did i see that right, you tried double vaginal?
11372656
Those twins sure are flexible despite being made of crystal :p
11372668
sounds like double vaginal to me
11372670
Indeed
11372671
Cool! loved it as its damn rare in stories, tried it a few times myself
This seems to be one of the main driving forces in drama. While it's important to acknowledge the roots of culture, change is also necessary if certain groups wish to continue existing. Tradition should not be practised to the degree of stagnation, and branding change as heresy is antithetical to nature itself.
Oh, the irony.đ
Surely there has to be a compromise?đ€
She has a point. What's wrong with a non-Zebra winning the contest?
I hope the twins don't mind sharing with a 3rd.
If this happens to more people, it will be a logistical nightmare to put everyone back in their respective universes!đ°
Oh, thank God! Kitsune still has communication with Wispy. That just saved a lot of trouble.đ„
I'm surprised that no one considered this sooner. Beatrix can't be the scapegoat for the collapse of the multiverse.
Is there any time window at all for her to carry a baby to term? She can't be constantly healing 24/7.
Did you mean "seized"?
I do not like the uncertainty of this paragraph...đ°
Add the "Deflating Whoopee Cushion" sound effect and it's comedy gold!đ
It's all fun & games until you get sucked into oblivion.đ
So...the telepathic version of cheating?
I thought it was their winged human forms being one of many.
Aha! I knew it!đ
Good question. It was like a switch was flipped when Eclipsed pleaded to have Seb killed while they still could.đ
"A dark path" feels like a cliched phrase with how much I've seen it used in fiction, but that's just me.đ€·
Julianne has a point here. Why is there diversity where there should have been monotony?
This is an interesting take on the Bible here as a means of manipulating the loyalty of Humans to Metatron & hiding the true context.
Zeloph, I hope you know what you're doing, & it'd better be worth it.đ€Š
Let's hope it all pays off. Things are already bad enough as is.đ„

1) That would be 100% supported⊠if they only knew where the emperor was getting his technology.
3) Iâm sure one does once Ebony takes over. She could always visit the cyberverse for better understanding!
4) Well, considering that thereâs never been a biracial chieftain and most of Nobleâs tribe prefer the old ways, it goes without saying some will not fancy the idea that a literal white ram bested them. Itâs a sensitive topic for sure, but one worth exploring (especially with all the âcommonâ depictions of zebras on this site >_>)
5) The twins are familiar (and easily infatuated) with Ebony, so there should no complaints. Iâm actually surprised with how well Dion and Ebony go along!
6) Iâm particularly worried about what will happen if Eclipsed and Cerise meetâŠ
8) One of the rules for Bea is that she, the demiurge and the Necronomicon do not have alternative versions of themselves. So coming up with an explanation for how another achieved a similar status will be very interesting~.
9) Iâll leave that for Sharaz to explain as SS is their character. But my stance is that sheâd have to literary isolate herself in one location as to not risk injury. And that would prove difficult physically (thereâs currently an angry wraith running around) and mentality (being trapped in oneâs head isnât always fun). Youâll also see why Zellâs healing doesnât help either.
11) Itâs a tough position to be in. Wanting to make her man happy, yet too afraid of the consequences itâll have on her body/mind.
14) Youâd think, given his archetype. But Seb absolutely abhors cheating. Though what he considers cheating is definitely dubious.
15) My theory is that itâs a cause of both. The âangelsâ took on a more familiar face so not to frighten Terrans while also claiming that âtheyâre in gods image.â Itâs natural for one to want to be considered âspecialâ.
17) As Iâll hopefully touch upon when I resume writing the second cyberverse story, Eclipsed is completely justified in wanting Seb dead.
18) Unwarranted redemption arcs for intentionally bad characters are my big grievance. Not just with MLP, but other fanbases.
19/20) Thank you! Iâm sure itâs been done before, but itâs my favourite highlight when coming up with demi-human lore.
