S-K Of The Flame


T

After unexpectedly being freed during a Changeling invasion, Discord finds himself allying with the Queen of the Changelings and the Mare of the Moon. In a bid to weaken their enemies, they take the element of magic, Twilight Sparkle, as a prisoner. Twilight then finds herself becoming a pawn each of them wants to use to secure their own dominance.

Will she be able to resist these beings of darkness, or will she fall into the darkness herself?

Discord isn't much fun when you give him logical thought processes. I was kind of hoping for this to be from twilights perspective though. Also gives me an idea for a more comedic version of this where the three villains are all tripping over each others schemes to corrupt her.

You are amazing, this is great. I really want twilight to turn evil, unfortunately in all of the good stories where she turns evil she loses. I mean she just makes the perfect discordian what with how chaotic she is.

Have no fear. While I may portray Discord as being more thoughtful about what he does, I fully intend to make him a fun character. The only reason that he was so logical in this chapter is that I figured that he had just broken free and was weakened from being imprisoned. That and the fact that he had just been blasted by a powerful and unknown source of magic. I thought that his first priorty would have been to find somewhere safe to recover and try to figure out what happened. He'll be back to his old self within two, maybe three chapters.

Is this whole thing entirely from his perspective, or will it flip from villain to villain?

I'm going to have Perspectives switch when I feel that it's more appropriate to concentrate on another character. We'll be seeing what's happening from the three villains, Twilight, and the occasional chapter seeing what the Mane 6 are doing.

No massive grammar or spelling errors, and an interesting concept. At this pace, you might have a successful story in your hands. Keep it up!

But be warned

Thank you. I always aim to please.

But for the love of Celestia, Please, please, PLEASE don't make that face when you watch me. It scares me. :twilightoops:

Would you believe me if I actually said yes?

you have peeked my interest... and the premise seems sound. Discord creating the original Changeling? Nice. Anyways, hope to see a update soon :twilightsmile:

you have NO idea how long i have waited for someone to make a story like this one!
I LOVE YOU :pinkiehappy:
also, great chapter, and i don't know why but I really like the way you portray discord.
hope for a update soon! :twilightsmile:

1580815

You like the idea of him creating the original Changelings? I literally threw that bit in at the last minute, and when I added it, I thought I might have been having him do too much stuff with the world. I'm glad that someone liked the idea though.

Hope you enjoy the story.

Funny story about that actually. The main reason I started writing this story was because I wanted to read a story of all the main villains trying to seduce Twilight, but I couldn't find one :fluttercry:. So I thought "Screw it. If there isn't a story like that on this site, I'll write it myself!"

I'm glad you liked the chapter. I hope that you'll enjoy the rest of it just as well.

I am interested please continue

Keep going, the story is very interesting. I can wait for the next update.

1621460
Glad you like it. :pinkiehappy: Though in the future, could you not use my name please?

1621469

Sorry bout that ^^; I deleted the comment and replacing it with this one.:derpytongue2: Anywho, same thing that I said, Great work :3

this story is great, I expected a lot of it, strongly away!

1622348

Strongly away? What do you mean by that?

sorry typo, eager to read more

1622637
Thanks. I'm currently writing the next chapter right now, so expect to see it in less then a week.

Interesting.. Go on:pinkiehappy: looks really promising cant wait to read when theres more

1663346
Thank you! Glad you liked it. There will be more up very soon.

1663545 hehe cant wait to see what happens. i love reading romance and dark fics their my favorite and especially ones centered around twilight. one question though whose being shipped with who ? dont wanna start reading and wait for cliffhangers :pinkiehappy:

1683597
That's kind of a difficult question. There is no set final couple at this point, but I can tell you that Twilight will ultimately end up with one of the three Sovereign (That's what I'm calling the alliance of the three villains just for the record). I'll be paying attention to reader comments on who they'd like Twilight to end up with to make my final decision, so be sure to make your preferance known. On other couples, I'm probably going to be hinting at FlutterDash :fluttershyouch::rainbowkiss:, and perhaps some other Mane Six couples, but again, nothings ultimately set in stone here. In Hindsight, it was kind of stupid of me not to have made this decision before I started writing this.

