Dino Days


I like writing, reading and dinosaurs. Scratch that, I love dinosaurs. Like a lot.

A vengeful demon steals Starswirl the Bearded from his pleasant afterlife and shoves his spirit in a book.

Starswirl is secretly elated by this.

Not so much once he meets the pony he'll be staying with for the indefinite future.

Ooh, this sounds promising! I wonder what kind shenanigans our dear Swirly will get up to with young Sparklebutt? You have my attention.:pinkiehappy:

Excellent. Now that I have your attention, you'll be too distracted to see my accomplice robbing your house! Muahaha, everyone thought this plan would fail!

5620171 Mwahahaha! But the joke is on you, for the only thing of value I keep is this laptop you have so thoroughly glued me to with your story!

5620178

Foiled again... perhaps a life of crime isn't the life for me.

5620184 Umm... I seem to be a bit stuck. Would you happen to have any glue remover?

5620193

I'm afraid I'm all out at the moment. I used it all up after an incident involving Twilight's horn and a rubber chicken.

5620202 Poor Boneless, Pinkie was broken up about that for weeks. On the plus side though, we learned that barbequed rubber chicken is delicious!

Soon, my friend. I'm about 2/3rds done with the next chapter.

the greatest magical unicorn of his time teamed up with the element of magic and greatest unicorn/alicorn of her age? nothing can possibly go wrong.. btw..starswirl demon summoning..sounds like another day in ponyville :trollestia:

:trixieshiftleft:
:trixieshiftright:

(I'm always happy to see more Star Swirl love :derpytongue2:)

interesting enough for me to slap a face thingy on it lets see which ones we have. :derpytongue2: Derpy!!!! they have derpy that is awesome!!

I want this story, more chapters NOW!

5621930

B-but I just updated like an hour ago... :fluttercry:

The last ghost in the library story I read slipped into the Aether, never to be seen again. I have high hopes that this story will continue.

5621977

I have a feeling I know exactly what story you're talking about, and I'm terribly upset that it hasn't updated in so long.

This looks like a quite promising start. Why do I have a feeling that Twilight is going to have her expectations shattered much like her mirror once she gets to interact with Starswirl and the old crook turns out to be nothing like she expects (same probably going for his journal, heh).

Hey, this is very good! I especially like Starswirl's character and how his voice was developed. You have a very engaging prose style, I hope to hear more!

Also, have you ever read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Your writing seems like you might draw influence from that, or at least that certain "British Humuor" that is lacking here in the States. I like it!

5622288

Actually, I've never read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I've been meaning to for ages, but I never really got around to it. Thanks for reading. I hope I can continue to entertain you with this story and any ones I happen to post in the future.

Now, considering I'm absolutely shameless, I'm going to capitalize on the fact that you seem to respect me as an author and point you in the direction of this blog post.

This is what you get Twilight! You opened his book and now you're cursed to be forever haunted by a slightly annoying wizard with a big ego.

5622530

Don't forget the sense of entitlement.

According to what's been revealed about him, you caught Starswirl personality perfectly!
Congrats!

5621933 S'what you get for giving us a cliffhanger...

You're getting a thumbs up for the 'and he's not important either' bits. I haven't seen anyone do that in a looooooooong time. :rainbowlaugh:

Just imagine all the sex you could have in the after life if it existed! You could be any gender and screw anyone, anyway, anytime! Oh, and your story is interesting. Fav.

What an inept demon to not bound his soul properly.

5623013
Idk. Binding might be fine since he appears to simply be a manifestation. I take it Starswirl isn't quite the pony Twilight would have thought considering his reaction. It also seems a wee bit out of character for her to get all combative. I guess they're both in for a surprise.

That wasn’t a simile. An invisible being was rising up from the ground, the glass shards being risen along with it.

I don't think 'simile' is the word you're looking for. Maybe 'metaphor' or something else implying that the figurative language is meant literally. Either that or just describe it without unnecessary comparisons.

It also seems a wee bit out of character for her to get all combative.

That'll be explained in later chapters :twilightsmile:

5623013
Well, he is bounded with the book, not sealed within the book. There's a difference.

5623122

At a guess, I'd say she is still jumpy after the whole Tirek ordeal and much more paranoid about having something happen to her new home as well (and thus more gung-ho about protecting it and its inhabitants at a moment's notice when it seemed like something weird was going on, rather than simply Rainbow crashing through a window).

Not much here yet, but I'm sold on what there is.

More!

Hmmmm, this has potential...

Best mail call ever.

Yeah, I'm definitely tracking this for more, it looks like it could be a lot of fun.

"I love Dinosaurs. Like, a lot."

Who doesn't?

Less than a day back and he already broke a Princess.

Remember bud, you break it you bought it.

Oh god... this story is just getting better.

“We killed Sombra once, we can do it again!”

She then uses her ghost-finding spell and sees he has listened to her, and Starswirl finds out he can use the wendigo-ability: Freeze, causing him to fight back and winning without even trying, because he is Starswirl. Fluttershy then panics and grabs the next book( Starswirls journal) and closes it so she can hold it in front of herself. Because she closed it Starswirl gets sucked back inside.

I guess you could say his plans weren't that CRYSTAL clear.

Interesting story. Last chapter to short in my opinion.
Let's see what you have in store for us, Dino Days^^
