Dust is dead. Or more specifically, dead for a second time. Or third, if you looked at it the right way. The important point was that he was dead, but now he's not...again. Although now he's surrounded by technicolour ponies. And there's an entire war currently headed for him. What will he choose to do now that he has no ties to the land he is currently in? Will the voice of Jin prevail or will Cassius finally have his way with the world around him?
A crossover with Dust: An Elysian Tail (which I honestly just finished less than 30 minutes ago as of writing this (there are still tears in my eyes and there will be until the sequel comes out)). I know I'm going to screw this up a lot and I want to know what you guys think about it as I write. Warning: contains spoilers for both the ending to Dust and events throughout the game. Do not read if you plan on playing the game and actually completing it.
very nice

Thank you, and now that I actually have Dust and everyone in the universe the actual story can begin (and there shall be no more 1,000 word chapters (they make me feel as though I am too lazy for my own good))
I plan on giving this a read later night, I'll give you feedback on it.
4422349
I eagerly await said feedback and hope that I don't disappoint you (although given that the first chapter is only about 1,500 words not much actually happens until the end)
4422239 do not worry it's a good story
have a good start
if you desire are made that this story will have many likes

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words and I hope you like the rest of the story.
Hah. I see what you did there.
4424318
I'm glad some people got the joke. Or at least read the description.
So far so good I want to see where this goes
4424566
Thanks, hope I don't disappoint. This, Journal of a Changeling, and Saving Spartan 117 are the three stories that I'm actually looking forward to writing so it won't be as lazy as some stories.
Interesting start. looks good.
+yay
for Fidget
I bet Fluttershy is gonna squee for her
Ya know I just started playing Dust a few days ago, and It's pretty awesome
I really want to read this, but I don't want to spoil the ending and all that jazz.
So I'll finish the game and come back later
P.S I love Fidget
4424722
I intend to include all the squee's I can get
4425643
I can honestly say that Dust is right up there on my list of favourite games (right alongside Mass Effect and The Walking Dead (the one by Telltale Games, not Survival Instinct (although that is pretty okay)))
4426316
Fidget was the best character for me. I also liked Reed (the crazy box guy)
still have 3 achivs to go till 100% (4star on all challenge, complete on tough/hardcore, 1k combo [closest so far is 998])
4426645
I still have to go back and choose not to put poison ivy in Giovanni's clothes and I have to get the 1,000 combo (and then there's one more that's a secret)
I now have the craving to say ash to ash dust to dust
Was Ara the sword? I only know a bit basic because of a let´s play. PS: Fidget is my favourite gir? yeah she´s better a girl^^ Dust is awesome too.
How could i explain it to myself that Discord knew about the people of the Universe in wich the Darkness was?
PS: I like the story, it start good already
4429800
Yes Ahrah is the sword, fidget is a girl (we actually had an argument about this on Steam and it was proven using in game sources), and the darkness didn't come from Dust's world (for the most part at least. Everything will be explained in due time). Discord also knew of them because of reasons that will be explained next chapter (?) I dunno, it will be explained soon. Although I can give you a hint.
And there's your hint for today. Maybe you can figure it out before I put up the next chapter, maybe you won't, either way don't be afraid to share theories.
4429929 I try to translate the last part of the hint, this is the part i am not sure i use the right meaning in my language. Well thank you i think i will get it at least if the new chapter is out.
at first it was just the art style i liked from the game but then i watched a let´s play at least and i like the Chars, because of that i look foward to the next chapter.
I wonder if you would make him a bit reserved at the begining or if you make his character a bit like in the game. I start maybe to talk nonsense so.....good Chapter anyway
I will be watching this story with interest
4525012
I will try not to disappoint you, but there won't be an update completed for like a week because I've got exams going on and I'm working on a thing for a contest.
I can definitely see some improvement already; some parts feel quick paced in the conversations. I do really like part where the souls trying to answer a question killed him, and would like to see who this effects him telling his story like say he uses I to describe the actions of Cassius, Jin, and himself. Most Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this.
You had Luna's interest, but now you have her attention

(oh, and I got all the achievements and 117% completion 
)
Thank you for your input. The first chapter was greatly rushed because I was trying to write before I ran out of steam, so that explains a lot.
4654890
Pfft, I didn't even make that connection until just now
This being a Dust/MLP crossover, I should know by now that the main villain is revealed towards the end of the story. Wait... Dust has three minds now!? If Jin's the "angel", Cassius the "devil", who the hay's the third soul?
4673577
I suppose the entity known as Dust would be the third entity but I'm not entirely sure what he would be, perhaps he would be the mortal? Seems somewhat ironic though.
OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH OMIGOSH DUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSST
new chapter?
King Gaius? Wasn't Gaius the general?
Always nice to find fanfics of Dust: An Elysian Tail it is definitely one of my all-time favorite games I have playeD
