“What happened to Nightmare Moon? Was she even real?”
“Unfortunately, she was as real as you or us.”
Despite the anger I tasted, her words carried no malice. It was self-loathing that filled Princess Luna, not the bitter hatred of being defeated by an enemy who would harm her citizens.
I propped her up against the wall of the bedsheet factory so that she wouldn’t have to crane her neck all the way up to look at me as she spoke, though she did still have to look up at me since I was standing. The Elements of Harmony had been lined up against a storefront across the street, and out of earshot.
“Then what happened to her?”
“We were cleansed of that parasite by the Elements of Harmony shortly before rushing here, to thy aid.”
“Cleansed?”
“The Elements of Harmony oft work in the most peculiar way. The first time they were used against Nightmare Moon all those centuries ago, us, we were imprisoned on the moon, Nightmare and Luna both. Perhaps our sister wished it to be so, perhaps the Elements dictated it must be. The new Element bearers used the power of Harmony on us once more, and this time the parasite was removed from our psyche and body. Whether that was on the whims of the bearers of the force of Harmony itself, We do not know..”
“So were you Nightmare Moon, or was she someone else? How did she even come to be?”
“Nightmare Moon warned thou of the perils of the Nightscape, doth thou not recall? That is her origin, and she was more than the sum of her parts. One part parasite of dark origins and designs, one part alicorn. Now We possess the Nightmare’s memories as if they were our own...
“If We were Nightmare Moon fully and truly, then we must pay penitence for our actions. If we were but the host to Nightmare Moon, then we must pay penitence all the same, for We brought that abyssal aberration into existence through our folly alone…”
I tapped a hoof on my chin, “So you’re saying if I reintroduced one of these parasites–”
“Thou wouldn’t! We know thou would not mutilate our mind, not after the horrors thou hast seen and shown us!”
“... No. I wouldn’t.” I sighed before continuing, “And how did Nightmare Moon get defeated by the Elements in the first place? Was she all bark and no bite?”
“All bark and no bite? That is… a reference to canines, We see. No, Nightmare Moon most assuredly would hath defeated any foe before her.”
“Yet she didn’t?”
“She considered the Elements beneath her, and focused on recovering her strength so that she may duel our sister. Nightmare Moon sent naught but weak apparitions of shadow and magic against the soon-to-be Element bearers, and they were found wanting. When Nightmare Moon had realized the extent of her mistake, it was too late for the parasite.”
The hatred I tasted faded, and the bitter taste of sorrow became all the more noticeable.
“Please Prince Phasma, We beg of thou to realize the mistake thou art making. There is time yet to end this calamity and side with Harmony before it is too late.”
“Why would I ever do that?”
“This will not end well for thou or thy host of kin! Nightmare Moon met her defeat not once but twice, and thou art doomed just the same.”
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve already defeated the Elements of Harmony.”
Luna changed tactics, “If thou doth not believe in the power of Harmony, then believe in the power of reason. Doth thou really believe thou can rule the world with all of it plotting thy demise? Come peacefully, and we shall aid our sister in ending the tyrannical rule of thy Queen and mother. Then we shall treat thou and thy kin fairly, and we shall help thou overcome the troubles that have befallen thy kingdom.”
“Troubles? Do you think it’s just my life on the line, Princess Luna? You think we’re doing this just to get some extra food and power? This invasion is our entire species' last gambit at survival! There is no retreat. There is no peace.”
A faint buzzing caught my attention and I turned to see changelings flying over to where we were.
“I didn’t want things to turn out this way, but I was left with no other choice.”
“If what thou sayest is true, then Equestria will do all it can to help thy kin, thy changelings.”
“Do you expect me to believe that? I cannot allow this all to be for nothing. I cannot allow the fate of our species to lie in the hooves of those we have invaded and preyed upon. I’m no stranger to what we’ve done; I’ve walked these streets and watched it happen. Ponies, if freed, would call for our blood, not work together. As both Prince and High Marshal, I am responsible for everything that has happened in this invasion...
