Arc 6.1: Chapter 46
With the ghost of 3-A “vanquished” by the “brave ghost hunters,” preparations for the haunted house continued. Sunset and a few others took to sneaking supplies to Evangeline’s villa as the start of Mahorafest loomed, returning an hour later with mountains of finished set pieces and props. Thankfully, everyone was too hectic and panicked to question these miracles.
Mid-terms came and went, and Sunset was proud to see that her study group (with the exception of a certain pinkette) had done very well. She herself, of course, got perfect marks.
The final day of preparations arrived, and, somehow, it looked like the haunted house would be complete on time. With luck and elbow grease, they’d even get to sleep that night before Mahorafest began the next day.
Sunset was among the last few workers as the sun began to set. Her Midnight Route required a few complicated bits of machinery that she’d borrowed from the University and had to test out. Ako and Akira were helping her while Yuna and Ayaka finished the last of the set-pieces.
“These ideas of yours are straight-up disturbing,” Akira said, grimacing at the realistic spray of “wipe-away-blood” that one machine produced. “How did you even come up with them?”
“Horror stories of Library dives gone wrong,” Sunset answered not-entirely dishonestly. “And lots of horror movies. Believe it or not, anatomy textbooks were less helpful than the movies; it doesn’t matter what intestines actually look like spilling out of someone’s chest so much as it matters what people think they look like.”
“I am never going through your route,” Ako said with a shudder, stuffing said “intestines” into a manakin. “I don’t know how you’ve been able to sleep at night with all of these ideas running through your head.”
Eh, seen one warlock disembowel himself to fuel an eldritch-summoning ritual, seen it all. “Guess I’ve just got a strong stomach for this kind of thing,” Sunset deflected. “But that’s the last of it. We should probably head out.”
“You go ahead,” Akira said, wiping sweat from her brow. “Ako-chan and I are going to help out a little more to finish it off, but you’ll need your rest if you’re going to be pulling a graveyard shift on top of enjoying the festival. Go on; we’ve got the rest of this.”
Sunset gave a grateful smile and a nod before heading out. She hummed to herself as she walked, a little surprised at her good mood. A month or two ago, she would have scowled at the idea of spending so much time after school helping her class with anything. But Yuna, Makie, and Ako treated her like an old friend by this point - anatitude that she reciprocated - and even Natsumi was no longer nervous around her. Akira had started being friendlier with her too lately, though Sunset noticed that had happened only after the other girls had warmed up to her. She seemed to be the de facto “big sister” of the class, and had kept from getting close to Sunset until she’d been able to take her measure.
Sunset found herself relieved that she’d passed whatever tests Akira had had in mind. A youth spent on the school’s swim team had given the girl a surprising amount of muscle, and while Sunset was under no illusions that the girl posed any serious threat physically, it would be hard to justify being able to curb-stomp her if Akira ever decided that Sunset needed to be brought down a peg; she’d definitely have had to pull her punches and take a few to the face to avoid any suspicion, and Sunset suspected that Akira would fight dirty if it meant protecting her friends and classmates.
“Heh, kind of reminds me of myself, actually,” Sunset reminisced. “Anytime I had green-horns working with me, anyway. I wonder if any of those squirts ever amounted to anything? I’ll have to check up on them once I return. Let’s see, there was… um…”
Sunset came to a stop just outside the school building as her mind went blank. Have… have I really forgotten all of them? I can recall a few faces, but… She sighed and continued walking, her mood significantly dampened. “Just another thing to regret, I guess.”
“Ah! Nichibotsu-chan!”
Sunset looked up and narrowed her eyes. “Shizuna,” she greeted the school guidance counselor shortly. “What business do you have with me?”
Shizuna shrugged off Sunset’s rudeness with a slightly strained smile. “The principal needs to see you immediately,” she said. “It’s a very important meeting.”
“The principal, huh?” Sunset considered refusing, but the principal knew about her being from Equestria. While she didn’t think he’d use that as leverage against her, she’d still rather not get on his bad side. “Sure, fine. I’ll head to the old man’s office.”
“Ah, no,” Shizuna said, her eye twitching at “old man.” “He’s actually waiting for you at the plaza in front of the World Tree.”
Sunset raised an eyebrow but ultimately shrugged, changing direction and walking off without another word, wondering just what the principal wanted to talk with her about. She couldn’t recall any egregious rule-breaking that she’d been a part of lately. Well, except for staying at the school too late to work on the haunted house props, but most of the class was guilty of that, and several other classes besides. Which meant…
Something to do with magic. Sunset’s back straightened at the thought and her hand twitched towards the pocket where she kept her wand. Must be serious if he’s calling me out about it.
