We all make choices. Decisions that are often thrust upon us by circumstance more often than personal desire. For Orion, his choices will lead him through the veil of our world and into the wonder of another.

Absolutely ecstatic that I checked for updates right now. Been craving another chapter for a bit now.
HAH! Go GRACE!
Also, nice to hear from you again! Each chapter has always been worth the wait.

I'm sorry! I can only write so fast and this is far more detailed than my previous work...
11534030
If only I could sit at home and write all day.
Sadly I am not that recognized in the author community, and my story is not so wide spread.
Happy to see another update.
Also, kinda happy that this story will get a new bookcover. Although, I can't say that I would not miss this one. It's just screams 'Blurring Realities', even tho its just a black and gold vortex... But still!

I know, it is endearing as it's a reminder of where I started. How I turned what was supposed to be a simple distraction from my life into a passion I had no idea I had.
Back in high school I was an artist. Not a writer.
dang, curb stomped using only the assassin's face

Was wondering when Cadence was going to arrive, her differences from the usual are definitely refreshing.
Thanks for yet another chapter in this awesome story!
I definitely wasn't expecting Cadence to be nearly as manipulative of others lives as Celestia is. I wonder how Twilight is going to react if she ever finds out just how much her and her family's lives have been twisted to fit the machinations of two mares she considers a second mother and a big sister. If she learns of this after becoming an alicorn. I'd bet that'll transform her into Midnight Sparkle.
And let's not forget about how Orion was able to successfully end the situation with the griffons and the dogs. Thanks to his efforts, the only real casualties from that standoff were Barney's two best friends.
Speaking of Orion's revenge against Barney. Did anyone else think of this scene when Orion kicked him?
10/10 Morgan does it again.
Grace = Best Griffin. Bitch slapped Grendal/Lotti hard enough to remodel her face, the floor, and grant Lotti a meeting with the Almighty - keeping a strong pimp hand to be sure.

Interesting development and world building surrounding Shining and Twilight. Are they going to take on a more central role / be more of a focus than in the original story? From the last chapter it looked like Shining was already (potentially) having changeling problems with that shadowy pony stalking his team, and Twilight seems to being going in a different direction than her jealousy for Orion visiting Scream would suggest.
Edit: Also, is Orion giving them the formula for just steel, or will he give them the formula for stainless steel (which is better than steel)? It would be hilarious if the ponies found out that the griffins surpassed them in steel quality overnight if they dont know about stainless steel yet.
Great chapter!
This is a face: 😶
This is a Pinky Pie Face:
This is a Rainbow Dash Face:
The point is that there is no Orion Face, but if there is one, I'm sure he wouldn't be happy...
Anyways, and as always; This was an awesome update! Be chill and be awesome. Be happy! 😉
At this point i am fairly sure hes half kirin

And we have the confirmation Celestia is after world domination, just trying to be subtle about it. At least until she gets an enchanter to fix her magitech weaponry.
Chances the sanctions enacted against the gryphon nation were part of a larger plot to destabilize the region, just enough to allow Sunbutt setting a puppet ruler under her sway.
"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
Grace the badass. I can get behind this.
Damn. Well, that solves two problems. Two birds one stone. Or one bird one swipe.
11534171
I haven't read a lot of stories where Cadence has a more forceful role, so I don't have a good comparison. However, thank you.
11534180
We forget how difficult people can be. Unless, as a leader, you convince them it's in their best interest. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case.
11534214
To some extent, yes. Twilight, and in my opinion, more importantly Shining are both going to have a more active role. Orion's mere presence has already changed their chartered course in history. To not highlight those changes would be a disservice to them as well as the story as a whole.
As far as Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel made correctly exceeds the strength of Stainless so that maybe pointless.
11534219
Thank you. It's mostly editing.
11534246
I have an Orion Face.

Disgruntled and Offended.
Disfended.
11534264
That would be a terrible outcome. I have...plans....for those.
11534265
And thank you!
11534275
Corrected! Thank you!
11534329
How best to control the world while not appearing to do so. A Ted Talk by Princess Celestia.
11534524
Yeah she is, a lot of exceptional characters are going to take prominence further on.
11534605
Birdo destruction.

