Whoa...
I really really need to know what it is about Skyreach that rattles Celestia so much.
D'you think that the pegasi enslaved the other races?
Because that's the vibe I'm getting.
See this is the problem being cryptic to a bunch a folk that have a large bump of curiosity, you basically DRAG them into what you don't want them to do if you become all mysterious and DONT answer their questions.

Really, it is a no win scenario. She can't win either way.
7935018
The Picture used for the fic MAYYYYYY have something to do with it.
7935040 Oooh yes well noticed.
Poor Celestia, there's no way she could have stopped them going, short of arresting them (and even then...), but she had to try. It'll be interesting to see just what's up with Skyreach to rattle her so much.
Of course, we know from other Weedverse stories that they all come back alive, at least, although that doesn't cover all the injury they could suffer, by a long shot.
First Tribes splinter group?
Commander Hurricane and friends abandon Equestria in its early days?
A group of Pegasi who overcame the Windigos by being above them?
A group of Pegasi who refused to give up their warrior culture when peace became more prominent in Equestria?
Not pegasi at all?
So many possibilities.

I'm pretty sure Commander Hurricane who experienced Windigo's First Hoof wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the fragile peace. My Guess is a Splinter group of Pegasi from his command who refused to give up their culture.
I'm guessing the only reason Celestia can't make Skyreach off-limits to the citizens of Equestria is that doing so would alert them to its existence and location. And probably carry some political backlash.
That gave me a lovecraftian feel.
Making something seem so terrible that it isn't worth going, will compel many to go.
So unless a lovecraftian horror is in there, well... they where going to go if it was found the key lead to it.
7935022
Sounds interesting.
Making a first guess, I'm getting more of a Noah's ark feeling. The pegasi abandoning the other tribes and fleeing up in the sky to save their hides, bucking the ideal of the loyal pegasus in the face... Something like that.
7935388 The thing that makes me think it was slavery was Celestia's comment that it would destroy unity between the Tribes.
I like your take though, it's like the blemish on the record of loyal pegasi.
7935438 I doubt it enslavement the other tribes pretty well had the Earth Ponies enslaved before the unification. They were good for only one thing and that was beneath the others . Beyond growing food which the other 2 tribes could do what good are Earth ponies? I find it little wonder some unicorns believe themselves so superior with their magic they can affect the weather and grow crops not as effectively as the other 2 tribes but its possible.
Maybe an ark definitely a fortress but something tells it dark. We also have the fact Celestia is in a catch22 and is sure 3 people that have faced so much and survived time after time will not survive this trip.
You have an element of Harmony thats saved the realm many times. A pair of adventurers whose's lives are adventure novels and they've survived time after time and yet Celestia is still sure they can't do it let alone return if they try
7935638 I'm sure that all races could farm, but would they be as specialised, as versatile, or as experienced as Earth Ponies?
Also, pegasi literally make the weather. So unless you're a very powerful wizard (or your cutie mark is weather) prepare for snow, snow, snow!
And the unicorns control the sun and moon. That's important too.
Thar be an extra 'have' in yonder statement.
Honestly, compared to the other readers I got an entirely different vibe. Perhaps she doesn't want them to go because it's basically paradise. That would partially explain why telling them would only make them want to go even more. Perhaps it's too much of a paradise and noone who sees it ever wants to leave, that could be why she mourns their "passing", she would never see them again.
7935682 That's the point if you are bigoted Unicorn what do earth ponies add. You don't need them for crops or weather and you control the celestial bodies
7935031 Good going, Celestia. Now *I* want to go.
7935781 ... shit. That could very much be true.
Although, from what we have picked up in PTSSFFF, I'm not too sure on that.
Like many others, I'm very much getting a Cosmic Horror Story vibe from this. Secrets and knowledge so awful they claim everyone that try to unearth(or bring back down to earth, in this case?) them, that the only recourse Celestia feels she has is to keep them hidden.
Very much looking forward to how this is going to turn out.
7935781
Like the island of people addicted to opiates in the story The Odyssey.
This seems extremely good and detailed, but I am a bit put off by the mature and sex tag.
7936559
This is not a clop fic, but it is a piece of mature fiction. It will have mature themes the sex tag is for innuendo.
There will be no explicit sex, just lots and lots of storytelling.
7935834 I don't
7935438
Another thought that came to me - what if not Noah's arc, but the Tower of Babel? Skyreach. Or a combination.
Maybe a project of all tribes, until something divided them (Discord, maybe? He did say that he was the one to make the sexes misunderstand each other, so why not a diversion like this as well?) and the pegasi hijacked the results and ran off?
Well if she thinks she can't stop them, she might as well try to prepare them, not start mourning while they're still in the room. Reel in the drama, Sunbutt
If Celestia really wanted to stop them, she should have lied.
7936567 I was wondering that myself, I'm guessing you've been flagged before about innuendo even with a mature tag?
Any adult would figure that's just a part of the mature tag being sex jokes are for mature people, it would be different if
say tarnish, was boning some pony or say dash or Daring were doing something, but I just don't see innuendo as something
of a sexual act. But I understand if you're just being safe about it, I just think you'd have more thumbs up if people got it instead
of just coming to your stories expecting sex. Sure the chase has it in it, I'm no sure about the others, other than suggested sex
like say, in the weed as well as a few of the following stories which only hinted at it.
Anyways keep up the work i really do like your stories.
I find it incredibly fustrating when characters do the whole 'I know important stuff but I won't tell you,' bit, since if Celestia really had the wisdom of ages, she'd realize that they were probably going to go no matter what she said.
7935031
But if she did answer their questions they'd just go anyway. They were potentially planning on going without her intervention, too.
Really, if she's this broken upon about it they're kind of being dick friends to just ignore her history, her wisdom, and her feelings. It's not like she's got a precedent for being wrong about these things. When in doubt, you listen to the person who knows what they're talking about.
Granted, we wouldn't have a story that way...
and here i thought Celestia was smarted then this.
guess not.