As she approached the World Tree Plaza, she tilted her head back to take in the massive object that towered over everything else in the city. The World Tree was deserving of its name, as wide around as any of the school buildings and taller than any skyscraper she’d ever seen pictures of. If it had been placed at the base of the Canterhorn, its branches might even have kissed the base of Lower Canterlot.
The plaza itself already contained over a dozen people. Sunset recognized the principal's wizened old frame, as well as Takamichi and a few other teachers. There were a few students as well, one of whom Sunset recognized.
“Dog-boy?” Sunset asked in surprise as she ascended the stairs to the plaza propper. “I’m surprised they brought you into this. Aren’t you still technically on probation or something for Kyoto?”
“It’s because of that probation that I’m here,” Kotarou answered. “They told me that this job would clear me, so I can finally say goodbye to all these annoying interviews and check-ins.”
“Good to hear.” Sunset nodded curtly to one of the teachers. “Takamichi.”
He nodded in return, his usual pleasant smile on his face. “Nichibotsu. You seem to be doing better.” His smile turned more genuine. “I may not agree with your methods, but thank you for helping Negi-kun.”
She shrugged off his thanks. “Just said what needed to be said.” She turned to the principal. “So? What’s this all about?”
Several of the teachers glared at Sunset for her rudeness, but the principal waved them off. “One moment, Nichibotsu,” he said. “We’re waiting on two more.”
Sunset raised an eyebrow and surveyed the group again. Her eyes fell on Kotarou, and she connected the dots. “Ah. So that’d be-”
“Ah! Negi-kun!”
Sunset turned at the principal’s greeting and, sure enough, found Negi ascending the steps, Setsuna right behind him.
“Right this way young friend,” the principal said, gesturing Negi towards them. “I hope you’re feeling more at home here at Mahora?”
“Y-yes, I am,” Negi stammered in reply, looking around. “Wh-what is…”
“Ah yes. Allow me to explain.” The principal cleared his throat and began pulling a hand through his long, white beard. “These people are usually scattered throughout the university-town. Elementary-school, Middle-school, High-school, and University. Magic teachers, and a few magic pupils.”
Sunset hummed in mild surprise while Negi responded with shock. The teachers reintroduced themselves to him, apologizing for their deceptions. Sunset, for her part, had already known about a few of them, both from Takamichi and from sensing their magical power herself. The principal’s confirmation that everyone here was a mage reinforced her suspicion that they were gathered to deal with some sort of magical problem.
“Now then,” the principal said as Negi’s shock wore off, “I’ve gathered us today because a problem has arisen. It will require all of our strengths to resolve it.”
Most of the students - and Negi - seemed nervous at this announcement while the older teachers simply seemed intrigued. Kotarou looked like he was spoiling for a fight. Sunset, for her part, kept her expression neutral.
“This is an unconventional problem,” the principal continued, “and one that is more subtle than an enemy mage. But it is a serious issue none-the-less. I assume that you’ve all heard the World Tree Legend of Unrequited Love?”
Sunset groaned and Kotarou scoffed. “Aah, that thing?” Kotarou asked. “It’s a famous but worthless story my classmates keep going on about. They say that on the last day of the school festival, people wish on the World Tree, hoping it will grant their desire. It’s mostly used for lovey-dovey confessions and stupid things like that.”
Sunset nodded along. She’d heard the rumor as well. In fact, she’d heard the rumor almost non-stop for the past week from both the girls in her class and the general student body. It seemed that half the girls at Mahora were hoping either to confess or be confessed to during the school festival. Sunset had dismissed it herself as nothing but the vapid fantasies of hormonal, love-struck kids, but if the principal was bringing it up…
“Unfortunately,” the principal said, “the rumors are partially true. Confessions are helped along once every 22 years. Ladies and gentlemen, from tonight until sunset on the final day of the school festival, the Legend of the World Tree will come true. So you must watch out for this behavior, and block any confessions made by pupils.”
“EH?!”
Negi and most of the students reacted with shock. Even a few of the older teachers seemed surprised. “But, isn’t it just a superstition?” Setsuna asked.