I also wonder how Cadence and Orion are going to interact.
It would be a surprise if Caddy doesn't take a more active role in Twilight's love life, and Orion...well, if Mr.Fall gets a good read of the pink alicorn's nature and intentions, he is going to avoid her like the plague.
11534652
Orion: Disgruntled and annoyed noises.
Candence: 😏
11534633
I agree with you there. However, finding out you've been manipulated for nearly your whole life by people you thought you knew and trusted is still a very difficult thing to accept even if they claim to have your best interests at heart.
I can easily see Twilight not taking that discovery very well. We've already seen she has trust issues because of what happened with her former "friends". So I believe she'd see what Celestia and Cadence did as a complete betrayal of her trust. How badly she takes it is going to greatly depend on how she learns about all the manipulations that have been done to her and her family.
11534033
As a contender for top three of my favorite active stories, worry not. Any chapter is a good one.
As usual great job, it was great to read this chapter
11534778
and what are the other two stories? Because I'm looking for interesting stories
11535450
FIM, or in general? When I said top three, I was counting other sites as well.
Another great chapter. Thanks.
Btw, I kinda believe that "the way of manipulation" of Celestia is a perfect valid option for a ruler to take, as it is, normally, the one that shed less blood.
It's hard for many to understand, but both fear of loss and sense of duty can motivate people to do the craziest shit while thinking they're walking the righteous path - even more to a rule with the sword of Damocles under their heads.
Now, 11534652 comment made me think...
If Princess Mi Amore saw Orion, what would be his emotional colors?
good chapter! i my have said it before but im loving the rewrite
11539461
Why thank you kindly. It is going well. According to everyone that isn't me, meanwhile I am already editing the next chapter and worried about it flowing correctly on such minute details I worry that I will forget something.
11536322
There will be an interaction of sorts in the future between the two, though I won't go into the planned details and result of that, as I'm sure you are aware.
11536322
Manipulations from a political tactics position is great, but pay attention to this book and the next. A loy of subtext is going to be injected that will explain why that is a bad thing.
11539479
It doesn't matter how many plans and plots Celestia may concoct to take over while claiming plausible deniability; at the end people would notice Equestria being the sole nation profiting from the status quo while the so-called rulers mostly dance at the Sun alicorn's tune.
Celestia's goal is, at the end of the day, an empire. And empires are parasitic by nature, with their colonies exploited and plundered of resources by the metropolis. Can't have harmony while most races rightfully hate your guts.
The funny thing is, Orion has a better model in development with the whole gryphon-diamond dogs debacle: create a situation from which all sides profit more from keeping their side of the agreement than by breaking it.
After reading, the chapter name makes more sense now lmao. Good job on the chapter and keep up the good work!
Good God, the more I read this story the more I HATE that cunt Celestia. I hope Twilight, Cadance and everyone sees her for EXACTLY what she is and eventually turns on her, even Luna herself turning against Celestia when she sees what type of monster her sister has become, after she comes back and is purified.
Maybe Twilight and all of her friends should use the Elements of Harmony against her as well, and blast her oversized, manipulative, lying, tyrannical ass a few times. Just to make sure that they completely blast the "bitch" clean out of her.
At least in the older version of this story, I could believe that her darker self, Daybreaker, was subtly manipulating her thoughts, actions and affecting her personality and the way she acted wasn't ENTIRELY Celestia's fault. But in this version though?
Nah, she is just some huge, overpowered bitch obsessed with conquering the entire world and subjugating every other race and putting them all under her control. The woman is quite honestly a power hungry, practically immortal, fucking psychopath pretending to be a benevolent ruler who is hellbent on complete world domination.
I say, down with the Sun Cunt. Banish her to the sun for a few thousand years.
Semi alicorn form? After all he using unicorn magic and transform part of it I'm earth pony magic.
