As she walks through the disheveled streets

As she walked through the disheveled streets

Awesome chapter!

Ah so we get to the crux of the issue, she thinks he took the bell and is now possessed by the old Goat. The logic is faulty though, it was a phylactery, it housed the soul of Grogar and made him immortal, but that also means it could possess a host and yet he is not possessed, those abominations imprint on the host and she would have seen it almost instantly in that case.

If he did take it then he likely destroyed it in the ritual he did, killing Grogars soul and gaining the power untainted.

I can guess what is going to happen next and why He hates her even a thousand years later, her own hastiness turned him against her and in the end cost them a budding friendship that could have seen Equestria prosper under her rule.

I Think he has honestly found love and at the same time is trying to throw Celestia a olive branch, he is herding with three of the Elements and that alone proves he has nothing of Grogar in him as I doubt a Lich of such evil could be around so my hormonic energy.

If that is his side motive then I honestly hope she takes the Branch, though if anything is to go by I suspect she will either forcefully break up the Herding, not bless the Hersing or just outright Brainwash the three and try to banish him.

I didn’t thought it was possible, but I somehow love it even more. I can’t wait to see where you take the story next.
PD: great jobs on the flashbacks, most times I dislike them due to their length and inactivity in the present story but you did them short, to the point and full of action. They where really entertaining.

What makes this simply beautiful is the fact that in Celestias own need to be right she doesn't cares who she's wrongs

Thank you all and I myself am excited of the coming events.

Yep I love this writing style so very much

Mmm.... Fair enough. Honestly if it took you three months, even a year, that'd be fine also. I get that the current global situation sucks, and that life in general happens. It just really bugs me when people post a "I promise I'll be back/update by x", giving a specific date/timeframe, and then don't stick to it.

You know how the universe is a hologram and reality an illusion? Good cause you got reviewed!

Hey Mate how you doing, I’ve notice you haven’t posted anything in a while, how the quarantine treating you? You good?

All is well for the most part. I'm a dealer in Las Vegas and the current events are taking president over writing, unfortunately. But all will be well in time. Financial concerns and civil unrest aside, I thank you for your patience and considerations. To you and the rest of my readers, my sincerest gratitude is given. Corruption will continue when next I have the opportunity. For you as well as my own sanity. I find writing to be quite cathartic and not doing so to be stressfull and irritating.

really great story so far will give it a thumbs up and 4 dinosaur stickers would have been given golden stars but was both out and they did not have any for sale it was that or flowers but hey dinosaur stickers, who does not like dinosaurs... anyway Celestia needs to chill she has never even tried to understand who he is and only seen him for the magic he holds, that is also artificial so of course, it would feel dead like anything that is artificial. I am happy for pinkie pie and the other two hope their ship does not sink relationship stays strong.
would have given you 5 dinosaur stickers but a little too much flashback at the end may change for future chapters, may also change stickers as I may run out of them and have to get new once.

So you fixated on the fact that I said readers don't like being confused, and gloss over all my other points. You're also being pretty condescending in your tone, but I'll let that slide.

I'll also move on and just not read your work, since you're not going to fix it, since you're apparently not interested in getting better at your hobby.
There's nothing wrong with doing something you enjoy. Your work is still great because you like writing it, I'm just sorry to hear you're not interested in improving.

This is a method of keeping track of my progression. I have vastly improved since the beginning chapter was released but you wouldn't know that. Nor will you with your condescension. I will not mind one wit if you never read one of my works again. Do have a wonderful day.

welp it's been eight months with no update so story removed from lists and downvote given.

May you lead an interesting life my fellow.

Well, despite the difficulties in how it reads, there's a solid story here. If anyone was having doubts as to whether it's worth a read despite some of its issues - it is. At least, if you like this sort of stories and characters. ;)

Maybe it's the human in me, but all I see so far is an "industrial vigilante" of sorts, a man with no scrupules against those who, in turn, had none against their own - using the powers of the free market and his considerable wealth to divest those of their influence, and eventually their livelihood. Andrew Ryan comes to mind, of the Bioshock fame - only more ruthless. If you show that you cannot be responsible for those under you, that you cannot show at least a passing consideration for them even - you prove yourself to be corrupt, and shall be visited by true corruption.

His only sin, so far, seems to be that he prefers to deal with those he defeats with their own methods and means, and not those preferred by Celestia. And I'm aware that in many a setting, that alone is indeed enough to make him an enemy - not officially, of course, but an enemy nevertheless. In a way, you could say that he sees the world as it is, rather than how Celestia would like it to be - and operates accordingly, punishing those that would do ill by, as the saying goes, handing them enough rope to hang themselves with.

Has a nice Boondock Saints ring to it, I guess: "We urge you lesser forms of filth, not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain."

I must admit, I approve.

And I have a strong feeling that so will Luna. It may not be as direct as she might otherwise prefer, but the end result is clear enough: those that would stand against their fellows, shall meet their ends by their very own deeds. I have a feeling that that particular sentiment is dear to Luna's heart, and she will see the poetry and elegance of his approach. And most importantly, his way can strike at filth that she can never reach, not in the modern society.

Of course, this carries risks. He's become influential enough, powerful enough, that should he ever turn to darker deeds, few would oppose him (or even be capable of opposition). It's quickly becoming a matter of trust, and that is very evidently in short supply. And the best (worst?) part of it is - both his approach, and Celestia's, have strong merits of their own, which makes this a true dramatic conflict. (To which I would say: Why not both? Let him be the stick to Celestia's carrot! There are ways to ensure that following your contract is the best course of action in spite of - or perhaps due to - such lack of trust. Employ your mutual mistrust to the betterment of everyone, indeed.)

I will admit - as much as I dread having to "decipher" the story from this writing style - I'm looking forward to what else will follow. You had my curiosity, Author - now you have my attention.

Also, dear Author, please don't curse your readers (though, admittedly, perhaps ex-readers is more appropriate). It's unbecoming. ;)
Though I will admit that it's very British of you. At least it nets you points for style, if nothing else.

His this history dead??

I hope your life calms down soon and you can continue, in case you can't, for H or for B, I want you to know that I loved your fic until that moment hahaha, that said, I know you have not abandoned, it is only for Don't feel the pressure to write, I'm sure that when you have time and your life in order, the chapters will be amazing!

Please keep it up I can’t wait to see what is next and it’s great to hear this is not dead I can’t wait for everything to get better man Covid Really sucks

Isn't Grogar a ram and not a goat?

It's a derogatory term, Celestia wasn't too awfully fond of him.
