Taking place many ages after a great war ravaged Equestria, Discord and three ponies Bright Bulb, Tinker Toy, and Zara must brave the depths of Tartarus and Hell, ascend the mountain of Purgatory, and finally cross over into Paradise in pursuit of six ancient books that will hopefully prevent war from coming once again to Equestria. Heavily based on Dante's Divine Comedy as well as numerous other bits and pieces of classic literature.

The premise sounds interesting. I´ll be sure to check this out when I have more time :twilightsmile:

6874121 Thank you sir. Please let me know what you think of this first chapter.

Well, this was indeed pretty intriguing! I really enjoy the set up and the vagueness of the narration does imbue the story with a mysterious and dark aura. The characters are not themselves, but they are familiar, which is to be expected due to the time that has passed. By how you are putting it, Fluttershy must be at least a thousand years old. Taking an actual figure and turning them into a myth takes a lot of time. The only problem I have for now is on a technical level. You need to revise what you´ve written, there are some serious typos and errors of structuring. There were occasions where I could not even discern who was talking. So, all in all, it has potential, but you need to polish it a bit.

7231374 I thank you very much sir for your kind words and constructive criticism. I have finally found an editor to help me with my use of grammar and structure. Ive always been better at structure and character analysis than the technical stuff like grammar. Needless to ay I'm in the middle of writing and revising these first few chapters.

P.S- I'm not the biggest Discord fan in the world but he has quickly proven to be the most fun character to write. I pictured a Discord who has had a couple big experiences change and mature him for the better, but at heart he is still a prankster.
