In the Sombra timeline, Twilight Sparkle has failed her entrance test trying to open up Spikes dragon egg. distraught that her dreams were dashed and that harmonious magic had failed her, she concludes that disharmonious magic might be to her liking
Wait a second something just occurred to me. If in this version the result of no sonic rainbow lead to twilight becoming evil, wouldn't by that logic also indicate that the rest of the main six could become just as evil? OHHH I CAN JUST IMAGINE THE EVIL MANE SIX!!! Please tell me that when this story ends we can get spin offs of the mane 6 being just as evil as twilight!!!!
Hmmmm, would all immortals have the same chances to 'see the near future' or is it only Celestia? That would be an interesting turn if they all could, though it may take certain elements or preparations to do.
Aaaand I don't have time, so for now I just say I love you to bits, because this
Musical magic
almost never gets any attention(in my reading experience, at least), and in a world where it is clearly shown to be one of the cornerstones of the society. Oh, and it is simultaneously one of my favorite things magic(I mean, explosions, inter dimensional portals and all that jazz is pretty rad, but it's just no the same), so here's that
8026161 Glad you liked that! Its rather a shame how that type of magic is never really explored in mlp fiction. It happens multiple times a season for goodness sakes!
8025439 As much as I would love that or to see Twilight being utterly victorious in this story, that simply won't happen. No matter what turn this story will take, the Tree of Harmony is going to erase this timeline. So in the end, it doesn't really matter.
8027007 True enough, however I am curious to see where Billy G Gruff will go with this. Also, the username Billy G Gruff is earily similar to the story, The Three Billy Goats Gruff. The character Grogar is a goat... and the authors name is awfully similar to the goats' character. I sense a conspiracy ahoof.
The entire fight in the first chapter was a bit weird, but that was already spoken over by people, so moving on. The stuff you inserted into it, however, is very good. Twilight getting overconfident here for a second and being knocked down a peg? Good(objectively speaking)! Her, ultimately, walking away with tons of new good stuff? Even better! It is only left for us to hope she learned her lesson as well. Great stuff man, nuff said.
Now, non pony races being able to use magic is going to be very neato, I can already tell. Opens a heck ton of possibilities. And I already told my opinion on musical magic.
All that said, the second chapter feels a bit... rushed. Maybe it will not look so after edits, not sure, but right now it has the "I wanna get this out of the way asap" vibe. Did you, perchance, wrote it in one sitting sometime after posting the first one?
Oh, right. From the way you described it in these two chapters, it seems as if Twilight can wrestle control back from the amulet after giving in, amirite?
I can't really think of anything else to praise or grumble about right now, so here's that. I can do the polishing if you wish, by the way. Will be waiting for the next chapter eagerly
8028992 Working on the next chapter. It's going to be significantly larger than other chapters.
8027457Feel free to elaborate on what was weird about the fight. Choreography needs to be clear if its going to be enjoyable, and the sooner I see the flaws in the descriptions the sooner I can rectify it. Also like I said via pm, if you see any edits that can make the story better I'm all ears. I'll be the first to admit my writing style is rough around the edges.
Yes, Twilight can regain control from the Amulet. She devotes a lot of brain power to keep herself from being compelled by it, but it is manageable for her. That was part of why she was able to think her way out of her prison as well, because the repressive magic trying to keep her power down actually freed up her mind of having to keep the Amulet at bay at all times, which gave her full access to her most dangerous tool in her repertoire. Her intellect.
8026791 Don't give into despair just yet, this story is just getting started.
While I do enjoy the whole crazy psychotic twilight I actually prefers the quit taking notes with evil intentions twilight. Great chapter by the way can't wait for the next one :)
I'm just imaging her floating around like the Cheshire Cat while acting this way. An Evil Cheshire Cat who is even better at listening/paying attention than the original.

8025439 I love your idea and i recommend you get someone to write that story or write it yourself.
OH, another update. Sweet! Hope this pace keeps up.
Damn good story.
8025997 Why thank you! The fun's just getting started

glass really is a bad medium for magic, way too easy to break.
8025835 yup I am definitely enjoying this so far. And yay a half win for and my predictive abilitys. Bit right much surprise.
8026193 Especially against sound waves.
Clever girl, Twilight.
I'm impressed that she was able to trigger Spike's greed just by whistling, I can see that being very useful down the line.
Next stop, Grogars Tomb.

They will fail anyway
8026734 Some people have speculated that Grogar's domain is north of the Crystal Empire, somewhere in Yakyakistan (However you say that right.) maybe.

8027030 Perhaps, though Grogar wasn't always known by that name. He was a city state king even Discord had to face against him inderectly.
...damn
O-kay.

8034810 Oh that Twilight is going to be making an appearance next chapter. I'm giving myself chills writing it XD.
This story has just the right amount of gore and evilness to it. I love it!
May order that disguises itself as "harmony" burn in hell, long live Grogar!
Oh Jesus, she's magnificent. And scary. And adorable. And horrendous.
Stupendous!
Twilight you are one awesomely demonic filly
