I'm awake, and I don't feel like I should be. That's not going to stop me from finding out why I'm here, why I'm awake, or why these strange creatures seem to fear me so much. I'm one of them after all, why should they fear a fellow equine?

I'm beginning to wonder if you read books... or eat them.
9154144
Well.... there's a reason i have to make do with electronic reading =P
Okay at least it's somewhat consistent though why only Unicorns? I just hope the tone stays the same unlike the ties that bind that when from dark and grim to full blown SCP and I had to stop cause it lost my focus.
9154152
Damn it Discord we know it’s you! Seriously, what other eldritch beings eat books on a whim?
Goddess??? and now rarity kisses her twilight goddess. What? History can happen that too. ok, I like this chapter and waiting to know more about the story.
9154267
While i would love to take credit for other creatures work i simply can not!
Besides, everyone knows you don't eat books! You use them for hunting down moths so you can bake mothballs.
Really i do wonder how you can be so uneducated when it comes to basic confectionery knowledge, perhaps we ought to add some baking classes to your curriculum! Oh and do sit up straight will you? That posture is atrocious.
wow thats spooky

As I said before the fact that it's been only unicorns is a coincidence. There's no special reason for it. The only reason that it was Minuette, Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine in the first place was because they were literally the first ponies she ran into. Had it been any other type of pony the same thing probably would've happened.
As far as The Ties that Bind goes, I have no idea what you mean. The story isn't meant to be full on grimdark, but more of a dark fantasy. The tone isn't always going to be dark and there will be some lighter moments, but ultimately the tone will change depending on the situation. You lost me with the SCP comment though, I'm not sure what that's about.
If the unicorn thing is just a coincidence then why is Rarity the only pony (other than Pinkie) who sensed something was otherworldly with Twilight? Heck she met several dozen of the Apple clan and the only thing they seemed to note was Twilight and Spike’s conflicting/worried emotions.
9154542
She may have been the only one to such a degree, but she definitely wasn't the only one period. Some can sense the wrongness more than others. If you'll remember, it wasn't much, but AJ did feel something, while Rainbow felt nothing at all. And of course Pinkie had her own reaction just as Fluttershy will have hers.
Spike feels it, so did the first three mares she met as well as some of the others in town. There's a reason for their various reactions or lack thereof, but we haven't gotten far enough for me to reveal what it actually is yet. Though I did hint at what was part of the issue in the chapter with Celestia.
As to the four mares being changed, that was what I meant when I said it was a coincidence. Something happened, and they just happened to be the ones to get caught up in it.
9154607
Fair enough. I had just assumed that the reason for Spike’s reaction was he was worried about how different Twilight was acting, and that Applejack was just responding to the constant worry from Spike and the fact that Twilight acts at least slightly bipolar with how she keeps going between a more normal attitude and freaking out.
9154625
That's definitely part of it. You're not wrong in that assumption, but there's more to it than that is what I was getting at. I might not have made that clear enough in the story so it might be my fault, but things will start to make a bit more sense as the story goes on.
9154302
Ah ah ah! Critizing confectionary criteria completely creates crude, crappy credentials, and assuming another’s arbitrary academy? Absurd!
To end the jest I must say you’re truly a man indubitably trying his hardest. Well any Neanderthal can pick a thesaurus up from the street so I beg you good gentlemen, how would you hide a giraffe from the government? A simple question to most but the complex know so much more. Do, also capitalize your I’s. Troglodytes truly trump trying to tagmeme.
9154869
Damn! I went through the comment three times and I still missed capitalizing my I's?
This is what happens when you unfortunately haven't gone through the schooling system properly because of teachers marking you as a ''waste of time'' :/
As for trying to tagmeme? I wasn't trying to do that since i don't even know what that is. I was just trying to roll with the flow YOU started =P And no i didn't use a thesaurus for that comment, I just sat and re-read it and tried to mimic Discord as much as i could think of.
As for hiding a giraffe, obviously you just paint it green and brown and name it Tree! xD They'll never even know it's there!
9154869
Holy alliteration much
Oh god.
You is capitalized and that invokes deity imagery. Yikes.
At the very least, her good half / Twi half is freaking the heck out.
This entire fic so far is terrifying on a base, primal level.
9154869
Holy Alliteration, Batman.
Hell of a prologue I have to say.
Even though the Dead Goddess has done some horrible things so far, it's really hard to hate this being as she acted out of ignorance and was appropriately horrified when she realised what she'd actually done.
Hopefully she can continue to live her life without any more neck breacking?
So is Twilight “enlightening” them or something? Pushing them to a higher level of existence? I imagine that they aren’t using telekinesis and that in truth not only do the mares look like eldritch horrors in reality, but it’s beton what one can natural comprehend and as such they are seen as they were before. I also guess that in truth some extra tentacle-like appendage or something is actual moving the objects, but again most can’t comprehend that so they only see it as the objects floating

Pffffff kkkkkkkkkk
I hope we remain on the track of "Eldritch Abomination That Isn't Actually Evil", because I find that far more interesting to explore than the simple "eldritch things are evil, uncaring, and cruel" which we saw a little bit of in the previous chapter.
Yeah i'm out
9232593
I want to think that it is an evil eldritch horror that is corrupted by twilight
....I think I forgot to pack a few pairs of brown pants for this ride...
dis kinda reminds of the mercer virus from prototype but more mind control
Ah, the age old problem of accidentally starting a necromantic cult and not knowing what to do with all these thralls. First things first, let's be sure to outright forbid any kind of evangelism. That won't lead to any good place.
9232593
I myself think eldritch things are not evil at all. Well, in the same manner as a psychopath gouging your eye out. He doesn't know that's wrong to do to anyone and he won't really mind if someone do it to himself. May not even notice or consider as a pleasant experience. It's not like he doesn't care by choice, though. Rather, he doesn't know there is something to care about in the first place. Imagine for a moment there is nothing wrong with killing people. No repercussions, nothing at all. And you have a gun. What would you do?
This eldritch abomination end up with Twi's memories, though, and starting to realize that its behavior is wrong at SO MANY levels! Right to the point of bring horrifying of its own.
Curious.

You do realize that just because sociopaths lack empathy for other human beings, it does not mean they get off on the pain and suffering of others, right? Most would probably decline murdering someone just for the lolz, even if there wouldn't be any consequences.

If it's evil, it's not really eldritch.

KRRACK
oops
CERAK
Man it's just so

ADDICTING
BRIAN! This is an intervention, you need to stop breaking people’s necks!
Brian: What are you talking about?
CRACK!
BRIAN! YOU DID IT AGAIN!
Brian: Huh?
Brian. No- BRIAN!
CRACK!
Brian: What?
Is the Dead Goddess stuck in multiple personalities. Or is old memory of the Goddess stuck far down inside and is trying to get out. Hence the feeling of something trying to get out?
this pony needs too be purge by the god emperor of mankind him self
9201863
Agreed. At least it is freaking itself out and seems determined to stay in control and keep itself contained.
Only just finished the prologue and this is quite compelling! I guess it's that strange mix of an eldritch horror with a conscience and feelings that hooked me. I'm looking forward to seeing where this story goes.