“Ho ho ho.” The principal chuckled, stroking his beard once again. “To be brief, the students call this the World Tree and take good care of it, but it’s not just an ordinary tree. Its actual name is ‘The Sacred Tree Bontou,’ and a very powerful magic is hidden inside. Several wood-element-aligned ley lines converge beneath this tree, and wood magic begins to build up over time.Once every 22 years, that magical power gains enough strength to overflow its boundaries. From the World Tree at the center, the magic is channeled into six points around it, including this plaza.
“Now, this power is not omnipotent, and it won’t grant just any wish. Wishes for world domination, a hundred billion yen, or selfish nonsense such as the girl you like’s underwear will be ignored. But the wish that it does grant can be a terrible trap for young people. And this is the reason we’re so concerned. You see, confessions around the World Tree during this time achieve a 120% success rate.”
Sunset let out a low whistle. Even disregarding having lived with the Princess of Love for a year, she understood well the dangers of this sort of subtle mind-altering magic. “That is impressive.”
“That’s impossible!” Kotarou shouted. “How the heck does it work more than 100% of the time? You’re pulling our legs, old man.”
“”You’re too narrow-minded, dog-boy,” Sunset reprimanded. “There are any number of ways for this sort of magic to manipulate people even without a direct confession. Innuendo. A one-sided hug or kiss. I usually roll my eyes when people talk about ‘putting their love into’ whatever gift or goodie they make for their crush, but even that might be enough for the tree to work with.”
The principal nodded. “Nichibotsu has the right of it. We’d usually be better prepared for this, but there have been some abnormalities in the weather due to sunspots this last year that are causing the release to occur a year early. As such, I am drafting the various mages already stationed at this school to lend their aid.”
“But, is this really so dangerous?” Negi asked. “I mean, having sweethearts and such is normal, isn’t it?”
Sunset sighed. “You’re a kid after all, Wildfire.” She glanced towards the principal. “Mind if I take this one?” At his nod, she elaborated.
“Love is the single most powerful emotion that one can feel, capable of overriding wrath, lust, and even fear of death and public speaking. It has compelled individuals, communities, and entire nations to act in ways that - to an outside observer - seem as madness. The root cause of the Trojan War can be traced to love. Romeo and Juliete are prime examples of what happens when one considers only love in one’s decision-making. There are more songs, books, and poems written about love than about any other topic.
“And that’s just natural love. Love augmented by magic can create disasters unlike any you can imagine. There is a story from my homeland about a king and queen who, bamboozled into drinking a love potion, neglected the affairs of state in favor of staring into each other’s eyes until the whole of the nation was in ruin. One of my contemporaries wielded love as a potent and powerful weapon in and of itself and, though her combat instincts are laughable and she’s borderline pacifistic, she has the potential to become the most powerful mage in all of history. Even a small love potion can cause the best of friends to literally murder each other in a desperate frenzy to be the only one to stand beside their newfound ‘love.’ Permanent love ensorcellment is nothing short of mind-control based slavery. Temporary bewitchment is even worse, as the victim is left hollow and forever burdened by the decisions he made while so enchanted. Love is dangerous, potentially deadly. Magic-induced love is nothing short of monstrous.”
The plaza was silent for a long moment, everyone staring in shock at Sunset. “That was…” Setsuna eventually ventured, “...surprisingly thorough.”
Sunset turned a level glare on the swordswoman. “One year. Living together with her. And getting these lectures constantly. I became a graduate-student of love without even trying.”
The principal cleared his throat. “Yes, well, Nichibotsu is essentially correct. And unfortunately, rumors have already spread wildly throughout the student body.”
“Indeed,” one of the teachers said, leafing through a binder. “According to ‘The Academy Seven Wonders Research Society,’ ‘The Academy Chronicle,’ ‘The Occult Society,’ and ‘The Study of the World Tree from the So-Called Love Society,’ ‘observations indicate that stories about the World Tree Luminescence Phenomenon have considerable truth and it brings people closer together. Even ‘Mahora Sport’ has released an article about it - among others - and the rate of the spread of rumors among academy students are as follows: for the boys, 34%, and for the girls, 79%. People are discussing it seriously, but few think it to actually be true.”
“But with the rumor spreading so much,” another teacher added, “it will likely embolden those who have heard it to make confessions whether they believe the rumor or not; there’s always that lingering though in the back of the mind of ‘what if?’”
“And that’s why we need everyone’s help,” the principal concluded. “We need to prevent confessions at these six locations. It’s awkward and cumbersome that it coincides with the school festival this year, but there’s no helping that. We’ll be dividing up the shifts as follows. Takamichi-kun, you’ll take-”
One of the students twitched, a girl that Sunset hadn’t met before. “Principal, we’re being watched.”
