Equestria is dead. Using massive weapons of utter destruction, the Caribou have killed all but a handful of ponies, including Princess Twilight. But leaving the Princess of Magic alive was folly. After all, love conquers all. Even death.

yes you do
Ah...so they've finally come together, now to see what happens, will Twilight get the support she needs, or will it all end as quickly as its begun?
And now rocks fall, everybody dies.
last part is a
well now my last question is:
Spike !!! Where Are You ?
In all this a Big Bad Dragon will be perfect
Wow...
The Caribou are in quite the pickle right now!
As far as what is going down in the Crystal Empire...well we'll just have to wait and see...
Let's hope Celestia can diffuse this situation. The Caribou are going down!
Before I read, what exactly happened to Luna and celestia, Impaled as in stabbed? Or they immortal in this fic or...
...So, how exactly did Rainbow Dash know where to find the chancellor, let alone that she'd just beheaded his son?
Just saying, I'm scratching my head a bit about that.
Or was it 'just' the shock value of quite literately killing the ruler with one of his own generals, the family relation just an accident? Still a bit of a stretch she'd find that high a priority target just standing about, but stranger things have happened in war.
Knew it. it was celestia's group that arrived. Wait where's eris? I thought twilight and Trixie with cadence would ask about her. Looks like the climax is getting closer by my estimate about five chapters is left in this story. Finishing up the seige, facing ash'ei, saving spike, reviving the ponies fully, and the aftermath is my guesses for the remaining chapters. Wow from start to finish this has been one hell of a climax good one tea.
5095543 didn't you read twilights thoughts back in chapter one? That explains how they are still alive in this story. Apparently only beheading and a strike to the heart can kill a alicorn here.
5095568
Oh, and do you mean both? Because you said and.
I haven't read it yet, becoming 20 hears of torture basically to Luna and the other alicorns is too much...
Emphasis on THINK. . Seriously though, you are getting better.
5095543 If I remember correctly (It was a while ago that I started reading this fic.), an alicorn can only fie from being stabbed in the heart, though you might not want to listen to me as I probably DO NOT remember correctly.
5095581 you remember correctly.
5095572 it must have took a lot of magic to keep the princesses alive and in response their bobodiesdies reverted to before discord era form. Basicly what they looked like at twilights age before Ascension. Their magic must have drained to that point and will take a long time to recover.
5095600
Were they getting stabbed constantly though?
5095605 no but one spike that they were on would be enough to prevent completely healing and drain a lot of magic to keep them alive and to break free of their prisons. They were to weak to break free so eris had to give them a boost through her blood.they can live through a lot but that long would put them to the limit on their magic.
5095621
They're on a spike?
Eris as in, r33 discord?
And couldn't they just save thier magic and teleport out?
And who lowers the sun?
Sorry for the questions...
5095451
Consider this
Dragon scales in myths and legends tend to be magic resistant or even immune or they adapt to their surroundings, so being hatched by the most powerful unicorn would either make them incredibly resilient to magic or able to absorb it. Either case would make for a good host if the magic were coming from inside of the dragon where they have little resistance
5095633 Questions are fine! But actually, they were trapped by a mixture of molten metails and a containment spell that kept them in their comas. Discord went Eris permanently to add some chaos and power herself. And no one, the sun and moon have shared the sky for twenty years
5095726
They're in comas?
Also, aren't those dear things unable to use magic, and who rose the moon with the sun?
And so basically, theybwere unconscious for 20 years?
Since you said comas, I'd figure Luna and celestia were...
Wait, so someone killed the Grand Marshall by throwing his son's head at him from a distance and impaling him with the antlers? Whoa, brutal, who did that?
achievement unlocked: A family crypt; kill the father with the son.
5095777 it was her >
Your battle scenes have indeed gotten better. The fact that the Grand Marshal of the Caribou Nation was impaled by the very antlers on his son's heads was just downright brutal! Nice work. I think that was well served poetic justice.

totally. Blows mine out of the water.
I think cadance needs to see a ressurected Shining Armor stat
5095637
So Spike will be a badass in this war !
Or he was slaughtered by the Caribou
in both cases (for me ) one can't write a fiction centered on Twilight Sparkle without Her Number One Assistant
5096211 Or, like previous hinting and foreshadowing alluded to; Spike will be on the Caribou's side.
5096211 5096415 Where Spike is concerned, I think that he's possessed by...whatever that thing that was speaking to the Caribou High Priest in an earlier chapter.
So I don't think that he currently has much choice in the matter.
5096415
5096630
So Spike was abducted/captured to be used as new avatar of this spirit.
I wasn't following this line, because the war started before Spike abducted/captured, so the spirit already had avatar, and he changed it only because he have a little dragon ?
Unless we use what Creed Miles says and so all make sense.
Better wait and see, else we make a fiction all our
5096814 I don't know what happened to Spike before the war, or how he might've come to be in those bastards' clutches, but the dragon that the Caribou High Priest was talking to at the end of that one chapter was purple and green in color.
Coincidence? I think not.
Finally someone who could see through Purity's pathetic ruse Not to mention that she made it all too obvious by being so zealous about it.
two things: Rainbow bombs?! hell yeah
and
is this the sound you're aiming for?
