Crazy, Clever and Cunning

Author's notes

This section will be here for anything that people ask to have clarified in the story in case they have questions they want answered. While I can't promise that everything will get answered since I might be saving it for later I will at least say that if it is so or not. As of now there hasn't really been anything asked so at this moment it will be relatively empty so here's just a little bit of my thought process on this at the moment.

A big motivator I had for writing this story is that the world outside of Equestria is rather open which means there are a lot of potential creatures that could be there that haven't been touched on yet. We get little peeks at a few things like the phoenix and dragons but nothing really in depth. The thing I've noticed though is that not many people actually do things with creatures that can potentially as powerful as the alicorns and just use them as a fallback for godlike beings. (The setting of some of the Nyx universe being one of the few exceptions to this.) Thinking through the mythologies that I know of there aren't many things that could potentially rival them without being some sort of a monster so I eventually settled on the kitsune where a 9-tailed one would essentially be of similar godly levels of power.

I was originally thinking of them as some sort of side race at first but I decided to start tying them in with the diamond dogs as it makes a bit of sense as the diamond dogs would be to earth ponies as kitsune would be to unicorns. Add in the loyalty of canine companions and it made a pretty decent idea that I decided to run with.

Until something else comes up I'll leave this chapter ready but until then enjoy what you can, comment where you must, and be sure to check out the sequel if you haven't already done so and actually got this far which is located HERE .

This is the first time I've ever seen a fic do a hundred-plus-year time skip and kill off most of the central characters before continuing to part two. Not gonna read it right now, honestly not sure if I'll get back to it or not, but at least part one was pretty interesting.

6827703 I'll keep that in mind when I get around to fixing this story. It's somewhere on my to-do list once I find where I put it. Other thing I need to fix is paragraph structure as well which I improved on after this since it was my first attempt at writing.
