To be human is to be resourceful. For Saul this must hold true like never before. Alone in a land of warlike unicorns in an age beyond Equestria and devoid of harmony, Saul must make a life for himself in a world of mares, blood and cold iron. (RGRE)

Thank you! I'm super happy you're enjoying my work! π

Heheheh I'm glad you caught that one! There's bits and pieces like that sprinkled here and there. It's always a joy when they're seen. π

Roll credits hahaha π

He's an OC! Though I've drawn inspiration from one genre in particular. π
10920698
I'm very happy you're enjoying it! The mystery will be explored further! π
10920752
I'll look into it ASAP! Thanks for pointing it out!
Thank you to everyone who's taken the time to comment! I read all of 'em and they each make my day when I get the notification. We thanks you forever! π
Oh goody crazed monarchs. Lets kill her.
ut oh

Usually they live as long as it is fits the nobles.
I'm imagining Saul grabbing an axe and casually tossing into in our red princesses head, splitting it two from horn to cortex.
I already don't like her. She's very much in-bucking-sane.
You keep using that word. I do not believe it means what you think it does.
10922108
She means her fun. Doesn't matter if everyone else gets screwed.
10921888
YES! A Author after my own heart.
What's the fun of reading if the writer answers all the questions. I kind of wish more writers thought that way.

thanks for the hiatus heads up
Once again I am refueled and rejuvenated by the update of this story. Seems Saul will have a chance to stretch his legs.. I am looking forward to when the romance starts to come into play, maybe with our lovable priestess, or hardy barbarian? Mayhaps Both?
Human interacting with pony, check. Humanity fuck yeah! Check. RGRE, check. Interesting new and exciting setting, check. Worldbuilding, check. Adorable, check. Cultural clash, triple check, une for each tribe...
Uh oh... someone put in the cooking pot some of my favorite things and made a story. I'll stick around to see what comes out of this.
Also, I remember estimating the size of a FIM pony and based on a couple of things and comparing with other people who took it seriously (as seriously as someone might be able to take a cartoon anyways...) and it was... kind of like that, around 1/3 to 1/2 of a human's height. Ponies in your story being in the tiny side will make the human look terrifying. I would say that this has a OP human character aftertaste, but much of that comes from the ponies' perceptions and fears, so... It kind of looks okay given the circumstances.
Ironically SaΓΊl is the only character I don't like. Seems more like the larger-than-life protagonist of an epic mythic tale than an actual human being in his circunstances. Everyony and everything else is far better depicted.
He could use a paper airplane to explain the concept of heavier than air flight if only they had invented paper. lots of interesting conundrums here
Oh, so you're doing uploads a-la SU's Steven Bomb method? Seaborn Bomb, if you will.
This is awesomeness
Now about chapter 4,
I encourage anyone who has forgotten it, to read the fable, "The Sword of Damocles." because it states the true danger that all rulers face every day. Even more so, an evil one. In this scene, in chapter 4, there is a room full of troops, armed to the teeth and waiting for orders. Yet not a single one loves their ruler. Not a single one would lift a finger if they found her drowning in a pool. What's even more interesting, if they knew for a fact she would die, not a single one would stop him if he were to saunter over and casually break her neck.
But that's where human nature kicks in. They aren't sure. There is a doubt, and should she live ... well, you know the rest.
And that's why she is safe. For the moment.
Terry Pratchett in his "Witch novels" described crowns and how they pass from owner to owner on a river of blood. Few monarchs through history died peaceful deaths. Many of those that history recorded as natural, in truth, really were not.

Welp, since you seem to have a specific genre you are basing saul out of, mind sharing so I can expand my pool of things to read too much of?
10922257
Guess we'll have to wait and see!
10922626
Glad you're enjoying it!

You bet! It's a lot easier on my nerves to write an act fully before posting. Otherwise I can't start on the next chapter with an easy mind until I see that the last one did well. It's also better for the story to have a lot of visibility over one whole week of daily updates, I think!
10922818
The nature of the Mournful Sea will be further explored in consequent chapters!
10923462
Very much so. It'd be a great risk to take!
10924306
I'm going to put my answer in spoilers tags just to be safe, though I'm pretty sure it'll be obvious after Chapter 5... It's Robert E. Howard's 'Conan the Cimmerian' series specifically, though really it's the entire Sword and Sorcery genre. π
10922650
A fair observation! Thank you for sharing it with me. π

Refueling intensifies
*ominous cave sounds*
Must admit this work is well carved, it's words are simply FABULOUS! Can't wait to admire more of this.
Just recently discovered this fic and glad that I did. Itβs a very well written story with very interesting characters. Iβm really looking forward to reading future chapters, so hereβs hoping to see an update soon.
Do you release chapters in groups?

There will be a new update soon! Chapter 5 will be up in a relatively short while, as I'm rewriting it currently. Beyond that, updates will indeed happen in large batches of about 5 or so chapters posted daily across a week. That will take a while longer tho, since I'm currently preoccupied with university.
Thanks so much for reading and I'm glad you've enjoyed it!
10945673
Hopefully we get more world lore soon
Very good. I'll definitely be following this. Your descriptions are fantastically written
Next chapter about to be lit
Judging by the 'poshness' of the unicorns, and the fact they dump their waste into the streets, I'd say we're in a parallel 'Victorian' time. All we need now is for our princess to let them eat cake.