“And if they don’t demand our death, I know what happens to a people entirely dependent on a stronger force. Slavery, systematic oppression, colonialism. I will never let that come to pass, not while I still draw breath!”
“There is not even a chance of that happening, Prince Phasma. Not while our sister and us are in power. We have safeguarded the races of this world against such horrid ideas, yet thou claim that they are an inevitability? Thou needn't look further then Equestria’s own history to see this as a falsehood! The ideals of Harmony have always been upheld, and they always will!”
“Back to praising a reportedly sapient force of nature, are we? As I said before, I will not risk the future of my species on the chance that you’re correct and ponies will play nice after we’ve invaded their homes, foalnapped them, and put them into eternal slumber.”
The sound of hooves hitting cobblestone sounded out behind me as the approaching changelings arrived.
“This is goodbye, Princess Luna.”
“Phasma, please listen to us! We do not wish thou to follow in our hoofsteps, thou must stop this before thou art killed! We don’t want to lose thou...”
As I crouched low and replaced the bindings on her muzzle, the sadness emanating from her intensified. Her teal eyes stared at me, pleading for me to change my mind.
“It’s all or nothing. I will not relegate my species to servitude, nor will I give into fate. I needed Nightmare Moon to help me secure the survival of my species. I don’t need a powerless alicorn who can only beg for the victor to keel over and die.”
I stood back up and spun around. Coxa, Tarsus, Lacewing, and Oestridae were standing in the street.
“Hello, guys. It’s been a while since we last talked,” I said while moving towards them.
“Not that long,” replied Coxa.
“It has been a while for me,” Tarsus reminded him.
“Hi Phasma, it’s nice to see you again.”
I returned Lace’s smile, “You too, Lacewing. Everything alright in the Conquerors and the Infiltrators?”
Coxa shrugged, Lacewing nodded, and Tarsus looked at the six ponies bound up on the side of the street, then looked at the alicorn behind me.
“You’ve been busy, Phasma.”
“Extremely. Two alicorns down, one to go.”
“Three in total? There’s only supposed to be two…”
“This here is Princess Luna, formerly Nightmare Moon, sister of Princess Celestia.”
“Nightmare Moon?” Coxa and Lace ask at the same time.
“Remember how I told you I had a plan for dealing with the Queen? Nightmare Moon was to help me defeat her in combat. We had struck an accord of sorts.”
“Now what?”
“Now the plan has changed. We’re on our own.”
Tarsus quirked an eyebrow, “What are you two talking about?”
“The plan to secure the safety of not only myself, but the hive in its entirety.”
“I… don’t follow.”
‘Did I forget to tell him? That’s quite possible, so much was happening in the last few months.’
“Remember how we broke into the vault?” He nodded. “There was a second chamber, built into the floor of the records vault. It contained… My brothers and sisters.”
“Brothers and sisters?”
“They… they were alive, in the broadest sense. Queen Chrysalis had lobotomized them, ripped out parts of their brain to inter them within the confines of their own bodies. She pumped pure love into them, and used them to project the Weave throughout the hive.”
Tarsus blinked.
“That’s. What. What?”
“She butchered her own children. Dying but unable to die, I ordered them freed from their curse as we left the hive. But Chrysalis, she’s not to be trusted. There was an empty spot, an empty tomb. Chrysalis is planning on betraying me and making me suffer the same fate as my siblings.”
“How can this be true?”
“Chrysalis isn’t loyal to the hive, she’s just pursuing her own goals and plans,” Coxa explained.
“Chrysalis is the hive!”
“We changelings are the hive,” I replied.
Lace added, “Chrysalis is just the ling in charge, and the hive says we want someling else!”