Mana flared from most of the gathered mages as everyone tried to find what the student had sensed. Ah, nostalgia, Sunset thought as she searched. I haven’t felt this many flavors of mana all at once since the mage corp. She quickly found what the other girl had sensed: a small helicopter drone with a camera, hovering a few hundred meters distant in the air.
One of the teachers - a tall man with slicked-back hair and sunglasses - flicked his finger in the drone’s direction, bisecting it and sending it crashing to the ground. “There was a strong feeling of magic in that machine,” he said. “It seems that she still hasn’t given up on finding out who the mages are.”
“Chase them!” The principal ordered. “If they get too far, there will be too much publicity about this. Limit the number of pupils who find out!”
Several of the teachers shot off. Sunset raised an eyebrow at the principal. “One of the students is trying to expose magic?”
The principal nodded with a sigh. “This student discovered magic a few months ago and has already tried to expose us three times. It’s nothing we can’t handle, but it is troubling.” He shook his head. “But that’s not your concern. I’ll send you all the information about your shifts later. For now, scatter!”
Sunset quickly departed, noting as she did so that people had already begun to crowd the plaza. “Rather convenient that they left us alone for so long,” she muttered to herself. “A barrier?”
“That’s right.” Sunset barely managed to hold back her flinch as Takamichi answered her; she hadn’t even realized he was walking beside her. “The principal put it up before the meeting. Anyone without magic was subtly influenced to take a different route to wherever they were going, leaving the plaza free for us to use.”
“Useful trick,” Sunset acknowledged. She glared up at Takamichi. “So why are you following me?”
Takamichi looked down at her, and Sunset was surprised to see a touch of wariness in his eyes. “I just wanted to talk about the student who’s trying to expose us. I know that magic is common knowledge in the world you come from, and I know that you don’t approve of how we conceal it here. Nichibotsu, if this student came to recruit you, would you join her?”
Sunset held his gaze for a moment before shrugging. “A couple videos of people talking in a plaza aren’t going to convince anyone. CGI is so good that even videos of an all-out mage battle would be easy to discredit. If some kid here at Mahora thinks it will be that easy to expose magic to this blissfully ignorant world, then she’s a fool. Bring me a cabal of outcasts with a lot of black market power and behind-the-scenes political influence, and maybe I’ll consider their proposition.”
Takamichi chuckled, and his expression softened. “I admit, I thought you were more of an idealist than that.”
“I’m an ambitious and idealistic practicalist,” Sunset corrected. “Don’t get me wrong, when magic is finally revealed to this world, I’ll probably be right at the head of it. I just don’t believe for a second that some student who just discovered the existence of magic recently has a chance.” She shot a half-playful half-cocky grin up at Takamichi. “Don’t discount me as a threat just yet.”
Takamichi just smiled, a bead of sweat forming on his temple. “Hopefully I’ll be retired by the time your revolution comes around, then. At the rate you’re progressing, I won’t stand a chance against you.”
Sunset took the compliment and split off from him, turning back towards the dorms. You’d better retire soon then, Takamichi. Once I ascend, I don’t plan on resting on my laurels for long.

It’s always a nice treat when this updates. I hope sunset gets to pactio with nodoka. Pactios are pretty pretty powerful, and it’s looking like a pactio with negi is unlikely to happen again.
i'd more think she would pactio with chao (is more think a phrase?)
... Wait, could she power her magic with her own concept?
And Sunset is still a bit evil under it all XD
10807574
Not evil. Just ambitious.
10807862
She and Chao should get along XD
10808026
Hey, Patio are awesome and are a big part of the settings magic system XD
10808029
They have many drawbacks and are limited. True mages can do much more without having artificial limitations.
10808037
Its what they did in canon *nods* hoping they give her something even more impressive this time XD
10808041
On the contrary. Its a bit like resistance training. Practio help both the magister and the contracted grow their magic power faster than if they worked independently. Contractor steadily improves both their ability to sustain higher levels of magic output, as well as improved their magic levels. The contractor has their own potentials drawn out and development supported as they perfect their patio, spilling over to their independent capabilities.
Plus, with tradition mages it is essentially a DND party, with the contracted being the front line defense and offensive screen for the mage's squisher glass canon. Only a very small minority are like Negi and Sunset being able to fight as well as they cast. Not for lack of trying, its just a very rare attitude and even then takes a lot of hard work to pull off to dual class like that.
10808061
Thing is Sunset won't become an Alicorn with a Pactio card; but if she got one that let her turn back into a unicorn it would be insane.