21/22) More answers will be revealed in time

9. My idea for reapers is due to their immortality, their regeneration causes their bodies to constantly revert to a 'default' state. Basically, her womb would probably rupture a fetus, as reapers are a solitary sect that aren't supposed to breed. Of course Shadow Scythe betrayed and killed her order, so the usual rules might be changed if she found an alternative means. A synthetic womb in say the cyberverse could be a potential option...
17. Seb almost killed Eclipsed, her bandmates, friends in her rival band, her boyfriend/his brothers and mother, not to mention innocents hurt and damage to the city, so basically he's the equivalent in her eyes of how Zeloph was to Cerise. Normally, she's of course quite sweet like her counterpart! Plus, I figure she's afraid he'll actually succeed if given another chance...
I see. It's odd. Due to the nature of the way I have written healing factors and regeneration it doesn't contradict the biological bodies written "code". A mare/human with regenerative abilities would actually be more fertile, and fertile for a few centuries at that. Added in with a massive reduction in birth defects. The only one disease that is at risk of manifesting is the "Undying Rot" an existence of permanent cancer that brings permanent agony as the sufferer's regenerative abilities are constantly working nonstop causing it, and that same regeneration refusing to let the sufferer "physically" die. Luckily enough time whether that be days or years of the misery would cause brain death, and before that sapience, reducing the sufferer to a bumbling screaming sub-human/equine.
That said... According to Kabbalist and Apocryphal Hebrew scripts Metatron was once the mortal and early superior human Enoch the great-grandfather to Noah. He lived for 365 years until God took him. But he did not die, instead he was told of the secret history, and of the future cleansing of the Earth. He was given task to serve as a mediator between the Watchers and God. This was so that Humanity could participate in the judgement of the Watchers as their actions caused most harm to humanity itself. Though it is debatable if we had a say on what would happen.
So Metatron is a ascended human from a time humans could live for hundreds of years on end and wielded sorceries almost by instinct.

âUndying Rotâ you say? How⊠oddly fitting~
And oh, the irony of naming a genocide celestial being after an ascended human.

My idea is that the reaper sect represents 'order', and one of their tasks is to help keep the world in a harmonious stasis. I figure they're forbidden to have children when they're taken into the sect, perhaps for good reason as their might be severe complications to offspring. As they're immortal, few of them are ever replaced, although I figure they're rendered mortal by the head of the sect at every millennia's end and a new set replaces them as they retire.
(1) Oh shoot, Natural Selection crucified!? Wait, he's alive still. Dialogue!
(2) Damn, Natural Selection getting denied a bloodline and roasted. With his own name! Though him being against modernization does add an interesting detail given what we're seeing from Varys.
(3) Seeing Foal Bearer and Wet Nurse in the fertility festival is very hot. Especially how they can take so many stallions. The fertility festival is always the best!
(4) I find it interesting that Dion would be training while there's a fertility festival going on. Him and Ebony talking about the balance of modernization and tradition. The clop that ensued was very hot as well. It's also good that he thought of the twins in the middle of this.
(5) I like how many still find Omen to be a bit suspicious. But as of now he's been proving to be a very valuable asset time and time again!
Though people saying they shouldn't have released the burning king despite it being a prophecy and the team doing their best to stop it anyways is a bit sad considering they lost a lot and had to endure so much emotional, physical, and mental pain.
(6) I like seeing Oona's homeworld. It's very cool. Also the picture of Haden, baby Dion, and Oona's mother pregnant with her is very wholesome. The backstory! Expanding it is!
(7) I wonder what truly would've been the best course of action (from the perspective of others) since many still criticize Beatrix after the Burning King's War. Sure, the multiverse was saved, but its integrity is at an even worse state than before!
I guess it's like how many say they wish Beatrix wasn't her reckless self or that she didn't even exist. Despite this being completely out of Beatrix's control and it's because of the Necronomicon.
(8) Truly a sad moment that their souls are unable to be released. At least Shadow could help move them on once she arrives.
(9) Shining (K)night's revival is such a plushie move
(10) Hearing Shadow doubt that even Beatrix could save the universe at this stage is a bit worrisome (from a story perspective).