“Queen Chrysalis must have had a good reason for doing this…”
“No Tarsus, she doesn’t. There’s no reason that could possibly warrant what she did. And now it is time for a change in power. Chrysalis has outlived her own loyalty to the changeling race, she must be dealt with.”
“You’ve got to be missing something here,” Tarsus mumbled. “This can’t be her plan. She wouldn’t risk everything to just betray you...”
“So what happened to this Nightmare Moon? ”
I sighed, “Well Lace, I created an alliance with a powerful alicorn. Turns out, she was less powerful than she claimed to be. She promised an army, yet I see none. She promised her blade, yet she’s dead and gone, with Princess Luna here left behind in her departure from the world.”
Lace’s head tilted to the side as she asked, “Left behind? Whaddya mean?”
“Nightmare Moon was apparently possessing Luna, or something similar to that.”
“You allied with a pony to defeat Queen Chrysalis?” Tarsus spoke up.
“Chrysalis is planning on giving me a fate worse than death. We must act before she does. I have laid the foundations for this seizure of power, now all that remains is to enact it. Right now, she is dueling with Princess Celestia. We shall strike at once when the duel finishes. Either Chrysalis will win, and we will sweep in and kill her, or Princess Celestia will win, in which case we will sweep in and capture the pony princess.
“Tarsus, I need you to send the word to the Infiltrators in the castle loyal to me to capture Intelligencer Ocelli. Tell the Infiltrators you find that the red dawn has arrived, they’ll know what it means, or they won’t and are disloyal. Just play it off as the dawn of the Promised Day if pressed.
“Coxa, tell Captain Cicada of the Will of the Nine to muster in full strength at Canterlot Castle foyer, he is leader of a Lodge and will help us out. Lace, I need you to check the castle for Captain Obturator, I'll need to work with him ASAP to figure out how to control the podded population after the war is won. He should be poking around the medical wing. If you can’t find him, just head to the rendezvous point instead. Oestridae and I will take down Chamberlain Eucharis and Commander Scorpion of the Praetorians, leaving Chrysalis with no close supporters.
“We’ll all meet up in the castle’s foyer before we take on Queen Chrysalis. After she is dead, we will send word to the other Legions of the East and West push, and tell them to enact their arrests of hardcore loyalists. Everyone clear on what they have to do?”
"We go in, we stab her until she's dead, we leave. Seems simple," Coxa chuckled.
Taurus nodded, but was still clearly mulling over the Ascension Chamber’s contents.
"You and Oest are going to fight the Commander?" Lace kicked a pebble across the street as she spoke.
"Yes."
"Then... Be careful, and stay safe Phasma. You too, Oest."
“Not going to be much safety where we’re headed,” Oest said.
“Still, all of you be careful.”
“This is it then. We meet up at the foyer, then we’re really doing it?” Coxa said as he lifted off the ground.
“Yeah. This is it. The end of Chrysalis’s reign, what we’ve been planning for all this time.”
“I’ll go get the Nine then. Do not start the fight without me, I want to watch!” Coxa turned and flew away.
Lace gave me another hug.
“You keep giving me those and I’m going to think you and Thorax are related. Brother and sister, perhaps?”
“You’re just so huggable, Phasma!”
“So it would seem. Don’t worry Lace, everything will be fine. Stick to the plan, and remember what I told you and Coxa what you should do if…”
“You just said everything will be fine.”
“It will. Just… It will.”
She broke the hug, “Yeah. Maybe after this, we can... Uh… I’ll see you soon, Phasma.”
“See you,” Tarsus said briskly.
Lace and Tarsus started to fly up and over to Castle Canterlot as well, Lacewing giving me a little wave before turning away.
As I watched them start to go, a stray green focused-will laser beam bisected one of the towers near the throne room. A fireball was launched from the tower itself, flying overhead. That’s when I saw the fireball flap, as if it was a bird. The yellow and orange mass of fire then circled above us, seemingly looking at me, before flying off Westward and disappearing into one of the large plumes of smoke stretching high over the city.
