This is an interesting story.
Interesting.
Ohhh :0
Inverno: "I could control what others think, feel, and do when music is playing,"
Celestia: "Would you mind playing something for us before we depart?”
Me: This won't end well

5983064 I can see your confusion, that's not what I meant. I'm not talking about absolute mind control... Perhaps this clip, where I was inspired to write that bit, came from...
Just wait/skip to the 30 second mark, hopefully you'll get what I've had in mind with Beethoven's philosophy.
5983111 Whether or not that is what you meant, I care not. (albeit, tis a little disappointing)
*brickethed for Ye olde butchered English*
5983149 It is better to be disappointed by a let down truth early then to be lead on with a false hope only to turn out false later on.
Wow. That is interesting. Inverno can see music. I wonder what that will do in the future. That is an interesting gift. Great job and good luck with the next chapter.
Ouch.
Great chapters. All these were interesting events. Great job and good luck with the next chapter.
Great chapters. All these were interesting events. Great job and good luck with the next chapter.
wait wait wait wait wait.... would this teacher's last name be Trotavari?
6046413 Master at the key's?
6046444
mind im not smart...
oh wait...... never
I thought I had bookmarked this...
But now for sure, I'll see this story to the end.
Inverno has the gift of Fantasia, I Like that.
Well then... looks like the fame cuts the other way for Spike.
Maybe Inverno will have to personally face someone that Sombra tried to destroy, and hurt in return... although both Shining and Cadance hurt him, and Cadance was just as instrumental to Sombra's death as Spike.
6097124 And... Thank you for giving me a few ideas for the next several chapters.
Great chapter. I feel sorry for Spike but it puts thinks in a new light. Not everyone would hail Spike as a hero. Great job.
:(
:)
Wow. I can't wait to see how Inverno is going to overcome is anger. He is right though, right now he is more of a prisoner. To be honest, I hope he gets out one time, and the crystal ponies mock and even through trash or rotten fruit at him. It would be interesting to see that contrast of ponies calling him a monster, even though he had no control over who is parents were.
Also it would be ironic, because the crystal ponies would be praising a dragon, and calling a pony with too much power a monster.
Good luck with the next chapter. Thanks for the update.
Wow! Okay... That's kinda fantastic! Keep it up!
Oh his cutie mark's for angry playing...
As a big fan of intense, angry music, this pleases me.
Let's hope this is a proper expression of his anger, though, rather than stoking the flames and making him more dangerous to others.
Destruction, Rage, and Sadness bring forth creation from soul. So let the soul cry out to form a world new.
a perfect piece, at a perfect pace
woah that was intense...

Psssh. It might be taboo on a story so strongly about classical music, but metal's one of the aggressive music styles I was talking about.
" I would go as far as saying that he was the Great, Great, Great, Great, Grandfather of Metal music."
I ... Di .... di y jes
Did you just acknowledge my joke last chapter?
6111661 Not only did I acknowledged your joke, I have proof that he is. Take a listen to this, and it'll prove my point.

Well now I know why My favorite music is Symphonic Metal.
That was deep. Thanks.
I seriously want Rarity to show up, and give Inverno a disguise so he could go outside.
I love Key Signature his ideals of music just speaks to me.
Great chapter. It looks like Inverno is going out on the town. I can't wait to see what happens next.
This isn't gonna end well...
I loved how the crystal heart showed two futures. Great job. Good luck with the next chapter. This is going to be good.
Either Sombra's an abusive father or this colt obtained trauma-induced amnesia.
Uh...
I was sure that Inverno's name would be somesorta musical term. When's the next chapter and why the heck is Shining Armor talking like Phil!?
6131274 I'm trying to write up a chapter a day, and I have no idea why, but that's what I've heard in my head.
6131869 Have you tried Phil talking in Shining Armor's voice?
On a side note, have you heard of the Disney Hercules?You do know who I'm talking about, right?6132478 Oh! That Phil! To be honest, no, that wasn't my intention. I just write down whatever came to mind. But I suppose you might be wondering why he just calls him "Kid?" It's connected as to why he really calls him his actual name, it's because, to him, he doesn't really have that strong of a connection yet.
Ah the cruelty of gossip and scorn.
Either Key Signature's granddaughter is Vinyl or Octavia.
6134782 I'm going to say Octavia because Vinyl would make very little sense, but if Vinyl was the granddaughter it would be interesting to hear why he hates Octavia.
Wow. It looks like Inverno is one the most wanted list. Great job. Good luck with the next chapter.
Do you publish your chapters immediately?
