :pinkiegasp:

That was damn good. really felt the power, the implacable DOOM!

The shear utter belief, the surety of his own power. RD.. what the fuck did you do!?

Then again, after beating down Tirak, yeah the dragon is likely in for a surprise, but hat would be one hell of a fight to see.

Yeah, just, amazing job.

Now, THAT was something! I knew I had to check the fic that inspired such an amazing song, and wow! Was I impressed. Flightless Fury actions felt like they had weight behind them, an ancient purpose, his entire being filled with a rage soon to be unleashed, all that thanks to your fantastic job describing them.

Damn. Heard the song, heard the audio voice over and read the story. All three are bloody amazing. This is indeed how a dragon is powerful. Brilliant work mate.

I'm not so sure I like this dragon. I don't agree with the way he feels about flying. I think we all should do what we enjoy. And the way he thought the Pegasus' was wrong to fly for fun was conceited.
Great story.:pinkiehappy:

As a dragon, I can hardly express how much this inspired me. :moustache:

This is impressive. This is epic.

But, like Smaug before him, he is an arrogant monster and he is large and will fall hard. And he is wrong. Particularly in a world where friendship and harmony are actual building blocks of the world, where empathy and identification does actually matter so much. In such a world, the one who loves the air and treats it as a friend seems more likely to succeed than the one who thinks the air is something to dominate.

5684744 um i don't think this is your ordinary dragon of equestria and since it is not driven by evil and chaos the elements won't work on it and the princesses are nothing compared to it soooooo well RD you just royally screwed equestria
i believe that this dragon is ancient and powerful beyond comprehension so yeah WAY TO GO RD

4406622 don't forget that tirek is probably far weaker that flightless fury so the "RD what the fuck did you do" still stands

this needs a sequel PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE

5891599 You and me have two very different definitions of evil. The will to cause harm for reasons unrelated to survival when you are intelligent enough to refrain from doing so, along with psychotic pride and the idea that everything is beneath you, is pretty much my definition of evil.

Discord wasn't exactly corrupted by outside forces and he still got stopped. And frankly, I get more of the impression that this, while a powerful dragon, is also an immensely narcissistic one. So I am not exactly getting the impression that this is actually some all powerful dragon god. Just a powerful dragon that is in for a surprise.

But let's not have an argument in the comments, those are always embarrassing. Cheers.

5893022 i respect your opinion thank you for explaining your side as i explained mine
cheers

That was really cool. I definitely felt the dragon's character oozing off the page, which is impressive for such a short story.

I found this story while listening to FIM fan fiction on youtube. The VO was Unbelievable! Truly draconian. How does it feel to develop a cult following?

The surprise is for the ponies who is to say that the elements won't punish them for their greed and arrogance?

I first heard this through Scribbler's (and Finish Line's) absolutely amazing reading of this, but it very quickly got my attention and is one of the few Fimfiction stories I share around with my non-pony-fan friends. I do so love stories like this, though, that are set ostensibly in a universe but both a) require no prior knowledge of the universe to work because of how things are presented, and b) are well-written and provocative enough to get the attention of people who don't know what it's about. It helps when they're short one-shots rather than novel-length epics, of course. Still, this is just SO evocative and the language is so good that I have kept it in my head (and go and re-listen to it every now and then) for years.