‘Was that a bird made of fire?’
A voice startled me, “It’s finally happening, My Prince?”
One of the Will of Nine watching the Bearers asked that. In truth, I had forgotten they were still here, safe in the knowledge that I was surrounded by loyal changelings.
“Yes. I’ve changed my mind; Move these prisoners to somewhere secure, not the Castle itself. Spread the word to fellow Lodge members as you go, then meet back up at the castle’s foyer, too. I’m going to need all of your help to take down the tyrant.”
“It will be done, My Prince!”
I gave them a nod, and they started to grab the ponies with their magic. I looked back at Princess Luna. She was shaking her head slowly.
‘Sadness I could drown in. And… something else. Something clinging to each wave of sorrow...’
“I taste love,” Oestridae whispered.
I sighed, “Nightmare Moon and I… We…”
“I think I understand,” the ling of few words patted me on the back. "Though she is the wrong species..."
I turned away from Princess Luna and took to the air.
“C’mon Oest, let’s go find Chamberlain Eucharis. He should be lurking around the castle somewhere.”
HA-HAAA! The wait is over! Finaly the chapter is out!
10654184
Mhmm.
Before we get started, does anyone want to get out?
this is where everything goes wrong
unfortunatly he is making the choice which makes the most sense from his stand point. also is anyone else suspecting that his sister is the one who is saveing/keeping the others alive? i mean phas doesnt know more that a look and some notes so maby his sister is using him to try be rid of chrisalis?
10654186
nah we all in this until the end may it be swift and painless
10654186
that mean more chaps in rapid sucsession?
There is just too much chaos going on if that won't weaken discord seal then i don't know what will.
10654190
I'll try to get them out on schedule, but they may vary in length from 2K words to 5K. The Arc finale in particular is probably going to be a long, difficult to write chapter.
This is so sad. It's looking more and more like everything is going to fall apart... for everyone.
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
Interesting, where is Philomena going?
Luna may not have access to the Weave, but as dreamwalking is ever-so-similar...
Hmmm I suspect that lacewing is going to... die but that's my assumption, but that's how it is looking to me,too chipper to end well.
Something is going to happen, something big yet we dont know what.
Its definitely not the battle between them all (celestia v chrysalis v princeling) would be too obvious, something else is going to happen.
10654187
Yes, but for who is it going wrong? I hope that Phasma somehow comes out on top, and that he can work out some kind of deal with Luna, since I belive her to be the more reasonable of the princesses right now.
10654188
Her death did seem a little convenient. And considering how easy it was for Phasma to get into the Vault, she probably could have as well and set up that room. It would also explain the convenient “deaths” of the rest.
10654223
also if she needs children to use for the weve's stablility it doesnt make sense for her to raise them insted since she can exelerate growth she could have make the perfect children to do so the just disposed or replacd them if her new child is better for it (messed up but logical). maby his sister has a plan like to become immortal in the weve and in the subcontious of all creatures?
10654231
Sounds very much like what a daughter of Chrysalis would do.
Great chapter
10654235
could also explane the love shortage after all if i read it right then the siblings are either suspended in love or pumped full? if that was his sister in hideing then she had to steal it
10654248
That could also explain why Chrysalis is only taking action now. Because either she wasn't aware of just how much they were losing, or only recently was a lot of love being taken. Or maybe it has always been a lot of love being stolen, but recently the love situation got significantly worse for some reason, and that caused a lot of issues with the love supply.
10654193
just take your time no need to rush really what you are doing is a intresting take and it will be intresting to se where it goes from here
It went good. Luna may have a nightmare feeling, nightmarish memories do not make her special (after all, he was not original). he chose his own species rather than being a slave. The harmony system is like communism or something. You're not in a genre club, so you're inferior. It's a pity they killed the nightmare and gave a weak version of Lune.
If this one is going to be tasting the rainbow he must go out like the martyr he is.