Getting to one of the more fun arcs from the Manga. Can't wait for next round of chapters.
I wonder if Sunset is going to join Negi in his time loops, or use the candy to look younger... Also I wonder if she could use the magic for her own purpose like make a gate to Equestria or a horn.
Suddenly the image of Sunset using the magic to summon Celestia for a pactio crossed my head... But I know that is very stupid.
It makes you wonder if Sunset becomes a powerful human mage, will it interfere with her unicorn magic in that both seem to require a different mindset to utilize?
Sunsets plan:
Step 1: Become Alicorn
Step 2: Expose Magic
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!
10808682
The reason magic has to be exposed is that otherwise Magical Mars and thousands of people die.
10809196
I've read the manga, I know the plot. And it's not quite that simple.
10809196
Dude, spoilers. Not all of my readers have read the source material.
10809274
At this point is like Goku being an alien. It was a spoiler at the start of Z...
10809210
Yeah but that's Chao reason to do what she does.
10809490
Yeah, but it's made pretty clear that her plan was a long-shot at best, and it wouldn't have worked the way she had it planned, as the attitude from Megalomesembria and the Magical World isn't 'we have to deal with this', and more 'Pull everybody back and seal the gates till this all blows over'.
Chao put so much thought into HOW she was going to execute her plan, she didn't stop to consider what was going to happen afterwards. Similar to what I posted below, her plan was basically:
Step 1: Expose Magic
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Peace
I'm wondering if (as seems likely) Sunset joins up with Chao, she'd be able to advise her on what to do afterwards, what with coming from a magical society and all.
How have I just realized this existed!? I adore this story please keep it going!
On that note! Gotta say I think she will side with Chao, no I know she will. The spell Chao uses reveals magic as an undisputed fact in the minds of people around the world, Sunset would appreciate that sort of genius I think and how direct it is, like forcing someone to see the truth. Given how sunset has been characterized in this (which I love how she is in this, we see the real sunset changing and being changed by her environment and this is masterful) I can totally believe she’d go against Negi and the gang.
Which begs the question: Just how screwed are they when they barely won the series?
10809572
Welcome to the story! And yes, I have very fun plans for what happens between Sunset and Chao.
10809640
I like the reinvented backstory. The Equestria you’re showing us through sunset’s backstory shows us a much darker version than we’re used to, more real and probably has a lot in common with the Magical World.
10810054
This is a ability which add weigth to each attack of the user until 50 and some, 100 tonnes if i remember (since SDS have some pretty dragon Ball like moments in terms of power).
Obviously, not a boost that heavy, but still the same idea sound nice, especially if Sunset go on using the boxing style.
My problem with Sunset brother is mostly because I don't like Sunset not having Celestia as her "mother in all but name", the only stories I liked when she wasn't really that had instead twilight mother taking this role (and so Sunset having a family-like relation with Twilight).
10810062
No It won't, I think Sunset works way better as an orphan without any relatives. And I still think that the way you made Sunset kill her family is quite stupid when a magical surge, if in a smaller scale that the one filly Twilight had, would have worked much better and fix all the plotholes.
Simply put unlike with Twilight, and because the surge happened with Sunset using fire magic, Celestia got to her too late.
10810288
I well understand your disagreement with me on this point; we've discussed it at length. Which is why I replied to Daemon's comment (he having not yet reached her backstory chapter at that point) and not one of yours.
10810351
Sunset personality and character Ark makes way more sense if she had no other emotional connection but Celestia. Hence why she was willing to risk using the mirror when Celestia was kicking her out.
There, said my piece. Besides that and the fact Sunset is not secretly planing to murder Eva I like the story.
I quite aggree with Pinklestoa honestly.
Although just like she/he, i still love this story.
I like to imagine Chisame trying to confess to Sunset
What is the schedule of this story actually ?
Also, what do you think of something like the ability i talked of for Sunset ?
10812435
Schedule?
The ability sounds interesting, but a little too reminiscent of something in UQ Holder.
10812528
well, that's a answer.
Do you know others stories of anime crossover with Sunset ? I know Friendship Souls, SAPR, Sunset Shimmer : Kunoichi (who is in hiatus) and i crave for those kind of stories.
10812542
None come immediately to mind. Honestly, most of the Sunset Shimmer stories I read are Romantic Drama SunLight fics or the Freeport Venture Saga, and I don't tend to read a lot of crossovers at all. In fact, apart from a couple of Harry Potter fics that are on indefinite hiatus/have been canceled and that one Fairly Oddparents crossover that hasn't updated in a while, SAPR is the only Sunset Shimmer crossover I read/have read.
