First of all, I would like to thank all the readers that followed up on the story. Without you guys, this wouldn't have been emblazoned in the Feature Box 4-5 times! I owe each and every one of you a hug! (and a miniscule portion of my soul).
And if you're wondering, Flux's speech at the epilogue was by Walt Whitman. One of my fave American poets.
I would also like to thank KommandoLando for his story "Without Question" being one of two inspirations for the story (I was inspired by his story image and elements of over-description), and Niaeruzu for "My Little Changeling: Friendship is Wierd" (It supplied the idea for a deeper look into Changeling culture). And Nyerguds, thanks for editing! (Otherwise known as the person the wrote "Flitter", another imperative inspiration.)
Oh, and almost forgot! If you have any questions for me (For the Q&A) I'll answer them below.
Ask me anything! What my next stories will be about, what my favorite pony is, who's best filly, personal questions, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! (Just know that I will have the right to ignore some questions if they're too...private).
Oh! And join this group. I'm sure that all of you hate this guy as much as I do!
It was a little inside joke some fellow writers had during a Google Docs session...
And if you haven't already, please consider watching me if you enjoyed this story fairly. I have much more in store for you all...
Have a wonderful day, my fellow bronies (and pegasisters)!
well, that was a pretty good story.
So, what now?
Oh hello there, i believe that this is now a sad time, for MY LITTLE BEHEMOTH IS OVER

Just waiting for another great and original story like that one, or maybe sequel ? :D
Fantastic. I look forward to reading more of Cyr's adventures! I have one question, though it may have been asked already: is Cyr names after Louis Cyr, the French-Canadian strongman?
May I ask how you got the names of the Changling characters? It's OK if you don't know, the imagination can be one heck of a maze
1910327
Yes it is a reference to him!
Kinda wanted to hide it with Cyr's full name: Cyrilius.
But glad you caught the reference!
1910197
I highly doubt our view on Cyr's antics are over.
1910331
Cyr (Cyrilius) is something of my own creation, but references the French-Canadian strongman of yore, Louis Cyr.
Saifra is a variation of a, I believe, similar Egyptian/Arabic/African name that has something to do with fertility or childhood.
Talc is...well a mineable substance, and very down to earth, so talc is Talc.
Flux is something I came up with randomly. Seemed pretty well fitting.
Coda (Carrot Top's and Noteworthy's filly) is a musical term for the end of a song ( I think). It's a reference to Noteworthy's cutie mark.
1910336 I'm glad that you're glad! It's always nice as a writer when someone catches the obscure reference that you've worked into your story, eh? Although, as a Canadian with a love of history who read obsessively as a child, I would have been a little ashamed of myself had I not caught it.
1910402
Glad to see more Canadian bretheren here.
I'm actually a Canadian citizen! (Sad to say that I don't live up North any longer. Shame. It was the nicest place I've been on Earth)
Are you planning on making a sequel
1910412 Woot! Canadian Brohoof!
I have to agree with you on the most beautiful place point: I'm hoping to get hired by the RCMP after I graduate, especially since you basically get paid to leave your home province and see another part of Canada. Considering how beautiful what I've seen of Ontario has been, I can't wait to see the rest.
Yeah, that was a nice story, even without shipping. It's good to hear he'll be a Behemoth again. Will wait for a sequel, please post a link to if (if you'll even write one) as a chapter here so all fans would know it.
OOHH AUTHOR!!! Since Chrysalis has had alotta time to take her behemoth-ification spell further, as you wrote in these last chapters, could Cyr have big big wings or something? ... that sounded better in my head, to be honest.
Hee. I'm honoured to be mentioned. But only semi-honoured apparently, since you didn't bother making my name a link
And ooh, there's an anti-Kishin group? I might join that! That sneaky bastard clearly ripped off the end of my story!
1910473
I doubt they'd be able to lift him anyway...
1910435
Ah, I'm an old Windsor boy. Glad to see you got to see some of my province. Tell me, did you enjoy the forests?
1910475
It was quick editing, sorry, and Flitter already got you plenty of watches.
Save the publicity for the rest of us!
I only kid. And yes. This Kishin individual is quite asocial. Hoping to get his ass banned!
1910491
Yeah... I keep wondering if all those people watching me actually expect me to post anything new... besides silly blogs, that is.