For the first fang!
Fantastic as always.
This, as someone else pointed out, is looking more and more like it'll fall apart for everyone. I'm worried; before, it looked crystal clear that Crissy was the pure evil, but now the flaws in the conclusions are being pointed out... and its becoming a real "Oh no" situation... Oh no
This is the point of no return. Now let's see how it goes.
YES! Beautifully done. I think Princess Luna and Prince Phasma both have good points, but both can be wrong.
Phasma is working from a human perspective while Luna is looking at it with a pony perspective, one that may have become severely outdated due to her being banished for 1,000 years. It could be that everything Luna said was true, but it could also be that the ideals that were being upheld were dropped like a sack of bricks during her imprisonment on the moon. The same could be true for Phasma, he's attacking the problem with a perspective of a human from a more advanced civilization that has had a much more colorful history to learn from, but his human views of forgiveness may clash with pony culture.
It's not one of those arguments where the author is blatantly making their point look better or worse by favoring their own argument and making the other one look like a cobbled mess of straw men juggling stupid balls. Both Luna and Phasma have good points and neither of them necessarily hates the other for their view. Phasma believes that Luna wants what's best but that she's too naive and trusting to see the big picture, while Luna believes that Phasma is naive as well and is still trying to cling to the love she held for him. As a side note, perhaps she sees redeeming him and the changelings as a way of trying to rectify her own sins and start a journey of making amends to the creatures who fear her.
We do technically see pony forgiveness in action with the Elements when they followed Luna without question, but that's mostly because of her connection to Princess Celestia. Time and time again, at least in canon, ponies have been shown to be pretty spiteful towards their own. I mean, Trixie boasted a bit, (which is what a performer is supposed to do) and then her entire career was ruined because two young colts dragged an Ursa Minor into town. Then again, there's no way of knowing if the show's logic will be the one star K-Stutter-Slider will follow. It's their world and they'll be able to shape it however they please, and I'm looking forward to seeing what masterpiece that One-K-Short-of-a-bad-group-Slider can create.
Eh, he could have hedged his bets a bit here for the Changelings. One lodge worth of Loyalist should have been send away with Luna and the Element bearers with instructions to release them in a weeks time if no word reaches them and then submit to their mercies. This would have been really good ace in the hole for the hive to survive if the worst was to happen.
It would have made for a lot of convenience for most likely outcomes. If Celestia wins a hostage, if Chrysalis wins a secure position and potentially ally to gain, and if he indeed wins himself then convenient ace in the hole and potential leader you could convince to take charge of ponies and maybe keep them more compliant for everyone's benefit.
Great chapter, the end of the arch is going to be intense.
I suspect that Procho could be chamberlain Eucharis, as he would be in a powerful position to deflect love unnoticed and be aware of Chrysalis' decisions.
unfortunately I have a feeling that Phasma will realize this too late and that she was responsible for the current state of her brothers
Either that or Cadance and Shining expel all the changelings with their love shield because philomena freed them
Oh right ,now that Nightmare Moon is out of the picture Lacewing is becoming the queen
Ha, choke on it Luna!
Just because Luna has memories of someone who loved Phasma doesn't mean that Phasma will love her
10654345
Just going to comment on one thing since I can't really comment on analysis of characters nor predictions,
You would not believe how many times that joke has been made in the ~10 years I've had this name. Triple digits.
10654205a
Not exactly
Windows and Mac or Linux are similar but that doesn't mean they are the same thing .
They all are OSs and there connection ends .
Sure they can communicate in a way ,or use the same apps but there are limitations and requirements like rewriting the whole apps .
The Weave is changeling only and Dreamscape can be learned or be born with the skill to use it.
Weave ▶✅Dreamscape
Dreamscape ▶❌Weave
So the Weave is more secure and changeling only, while Dreamscape can be used by anyone
10654422
Ooof. Sounds rough Kit-Kat Slider. LET'S SEE IF WE CAN BUMP IT UP TO FOUR DIGITS!
