Sanguine Eyes


I am the high priest of Snuggloth the dark one, I am the champion of his armies, the undisputed king of Snuggles.... fear me

Coming to as if he was only just created and fleeing dangerous foes without a single scrap of knowledge as to who, what, or even why he is, a single griffon races to find answers. He does well in finding somepony interested in helping him and finding out exactly what is wrong. He just never expected it to be royalty. His life being empty, save for a princess or two hoping in and trying to assist alleviating his pain. He fills the terrible dark gap in his soul any way he can, which gets him in trouble in more than one way.

Special thanks to Tathem Relag and Earl for their masterful editing and proof reading.
The art provided was by amazing artists Nick Valentine and Earl from Equestrian Amino.

(Please note that this story varies lightly from canon. The story does not feature known characters like Starlight Glimmer or Thorax, additionally, events in the story imply noncanon things like Changelings being incapable of turning into skittlebugs, and some minor headcanon on a few various topics.)

You've done a good job of building up the suspense in this. I can't wait to read what happens in the story next. Keep up the good work with everything.

7634520 >w< yey.
It is a shade or two dark, but it has some really good stuff in it. I hope to amaze and inspire ^w^ all who read it

7634522 You are doing a great job. So I am sure you will.

Many questions I'm hoping for answers to. :rainbowderp:

7637797 that is the fun with a mystery
So many questions, and as you go along every question leads into another that slowly begins to seal the canopy of answers above you until you can see clearly what is going on... and who he is OwO

7638017

Actually, this chapter has left me empty with questions. I'll be reading it regardless. :twilightsmile:

7638120 well please do stay tuned. ^_^ The plot of the story is VERY in depth

7638222 and I shall not disappoint ^_^

Will definitely stay tuned. Still trying to figure out who he is for roleplay xD

Dang, this is good. I can't wait to read more.
~Melly~

8121104 Thank ye ^w^

Chapter five is complete, its just waiting its art and the editing ^w^

Lel, that Tyrin/Luna relationship tho. :rainbowlaugh:
But yes, I'm very interested to see where this goes. Though I sort of already do, since you had shared ideas for the story when you were first coming up with it. Still, can't wait for the next chapter!
~Melly~

This looks like it could be interesting :moustache:

"This armor... it is not something they give their prisoners or their soldiers... its the ritualistic champion armor. The head honor guard, a position that replaced their prophet Gnaeus the Seer

No... not replaced... all those doors... all those weak, rusted and damaged doors, with memories, with minds, with souls, behind them... and that one single, big and powerful door... shit, possession :trixieshiftleft:, a strong and powerful body for a strong a powerful mind that crushes/subjugates the body's mind and takes control of it, Order magic could take on a mind of its own after all (if i understood it right)

A skilled reader should know what's going on.

Yeah, i am guessing something along the lines of possession or reincarnation through Order magic :trixieshiftright:

The darkness welled up in his eyes leaking down his cheeks as bloody rage rose up inside him from the depths of his soul. “You will not touch her…”

This is not gonna end well :moustache:

He watched weakly as the hilt of the gold and ivory weapon impacted in the puddle of blood before his eyes. “I am disappointed in you Tyrin. You hurt my ponies, put my kingdom in danger, and wasted my time.”

You're disappointed, in someone acting like a father to protect someone they hold dear :trixieshiftright: ? you're being quite the hypocrite there miss "Will do anything to protect her nation" :facehoof:

^_^ yes.. it was tricky to write, but people have to do these sort of mental gymnastics in order to justify their actions. If she didn't double down and bare her teeth so to speak, she would probably succumb to her pain of having to resort back to lethal combat which is not too common in the land of friendship rainbows and puppies...

9038934
.... So if Equestria was a land of kittens, it would have been fine :trixieshiftright:

9039120
LOL XD
and rainbows and lolipops and puppies...

Iknew it! I knew it was latin!

8666678
I think it's a combination of both, kind of like a chosen one deal.

9047313
^_^ Happy you like it so much...

Don't worry, there will be more, I'm just working on another story at the moment... you might like it, it does technically have Tyrin in it if that works for you... however, he's not nearly as nice...

I'll have to try it, but one of the things I like about this story is how an enemy group has used Celestia's protective instincts to unleash a monster. After all only an idiot or some one who, is blinded by their own thoughts wouldn't be able to recognize anmemotional anchor when they see one.

“I was on the moon! Banished by YOU! For what? What was it? Oh right, my own family refused to even acknowledge me, I didn’t just want love, I only wanted to be loved back!” Luna hissed through her teeth as tears began to leak from her eyes. “Why didn’t you kill me the first time huh? Because I was your sister? Do you know what eternal night would have done? It would have killed everything! You would spare me but kill him? Is your nepotism really that strong? What about the second time? Why not just kill me? Was it because you still loved me? Or because you were a coward and ran? You left a child and her friend to face me in your stead!”

So many fantastic points :twilightsmile:

“That is not how it was and you know it!” Celestia’s burning glaring light consumed every corner of her side of the room. “The elements made their choice, it was fate and I had to follow it.”

You practically raised Twilight to fullfille that so called "fate".
And no, you didn't have to follow it, you chose to follow it.

But he was not in the mood. He had a new friend to talk with, a little changeling to snuggle, and a battle to plan, a battle he was very likely to loose.

I don't know, you might get some unexpected help :trixieshiftright:

So is the next update coming in three days then?

9177427
I wish, I can Pump It Up in that time but it would have nearly be as high of quality.


9176570
I'm always happy to see if my readers are smart enough to pick through these kind of things. ^_^

Why is celestia such a generally terrible individual in this story?

9332109
She's not, there are things that a leader has to do. Those choices aren't always easy. She is making the choices based on our experience and based upon what she feels she has to do. She's not necessarily a bad person... She just has to make tough decisions that no one wants to. And while she doesn't have all of the information, she is a little bit redeemed at the end. She makes peace with it and even willingly sort things out with Iris refusing to pursue her as a changeling.

"First base... huzzah..." Tyrin coughed smoke with a happy grin.

Loved this line :pinkiecrazy:

9342310
XD Lol I think a LOT of people can relate to his joy, even at the cost XD

The greatest perfect ending. Well done, old friend

9677488
^_^ thank you... it means a lot...

It's taken me a while to get into this story but in finally hooked enough to read it.

10343028
Thank you, it's kind of my Mona Lisa my baby.

Dam now I want this new story for some curse you

10780920
Originally I played with the idea of Militis Corde to be a prequel to his son's story, but this tory was far more entertaining and meant a lot more as the character of Tyrin is actually based off someone special and the story does have a special dedication.

10781014
I agree that this was far more entertaining and interesting to read and I understand with the tyrin because of parents are vets and both were combat vets

10781278
Indeed, you should see some reflected issues and understand the struggle.

10781300
I have and do sometimes but my mother when into occupational therapy so it does come through most the time.

10781618
^_^ It's why I chose to write it like this, it's a struggle that is criminally misunderstood and under represented. A real and true tragedy that people dismiss or ignore far too often.

10782291
Your right and thank for writing but still going to be waiting for the next one
