This is a story about a sheep. A little sheep, locked deep in prison, put there by ponies. He doesn't want to be there, but then he's had to do a lot of things he doesn't want to. It's a shame he deserves to be in there.

Nice.
Featured nearly every time you update, bloody amazing mate
I just noticed the extraordinary dynamic similarities between Prey and Lemon's "partnership" and the hierarchy (and relationship) between Ennis Prochainezo and her master, Szilard Quates. Quite unnerving how close the differences really are. I wonder, should our dear Lemon ever gain some sense of autonomy, should she end up as her hypothetical counterpart? Or shall she be smote from this Earth, as I suspect Prey would? His paranoia, after all, is not inductive to working with, or over, for that matter, an individual (Lemon's very existence, being proof of this fact).
Curious.
As for this "Shadow War" that our titular
herofinds himself in, I find it... invigorating. A delicious battle of wits and wills. A guerilla conflict; each side tentatively feeling out the other side. Searching for weakness and shatter-points. I feel that Prey is like tempered glass: come at it with a hammer, and you are repelled. Blasted by waves and pressure, it may turn back the tide (so to speak). But find an imperfection, a weakness, and the entire structure is compromised with but a little pressure.So, it is merely a matter of either side finding the imperfection or angling themselves to have the proverbial tide break against them.
What a delightfully stimulating conflict; the catalyst, the crucible, even, of a character. Blasting away the slag from iron ore.
If you'll pardon the gratuitous metaphors.
Well, exemplary work with this installation (though I'm sure that goes without saying). A riveting chapter, to be sure.
Thank you kindly.
And I wish you well.
Respectfully, Laika.
One Array to rule them all, One Array to find them, One Array to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In Morder where the shadows are.
This story is so interesting because it's one of the only ones like it on this site. Every chapter is so interesting also because of how Prey is.
Also, canterlot families are scum aren't they. they don't even care about their daughter anymore, only what happens to her and what THEY can get out of it. Scumbags

I, uh, don't know the references to "Ennis Prochainezo and her master, Szilard Quates", but I'm sure you're correct wherever that's from! 😅
Happy that you like the shadow war where each side is jostling for position and the advantage. Who ever gets it first; wins.
Hmmm... was it established that Prey couldn't listen in on changelings at all? Because there's a suspicious part of me that wonders whether Saffron and Lilly didn't recover, but rather replaced, and they're another part of the changeling investigation of Prey.
10509126
To answer your question: Yes, Prey couldn't hear the thoughts of the Changeling, the one pretending to be the Border Guard, Shimmer. So far he has theorized that holds true for any other "mimics" out there. 😇
10509146
... now I'm wondering whether they know that he can hear the thoughts of normal ponies and whether they can project thoughts somehow. Damn you and your ambiguity! (But not really, I love the suspense.)
10509034
Check it out. It's from a show called Baccano!. It's really good.
Nice, things are evolving and as usual, while everyone is having fun in a slice of life manner, the noose is tightening around Prey's neck
Poor little guy.
Great chapter, as usual
Perhaps lemon could end up being what Prey turns into in the future, as in taking over?
This chapter reminds me of something...
Thanks for the chapter! Great work! Also, really like the artwork.
I'm surprised that Prey has managed to keep up this 'Shadow War' whilst hiding in plain sight. Well, no one ever said Prey was untalented. Except maybe himself... And others... Like, a lot of others including Prey's enemies whom are likely dead now because of that.
I can imagine them forcing Prey to talk to Lilly,
"If it were up to me, you would be dead."
"Is that supposed to be encouraging?"
"No. I'm going back to my flat now."
Joy, the tension and suspense are wonderful. The unique way the story plays is... delightful. Happy Halloween and watch out for adorable lambs in dark alleyways...

To be honest, there are few stories on this site that are of this quality.
I'm sitting here and thinking to myself if Prey derserves a happy ending.
And my answer is no but not due to his crimes or his mistakes but due to his fundamental way of thinking.
He claims to be a survivalist and would love to be left alone but has a kill list full of enemies.
He can't be happy without a war, and a one man war to say the least which I think stems from his fragility, he acknowledges himself as weak and is seen constantly challenging and beating larger and more powerful foes.
Thats not to say Gossamer doesnt have a chance though, they key difference between the two is memories and mind magic is the name of the game.
duplicate word
Also, just realized that this arc has focused so much on crimson and lemon that gloom now seems more like an adversary than some kind of boss or chaperone making him do things he doesn't want to.
It seems the final grains of sand have left the hourglass, the time to prepare is over, now its time to act!
Another awesome chapter, keep up the great work!
how long has it been since prey left drevorton?
10509914
He was released in the summer (IMO, July sometime) & it's now late autumn.
Only two errors I’ve found and the duplicate ‘magic’ which has already been mentioned. Great chapter, the memory events from lemon was a nice way to flesh her out more. Really shows she’s not just a tool or instrument, an echo of prey that’s developed a bit more.
Ive got this niggling feeling that a job will land in the INSD lap about some underground terror group set up in the sewers who defeated a powerful spec ops group, and prey will have to hunt prey. Trying to hide his involvement from his squad and having to make the choice if lemon takes the fall.
only marked as spoiler in case I’m ruining something good.
I really adore how every new chapter of this story is a pleasant surpise both temporally and in narrative. Who doesn't love a good six hour game of monopoly when you're being hunted by a squad of highly equipped and experienced problem solvers?

Once again, thanks for pointing out any and all mistakes anyone might see. 😄
10509914
Yes, just about half a year.

"Where will this end? Only destiny knows."
10509645
You know who rules dark alleys? Midgets with night vision. Prey's got 1 of the 2 down.
10509571
Ha ha, quite. That made me laugh 👍
10509880
Thanks for pointing out the mistake as always.
As to the Arc being much more focused on Crimson and Lemon: Yes. Yes it is. I'm not trying to make Gloom irrelevant though, and he never will be, but this story is very much about Prey, and those whom Prey likes/interacts with. He created Lemon, and he and Crimson are both in the same boat as conscripted convicts.
The end of this should be
"Far too little, far too late"
Saffron sharing her life story:
Almost everyone in the room: "nooo thats so sad"

Thanks for making me aware of that. (See you've changed your pic. too)
Welp, I plowed through the whole damn thing in under four days. Wow. I don't think I've seen something this engrossing since the Savage Skies series. This is going in the hall of fame folder for sure.
10512731
I'm happy to hear it. Hope you like the future chapters too.
I'm impressed I few stories hook me like this I really cannot wait for more I love prey as a character he is just awesome keep up the amazing work
Is the story ending soon or do you just mean the climax of this arc, this has been one of the most entertaining stories I've read in all my years here and it would suck to no longer see these bi-weekly chapters
10515834
Hello. No, I only meant the Arc.
10515834
Although.... I'm writing the next chapter now, and it looks like it might just possibly maybe not actually be the last chapter in Arc 4, but the second to last in the Arc as things are currently going. Oops.
I...I...I need MMoOOoRrREE!!!
Looking forward to the next chapter! This story is great!
Damn, I'm caught up. At least I'll actually sleep at night now.
I'm following lots of stories and this one is the one I'm most excited about :D
Good, i require more l a m b.
Flow Edit: , for keeping on coming to visit me. (This feels really stilted to me. Suggestions: "for continuously coming to visit me." "for visiting so often.")
