This story is a sequel to Imbalanced: New Age
WT-FEATURED? 2.3.2020 (How did that happen?)
War is raging on the continent of Zebrica where a new warlord has risen, using immensely powerful magic to subjugate clans and countries.
In Equestria, conspiracies tying princess Celestia to Corrupted are running rampant, princess Luna is investigating an ancient alicorn legacy pertaining to entities called only 'the enemy' and 'the herald', and princess Twilight Sparkle is trying to keep Equestria together despite the rising panic.
In the Griffon Empire, both Black Ops and Imperial armies are in a losing battle against spreading Corrupted territories transforming the land.
And knowing nothing about any of that, there's Harriet, a young dragonpony in the Griffon Empire whose life is about to be shattered by a group of ponies seeking something from her father's hoard that would make all the previous threats to peace a small beer.
UPDATES: Hopefully monthly.
EDIT: Added AU tag, since this takes place some three hundred years (give or take) after Twilight's alipopcornification.
This is a REALLY good intro for the next story. Its consistent with what has happened while simultaneously allowing new readers to know there are other stories and the major plot points which had happened before.
This might need an AU tag, since the griffons don't have an empire in canon

There isn't really much known about the world outside of the little map of Equestria, but true. At this point in the storyline I guess I should add the AU tag.

I tried it with New Age, which worked rather... poorly, but I want this one to be readable on its own as well as the finale of Imbalanced.
I'm surprised that no one has yet to mention the "Harriet wows revenge". Normally I ignore these minor errors, but it's part of your short summary.

Woow, I completely missed that. Pun intended,
Fixed, thanks.
And the reason is simple, there's like negative six people reading it.
I actually really like this story for one that I randomly clicked on to see. For me the pace of the character development sometimes becomes desynchronised with the pace of the plot, like the change in Harriet's take to her body and her moving across the world. Still thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the next chapter!
Btw is the universe this story is set in new, or is this just a continuation?

