Twilight Sparkle finds herself disenchanted, having delved into all the knowledge the ponies of Equestria have to offer her, but finding it lacking. In her despair, a spirit calling itself Mephistopheles appears before her offering her all the knowledge of her world, wanting nothing in exchange.

Remember reading this on EqD a while back. Really enjoyed it, just a shame it's on hiatus. What's up with that?

how'd you make those symbols for the chapter titles?

... okay so the story goes like this im guessing
a being from a higher plain has given twilight basically the knowledge of everything and twilight is trying to teach everything to the colts and fillies and Luna had doubts so twilight removed her from the picture and is on the verge of making everything perfect
if thats so then the question is
why was Luna having doubts?

yay! this is here... :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile::rainbowkiss::raritystarry::flutterrage::ajsmug:

They are alt characters made by pressing alt + a series of numbers.

I just wish to ask...
The mumblings that Twilight was doing while she was asleep for the week, were they by any chance inspired by the hybred Cylons that controlled the functioning of the Cylon basestars in Battlestar Galactica? Or more like Starbuck's husband after he had been shot, and hooked up to the Galactica?

Sorry if that seems random, but that is exactly what I thought of while I was reading this.

Writer's block, which led me to move on to other projects for a while. There is an extra chapter here that I hadn't previously released anywhere.

Nope.

This might just be the single most amazing MLP fanfic I've ever read. And I've been lurking here since the site appeared.

Here's to hoping the hiatus isn't going to end up permanent, it would be a bona-fide tragedy if this didn't continue! :fluttershysad:

Can't wait for more! The way you retell the episodes is amazing!

/reads everything

/flips table

10 bucking weeks. Hurry your fat flank up!

Incredibly good I have read every chapter and am disgusted that it has so few likes and views this is without a doubt one of the best fics I have read in a long time. It details the evolution of new equestria and I like twilight like this you get across proper emotion and feelings and that is a rare sight in this fandom. Keep up the hard work and know that I am a loyal reader

“Nothing. It’s all yours. Do with it what you want. I have faith in you and your species.”

A brilliant plan that cannot possibly go wrong.

This is such a good story...

yay! an update... :twilightsmile:

This is good.
Damn good!

I like it.

YEY! NO MORE RULES!:pinkiecrazy:

time for some more science:twilightsmile:

another interesting chapter:twilightsmile:

I love it when this story updates. It just keeps getting better and better.

...so, it has been more than half a year ago since I read this.

Now I need to re-read everything.
Challenge accepted.

50k words in a fic that relates to Faustes? I'm dissapointed...

I kid, this idea is genius, and I will plug it and spread it to the best of my ability

Man, it's like watching a train crash in slow motion. Hopefully the ending isn't too tragic. :twilightoops:

...why would anypony care how many barns she raised?

...And break out in song at every one of them....

EPIC :rainbowlaugh:

....why do I have a strange feeling that this will end with applejack as mayor of ponyville and twilight as ruler of the world?:rainbowhuh:



either way.......:twilightsmile:I LOVE THIS FIC!:twilightsmile:

Sorry, but shouldn't this make an alternate universe tag?

Ah, without Twilight's help the public's demeanor did not change towards Luna. Sorry, but you should consider adding AU.

Hm, the thought is rather interesting. Although, I do like it, perhaps you could give insight not on mainly Twilight, but perhaps insight from her friends? Considering Pinkie Pie, I would have thought her to have appeared a few times and could be placed well as comical relief. Fluttershy would be one to notice most of the dangers of Twilight's works, or perhaps not. Rainbow Dash could be included from time to time, requesting that Twilight no longer stays in the confines of her work most of the time. And, perhaps Rarity would be worried but not wishing to interrupt Twilight's progress.

Although I'm not asking for a third person omniscient perspective, I would like to see perhaps more character perspectives. Of course, it's only an idea.

"Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing." - George Orwell :twilightsheepish:

Twilight's explanation of the solar system's movement made me curious. Has anyone ever considered the idea that be Princesses don't move the Sun and Moon, but the planet instead? Or was there something in the show that makes that line of questioning pointless?

2631990

The historical arguments for Geocentrism work doubly well for Equestria from what we've seen of the show. If it was the Earth moving, why don't they feel it? We don't feel it because it moves at a fairly constant rate and we're moving with it, but if it were to suddenly stop, like when Nightmare Moon kept the Sun from coming out in the first two episodes, everybody on the planet would have been flung into space. And when Discord was loose and made the sun and moon switch within the span of a few seconds, it would have been felt if it was just the Earth spinning faster.

These arguments would be seen as obvious to people in Equestria, so I made even the "historical" model Twilight talks about be geocentric with a stationary Earth. It would take a lot of evidence to convince anybody of anything else there, evidence which we don't have from the show.

It's kind of funny how certain things from the regular show still happen despite the change, but just turn out so differently. Luna still went to Nightmare Night, but because Twilight didn't help her make friends, she became even more embittered and aloof, and ended up losing her title because of it.

That last bit of this chapter? Summed up in two words.

"Oh, fuck."

Shit gunna be going DOWN.

Ok... I have only now just finished Ch 12... but...

HOLY FUCK!!!!!:rainbowderp:

I sense some powerful shit coming up... :rainbowderp:

I have noticed that it could use some editing. I have seen a few spelling and grammatical errors here and there. If you like, I would be willing to help in that matter. :twilightsmile:

*goes back to reading* :moustache:

So is this dead? If so I'm sad to hear it, it's one of the better written stories I've followed. Interesting premise that set it apart and how Twilight has changed because of it.

one hundred by one hundred acres

Acres are already a unit of area, so it should only be 100 acres.
