The stallion must choose between hiding from his past and resolving it—between secrecy and redemption.
[Rated Teen for themes of violence, and very mild language.]
And I'm now interested.
Wow... Now that's what I call a good story. Can't wait for the next Chapter!
Dun-dun-dun-dun
Anyways, like your story just put more spacing between the paragraphs please. It makes it easier to read and helps you from rereading a sentence... or if you are dyslexic like me it help you not get things mixed up.
960020 Hey. Since everyone else here seems to think it's appropriate, I'll make sure to edit later chapters that way. (Personally I think it's ugly, but whatever makes the reading easier, you're right.)
Glad you're liking the story

Thanks. Dyslexia is a bitch!
hhhmm. my guess is the cutie mark he bears.
... I do believe I am now hooked.

Dun dun dun.

Very nice. Good flow and credible plot that is working up to something both Great and Grand.
Good chapter guy!
and i need to see more of this and soon please.
damn son. this just got even more interesting
and so celestia gets even more pissed off and emerald is put on a tighter leash.

I dunno. From this incident, it's pretty clear that Emerald, not Celestia knew what was best. If Luna can be sealed, so can Celestia. And even if Spade is not, as he says, greedy, somebody out there is.
More to the point, if Emerald had done as he was ordered, he would be dead, and if there is a way to undo a seal, he's the one who knows what it is. Of course, if he hadn't been ordered to hand out the sealing technique, this debacle wouldn't have happened to begin with. The best way to make sure a dangerous never gets used is not to make sure everyone has it, but to make sure no one has it.

but she didnt want a sealing technique. she wanted a cold lightning technique that could kill. he didnt deliver on that and from her point of view he caused this whole thing and thus will be put on tighter restrictions from now on.

No, she wanted the sealing technique for her sergeants. The cold lightning was intended for her lieutenants, but Emerald switched it with the draining technique, likely figuring (correctly) that they wouldn't know the difference. Personally, I'm curious as to what's happening behind the scenes with Celestia. She's never otherwise shown an interest in accumulating more weapons for the Guard. There are greater powers at work here than we are seeing.

And this is why we are having a debate about this to create more ideas if the writer is stuck or to flush out any thing hidden in the story by said author. I am glad we could have this discussion. Thank you.
And so the princess is even worse toward spade and i was right. Also this shit is getting so real i can almost feel it.
And so the epicness is embraced and Kung Fu has entered the picture. AAWEEESSSOOOMMMEEEE!!!!!
I still wonder why this story has so few readers... Not reading this story or disliking it is a crime against fabulosity
Oh, awesome chapter btw

Hey thanks man, that's really nice of you to say. Maybe you could spread the word and get me some more readers

Only three? Uh-oh, that doesn't seem good...

One of the things that fascinates me about this story is how you explain the principles of magic. I can't remember ever reading a story that depicted it as good as this. Congratulations
Ooooh, there's another villain there... Now to find out what the Bird wants... And what he did to Storm Cloud.
Stosyl, you really know how to make your story thrilling, although it's long. I wish there would be more writers of your type.
I hope there'll be a big showdown between Emerald and White Bird... That would be fun, !
Moar! Luna is best pony!
Oh. My.
Curse you, White Bird! Stealing Princess Luna! If I had one wish granted, it would be for White Bird to feel all the pain and agony he ever caused, directly and indirectly. May it kill him in the end.
Still marked Incomplete? So, will there be an Epilogue or will the story really continue?
Because, you know, this would suffice as an ending of a story. Of course, that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue it!

It was the original ending, but there is an Epilogue. I should probably type in "The End" to make it clear, but I'll be publishing the Epilogue later tonight.
Gonna have to add this to read later. I like the concept of it, just judging from the description I think it will be good.
Needs a sequel man. Please?

Way ahead of you.

Great ending!
2173893 Thank you very much.
How is this story not more popular? Do people really get that butthurt when stories have alicorns?
Shit Just got real.
Spade is the biggest bitch ever.
This story is freaking epic. I patiently await the sequel!

I know it's been over two years (being jaded, I sort of went into exile from this site), but thank you very much. It's the lack of attention that made me abandon the project. The sequel (Chariots of Chaos) was started of course, but I became so disillusioned that every moment I worked on it felt like a moment wasted, a moment unappreciated. For that I'm sorry to you personally. Your earlier comment about people being butthurt about alicorns is definitely warranted, since the one down-vote on the story came not moments after I published the chapter where that was revealed.
Thank you so much for your comments. Certainly I could have used more people like you back when I was writing, but I'm glad—in the least—to have visited the site today on a whim and seen your appreciation. It means more than the world to me.
