"That Celestia was actively ignoring threats, threats which actually put millions of lives at risk, to give her student challenges to overcome." Zecora explained in response.

This is why Celestia you don't have 6 untrained people to do the threats that pop up and use your guards for this shit.

Wow this is a good chapter and the last line was chilling.

Or put all trust in some magical artifact set, that is useless if even one part of it is out the game. Even magic can fail.

So that is the key difference. Anyway, great chapter. I loved how Blueblood's attitude is explained. I feel for Thorax. I hope that he can recover and maybe this will help Spike bond with the two.

its funny, the ponies can easily tell spike is influenced by dark magic but dragons are so naturally dicks that they think spike is just being a real dragon

It's fucking amazing how in a single paragraph you manage to give Blueblood more character than the actual show in 9 seasons.

Why thank you ^^

Yay Blueblood is not an ass and Zacora reaction as to why she's not rhyming was funny.
