11302810 Thank you! Basically it's another low population world where everyone is encouraged (or in this case mandated) to breed, with stallions expected to form a herd with a minimum of two mares.
Lightning developing interest in Web Spinner? How interesting...
Would she have thought the same thing if she had had a more clear mind? Like she said, he was the only one who was at least mildly interested in her escape. Well at least Equinox is there to 'help' Lightning, though I wonder how much of that help is for Lightning and for her own self.
Really everyone seems to have their own agenda and its hard to tell who to trust.
I love this story and the way that so many different things could've happened if things have been a bit different. Like if Lightning's actions are being influenced by Changeling-Induced Estrus, would she had then gotten interest in Kyube if they hadn't taken such a hostile turn and they had tagged along? Well more like Equinox trying to bash Kyube's head in. But you get what I meant
So many things! I can't wait to see where this will go next! And I hope to catch up on the series as a whole. Summers are the worst, I can't make any progress in any field! Well, not entirely true, I've been making slow gains on the next Lightnedark OST theme!
*A Midnight Plushie shall stare intently into Web Spinner's soul for some time*
11303083 I figure Lightning's attraction would've likely happened anyhow, but certainly not that fast or to this degree. Most of this chapter was split from the last one, although the scene with Penumbra/Beatrix/Cerise etc. was a new addition.
It's sort of weird considering Folklore already encountered the Necronomicon in his own Pulp World in the Symphony of Canterlot by its original Arabic name the Al-Azif.
Canterlot University Library, Arcana Wing 7:05 PM
We went into a place unknown to even Celestia, a secret wing of the library of Canterlot University, hidden away under the university library’s basement level. It was filled with tomes ancient and strange, tablets of unknown origin in bookshelves of creaking oaken wood. The books were behind zigzagging iron bars and iron chains with welded locks bearing a similar symbol, a branch-like symbol to the one etched in the ‘sword’ I tied to my back. The electric lighting was dim, and to my surprise, no guards of any sort.
Her Majesty had already told us how she came upon that information––she had tortured a survivor of an attempted assassination attempt to herself in her own bedchambers. Though it wasn’t an assassination attempt from what she had the poor imbecile confess. It was worse; the seven enchanted spears were imitations of the old Norse god Odin’s legendary Gungnir. And with them, they sought to take control of her while in her sleep.
He confessed that he was Sergeant Flamel of the Unicorn Royal Guard and that the whole of the officers in it was in the Thule Society as soon as they reached adulthood, their families inducting them into to it as part of the tradition.
He didn’t know who the Grandmasters in the Old World were, but he said that the only Grandmaster left in Equestria was Arpeggio Philharmonic himself. He had sacrificed the rest for Nightmare Moon’s body and had the Unicorn Royal Guards that were Thule like him armed with foreign weapons and to pledge their allegiance to him.
Arpeggio was working on a hidden project that not even the Unicorn Royal Guard officers themselves knew.
But he also confessed after further pain from Princess Luna that Arpeggio, through the convincing of his witch wife Greenteeth, had been using the grimoire known as the Al-Azif to use magic from beyond, as he put it.
Princess Luna, in her infinite wisdom, decided to bring me and Bloody Merry along just in case anything unexpected happened.
Truth be told I had heard legends of the Al-Azif; it was dreaded among occultists like myself. Considered something indominable, and capable of summoning powers incomprehensible and unfathomable.
If the Thule had been using it, then we figured we had better get to it and glean information on how to undo what it has wrought on the world.
I was being flanked by the three Nocturnes, and in front of me was Princess Luna, Bloody Merry and finally the head librarian of Canterlot University, who complied with our request at the threat of imprisonment.
Eventually, we reached a vault, and behind it an iron door. He placed a key in it and then galloped away from all of us as quickly as his legs could carry him.
Princess Luna looked back at me.
“Folklore, thou first.”
I complied and I entered the room.
It was a blank reinforced concrete room; it was symmetrical, with no distinguishing features except for a single pedestal holding a rather compact looking tome.
No larger than me head and about as thick as two bricks. It was bound in worn equine leather. I approached it, then the door behind me shut with a resounding slam. The tome opened, its pages quickly turning on their own.
Until they stopped midway, then I looked at it, its strange and incomprehensible characters written in what I could very well tell was long ago dried equine blood.
It started glowing a sickly yellow. And then blank…
I slowly opened my eyes; I was on the floor, still wearing my long black overcoat. I then felt a splitting migraine and nausea. I heard banging on the door from outside. I quickly galloped, hastily towards it and opened the iron door. Then I vomited a thick yellow slime that shot out of my mouth on the floor in front of the Nocturne, Princess Luna and Bloody Merry.
I continued expelling it for all of ten seconds until I collapsed on my knees, and I looked up at them, my groggy eyes still trying to catch up with my mind.
I said the following to them.
“What have they done?”
He got a lot of knowledge from it that took years for him to trully understand. His Necronomicon is in a well guarded archive in a bunker in the San Palomino Desert, as per order of Luna and diplomats of the Scorpan Empire (Pagan Turks). There are a few more lost copies of the damn thing. Though again my version is sort of a mix between the Evil Dead version and the one mentioned in H.P.Lovercraft's stories.
11303097 Ah poor Lightning. She's just lonely. can't wait to see where things will go! This would've happened with Kyube if they never became hostile and they went on the right foot?
11303609 Good question, can't say for certain since she's NotaPonyPerson's character, but since she was Oona's ex I assume a sweet, wise, responsible lover?
11303429 It’s very unlikely Lightning be interested in Kyube, even without the enzymes messing with her. To her, a thief is a heartbreaker waiting to happen.
11312849 Oona's is dream related I believe, Cerise/Midnight/Moonlight don't have one. Same for Wispy/Kitsune/Bellatrix/twins. Dion's is some sort of buff to his strength I think?
nice work i find. And heh, with all those sex hungry females, must be very though for the males

11302813
oh dear. I hope no stallion gest to the point of needing an ice pack or something
11302816
Quite possible!
11302824
oh dear. Don't get this the wrong way but I don't think Hanzal could keep bear this

In my lore, the Necronomicon moves through dimensions and is one-of-a-kind. I also used some inspiration from Evil Dead.
11303097
Ah poor Lightning. She's just lonely.
can't wait to see where things will go!
This would've happened with Kyube if they never became hostile and they went on the right foot?
11303429
Hard to say, don't know Kyube too well yet.
11303466
hmhmm
What does iclyn look for in a lover?
11303609
Good question, can't say for certain since she's NotaPonyPerson's character, but since she was Oona's ex I assume a sweet, wise, responsible lover?

11306635
Alright.
Can't wait to see the next chapter!
What was everyones oona again, I only know Beatrix, ewe, Zell and shadow scythe
11312849
Oona's is dream related I believe, Cerise/Midnight/Moonlight don't have one. Same for Wispy/Kitsune/Bellatrix/twins. Dion's is some sort of buff to his strength I think?
11312858
Not to sure?
11312860
Nope, Onoma is NotaPonyPerson's lore so I'd have to doublecheck.
11312939
*Sigh* kay😓
11312858
Yeeah, this is where the trope pages will come in handy as all the Onoma’s will be easily explained there.
