So, Sombra's shadow? And it knows Bucky's weaknesses? In his fighting abilities, sure, but not his mental ones. They are safe on The Scorned Mare.

Actually, I think it might have been a former member of House Avarice. Remember what Sombra said: His Shadow only had one chance to take Bucky and it failed. It can't go after him anymore. And it seems like something one of them would do considering their track record. They've been basically playing god over the Shetland Islands for centuries. One wanting to be an actual god isn't too far fetched.
4952747
Lots of clues there.
Somebody who is proud it was House Bitters that proved worthy... and is of Bucky's blood.
There are a LOT of clues in the first half of the chapter.
>Inb4 it's related to the uncle that went bibbledy
I really am getting a Malthael kind of vibe from this arc's "boss". Harvesting souls/life force to accumulate strength and create minions? This boss is also in a (currently) incorporeal form. The only thing missing is the deluded motive of ending any and all conflict. We otherwise have Bucky as our Nephalem.
4952753 Yeah, we know...you just love to torture us with so many clues that it´s just impossible too make out what is more relevant and what´s not...
OKAY, everyone, let´s try to figure this outas a revenge. We know it´s NOT Sombra´s shadow. We know it´s deeply related to House Avarice, probably by even blood. We know that it´s imprisioned, but the wards are either starting to fading (did House Avarice need to constantly reforce then, that´s why unicorn came to the Isles occasionally, as Lord Wrecker stated ?) or he is becoming stronger. We know that he feed from fear and from life essence. It´s not a pony anymore, it gave up his equinity as a mean to gain power and, somehow, he knows ´bout Bucky´s destiny. I bet that it even had contact with the fates...maybe he was the one that slained their mortal bodies (what for ?) wich explains why The Fates wanted to help Bucky.
What ele we know and where this leads us ? Personally, i´m completly blind here....
4952782 He is not incorporeal, he just can´t left wherever dammed hole he is buried in, but have the means to project his mind through its minions and artifacts.
By the way, your comment make me realize something. If he is imprisioned since a long time, but only in, let´s say, the last months this island was devoured, how he managed to build the crystal spire ? Does he minions have such control that can even build artifacts for him w Or am i´m wrong and he, somehow, is not that much imprisioned ? If he is not, why not a more direct approuch against Bucky´s family ?
4952822
Crystals, like trees, take time to grow.
Have a hint.
4952753
Alt Bucky? Would explain why the shield was so weak, and why he sounded so much like Bucky.
wow... that bothers me...
4952834
No. Not alt-Bucky.
4952845
As mentioned in the last chapter posted, she has hit her decade mark.
Bucky's sunstone eye is a green emerald chip embedded in a black fulgurite base that fills his eye socket.
4952854
So his eye looks like it's green pupil less iris with black sclera?
4952884
Yes.
4952822
How much more direct can you get he flat out attacked the town, if your taking Physically. .. He's was a Unicorn, unicorns don't fight physically (except for Buky). This is as direct a unicorn would fight. But I bet he's crystalized. Fearing death he traded his soul in crystal, like Sombra did to "protect" his people.
4952753
I think I got it. It is that one pony they found dead at The Hydra's Teeth. He wasn't kill by a Banshee, he cast off his body.
4952906
No. Cast off his body and jumped into what? The air?
4952895 Good point...and good call on the crystal thing. So he have acess to Sombra´s knowledge somehow, wich leads to another question: why Sombra did not warned, or gave any further information, ´bout this thing to Bucky ? He was not aware of it ? He couldn´t ? Why ?
4952920
Oh there is a lot that Sombra knows and cannot tell Bucky. If Bucky had all the answers, it would be a bit too easy, wouldn't it?
Fate is a funny fickle thing.
4952922 Fate is a bitch it seems. Ask Bucky when he finally knows ´bout everything, he certainly will have one or two words in that direction too...
Bucky: Must go to my happy place, must go to my happy place...
Thistle: Y-yes deaaAAAaar...hapyy pla-a-a-ceeeeee just a lllllitlE to the lef-ttttt....

