TDR Presents
Book 4 of Stories in Stone
Capricorns Curse
Great start, can't wait for more!
I already looking forward to more!
Holy shit mate, I love you! (No Homo :3)
And I'm still busy with "Stories in Stone, Luna's Royal Guard" (the first part of this series)...
I had skimmed this first chapter, and like always it looked great!
I'm struggling catching up, but someday I will reach this story for real!
(Hopefully before you publish part 6... )
Good work!
yay, book number 4 begins.
Not real impressed so far, I've gotta say. It's very expository and cramming in five or six different points of view doesn't really make for a proper chapter. I'd break it into two or three to a "chapter", although Twilight and the train conductor obviously belong together. Are they all on the same train? Is there a reason the two of them are utterly unconcerned about the train's passengers? I mean, there isn't a ton they can do about it at the moment, but really... It's also kind of confusing to refer to a purple 'shield', a yellow 'shield', and a dome of energy all at the same time.
7073264 Actually thanks for pointing out the coloration issue. I didn't catch that. Initially it was all purple but i needed to set the color apart from Twilight's.
This is only the prologue with a bit of exposition. It gets more complex as it goes on.

Yay! Didn't know this was out but super glad to see it!
saa...showtime da....
7076455 I dropped it the same day i posted the last episode of LE.
7084571 Oh story wise or Trust nothing day wise?
7084607 ?
7084792 the catch phrase of Kamen Rider Wizard, translated it means 'its...showtime'. every battle Wizard is in is like a show and Haruto-kun has a bad habit of using very showy attacks and a lot of flourishes to his strikes
I know who the Donkey and threat is to.. Wondered when they would appear.
Heh......
hmmm... a black alicorn capable of killing a god with but a scratch and a spell. that's not small feat and a rather unpleasant thing to see in a dream too. if that's what Jer was talking about towards the end there then this could get quite interesting.
something worse than tirek i assume given this is several years since tirek's defeat.
oh! i just remembered. that giant thing Jer and the others summon by invoking Jer's luck (damn you have quite the luck. lol) in the ice cavern in the last chapters of the previous book. what was that thing? and if so, what reference?
7085678 It had too sooner or later.
7086263 Actually the big thing under the ice didn't reference anything it's existence was created for that joke.
Read your blog post. If this is cancelled then you should change from "incomplete" to "cancelled" or at least "on hiatus". Your series has been great, but even Asimov eventually quit writing.
7088757 Missed the Happy don't believe anything day post i see.
I was hoping this would update before the weekend. Seems like a good start so far. I would still love to see a flashback scene of Scootaloo and Pip being grilled by each others respective parents.

is reading Stories in Stone, Lost Empire important to this at all? can I read it between updates on this or should I read that one first so I know whats going on?
7120312. Well the orders
SiS Luna's Royal Guard. This introduces the main cast and their history with Luna.
SiS Memories of Twilight shows how they got where they currently are and the interactions with the mane 6
SiS Lost Empire sets everything up for where they are currently with the New cast.
Not sure what you have read of Stories in Stone but those three are needed to know motives and much of the cast.
7107730. I'm trying to limit big flash backs. It was a little jarring in LE. Though there will be some as individuals recall things.
7113260 You may be on the right track.
... Maybe..... Though as always there's more than just one thing going on.
7121435 Solution. Tales in Stone chapter
7121464. Hmmm not a bad idea.... Or a blog.
7121427 oh I see that now, no I have not read any of the previous ones but I plan on it now... Kinda odd that I have not read them, I mean I know of Them and seen them but I guess I never got around to reading them... Till now that is!
it is looking good. shit will go down.
After a long time I have finally created an account here so I could comment on your stories. First of all: I love your stories, man the story in stone series is one of the, if not the most, enjoyable stories I have ever read! Damn you're a good writer and you have a great mind for the best combination of fantasy, humour, cliffhangers and brutal action! Keep up the great work! I'm really curious in what this story will bring.

Rest In peace Prince
oh boy...the last thing they need is that goddess coming back. on top of whatever this other dark presence is (capricorn?).
bubblegum crisis...never seen that anime before but that video looks interesting. guess i'll check it out sometime.
7180476 lets just say that there's a few things going on here. Capricorn is also usually represented as a goat creature.
Its one of my favorite animes it definitely shows it's age though. There's bubblegum crisis, crash, 2040 and 3 spin offs in the same universe. AD police files ,ADpolice 2040, and parasite dolls.
My first fic on this site was going to be a cross over of bcc 2040 and mlp until SiS took prescience.
Can we put that bitch in the sun this time when she inevitably get loose?
I love Berry, she's so adorable in her zaniness.
7247441 Berry may be adorable but given she's built like a princess she's got a lot of admirers.
7182767 maybe
another tome...
hmmm... :/ i know less of grogar than i do of tirek. i wonder which was the worst of the 2. and like with tirek, i wonder if grogar might appear in the FiM show as well at some point.
still, if grogar is the "capricorn" of this story then that at least clears up that mystery.
Wow, I thought there was no more SIS stories. You pretty adamant when you said that, TDR. What change your mind?
7256175 that was the April's fool's blog.........
7256222 D'oh
Looks like CC made it to the featured box.
Yes please. Very much yes. Best character has entered the game. Guess this ruined my thoughts for a Tales in Stone chapter, but I am okay with that.
one of my favorite bands.
who doesn't like some dragonforce with headphones on and the volume cranked up high. lol
oh, that reminds me. if you haven't already, check out Symphony X. they're pretty good too. ;)
Anyone who doesn't know this song even if only from rock band deserves to have their music cards taken away