It's almost like we're going to have to sacrifice a dimension or more to even have a chance of restabilizing things!
(11) Rules about converting ones universe's rules to another, and the definition of dimension, timeline, universe, and multiverse will always be complicated. But now Eclipses looks like Cerise! Also surprised that Shadow can't say she's friends with Beatrix and says her real name instead.
(12) And now Eclipsed discovered/is going to ask how Zeloph and Shadow committed a ton of sins before they became good last story.
(13) The call between dimensions was very interesting. I like how the stories are able to connect this way. Though I imagine it could get complicated if you didn't know the order in which they get updated?
(14) Me to everyone who ever blamed or will blame Beatrix:
"Want an easy scapegoat? Or better the true culprit for all of these events instead of Beatrix?
Blame. The. Necronomicon."
Thus anybody wielding the Necronomicon should obviously be taken down or convinced to leave it alone. The book is the reason most of these issues are occuring.
I truly wonder if there's a way to destroy the invincible book. Cause eventually it'll come back to haunt them. Again. Like it always does. It's the William Afton of the Beatrix Belladonna series.
William Afton XD
(15) Yeah, I do hope that Mortis doesn't find out that all of the Demi-Humans have been struck down to their imp/cherub forms. Or at least as late as possible in-universe so that when he does come back they can go back into their original power. Like how it happened before with Zeloph.
(16) I like Shadow and Moxxi's conversation. From how Moxxi felt annoyed at her unable to do that incestual kink due to Shadow, the imp later regretting poking at the fact that Shadow can't have children and how Shadow truly loves Zeloph for giving her a chance. And then the two understand each other a bit better.
(17) Arron and Seb telling the other to shut up is very funny, especially when Wispy asks if their IQ lowered. XD
The Demi Humans scene in general was very fun to read. Shadow called out Seb's bluff real hard.
Also the Bible exists here? Though I imagine it's a very different scripture from the one we know. Partially because it is fiction here. Also Michael is actually Jesus disguised as an angel according to bible lore. And Lucifer used to be a high ranking angel who grew jealous of a seemingly ordinary angel being able to go into God's meetings, and then tried to be God.
God made humans to their image, but of course this is a different AU so idk how this applies... But the Bible also implies other races who did not sin exist...
So that means Jesus is real here? Will he save the universe? (Of course not...?)
Like I said, I think this version of the Bible and its lore is different from the real one, so I'll just go along with things. Like how Hell technically does not exist at this moment? Nor does Lucifer rule over it.
(18) I just find it amusing how quickly Julianne went back to her full power. Which is good as she can hold Mortis off if he does come for all of them.
It took Zeloph an entire arc and Julianne does it with a few chapters. It's like how Goten casually learned Super Saiyan while Goku had to lose his best friend.
(19) Alright, have to admit, don't know who's Metatron. But in this AU he basically sounds like Lucifer 2.0.
And here comes Lilith. Never read about her as she technically doesn't exists, but it's interesting to see her depiction here. Also Lucifer is the "good guy" here? Well considering that there's technically no "God", no Trinity, and that it's another angel who took over that position, I guess it makes sense?
Real Lucifer/Satan though has the "if I'm going to burn, I'll take as many angels, humans, and even Jesus if I can, with me!" mentality.
Also apples aren't the forbidden fruit, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
All in all this scene plays a spin in liberty and free will. This Metatron sounds like the opposite of God. Cause (1) he isn't actually God, (2) he seems to trybhis best to not give everyone free will (3) he doesn't love humanity and then tries to kill them. In this AU I guess it does make sense to paint Lucifer as a good guy in his own right?
But then again, sin is well, sin. It's not another way of life, it's still bad from a good guy perspective (even one who doesn't follow Metatron)
Again, Villains by Stella Jang just fits this series perfectly.
(20) interesting how the Demi-Humans themselves are categorized. Reminds me on how Flurry Heart is the only true alicorn as she was born as one, while the rest are artificial.
