It appears to be the mission of their dreams. Princess Twilight and Applejack, alone together, are to settle an issue in the buffalo lands.
But the mission is easy and Applejack and Twilight enjoy the time they spent together.
However, something happens on the trip home to change their lives.
Applejack and Twilight have to deal with their feelings, survival and life and death.
This story has religious overtones.
Just like most fanfic, it is a ‘what if’ and a parallel universe. As such it is a possible outcome if circumstances were different.
Chapters (7)
Now me personally, Im Agnostic but I love the ideas and culture of Native Americans. So Im glad you decided to add religion into it.
This is very sweet, I like it. I like how you have AJ unable to walk and Twi with limited magic and no flight. I'd like to suggest a way out for them, and that's the dreamscape.
Surely, should they have a nightmare then Luna would be alerted?
8205761 True, but there was a 'hand' at work in all this. Thus them being lost for a month (moon) and yet they only experienced 6 days.
Bear enjoyed this.
Bear would like to see more stories building on the mythology you have hinted at here.

Perhaps, but I have several stories that I have to write the last book for. I did enjoy this however. I have played with the idea of Viking Mythology (Guess who is Loki?) I have also thought of incorporating the stories of Elric of Melniboné as The Eternal Champion, a Hero who exists in all times and worlds, is the one who is chosen by fate to fight for the Cosmic Balance (Balance=Harmony). stormbringer.net/images/elric/elric1.jpg

Bear can guess who Loki would be. Bear guesses...FLUTTERSHY or FLUTTERSHY ACCESSORIES.
Bear is familiar with Elric.
Bear discourages a true crossover...Pony Elric would be nifty.
Bear is very familiar with the concept of the Eternal Champion. Bear has used concept in his D&D games for a recurring NPC that shows up in every game regardless of setting.
Til Valhal.
Cool story I like very much. Love the fight with twilight and the mountain lion.

If you pay attention, there were several times that the two could have stopped and thus avoid being at the bridge at the time the wind came up etc, etc. There was a reason why the things happened and even why Luna couldn't have helped. What happened, was exactly what was to happen. The whole Guiding Hoof thing.
Just have to ask would this make AJ immortal since Twilight is a alicorn since they are one

Could be.....
This started out strong and somewhat dropped midway to the end.
Pretty spiritualistic. Kissed a lot till it's getting awkward. And the somewhat forced converastion along the lines of "I have a wife and I must tell the world". Also could have brought Granny around for a private conversation instead of putting her on the spot.
But it was enjoyable.
Loki pony? I've got to see more expansion of that.