10654186
I dont get it... But im in...
10654187
LoL... that a bite late... I would guess everything went wrong when Changeling kind slipped into emergency rations...
10654188
That plus Phasma is pretty mutch a empty paper only filled with skills,archivments & pragmatism! Perfect to create a hive together. Queen and King ...just... without the romance
10654189
Were is the fun in that But seriously that would be strange and anticlimatic BUT hilariouse
10654190
We can dream...
10654191
Pinkie Pie? Random CMC? What are the fillys doing i wonder?
CMC Invasion Resistance Squad!!!
10654193
Take your time... We cant get enough and even if you Uploads daily twice we dont get hyped more...
Or do we?!?!?!
Only way to find out making it 3 times a update per day
10654205
Luna might be talking everytime Phasma is going to sleep ? Dreamcuddles for the win ♡♡♡♡♡
10654196
Unless... But perhaps... Although... Than again...
By the way... Love DBZ TFS
10654209
Nuuuuu... I ship her in Phasmas herd/harem/swarm clusterrr
10654219
Wona puppy eyes for the win ♡
10654231
Bloody hell... Were did you get that idea
10654235
True
10654272
All of it has it ups and downs...
10654323
Meh... It already a desaster. Phasma makes the best out of a trashfire... Speaking of fire... The Changelings remember to kill the flames and dont just drop all efforts... Riiighttt? Riiiiiiighttttt?!
10654426
Very interesting. So, as you currently theorized, there are certain paths that one can follow to these separate planes. There's assumably a one way street from the Weave to the Dreamscape, and perhaps a way from the Dreamscape to the Weave, likely a very difficult road full of twisted turns, dead ends, and confusing street names. It makes me wonder if Discord's chaotic dimension is also connected to the streets that connect these realms. We know Discord is able to access the Dreamscape via his own dreams in the comic, and there's some physical connection from Discord's realm to the mortal plain since mail men were able to find it, and now I'm wondering if there's a way to use any one of those realms to access that weird space time corridor that made Twilight an Alicorn. So many questions, possibly no answers.
At this point, someling will be saying 'even in death, we continue to serve'.
10654354
That a plot twist i didnt see coming... Kinda ironic if it happen since this story line would have preventing it from happen later and actualy speeding it up
Oh no..............
What if Fluffle Puff will save Chrysalis?
https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2020/5/27/2359685.webm
Wait that's the wrong one
derpicdn.net/img/view/2017/3/12/1385166.gif
Nope
derpicdn.net/img/view/2014/10/4/735773.gif
Close enough
I thought that there is one where Fluffle Puff fights Celestia or something
10654325
True.
I wouldn't be surprised if Luna and the elements all being taken prisoner makes Celestia overreact even more than before.
10654448
AT LAST, BACK TO WAR
10654455
10654426
Huh... Nice
10654432
Yesssssssss ♡
10654448
Damn - fine - line ♡
10654438
i think you find it generally went wrong when chrysalis became queen, but i was referring to our prince whole plan, it already failed and he not got any real contingency prepared so he gonna lose allies, maybe his life or even the changeling race could lose big
10654455
VICTORY IS LIFE
With you and your sister!? Get off your high horse!
Let's take a tally, shall we?
Buffalo: exist in a small tribe whose land is being taken from them as we speak. Nearly every pony frames the Buffalo in the wrong for daring to want their land back. Those not thinking them in the wrong? Stop being sympathetic once the Buffalo concede half the rights to the land...
Yaks: exists in a small, primitive, isolated tribe and distrust ponies... i wonder why?... they are, supposedly ignored by Equestria as a whole. There is no public diplomacy done between rulers till Twilight.