(21) oh hey! They're back to full power! And we might see Arron vs Zeloph. Also interesting last thought from Eclipses about The Prima Materia, and how she might not be real.
Anyways I really liked this chapter. Especially the lore behind the Demi Humans and the Bible. Did not expect it to be referenced. And how different this world's biblical lore is.
This took a long time to write. But I'm happy I finished this chapter. On to PoW now!

Thanks for reading and commenting as always! Lots of set up and lore in this one! Yeah, Shadow Scythe still finds Beatrix kind of annoying, but has come to care about her, hard as it is for her to admit it. And of course the title 'Shadow Scythe' now fills her with shame, but it's still an important reminder of her dark deeds...sins that she (and presumably Zeloph's own) wish Eclipsed Heart wouldn't have to learn about...
11383713
2) Natural would especially hate Varys, but at this point, who doesn't? lol
4) Hard to relax when your pregnant sister is in parrel. Though thankfully, Ebony's there to relieve tension~
5) Sacrifices have to be made, even at the cost of losing face.
6) I Can't tell you how long I've waited to introduce the Isle and Parras and its citizens. Hopefully, if all the chaos gets solved, Beatrix and her friends can pay a proper visit
7) There was no alternative course of action.
12) It Would have happened sooner or later. The good news is that Eclipsed has a hate boner for Seb more than anything!
13) Hence why we encourage people to read both stories, so things don't get as confusing.
17) Lucifer fell and became satan because he wanted to be more than what he already was, as God commanded. I also read a few courses he refused to accept humans, hence being the Demon Lord of Pride.
My stance is that demons are more earthly tethered because, by nature, they're made to corrupt mortals, whereas angels are beyond human comprehension, hence the whole 'alien' connection and BAA depictions.
18) Nothing can really hold her down for long.
19) Lilith does appear in the bible, but for like one page. Metatron is also an ambiguous figure, so there's plenty of room. Then again, in this setting, Metatron isn't really a different interpretation of the biblical figure than he is an inspiration.
20) The categorization is new. Nothing like a little science!
11385339
(2) Lol.
(4) That is true. I guess that's a contrast to Midnight who even though his sister has been captured (yet again), and even though he is training, his lust certainly is an obstacle!
(5) I remember that Trixie did lose a lot of reputation when she became a "willing" slave to Necro Twi in Shining Force only to escape with the Necronomicon and accidentally jump a few years. And how everyone wanted her dead initially.
Like mother like daughter. Some heroic acts will never be appreciated at first, if ever.
(6) Hmhmm! Yeah, it would be cool to see the isle more once the story is done. After all, Dion still has that whole rematch thing where he could finally show how much he's grown and that he's ready to take the mantle. That backstory in Bewitched was interesting.
(7) So ever since the Necronomicon fell into Sci Twi's hands, this was always meant to be? Or even when the prophecy was first announced for that matter.
I think you said that even though the prophecy was meant for someone a thousand years later, it was just meant to be that Beatrix and the gang accidentally made it come to be at their time period?
(12) hate boner XD
(13) still, maybe the authors notes should be used to redirect people in case they don't know what order the chapters were written. I've tried to keep reading the stories based on which chapter was released, but someone else might not know
(17) Yeah. What I said. Right? The reason he made humanity fall was that he thought that if God forgave the humans, then by that logic God should forgive Satan, and then by that logic God breaks his own rules.
Though I do agree that apart from normal angels (any depiction of angels in art actually don't have wings, the "scary" ones do), a lot of high ranking angels are very frightening.
(18) I guess that is true. And then everyone followed suit.
(19) Show me the scriptures. Though I think it's not necessary.
If Lilith did exist, then God has no right to say that there can only be monogamy and that polygamy is wrong, since Adam would've had two wives. Contradictory scenario, and Satan would've paraded it showing that God is not infallible.
I don't know about Metatron though. You could explain it to me, but the reality is that true or not, the concept is so cool. It adds to the lore and I absolutely love lore.
(20) indeed.
