Ponies. They're alright, but still, they have their problems. Like how they run around like headless chickens at the slightest provocation. And how they jump to conclusions.
Scales has to go through this. He's a Human in Equestria(original, right?), but he's not a pony. Not a zebra, a griffin or even a diamond dog. No. He's a dragon. And nobody lets him forget it.

Well, this is interesting. Though perhaps a a few too many powers for the guy, though I will have to wait a few more chapters to really decide about that. Just don't go off making the guy all super-powerful, sure, against some ponies they would be no problem (not sure how you would rank the guards in with them), but against the animals of the Everfree and other similar places there should definitely be some difficulty fighting. And don't forget that he's a dragon, it's either gems or meat, and since he so far doesn't know gems can be used as sustenance (and why would you automatically assume they would?) I would go with hunting down a meal.

Either way, the story is off to an interesting start and I can say that I look forward to next chapter to see how it unfolds.

An interesting idea I was myself toying with a few months back when I first started reading The Ballad of Echo, I will read on to see your take on it

my name is John Conner and i'm here to give you a thumps UP!

This is a good story and it has great potential!
Although I would like to know a little bit more about the main caharcter before going on.
Y'know a little back story wouldn't hurt.
Besides that, great story please continue!:pinkiehappy:

Aww... But I like OP protagonists :rainbowkiss:

Well, somebody as OP as he was in my mind would get pretty boring. He was literally indestructable, and had more than half a dozen powers that would slaughter anything. In my mind, a story about a literally invincible dude with no weaknesses would be boring.

I'm loving and tracking this fic....:rainbowlaugh:

I find it kind of odd that she would not be at least a little bit disturbed by him SKINNING a few canines, I would imagine that wouldn't be all that common where ponies live (or him eating the corpses in front of her afterwards). It would've been nice reading about the difficulties he would be finding in trying to skin them since for each species theres usually a certain way you have to skin them so you don't ruin the hide and then theres a method you have to go through to make them useable for long periods of time. And with going into a desert him being a dragon I would imagine him being at least a bit more like a reptile and how they behave in warm/hot weather, more active and energetic, but since he's a dragon I would imagine that with him being able to breathe fire would give him a bit more of an edge against a regular cold-blooded creature.

Sorry I'm nitpicking at the thing but it just kind of bothered me seeing all these and comparing them to real life.:twilightblush:

WOW... I'm first. Keep up the great story. I love it.

FIRST!!! Sorry, just had to see what that feels like. I should be getting the next chapter done a bit quicker, though, so again, stay tuned.

Scales should head to ponyville! That would be hilarious to see the mane six's reaction!

Damnit. I finished the chapter. Now I want more! :raritycry:

Ah... the shower. The abode of thinkers and ponderers of philosophy everywhere. Thats where the magic happens. You can just stand there wonder all of lifes mysteries.

Unless Scales is being set up as a surprise antagonist, you should really give him a Mary-Sue litmus test before writing too much more. So far, I've noticed: author avatar; able to quickly change others' personalities, mostly to friendly; overpowered abilities, like rapid healing, poison immunity, super strength, speed, reflexes, and smarts, always having the upper hand in conversations, his scales, and chameleon abilities; easily defeating rather powerful enemies; and extensive knowledge of almost everything. (sorry about that, I find editing almost second-nature:twilightblush:)

I'm not saying that this story is a bad idea, but you might want to make sure that you're not losing readership or writing quality due to an unfortunate writing construct.

Bah... This story is just for fun and it's a nice bit of light reading. Mary-Sue it to death if ya like. So far it's a great and fun romp. You definitely wont lose me as a reader. :rainbowlaugh:

GREAT STORY!!!! MUST HAVE MORE!!!:flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage:

aye awsome story though its a pity he got captured so easily :applejackunsure: i woulda liked to see hiim put up a fight first.
arwell looking forward to the next chapter :scootangel:

So totally loving this fic.... :rainbowlaugh:

He didn't really have a chance not to get caught. Everypony's behavior confused him, and he was a bit wierded out. So wierded out that he couldn't react in time. Now, place this scene with his super-drenaline and him knowing what they're gonna do and he'll dodge. But right now, he is captive. *Evil maniacal Celestia laugh*:trollestia:

This was a masterpiece my good man. I haven't laughed as hard as when I read this in quite a while. Keep up the good work and please have scales keep up his antics. He could give discord a run for his money at this rate.

You're doing a really good job of making me hate Scales.

If it has already been explained then i have forgotten, but why did Celly attack and imprison Scales?
If it hasn't been explained, will it be explained later in the story?

646132 its allready been exsplained earlyer when celestia said a dangerous power was coming and after that stunt scales pulled they automaticly assumed it was evil :trixieshiftleft: ether way i now realy want scales to somehow prank celestia while imprissoned :pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy::pinkiecrazy: just to piss her off:trollestia:

Hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate (not you, kowlickkid, Scales). I just don't like him for some reason. Oh well, still an interesting story

By god there had better be some long adjustment period for Scales when he gets free. Using those powers in your head is one thing, having your body be able to keep up with it outside the realm of imagination with no muscles to back it up is another thing entirely!

Hm...i really need to pay more attention :twilightsheepish:
Ah well, it's just like her to shoot first ask later. I think she should get turned into a potato, as potato's are always funny:pinkiecrazy:

Yep... Been waiting for toooo long. Glad you got over the hump.... Now... Back. To. The.:rainbowlaugh: CRAZY!

MOAR QUICKLY NOW!! I DONT LIKE WAITING!!! Jk. But seriously. I need next chapter soon or in going to explode with too much wait

Please post moar soon.:fluttercry: It's soo good!:heart:

Woot! Scales has broken out! And he has trolled Celestia indirectly through Luna! And I hope you do well on those global exams!

FINALLY another update, what took you so long? Really hope Celestia and the Mane Six get what's coming to them for trapping him in stone. Will they have to the truth of their actions and get a very serious punishment?

TY so much for the update. :rainbowlaugh:

1606051 I REGRET NOTHING!!! Except maybe not updating... I've been busy...

I honestly thought you had died.:applecry: I MISSED THIS STORY!!! :flutterrage:

this story is freaking awesome!!!!!!

I've so been wanting this....

That wait took a very long time. I for one good sir do not like waiting... BUT, because this story is so good, I will make an acception. Keep up the good work

2229938 That's spelled exception. Just sayin'

*Is a total grammar nazi*
