Looks like you didn't have to wait for long
And thanks for the compliment!
You know, sometimes as I'm writing this story I'll pause for a moment and think, "by the time Just Before the Dawn wraps up, I'll have been working on it for more than four and a half years." I probably could have been doing something 'constructive' during that time, but constructive use of time is for nerds, so screw it, I might as well write about magical Roman horses. That's a pretty normal way of thinking, right? All of these people with their 'families' and 'careers'. Pah! One day, when I'm old and (more) grouchy, at least I'll be able to look back on this time and say "I had several thousand people read my grimdark story about a little girls' cartoon".
Life goals.
On a related note, I feel like I understand George RR Martin just a little bit now. Trying to keep track of a bunch of characters and having them all face satisfying plot conclusions is kind of a pain in the ass. Of course he's got far more talent, money and fame than I could ever dream of having, but still. Considering my two biggest inspirations for this story were Rome and Game of Thrones, I would hope I've managed to capture at least the tiniest sliver of the feeling you get from those shows.
Spoilers: Starswirl the Bearded is actually George RR Martin.
It strikes me that the entirety of JBtD will have been created from start to finish before the Winds of Winter is released. Just sayin'.
Anyway, enjoy the update. I'm gonna go back to watching Dragon Ball Super. It's been like 18 years since DBZ finished, that show was my shit when I was in middle school. Never thought I'd see a whole new series with the same voice actors. Talk about a nostalgia trip.
See ya soon!
I wonder how long it will be before Celestia stops holding back.
oh cool another chapter

Haha, well that was quick! Enjoy DB Super! I loved stepping back into that universe

Super was a lot of fun. However, the first two arks are erh just watch the movies and go strait to the universe 6 ark.
Welp. This won't end well.
8900781
Ha! No way. I watched every single episode of Z and I intend to do the same here. You underestimate my nostalgia boner.

If you had just stabbed me in the chest it would have hurt less than this. Regardless of sad truths, I look forward to seeing this finally conclude!

I'm going to reference my favorite stories on fimfic in regards to this: Days of Wasp and Spider and its sequel Final Solution (no relation to the Holocaust). A similarly dire situation came up recently in that series, and one character who'd had a lot of interaction with Celestia - both directly against her, and with her - made this point to other who were still against her, and who held many of the remaining cards.
"You think it's bad now? So far she's been fighting simply to stop you from killing more of her people. But if you want to push that button and destroy her reasons for restraint, go ahead. Let's see if any of us survive."
That said... This Celestia doesn't seem like that much if a powerhouse. The magic of friendship - what should be her real strength - seems to matter so little in this world.

Quite indeed, it almost doesn't make sense that she could have defeated discord with as little power as she's shown in this story.
Ps. Wasp and spider is an amazing story.

Your a mad man

I haven't read a lot of the earlier chapters in this in a long time, but is Celestia really depicted as weak in this or is she just holding back? I've always thought of Celestia fighting like using a shotgun as a fly swat, in that she either holds back 99% of her capability or releases all of it at once in dire situations. Other stories (which I can't recall the names of) have demonstrated this with massive areas of arid, destroyed land that are results of Celestia actually using her full power in a fight.
There was one story (it had 'glass' in the title, I think) that drove home the point that "everything burns, even ponies." So I like to think that she's far from weak, but she can't really fight properly without causing massive damage to literally everything around her, including her allies.

problem is I havn't seen any sign that she has the same potential for out right destruction as the other renditions of her.
8902701
Well this is set pretty much directly after she banished Luna to the moon, so she could just still be drained from that?
I don't know. I just get the feeling that equestria's ace in the hole that'll win them the war is Celestia kicking the shit out of Elinwynn.
8904183
I figure it will be the human somehow managing to bypass the triggers that Ellenwyn set up to keep him under control. and then him ripping the cervine to shreds with his enraged bare hands. similar to how he was commanded to take out the equestrians.
8904236
Or both.
Hopefully both. Like the thing that completes the ship is the two of them utterly and absolutely destroying the redtail siblings.
Yeah, that'd be a good way to end it.
Oh wow, things just keep getting worse.
I am still waiting for Celestia to do something, guess it's coming finally?
