Ya know I never thought about that whole lava thing. That's pretty daunting when you think about it. Great chapter.

Feels soon rushed.... but onwards!

So, I'm guessing by the title, they'll discover they're sorta immortal too?

It would make sense, in some novelizations, worlds where magic had a hand in evolution, beings of strong magic are held less by laws of nature and science like carbon chains but more like bound by magic and invigorated by it too. Explaining why mythical beasts or powerful sages and sorceresses are long lived or immortal.

This felt like a nice breath of fresh air compared with many other stories I've read. Many writers make the abysmal mistake of leaving Fluttershy to be shy, even after her relationship with whatever is the main or chosen character has advanced to this point, and I honestly hate it.

Getting to see a glimpse of the level of history Golds is at least somewhat aware of is at the same time enlightening and a little disturbing, heh. But then again, you don't live that long without learning a little bit of everything.

I put my arms around her to give her a firm hug, then kissed her on the top of her head. “Don’t worry. It’s just something I’ve thought about many times. I’m just saying, no one is truly invincible. Besides, that wouldn’t happen. Lava is too dense. People don’t plunge into it like water; they actually just sizzle and skip around on the surface like beads of water on a hot frying pan, and they just burn to death.” I chuckled a bit, “Please don’t ask how I know that.”

Oh hey, the author actually did their research! Not too many people actually know this.