10812633
well, you should read friendship souls, it have 138 chapters and is update every two weeks (unless problems that is).
Also, is Celestia the "mother in all but name" of Sunset in this story ? It's because it's doesn't seem to be the case then i am upset about the part of your version of her backstory regarding her family.
10812694
I have left their relationship vague, haven't I?
Honestly, I feel neither the need nor the desire to specify their relationship status as of yet. I've read so many stories where the Human World acts as a giant therapy session for Sunset's Celestia-mommy issues that I'm sick of it. (And other stories have done it far better than I ever could.)
There are two philosophies when it comes to character backstory. 1) the backstory sets up internal and/or external conflicts and it is vital for the author to convey it in full. 2) the backstory sets up the character's personality, ideals, philosophy, and goals, and you only need as much of it as is necessary to establish those. Both are valid philosophies, and every good story falls somewhere in the middle ground. In this story's case, what Sunset is like and how she thinks are more important than her issues with the ponies she left behind. The only reason I detailed her relationship with her brother so much is that it gives weight to her conversations with Asuna about her and Negi's relationship. The only reason I felt the need to have a flashback chapter where Sunset shows Negi her past is because it relates to his own past of lost family and his drive to see his father again. But Negima! doesn't really have any sort of teacher-child relationship drama that could relate to what Sunset has with Celestia. And so long as there's no reason for Sunset to bring it up, there's no reason for me to write it or specify it.
This is one of the wonderful things about leaving a backstory somewhat vague in an evolving story: you get to shape it as needed to fit the story you're telling. Personally, I see Celestia as having been a mother-in-all-but-name to Sunset, but that's non-canon word of god at this point, and it may change if a different relationship dynamic would fit the story better. I guess you and I both will have to wait and see how the story progresses to find out exactly what sort of relationship they have. I can at least guarantee that, whether or not their relationship is clarified in the main story, I do have some epilogue chapters planned that will feature Celestia and Sunset interacting. Answers are forthcoming; I'm just not sure when they'll come or what they'll be.
10812542
There's A Unicorn in the Clover Kingdom, a crossover with the anime Black Clover. It should be in the recommended links at the bottom of this chapter actually.
10814935
Already read it.
7 on 10, and it's not like i am a fan of the manga.
10814970
It's a tokusatsu cross (so anime adjacent, rather than actually anime), but I really enjoyed Kamen Rider Unicorn.
10812633
Well there is a very good original story with human Sunset as a Magical Girl...
10815246
the link ?
10815079
i will try, but this isn't exactly what i thought.
And i already know the Batman and spiderman crossovers.
I also already know the Sao one, and i don't really like it.
10815246
Magical Girl Sunny? Yeah, that was a good one.
10815271
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/347946/magical-girl-sunny
10815385
thank you.
Although i am not interested in human sunset shenanigans, but the ones of the equestria girl one in human form.
As serious as a kiss-obsessed terminator.
As a mythology buff, I have to dissent, for the root cause, as explicitely declared in the myth, is Zeus' decision there were too many humans around and that they needed being culled through wars, with every other factor being Zeus taking advantage of events or outright manipulating them to insure a major war of the entirety of the Greeks against Troy and its allies.
Love was a mean, not a cause.
10815833
even without this reason from zeus (then i didn't knew, so thank you) it was also the pride of Aphrodite, Athena and Hera who had lead to this.
10816807
Because they had been manipulated. Zeus could have settled it by wisdom and forced them to accept his judgement (he's literally more powerful than the rest of the Olympians combined), but instead sent the goddesses to Paris knowing that whatever bribe he accepted from them it would end up in a massive war against the Hellenes.
10817181
Well, thank you.
what about the list of MLP character names in japanese version ? By japanese, i meant like Sunset name turned into Nichibotsu Hikaru.
, Also, what would be Chisame and Zazie reaction to the idea of having a crush on Sunset/Nichibotsu ?
10817656
Bear in mind that I am still learning Japanese, so some of these translations may be imperfect.
Twilight Sparkle: Yugure Kagayaku
Rarity (Bell): Kika Suzu
Fluttershy (Pegasus): Nabite Tenma
Rainbow Dash: Niji Shissou
Applejack (Apple): Appurujakku Ringo (There is no Japanese name for the drink.)
Pinkie Pie: Pinku Pai (Both of her names are English loan words.)