It'S my Imbalanced universe (check profile page for contents), but I intend this one to be readable on its own to a degree. If this is your first book and you know nothing about the world, don't worry about that. If you want to learn more while waiting for updates, there's a lot of surrounding lore.
Anyway, the plot still hasn't moved anywhere, and Harriet still thinks she's ugly but now knows there are some crazy guys around who might be into it :D
9248327
Good to know, I'll check them out now!
Also I would definitely include myself with those crazy guys ;)
So now there are three instances of Blazing Light? Our Blazing Light is from another world, who killed this world’s Blazing Light and then died to Nightmare, who summons another Blazing Light from yet another world?
Also, Cromach becoming a pool noodle explains his portion from the last chapter. The trio are almost back, just need to pull Joy from that orgy pile now.
In a volcano.
Probably Mistake.
10 seconds because this is MLP.
9327773
Technically there's ony one instance of Blazing, and that's the one NM pulled out of her ass for fun.
Wait, magic nullefying, true dead, slashes that take away magic. If this is who I think I can only say that there is no rest even in death.
9234569
I disagree. it is negative seven now.
9428641
One day, we might reach the fabled heights of two and a half reader.
9428468
Flow doesn't use true death. What he actually does is very different from draining magic.
Yeesssssssssss
9431975
No.
Okay.
Maybe?
It took a while. Changelings are too much of my time.
They'Re cuddlier.
What happened to the original realm that Blaze came from?
9460887
Who knows? Sombra and Scream died in the Crystal Heart explosion, Void was released from Tartarus, and the balance between gods didn't get ruined by Blaze. I guess it's doing fine.
It has been almost a month since the last update.
9535140
Calendar conspiracy.
A bit strange to see this word. Most brony using "dracony".
I don't think future is counting as AU.
And didn't others had this tag?
Blaze?
I
almostsee what you did here.I don't want to meet this girl...
Or I want... I can't tell.
I thought only Corruptors had that much problems with heights, others takes it a bit easier.
9647640
- I've never used dracony. For me, it's dragonpony or a dracon (from Wizardry series).
- A while ago, few ppl started hardcore bothering me with AU tag on some stories, and I got tired of explaining what the AU tag is for, so I slapped it on to shut them up.
9649218
[poiler]You thought I would spoil who the baddie is this early?
9649383
- Yay.
- I think Harriet is sweet.
- All of them get screwed, but Corruptors take it the worst, true. You gotta realize that the mercenaries aren't overly experienced with Corrupted, at least not on the level of Twilight and her analysis.
9649630
-Ok, i will call it Mistake.
-I based mostly on Blaze's and Corrupted... experience. But I see.
Hi Bucket.
Hm... Such a little threatment, since he supposed to have magical time-screwing sword and be a Corrupted with Corrupted "bodysuit".
I thought you said in comment somewhere he can't use true death...
I was sure it will be it.
Heavy?
Oh, so Buket can change his
bodiesplatforms now? Kinda reminds me Ultron.Oh no, it's Noodle Monster! Equestria are doomed!
Another draconequus? Interesting.
I thought it's Nightmare using Discord's soul or something like that, but... Blaze?
Who the hell are you?!
Oh...
Ah, Cromach.
Looks like important artifact.
9649774
- I didn't say Nicolai still had Suitie on him, did I?
No, seriously, did I? Because if I did... that's bad. Like unpublishing the story for plot holes bad.
- No one says Bucket is right.
- It's a white robe, not the recipe for secret herbs and spices mixture that KFC uses.
- Nope. Heavy is working for Bucket.
- Bucket has a lot of money, knowledge, and contacts. He got upgrades. Still no jetpack, though.
9649814
- Chaos noodle!
- Not really.
- None of those, or is it?
- A chaos noodle!
9649853
Plot dickens.
9649885
- Funny how people recall the axe and lightning before the color scheme.
- Totally! Such artefact! Much import!
9650327
In what I did read for this time didn't.
When Bladedancer was mentioned is looks familiar the first I was thinking is Silver Sun.
Completely white with glowing green eyes without pupils... Yeah, you will definitely think about certain character...
-Let them come! Frostmourne hungers!
Hey, I know you!
And where did you get it?
Wait, time inside must runs slower, why it's looks like it's runs faster?
FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR!
9651024
- Oof!
- Well yeah, but she can simply be wrong.
9651063
- That joke was supposed to be there eventually.
9651106
- Just a random hippogriff mercenary.
9651125
- Nightmare DID mess with him at the end of New Age.
9651262
- It runs in whatever way the owner wants it if they're powerful enough to control it. Since neither Joy nor Scream are there right now, it acts strange.
- Yep, she survived everything.
9651524
She stole somepony's sweet roll, I know it!
But replacing his nightmare powers on discord powers... still strange for me.
9651546
Girl just wants to have fu-uuuun.
This is amazing! I cant wait to see this story progress more.
9696215
Wait, really? Harriet's part seemed dry even to me, an I wrote it.
...
Oh...
And I alway imagine her with with werd alicorn-like thing as mane...
9696298
Blaze didn't start to saving wolds right away
9701442
Hello! On her case more like "Hisss, blrlglb!"
9701491
Nope, bald an scaly, or some tentacle dreadlocks, depending on the mood. Considering she can change shape pretty much at will, it doesn't really matter. She would have tried various styles over the years.
9701493
Well, even mundane things can be written well, and even epic scenes can feel dry and emotionless. But hey, it doesn't matter what I feel from it, if others like it, that's what really matters. I have a tendency to be overly critical.
9701546
Like this?

9701569
Yes, but much better looking (since Corrupted are super seductive to all senses), more slick, and in one long braid :D
It took me awhile to read all of your imbalanced series. I got to say that I love every chapter so far.
9705948
Oh god, why did you do that to yourself?
So, just to make sure, the original Blaze got erased from existence by Nightmare? It doesn't really specify what happens to him at the end.
9742463
That's how it looked, definitely. Specifically, as if dragged under the surface of pitch black ink, and no one has seen him since.
Now, answering that clearly would ruin so many fun theories about what's going on.
Gryphon technology?
Well, that will not ends well. Or maybe will, but the process will be difficult.