My theory is the Crystal, many of Sombra descendents met him in the leylines on their quest. Remember the pile of stones at the crossing. My guess is in order to fight the darkness the unfortunate soul tried to harness the spell focusing power of crystals and implanted his magical essence to fix his horns limitation. All alone and isolated the darkness took over and needing more power corrupted the wildlife to serve his purpose of fueling his magic. His goal was like Bucky's, his methods also like Bucky's, but alone in the dark given to neurosis he went to a place that still lay in Bucky's future.
4952940 Sorry, i don´t get it...what do you mean that the thing is the Crystal ? Do you mean that, somehow, some of the crystals used for Sombra gained self-conscience, or part of Sombra is still alive inside it ?
4952952
Sombra in his madness tried to protect his people by freezing their souls in Crystals. They are essentially alive but lack a body. Like Bucky's new horn Crystals can conduct magic, the only thing stopping a soul from using magic in a crystal is lack of fuel. Or so my theory is.... So wolves are the mouth, the dens are the stomach, the Crystals are its horn and body. We shall see if my theory holds true soon enough.
Oh my DOG.... o.o
4952753
Yes, let's grab the crystal full of magical darkness and disease and bring it near our whole family. Surely nothing will go wrong!
(I'm sure they've taken every precaution to protect themselves, but still.)
Also, the self-declared god is fairly cunning, but it has drastically underestimated Bucky. He can learn, and failing that, he can have others help. Yes, he may not be willing to do so, but hopefully they will insist. Or he could just find a counter for the jaundiced death crystal. He has a lot of options here.
Looking forward to more.
4952969 If i got it right, you meant that Sombra (not the true one, that visits Bucky in dreams, but his...hate, let call it that way) was not killed during the fight when the Crystal Empire returned and, now, he "lives" inside a Crystal, somewhere in the mountains, while using the monsters and the artifacts as a way to feed from the islands. And now he sees a way to get a whole body, Bucky´s body ?
Wow.
...
That´s good, that´s very good and it makes sense even in the context of the show. Shadow was not trully defeated since she was not at the Empire at all, just another shadow of him ! Makes him the Jason Vorhees of the Chaseverse villains...you kill him over and over and he keep coming back...Bucky will need a anime-level harem to recover from all this !!!
Just food for thought, do you honestly believe that Bucky was the first that Sombra's shade touch. No I think that the shade has been going through the entire family line and trying to take any unicorn that has even a hint of power. And considering how bucked in the head Bucky's family is, who's to say that one of them didn't welcome him with open hooves.
4952969
This. This right here.
4952991
Yes Sombra's shadow is influencing things, but it's not powerful enough. To that end it used Bucky's Uncle, or whoever it was that last failed here. Convinced him to do it, with his self "safe" in the Crystal he could protect the isles.
4952996 Oooook, so we´re starting to figure things out (as in "we" means "Kamunari") and, then, there is only one thing left...making the author stop to answer the comments and going back to work !!!
No really, stop commenting the comments, we need more chapters !!!
4952992
I'm starting to wonder, the descendants of Queen Platinum have ruled things from behind the scenes for many years. Claiming to gain insight from communing with her spirit. She confirmed that she does speak to them through her likeness. I might be paranoid but maybe she stuck around for more than just her husband.

=P Naw I'm only catching the hints, I feel I'm only a step ahead of the story (like literally he's set it up to be shown next chapter). Kudzuhaiku had to practically spell it out, it wasn't until I saw the Foal that I had most of the pieces about the bad guy. I'm still at a loss about what's behind everything and why. Why are their dark forces corrupting Powerful unicorns, who behind it, will that come into play this Arc. I feel like it'll be so obvious I should know it, but Kudzuhaiku loves hiding things in plain sight. Open and honest yet still surprises around every corner.

She has been trying to fix her mistakes. She drove the unicorn mad and made him send out the ledger.
Just some small grammatical mistakes that I can see. Here's one: "She would have it down in an instant." Instead write: "She would have had it down in an instant." Speaking of Lyra in the first half of the chapter when Bucky is trying to break the shield. Another one is: "He conjured more whiskey the keg, knowing that it was a stopgap now." Again just missing a word there it needs to read like this: "He conjured more whiskey from the keg, knowing that it was just a stopgap now." Missing a quotation mark here: “I no longer detect anything below us,” Lyra reported. "The isle is kinda small. Whatever it was, it is gone now. Bucky put an end to it.” That's all the grammatical mistakes I can see. Great story I am very terrified by this villain. I think I know who it is but I am keeping my spoilers to myself!
