A portal spell gone wrong sends Rainbow Dash much farther than originally intended, and chrashing into the unexplored and seemingly endless desert of the Red Sands.

But the Red Sands are far from empty.

Before Read:
OIAFAWOIFOHW
NEW STORY
cool

TIME TO READ BECAUSE I REQUIRE SUSTENANCE

After Read:
You have satisfied me for now
ONWARD AUTHOR
TO GLORY

Can't wait to see how this plays out.

Time to comb the desert for her...

:pinkiegasp:How...How do you do it? Not only a new story but out so soon after finishing one and updating your other ones.

As for the story. too soon to tell if I'll like it or not. But based off your mad skills as a writer and the human tag I'm sure I'll love it.:twilightsmile:

2503658 You tell me, I still have to write up new chapters for the reader and the janitor, and I still have to find the time to work on a sequel for the watcher ^^

google translate is your friend

One thing: "crashing" only needs one "h".

Other than that, I'm psyched! If this somehow doesn't turn out to be awesome, I'll eat my hat.

Liking it so far! :twilightsmile:

Still haven't seen what magic, if any, exists here. And if not, will it affect Dashie's ability to fly once her body heals? (I'm of the opinion that a pony creates their own magic rather than depending on the ambient field around them so they don't literally die in a magic-void place. Same idea as a warm-blooded mammal can survive in a cold zone unlike a reptile)

I think your should change your summary
When I read it i thought this was going to be a story about rainbow dash getting lost in a desert, runs into a human (possibly a merchant) and then travel together to a city exchanging stories

Did not think it was going to be like this at all and this is more interesting that I thought it would be

I can't read Arabic writing, but after you alluded to the correct pronunciation of "hoca", I am now wondering, if you in fact did not just use random Arabic letters :D

What I really noticed in this story (you also do it in the others, but less) is that you use "antagonizing" when you really mean "agonizing"...

Otherwise, keep going, I really like stories from Dash's perspective. The only other one I've found so far was The Dread Chitin...

2620069 Thanks for the advice, I'll have to look out for that now ^^

as for translation, you can check here if you're interested ^^

Thanks! I mean, it's not like most of it wasn't obvious from the context, but still ^^
I probably won't look up the translations in future chapters, though, since I normalle read all my fanfics on a Kindle :twilightblush:

why does this not have more views yet?

Because Husam and Bahir are way too sneaky for us. Their stealth hides the story itself.

And by reading this chapter I can proudly say that I have read all that Gnollreader have published here on fimfiction. And I must say, you never once disappointed me. Good on you chap, have a mustache :moustache:

I am an American with middle eastern descent and you have no idea how much fun I've had reading this story aloud with a fake middle eastern accent!

Lol, Husam is just worried about how much water those losers were wasting!

"What a senseless waste of water..."

Best line.

*knives


Also, badass. Don't mess with the 'sam.
Great story as always!

WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS YET?!

NO fucks were given this day

Damn, dude, you're on a roll!

3390058 i can't help but stare at your incredibly classy avatar every time i see one of your comments

Thanks, I guess.
I've actually seen at least three other users with the exact same one, the only one I can remember off the top of my head is some dude called Ex-Nihilos or something like that. Unless it's been changed since last time I've seen it.

I wish I actually had something to say about the story instead of cluttering the comments with this.

3393165 oh pish posh, it adds more class to the comments

Saw there were a few other stories by the guy who wrote Reader. Decided to give it a look. Interesting take so far, although I've only read the first chapter.

Bit of constructive criticism though:

She remember the endless sea of red beneath her that stretched endlessly as far as she could see, and she remembered falling towards a maze of countless little lights that shone like stars as she plummeted towards it.

Triple redundancy is great in engineering, in writing, not so good. You wrote endless, endlessly, and referred to the desert as being "as far as she could see" all in the same sentence. You repeated yourself again with plummeted and falling. Also, remember is probably supposed to be remembered, in this context.

Other than that, again, it's an entertaining start. I understand this is a bit late to the party, as the story is much longer than one chapter, but better late than never, eh?

Gnollreader is such a good fucking writer.

Still can't wait for new chapters.
Come back soon, Gnoll!