Haha wheres the fun in already knowing what you re gonna write about before you do it ? Anyways idk you could make it so Twilight becomes closer with all three and one of them gets in her the end when you do decide who u want to ship twilight with and honestly i wouldnt mind who you ship twilight with since her being shipped with any of these characters are honestly a gem. Theres like 20 moonlights 10 discolights and like 5 chrys ships so im already happy shes being shipped with one of them. I'd say go with whoever you can write the best and ima read the prologue this one time so dont leave me hanging :pinkiehappy:

1685495
quick question, about when do you think the next chapter will be finished?
im fine with waiting, i just want to know about how long i will be doing so. :twilightsmile:

1694622
Have no fear. It shouldn't be much longer. Possibly by the end of the week, if not by the middle of the next. I found the first draft of the next chapter to be stiff and unsatisfactory, and as such, had to go back and rewrite the thing.:fluttercry:

i like how you built up discord's feelings like that. i havent seen anyone relate lesson zero to discord and that actually makes sense too. didnt think of how twilight caused chaos on a city spread level. Cant wait to see how Nmm comes into play

I would love to see the next chapter. Absoulutly thrilling!:pinkiehappy:

1726996

I'm afraid I can't take complete credit for that. I read a certain story which explored that angle and the idea stuck. ( http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7471138/1/Twilight-s-Nightmare )

1728246

And you will, dear reader. You will. Glad you enjoyed it. :pinkiehappy:

1731499 Well the thing about ideas is that once its started it can be spread and be improved upon and shown in different angles to make awesome fics like this :twilightsmile:

1740954

Oh jeeze, if You keep this up, I might just throw you a watch. Seriously though, thanks.

1745362 :twilightblush:you flatter me, itd be boring to watch me I dont really post anything, just comment on fics that i like and stuff like that and u deserve it for the initiative of writing a story that you want :yay:

so i take it the previous date for chapter release is gone..... :fluttershysad:
could you give a estimate to when the next one will be out?

1842652

I know. I know. I'm sorry. I'm not doing this on purpose I swear :raritycry: . A week or two at worst. I hope.

The problem is that while I'm writing the next chapter, all these great ideas for other stories decide that it's the most appropriete time to pop into my head. So as a result, I have to open another document to type all this stuff down, there by distracting me from writing. It's been a huge pain my ass cause I desperately want to give you guys the next chapter, but this constant stream of ideas gets in the way of it.

1842715
its alright, i know the feel.
once i tried to wright a fic, but i ended up writing the intro to like, 12, instead :facehoof:

Considering that Discord seems to be more powerful than Celestia, I don't think it's unreasonable that he would be able to conceal his escape long enough for Season 3 to start. I'd say go for it! (Also, how do you plan on bringing in Nightmare? Is she a separate entity from Luna, or just a different personality?) Either way, can't wait for the next chapter!

I love the story so far, I hope you will update soon.

And as for what to do for chapter three and/or four, it doesn't matter to me what you do just as long as you update this awesome story^^

1936572

She's sort of the same entity as Luna. :twilightblush: I'll explain it properly when she gets introduced.

I am enjoying this story. It is very descriptive, very well worded and very interesting. I look forward to seeing future chapters. I also couldn't see a single spelling or grammar error in sight. Very well done. :moustache:

an update?!? :yay:
ooooh, and so the plot thickens!
awesome chapter, and i really like the way you made the changlings in this story. :pinkiehappy:
as for being before or after season 3 premiere, it think it would be cool if twilight already knew some dark magic, but its totally fine if you make it before, what ever is easier for you i guess.
i cant wait for the next chapter :twilightsmile:

An update. Yay!

An interesting take on the Changelings...

I wonder if Discord is going to be willing to play up his connection to their "Blessed Mother."

I can't wait for the next chapter.anyway as for the idea well I agree with the first one also I believe that you should include what ever abilities you wish however I would also recommend that you do not include king sombra amongst the major baddies. he just seems too insignificant next to the other three. just saying.:twilightsmile:

1938147

Thank you! Glad you liked it. I'm just happy to have this one done quite honestly. Now I can start the really fun stuff. Having the Sovereign interact with one another.

1938504

Thank you. Out of curiosity, How exactly is my take on the changelings interesting? :rainbowhuh: I thought my take was pretty standard.

And yes, Discord will be teasing the fact that he knows the Blessed Mother a lot. Discord, as I write him, is all about using everything he has to his advantage.

1939897

Funny story about that actually. I had originally left the story open in case I wanted to add Sombra to the alliance. After seeing him in the season three premier though, I dropped that idea.

I will admit though, Sombra does have a small role to play in this.
