This story is a sequel to One Changeling, in a World of Foes


Warning! Early story. Bad grammar inbound!
Several seasons have gone by since Thoraxis decided to stay in Ponyville, and life there, surprisingly for the most part, has been pleasant for him. He has made a few friends, love is easy to acquire and devour, and everything seems to be, for the first time in his life, easy and without worry.

Skia, Thoraxis's adopted, changeling daughter, senses something that may be missing in her foster father's life. He states, as the history books do, that changelings can only feed off love, and cannot feel or experience it for themselves. Always the young one with an ambition to change history, Skia undertakes the task to prove the facts wrong, and, much to Thoraxis's ire, she successfully sets him up on a blind date in the Crystal Empire.

Only, heh, there's one, eensy-weensy, teeny-tiny, minuscule problem with the date he's sent to meet.

She's a wyvern.

Oh, and not long before setting the date up, Skia encounters a strange, injured creature, from another realm entirely, in the middle of the Everfree Forest, and another adventure is found with it.


But not all is well. Unbeknownst to anypony, Vile Faux, a changeling so evil, twisted, depraved, and despised that he was cast out of the changeling hive, is tasked by Queen Chrysalis herself to hunt down the two "traitors" that have willingly associated themselves with the ponies, and... "dispose of them" in the most heinous way his sick mind can imagine.

So I guess there's that.


(Crosses over with the Dark Souls series. Don't look at me like that, I was going through a phase!)

Oooh!! When I read dark souls I was inquisitive. But of all beings I did not expect the Pursuer. Though taking you name into account maybe I should have. Looking forward to this.

So... would one have to play dark souls to get this?
Bout to sound rude but if one does have to play read our even remotely understand dark souls in order to under stand this story, and it's a sequel to a great story but did nothing to do with it in the first one then this would be a waste for those who don't bother with dark souls. A waste and a horrible way to continue a story with mentioning it in the first one.
Lastly if 'humanoid' it's in the story without the human tag than it just confuses the readers. Humanoid means human like creatures exist and since that isn't classified our mentioned, along with ponies not knowing what humans are.

6537728 All will be explained, in a way you can understand, later on.

6537738 Well that should be okay this time I suppose. I´m not sure if it would be fun to read, if it would happen always.
Well I can´t say much right now, since I don´t understand what that kingt was supposed to be, I honestly thougt I would read about the main Char already.

edit: To be honest at first I thought Thorax would be the father, and he would date Luna, but now I just don´t know who the main char could be.

edit 2 : forget it, I just noticed that this is a sequel, well now I have to read rather fast to catch up I guess.

6541389 Many POVs are to happen in this one story. To tell you the truth, the main protagonists are Skia, Thoraxis, Moredread, and Petra Whitescales. I shall not delve into spoilers, but hear this: I am trying to make my stories sound as if they are actually taking place in the canon, but behind the scenes (i.e. in between seasons, in between episodes, or before the show even takes place. The first chapter of this story actually takes place at the end of season five's "Slice of Life" episode). That means that if I ever try to ship my oc, it will be with NO CHARACTERS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE SHOW. That would be a sin!

Loving this so very much.

First half: DUN DUN DUNNNN!:pinkiegasp:
Second half: Skia, you sneaky little changeling! I 100% approve!:scootangel:

:facehoof:
What Twilight?
:facehoof: Nothing, it's nothing.
Okay!:pinkiehappy:

I don´t think that I like this story very much, I´m pretty sure that it isn´t perfect, but I know that it isn´bad, but I´m not interessted anymore.

I can't wait to see the look on his face when it turns out his date isn't a pony.

It's so obvious!:facehoof:
Moredread is obviously the alicorn in the story.:ajbemused:
Can't wait to see how that blind date goes.:derpytongue2:

Moredread dying?! I...he....you....them....what!!??!?

In the next chapter, Thoraxis meets his date! For sure, he meets his date in the next chapter.

Darn you cliffhanger!

There's a difference between affection and love, Moredread

Actually, if you look up 'love' in the thesaurus, you'll find 'affection' in the list of words.

My reactions on Thoraxis's date: :applejackunsure:Meh, I couldn't care more if I even tried.:ajbemused:
My reactions on Skia's kidnapping: Oh my god!!!:pinkiegasp: Shit's about to go down, people!

Ah...my old enemy. Cliffhangers.:rainbowwild:

Aww. I think we were all hoping the letter would disappear and then reappear back in front of Moredread. :duck:

Uh oh where did I put my anti bad guy repellent know it's around here some where

Skia, don't be like all those other protagonists who wait until the last possible moment to use the deus ex machina jewelry. Use that summoning pendant immediately after waking up. It will save a whole lot of time and effort for everyone if you use your new best friend. The badass spirit handmaiden of the goddess of mother fucking justice :ajsmug:

Well...good news is that the tall figure wasn't the enemy.:scootangel:
Bad news is that Skia has been captured now by that old changeling whatshisname.:twilightoops:
Fuck.
It's about to get real crappy in a moment.:twilightoops:

/Snap/ *Cough cough*

What? Oh don't mind that noise. It's just death approaching.

I so called Moredread being King Longinus!:scootangel:
And yay:yay:, he's not dead, actually became a physical being, and was separated from the Darkness.

Yes Skia!!! Yes!!!!!! You have done us all proud by eliminating the psychotic murderer right off the bat! :yay:

Do you actually work with the people that write the show? Or did you just make it a coincidence with the whole Matilda and Cranky wedding?

6661944 I began writing my first story before the episode came around, and when it did come around and I saw the changeling, I did a LOT of homework to find out why it was there, and found out (on T.V. Tropes, I think it was) that the changeling was her friend. Then I worked it into my second story as best as I could manage.

6661985

Nice that's cool to know and I doubt any of my writing will wind up working with the show unless they add a mentally Crazy Unicorn in the Everfree Forest XD

F*ck!:twilightoops:
Sh*t is about to go down! I hope Skia's ok.

I'm amazed that a pursuer dying doesn't trigger a failsafe spell that calls in MORE PURSUERS.
That's what I'd do.

Why can't a story ever have a decent deus ex machina for comedy purposes? Besides the Elements of Harmony of course.

Wow, that was sad. I hope tht Skia is all right. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Awww....he didn't die.:pinkiesad2:
Sorry, I just read a violent and dark story, so I'm a little on the murderous side today. :twilightsheepish: (Or maybe I've always been this way.:pinkiecrazy:)

Was that a sleeping beauty reference in the beginning?

When Thoraxis figures out that it was Chrysalis behind everything he is going through, "I veel give to jew pain vith-out end!"

I have a feeling Dimensional Technologies needs to come and set some ponies straight XD

Plus we have ways of returning memories just find the crazy mad pony in the Everfree and ask for help

I was kind of hoping to see Vile get brutally eviscerated by the Pursuer, since his crime would have given it more power to do this:

Death would have meant getting out of his punishment. Smart money is on him being turned into another pursuer.
