Not the bad kind, just, I play the game by my own rules.Huzzah for fun! (I'm trying to bring "Huzzah" back)
When something from Fluttershy's past comes back to haunt her, she ends up running away, and it's up to the others to figure out what happened. Will Rainbow open up about what she knows? Will Fluttershy solve her problems? Will Twilight succumb to the temptations of dark magic?
First "book" of The Saga of The Beast.
To those of you wondering who the "bad guys" or "good guys" are, there are none. When I write, I try to make sure everyone is doing the right thing (in their own eyes, at least), because there are no people who think of themselves as evil, except in hindsight. That's one of the things I try to reflect in my stories, so please, don't say "But I thought they were supposed to be evil", because they aren't. Not even the main antagonist is evil in this, and she even gets highlighted as a good person many times.
Just remember, evil is never a state of mind, but a difference of opinion.

did I make it any better for you guys?
So far so good. Can't wait for more.
Oh man, this plot....it'sdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Octavia_plot.png , oh not THAT Plot, this story it's making me think in thousands of directions at once (Not in bad way might I mention), And wow, when she said "She" is out, and then when you put together Flutters hearing the story from the Gryphon abou finding immortality and and those magically infused Gems, wow it makes you think of things that'll happen, but still I wonder if the "Stare" can go in any of this?dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Fluttershy_umad.png
1409803 woah, woah, woah. That comment went faster than RD on speed. Can you slow that down for me? I'd like to understand my criticism/compliment, and I can't tell which it is! That might just be because of the time though...

Trust me, it's not criticism, it's a compliment, It's just that you had me so intrigued on what could all happen that I'm thinking of virtually thousands of possibilities, and sorry for the lack of grammar on that comment, I've been typing fast because I'm typing to so many people whom stories I'm reviewing and all, and it's seems that all their plots are thickening so..yea, anyways I like how this story is progressing and sry for being a little unclear on the subject of my comments.
1409902 It's no problem. I know the feeling. Thanks for the input though. Part of the reason might be because this was going to be the ending for the first portion. I haven't really planned as far ahead as I would've liked, but I know the next few chapters, so that's good. Right?

I'm always going along on the Authors whim, and it's your story, I mean, many people come up with a story on a pace that their familiar with and I'd like for you to do the same.
Perfect!

1409961 D'awwww, shucks.
Wow this is getting serious fast.
Just wanted to let you know that I've started reading, and I am enjoying so far.
My only things as of now (and this might just be a matter of choices) but while I'm glad you have some formatting, I'd probably prefer a bit more space between the dialogue, just so it doesn't look as scrunched. But you know, it could just be me.
I do like your descriptions so far, those I find trickier to write.
So we have some mysterious circumstances. You have caught my curiosity.
Interesting!
Ohhhh....I see.
Thank you for using my name suggestion!
Awaiting further releases.
Oooooh, like how this is going
1450861 Like I said in my blog, it's gonna be a good two weeks before I post anything, because A) I want to keep to an update schedule this time and B) I feel like I didn't put enough effort into planning the first part.
I hope that doesn't make you hate me too much.
(Also, it's my personal goal to get into the feature box this time. Wanna help me out with that?)

That's okay.
I see..
I'll do everything to the extent of my prowess to help you by reading on and commenting and what not.
Loved it had great detail and i loved the story line!
Batmane made me lol. I bet he does go through a lot of capes.
1488755 Whew. So I take it the cameo-removal went well? Should I expand upon it at all?
By the way, sequel progress is an estimated 23% done with writing, and 11% done overall. Expected air date is still the expected air date
I'll stop here to say that yes, I am reading, but I will save my thoughts for when I finish (hopefully sometime tomorrow!). See you then!
1549718 Why do they not have a squee face on here. I need a squee face!
Not bad, actually.
You were right, this original concept is very interesting. I'm not quite sure why Fluttershy would run away from her friends considering how loving and kind she is, but that's the draw of the story! I'll let you know my thoughts as I find more time to read.
1688178 Believe me, you'll never see it coming. You'll know it at the end, but even then you'll deny it. That little voice at the back of your head will say, "there's no way he's implying that!", but in the end, you will know. The wierdest part is, I know this is an original concept, because it's a self insert. I AM Fluttershy in this. This is a worst-case scenario for me (if I was in equestria, that is). I gave her exactly my history up until flight school, and from there she took a much different route than I did. My experience made me bolder; the same one made her a shy shell of her former self. Funny how one thing can pivot your view of life.
1506462 1549718 So did you ever finish? You never got back to me.
You got me hooked with "there are no people who think of themselves as evil, except in hindsight". Reading this.
WOW...THE DARKNESS...THE DARKNESS !!!!! It sounds like fluttershy was a victim of domestic abuse. She is terrified of her mother. What are her intentions toward fluttershy now? Twilight has given herself over to a dark magic in hopes of finding fluttershy, but at what cost ?
TWILIGHT HAVE YOU NOT LEARNED ANYTHING ABOUT ASKING ROYALTY THEY DONT DO ANYTHING!!
WHO IS THIS BEAST?!I WILL CRUSH THIS BEAST AND HAVE IT AS A RUG IF IT THINKS THAT IT CAN HURT FLUTTERSHY!!
