Awww dogs day out

I am confused. Has this story received a complete rewrite or are there bits and peices that dont make sense still in there?

Priceless chapter. Very fine humor. Until next update

Well, that was a bit of a leap forward. We don't know what Twilight's reaction to the metamorphosis was.

(Edit): Oh, you re-wrote the previous chapter to remove it, and replaced it with the glittery wing thing.

So...did Aurelic just acquire a Diamond Dog pack? I mean, he made the Alpha submit to him. Doesn't that mean he's the Alpha dog? And he just walked out on that opportunity? Use Alpha status to properly introduce the pack to the Princess! Begin integration procedures! Legal access to Equestrian resources that would help them stockpile more gems in exchange for lending their unique talents to the Ponies is a win-win, and only makes sense!

It did have a complete rewrite initially, but I've recently gone back in and done some tweaking since then. Nothing should be too confusing anymore, but I might have missed some things still

That would be a good idea. Thing is, Aurelic never even thought of doing that because it wasn't what he was there for in the first place. I have demonstrated in that very chapter that Aurelic thinks of things like that usually after the fact if he hasn't planned for it. So he might return one day to do exactly that.

This isn't good. Weaponizing magic with an external thing hasn't been done since... ever!

Really? No one has ever said, "Hey, we have magic powering all these devices, why not a weapon?" I find theat very unlikely.

No, doing that will only make him aware we know what he's planning on doing.

But you don't know what he's planning. You know what he's making, but that doesn't tell you what he's going to do with it.

Forge carries his mostly empty saddle bags as he heads towards the Ponyville gem caves.

Wait, was this the same day? Did he go from Canterlot to Ponyville, a trip that takes most of the day, the same day he spent however many hours designing that weapon?

Oh my fucking god this is perfect. Must be Snails' father.

How does he know he isn't Snip's father? Also, this seems to serve no purpose.

One of the guard diamond dogs rushes at Aurelic, only to be met with a swift rolled up newspaper to the snout. This startles the dog, as well as the others. The alpha looks Aurelic over again, holding up a paw.

"Okay, okay. We will help you find the gems." The alpha affirms, signalling to the bloodhound looking ones to start the search.

Well, he won't be alpha for long, showing that kind of weakness. He caves to a rolled up newspaper? It would have worked better if he found it amusing and helped because of that.

So what is he even doing in canterlot suddenly? And what is he building? This feels disjointed and the dialouge feels lacking and far too simple.

-Working under Celestia as royal blacksmith.
-Weapons etc. he also 'invented' better swords...

Cant argue against your last point
Might need a littel work here and there ones its completed.

There are ancient artifact weaponized magical device things, but I don't think the hive knows about things like the alicorn amulet and book of creation.

I should have also specified that the ponyville trip happened the next morning.

I also should've mentioned more details on Puppy-Dog Tails' appearance, will fix that. But there's no greater purpose to it than a small amount of world building.

The alpha also didn't back down from a newspaper, it was the dog he'd signalled to test Aurelic. The test was to see if he could hold his own against one of the lower ranked pack members, which he kind of did.

Kind of retconned the changedling thing for now, it was a bit too early for that anyway. But he does have the potential to as indicated by the glittery wings. He's still missing a few things to complete the metamorphosis at this point.

It's still hatd to believe no one has thought of that since ancient times.

That's not how it seems. It seems like he saw his bog get smacked with a newspaper and caved in like a wimp. I would at least have something showing the alpha is impressed with him. Though, then there's the problem of him being impressed by a newspaper, which is still a little far fetched.

On the subject of changedlings/nulings I am firmly in the hater group. If I was Aurelic and realized that the meta-morphasis had started I would make significant effort to prevent it. Maybe occasionally venture to a different town, drain a bunch of ponies and commit some other evils to balance out the friendship.

Yeah, at the moment he's not super confident, especially since he knows Sunnybuns would probably be able to obliterate him on the spot if she chose to. But he'll find his confidence eventually, just as he needs to learn to accept himself. Character development and all that ;p

Magic gun!

Thanks for the sex toy hiding spots Two-eyed one horned not yet flying purple pussy beater.

BAHAHAHAHA, I'm fuckin dying over here!

I mean, not having to worry about needing continuous supply of positive emotions to function would definitely be a boon, and since the old design is cooler, he could just use his changeling powers to revert to how he previously looks. Why either/or if you can settle for both?