Dragons: seems to have some "live and let live" treaty going on between leaders. The dragon lands are still dangerous for ponies and dragons have little regard for them even in Equestria. What's worse? Watching them migrate is like watching birds or any other animal and the ponies keep trying to get dragons to see the right way of thinking; the pony way... they also seem quite primitive but if they are as strong as advertised they don't need much.
Griffons; live in destitute conditions of their broken empire. It had to have been going on for quite some time; the giant creature that made off with the artifact had bleached white bones. Celestia either left the artifact or never even looked. Why? Probably because the artifact doesn't follow pony ideals. Any relief attempts were likely failures due to griffon greed. The icing on the cake? Young griffons are allowed (parents probably paid) to come to Equestria schools and get indoctrinated by Equestria ethics. It is no surprise that two of the top three most agreeable grifs have spent time in Equestria. It would not shock me at all if Gabby went to flight camp making it all three.
Seaponies/Hippogriffs; the rulers at least seem to know each other. Though that doesn't say much as Luna didn't know about her for several years. Clearly there is no active diplomacy; the mountain looked decrepit from neglect so it had been years since rulers talked or any diplomacy at all with anyone.
Why should he look at your history? It will be 2 or 3 years before Equestria gains a single political ally courtesy of Twilight. Equestria stands alone with poverty, strife, hunger and more lingering outside every border. Unless you're telling us your the social butterfly of the pair then a thousand years ago wasn't much better. Your history would only show what ponies do to ponies...
It would not surprise me if their primitive abysmal conditions are a direct result of actions that Equestria, and you two, have taken against any foreign power that did not throw away their culture for yours.
If the invasion goes as planned who will fight for Equestria? Dragons are the only ones with the strength and numbers. Buffalo will call them heroes. Yaks won't know. Grifs won't care. Harmony is strictly a pony religion; nothing more. Sure there is a tree and elements but in Luna's context she truly believes it like a religion that you must follow or no help or friendship will ever come from ponies.
10654461
START AT 5:46
10654474
You know ,out of spite Phasma should teach everyone,changelings,ponies the word balance.
Balance acknowledges light and dark as equals ,no one can't exist without the other,etc.
Considering that ponies harmony don't consider chaos part of it....
Is this even harmony or just order,that makes more sense for them ,calling it harmony to sound nicer?
10654451
The most unexpected twist will be if one day after the capture of Equestria, the alicorn Twilly appears. And she will start looking for the map, saying that all this is wrong, about which Starlight Glimmer, and in general, changelings should not have been here since there was no Sound Rainbow, about the butterfly effect. And Chrysalis didn't plan on having a child at all, and Phasma appeared by accident.
10654483
Yep. He could. Humans are chaotic enough. Harmony is about different chaotic forces moving together, synergisticly supporting each other. It is no surprise that each bearer is so different from each other. Celestia has brought order by a lack of chaos. Equestria is not in harmony with anything; they directly subjugate nature and anycreature dumb enough to cross paths with them. It is unhealthy psychologically for humans and is probably why insanity runs so high among ponies.
10654438
if he ruled with his sister woundent it be like luna and celestia? also the thing about controled growth is an example of what could be done with both the acceleratid growth and surgery that his sister or mother did. i only brought it up due to the fact that if she could accelerate growth and had the skills to make the young royals pretty much servers it would make more sense to have blank changlings that dont need to be anything else exept a server for the weave.
The point im raising is chrisalis takeing the time to raise and teach (even if he was accelerated) phas kinda contridicts with the plan to make him a server at the end so either this isnt chrisalis doing such things to her children and likely his sister
or we could be wrong in assuming the royals are servers for the weave?
anyway if it turns out phas long lost sister is the big bad then i hope we get a love bubble by phas and luna insted for the ending but to be honest ill be happy with the ending given as the story is fun and good so far so im content to see how it ends
10654469
10654455
GLORY IS ETERNAL
10654483
Then The Rise of Grey Jedi Knights would bring order to the force.
No such thing as dark or light, only the force.
No Order, Nor-chaos, only balance.
