Now, this is an AU done right.
Go get him Twilight.
Flutters... I'd love to read that encounter
So are the princesses dieing due to their "elements" running out or are the elements dieing with the princesses? And doesn't that mean that if magic, the ponies very life force, runs out that everything dies anyway? Or the earth ponies can't grow food and everyone starves?
7581303 :) That's what Pinkie said when she learned... :)
7581425 :) Thanks :D Glad you enjoyed
7581428 It isn't her... She's too weak :(
7581437 Maybe some day... :)
7581581 :) The princesses are dying and as a result their elements are disappearing. Most likely ponies will go insane first. Blueblood is rationing sunlight so there will be enough food.
7581916 Bushy eyebrows! ==> }:^)
Well, they're certainly right in that Blueblood won't get away with it.
Just... wildly off as to why.
7584338 :D Well, if he lives out everyone else he will. Technically :P
Well, if Blueblood is going to spend resources on research, he would be a vital part of it.
As he's the only alicorn who's not on the brink of death now; so, he can be a guinea pig for testing medicine.
Actually. that depends on him even more than "being a heartless tyrant" thing.
7584594 Considering that he'd die just a short time afterwards, not really.
7585677 :) A stallions mind is not suited to handle such power :P j/k
7585811 No one will ever know... :)
Nice exploration of an AU.
And you left open the possibility of a sequel too, with Fluttershy and exploring what Twilight’s dealing with as well.
7623728 :D Thankee. Not sure I'll sequel this at present, though.
The first chapter got my upvote.
But this? This moves the story straight into my Favourites. Well done.
Aw snap...
Woah, it’s a multi-chapter story now.
Maybe not, Celestia. Maybe not.
Looking forward to the next chapter.
Well you're pulling no punches this chapter...
7655773 Norris! :) Thanks! (Sorry, I totally forgot to respond to this :( )
Glad you enjoyed and hope you're ready for more darkness :)
7656005 Sometimes these things just go snap :)
7656809 It is :) Remember to read the notes. ;) (hint)
7688896 :) I could say, but... best leave it for later ;)
7729642 Thanks :) Hopefully, next week
7729646 You of all people should have expected this :)
7581919 How is Twilight weak?
7730068 The alicorn plague has affected her as well
Great chapter, though I'm kinda hoping for some kind of miracle to save them all, but who am i kidding i know that ain't gonna happen. Poor everyone in this story.
7731211 Time will tell :)
7731306 Don't give me false hope like that. Unless you plan on delivering.
7731613 I won't say anything one wY or the other, then :)
7731622 Well either way i guess I'll find out later, won't I?
7729688 Hmm… right now there isn't anything special in them (yet?)
7729646 Your expecting her to not in a plot like this was a grave mistake, my friend.
God my feels. Sad to see dash die and seeing blueblood break down like that. Damn it, someone save them all. Great chapter though, really "enjoyed" it.
7758222 :) If you "liked" this one, you'll "love" the next... O:)
7758227 Well then. That's gonna be a fun day.
7758227
The head of an angel, a.k.a. Lise right before dropping a bombshell.
The expression on our faces while we hold on to our hats.
WELL THEN! Wasn't expecting that from spitfire and god damn if that isn't depressing. Part of me just wants this to end so I can be happy again, then the other part of me wants to know everything else that happens, even at the cost of my sanity.............GOOD. Seriously though this story is a great story. Sad but it is a good story that I highly appreciate. Keep up the great work.
7763117 I'm hurt! :P
7768861 :) Thanks.
Not as sad as the other chapters but it does bring to light many other things and does build up nicely. Can't wait for the other sad chapters.
This is going to be a Tragedy, isn’t it?
...
No holds barred...