...I don't even post blogs, really
I require a portion of your soul nap :) none the less a good story (Will there ver be a sequel or continuation when you have free time?)
1910499
Get back into writing man!
We need a break from your Grammar Nazism!
And plus you write beautifully!
1910500
I've been thinking of making an indirect sequel (with regular Changelings, but its a multitude of year after Cyr made the treaty, and Changelings are pretty much integrated into Pony society)
1910507
*looks up at the list of corrections he just posted for ch18*
No, you clearly don't. In fact, you could do with a bit more
Silliness aside, here's some sneaky insider's info: I have a single page with a scene for a potential prequel for Flitter on my disk. There's no telling if it'll actually grow into something more, though. At the moment it's a lot of d'awws without much point (Flitter 'meeting' Blueprint just after he's born), but who knows...
1910530
Oh come on!
It was 4000 words!
What… Shall be in the sequel?
And could we make suggestions?
1910542
Expect violence, Griffin Mafias, and ship with OC.
sequel?
1910478 Yes I have. I especially liked the area between Kingston and Ottawa.
1910548 Yes, but you have been thinking.
I WANT CONFIRMATION DANGIT!
1910556
I have the story ready, but unpublished. I barely have a chapter finished
And I also have the Trixie fic and collab to work on (The Trixie fic will tie in with the sequel).
...Don't hurt me
1910566
I AM NOT WORTHY!
1909682
Depending, would you say the hole in his chest, and the derivative fully-visible heart, is anatomically fascinating? </rhetoric>
'Twas good, sir. 'Twas very good.
Oh, FINALLY! I was looking all over for this again. Now I can finish.
This was awesome.
You're awesome.
Because awesome.
bakerthebrand.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/starwar.jpg
(On a side note, every time Cyr called Carrot Top CT, I thought of Connie from red vs blue. Just sayin')
So, how will you be sending me the miniscule portion of your soul that's been promised? Will I need to pay the postage myself?
Oh, and good job in the story. Just a shame it's over really, I love seeing other peoples' takes on Changeling culture.
1911002
About the CT part...
And thank you! I didn't know I was awesome!
1911061
Thank you!
1910783
Please elaborate. When did he say not to use the "permutations"?
1907306
My reactions in this order:
We shall spawn warriors.
1911209
Huh?
1910473
Sure...if you want him to be a Gary Stu alicorn....
Oh the rage that will result from it.
1911348
You know...
I could just not continue this...
...I've watched this since chapter five, and now that it's come to a close, I'm finally going to say...
THAT WAS ONE OF THE TOP TEN BEST CHANGELING STORIES I'VE EVER READ
1911399
Thank you!
You honor me with your fancy titles!
1911261 nyahahaa (ノಠωಠ)ノ*:・゚✧*:・゚✧・
1911404
Heh. Well, you deserve the praise, my friend. You told a great tale of Changelings; a personal favorite race, and did so in a way that made me think of Cyr as one of the more unique Changeling OCs I've seen in a good, long while.
That being said; I'll be watching this for that sequel.
1911631
The underlined questions above will be answered:
I'm currently writing 3 fics: a Trixie/gryphon/trottingham fic, a crossover collab with mucho references and cameos (I'm not telling what crossover it is. Let's just say its of an FPS with a storyline I admire since the Campaign is the main aspect of it, the third to the series is coming out this year, and there isn't one on this site), and I'm currently in the developmental stages of writing the sequel of MLB that won't really be the sequel (sorry guys, but I'm out of imaginative juices from the Behemoth fic. No more Behemoth, or I kill my own original idea. Give me time.)
And best pony is a mix-up really. Best Mane 6 is Appleja- HA! Fooled ya! She's only my third favorite! Favorite Mane 6 is Twilight, and second is Pinkie Pie The rest are all in the 4th category because nopony likes to be last, and I hate the number 5.
Fave background pony is Roseluck.
Fave Pony of all time is Trixie.
Favorite Changeling...actually I don't know...Chrysalis with a ponytail? So much more sexy than regular Chrysalis
And there we go!
1911998
There will be shipping in my future story(ies).
But it makes me crazy to see how many stories depend on it to have substance, if you know what I mean.
Oh dear Primus this NEEDS a sequel.
Are you Darth Vader?