5097877 Yes, exactly!
5098449 And WW2 disproves yours.
5098494 Mmm, not quite. Germany would have trounced the other nations of Europe had Hitler not been a big ol' bag of crazy crazy crazy.
That, and they just didn't have the natural resources of the United States or Russia. There were many reasons why Germany and Italy lost, not just fascism.
That was hilarious.
The end part I mean, heh.
5095728 No one rose the sun nor moon, they hung in eclipse while the world hung tidally locked to them.
And yes, the Caribou can use magic, but it's a different kind of magic than that of the ponies and the deer(mentioned several chapters back as having primarily nature based and related magic). The Caribou's magic seems to be crude and best used as part of a war machine.
5099154
Oh.
And I was asking about the sun and the moon, how did they both get raised at the same time?
Holy shit that was awesome! I'm so very happy that purity got "shot down", by Celestia herself out of all ponies - now i just want to know how Celestia reacts to Twi's explanation.
5095560 I'm guessing it was just chance. If ypu read back though he got the head as he shot out a good flying at mock 10 past the leader who tried to kill him aka dudes son
5100808
Eh, fair enough.
As I said, stranger things have happened in war.
5098538
(You've just brought up my favorite subject.. )
Hitler is the reason why Germany lost WW2. His command chain was built so that no two parts of their armed forces could communicate with each other (Unlike the Allies, who used a more linear system).
It was also his plan to stop their nuclear research. (Yes, that's right, they were developing a nuke, and they were closer than the U.S. at that point). This was because Hitler wanted more focus to be on the V2 missles.
If Hitler had kept the treaty with Russia just slightly longer and chose to leave or fortify before winter came, they might have stomped Russia. Russia's stratagy for invasions for the last 500 or so years was to let them invade until winter, and then drive them back with a massive army. Hitler pushed too quickly into Russia and his troops didn't have any winter clothes when the Russian winter came.
Thank you.
I don't quite agree with your death for the Grand Marshall (odds for this happenstance are infinitesimal), but it is an otherwise lovely chapter.
I imagine Twilight's explanation happens offscreen. No need for it to be visible.
Just to add on to the whole debate about the goverment Twilight is setting up I would like to add a few things
1. Twilight is longlived which is a major variable we cannot account for, because we all die within 120 years of life
2. Many ancient civilizations were semi democratic during peace, but during a crisis they would elect one man to have complete control because decisions must be made quickly and decisively.
3. Twilight seems to have everything set up like an absolute monarchy, which have been proven to work until you get a corrupt or lazy ruler
Alright there are my two cents
5098538
Hitler DID have some Good Ideas; if he didn't exist, we would not have Autobahns/Freeways/Motorways, and the Second Largest Automobile Manufacturer IN THE WORLD and THE Largest Automobile Manufacturer in Germany (that would be Volkswagen AG, which LITERALLY translates to "People's Car" in German) Simply would not Exist.
5095726 if you don't mind me asking... did you get the ideas for the Equestrian Army's equipment/uniforms/weapons/whatever from Germany's equipment from WWII?
5113404 I am, yes! As much as we all hate Germany's policies at the time, they did have a spectacular military.
Y'know, I've eaten caribou before. It's delicious.
Guess who's on the menu today?
Pretty ominous build up. Looking forward to see what Twilight has to say to Celestia and if Trixie will play a larger party. Hopefully there is a better way out than warring among themselves. The most straightforward route is to let those revived return to being dead after a specific amount of time, barring a better solution. Certainly, they'd at least be buried intact and with dignity which is much better than the horrors they suffered before.
I'm a little worried about who/what Ashei is. I'm guessing a Tirek equivalent/analog/colleague. Also I have to wonder what sort of return to before it/he/she could offer the caribou besides seeing them enslaved in undeath. Here's hoping Celestia and Luna aren't caught off guard. Also, I imagine the return of the Princess(es) might cause division within the ranks and threaten the stability of Twilight's fledgling empire.
I do believe Celestia will be less than pleased with Twilight's actions. For all the horrible things done, it seems Celestia and Luna witnessed little of it compared to Twilight's own experience.
I do feel like the characters tainted-ness is under emphasized. By that I mean that the Reborn seem much more open to violence than before their deaths and less emotionally traumatized than one might expect from someone resurrected who had to experience all the horrible things that were done to them and happened to others, particularly those they knew,
5116997 You have a number of good points there, but I do believe that Taelea said that, somewhere in all this, that once the war is over, and the Caribou (and, I'm assuming Ash'ei) are defeated once and for all (and Spike reed), that Twilight's ultimate plan is restoring all of the ponies who were killed to full, normal life, like they all were before the war and occupation of Equestria.
So I don't think that Twilight (i.e., Taelea) are going to allow any of the unliving to die and be buried at the end of this whole mess.
And, as I've stated elsewhere, it's Taelea's story, and only she knows where everything's going, and just how everything is going to wind up, for sure.
We just have to be patient, and sit back and enjoy the ride til everything unwinds to its planned out end.
And said end, I'm thinking, is gonna be one heck of a thrill ride, and one heck of doozy. (Of the Pinkie Pie Doozy variety!)
