Awesome!! This was such a great chapter to read! I hope there are more chapters to come!
2736369 Thanks! That means a lot to me!
Amazing start! Please keep writing!
2738072 Thank you so much! I'm hard at work on chapter 2 now.
This looks interesting! I'm real excited to know who this "Nephilim" is, and what his role was in nearly exterminating the Alicorns. I always liked the idea of Alicrons being a distinct and mysterious race that disappeared long ago, with some exceptions.
I discovered this story in the Christian Bronies group, and I wonder what sort of spiritual elements will be added. It's a nice refreshment having the Princesses not actually gods or anything, and instead another almighty take their place in the story. Angels and demons are exciting!
Good start my friend! Lord knows my first story didn't go as swimmingly.
But if I may offer some constructive criticism, you might want to format your chapters. You know spacing between each paragraph and giving each character dialogue its own paragraph. Makes it a bit easier to read and follow.
Good luck!

1.Thank you very much for the constructive criticism. I'll try and apply those changes today.
2. I did join the christian bronies group because I am a christian, however, I didn't mean to put this story in their folder. I didn't think I did. The reason being is I don't think it'll match what their looking for in a story. I would take it out, but I don't know how.
3. I do agree about the princesses not being portrayed as gods. I prefer them to just be alicorns. To be a god means you meet the standard of perfection, and perfected characters are boring characters.
4. All of that aside, I do really hope you continue to read this regardless of the fact I put it in the wrong folder! Thank you for your time and comments! Be blessed.
Wow. I love it already. This is great. I'm really looking forward to reading more of this. I don't agree with the portrayal of The Order of the Alicorns as gods, even though in your comment you said you did, but it still looks incredibly intriguing. Here, have a favorite. :)
Oh, and 2743837, the Nephilim were creatures in the Bible and was another name for the people group who inhabited Canaan in biblical times. They were the giants that the Israelites were so afraid of. Also, the are semi-superstitiously known as the ancestors the the creature we call the vampire. There is a lot of lore behind them. You should check it out. :)
2746810I think he meant he agrees with me in NOT thinking they're gods, but people have the their own preferences and headcanons.
And thanks for the little trivia there!
2746993
No probs! I must have read that wrong. In that case, i agree. I think I came up with a pretty good explanation for their god-like power in my story. Merely my preferences and interpretation, though.
2747293 I worded that a little awkwardly. I changed it so it wouldn't be as confusing. Almost done with the next chapter.
2747293 Also when I get the chance I'll read your story too!
2747793
Sounds good! Thanks!
Getting into a bit of Norse mythology, are we? I love it. Looking forward to chapter 3!!
2753641 It's as the old adage says, "It's gonna get worse before it gets better."
Yes. I like this new fic
Well, slight review time!
^... slightly OOC. After all that magnificence you've set up for her, this just destroyed it.
Woa... that attitude from him will surely get him fired. Rude much to the Princess.
On actual comment, he is kinda rude, and I understand Celestia's benevolence to tolerate it, but then, she says thank you? o.o... whut... seems awkward to me.
I like this. You made her normal. You actually made both of them quite normal.
So far, quite the built up, but I see the nightmare thing too reoccurring already, so originality points -0.00001... not that it makes a difference, right? XD
Overall, first chapter's about a 4.999 out of 10, 1 being a fic with EXTREMELY POOR writing, and 10 being me reading some sort of ingenious work. I will read chapter 2 soon.
^ "... perfectly fine," INSISTED THE SOLAR PRINCESS.
Also, for stuff like thoughts e.g.
Italicise them.
Welp, that someone clear things up a bit, but calling the Princess by the first name is quite unacceptable, even by modern social standards... tread carefully, my friend.
^ either "... little pony." Celestia stated, or "... little pony," stated Celestia.
oh god. CHRYSALIS... not CHRYSTALIS o.o
Missing punctuation.
Ragnarok?... really? Celestia bore a foal named ... Ragnarok? A foal that causes "the final destruction of the world in the conflict" (source)?... That's... just... WHAT? o.o Careful. Not all names can be used any way you want it. Nephilim is fine though.
Overall, it's still plagued with errors :/ But with a little more practice, you'll avoid them in the future :) So far, 5.49999/10 XD
Keep writing.
With utmost profession for perfection and passion,
Ice Cube.
2764204 I appreciate you review, and that you've pointed out some of my errors. Sometimes you just need a second set of eyes to see some things that you can't. In reference to how Quick Note treats Princess Celestia, I intended it to be that way. There will be more relationship development between the two later on to reveal why she does/can talk to her in such a way. Furthermore, I understand the meaning of the name Ragnarok. I'm using it for a reason. That reason you'll find out partially at the end of this story and the beginning of the continuation once this is finished. Apart from that your review was very thorough, and I appreciate it. However, I do have one complaint. The one thing I've noticed with reviews is that many times people bring up the things they dislike, but not the things they like. If you didn't like anything that perfectly fine, however, I would appreciate it if you listed both because it gives me a greater understanding of what I need to alter or keep. Also, when one only discusses the negative sometimes that can seem like your being a jerk. I know personally your not, but it can come off that way. Thank you for the review, and your time! I hope you enjoy the rest of the story as it progresses, and please keep giving me feedback!
Sincerely,
Vanguard_Of_The_Night
2764204 Okay I fixed all the mistakes that you listed plus some others that I found. Thanks you again for the review. I was really hoping someone would come along, and do a review like you did. I don't know very many people on this site, so trying to find someone to review this story that will be someone who will do a good job kinda worried me. However, you have really helped me. Thanks!
Great !
2775713 Sorry for the late read !
This is getting pretty intense. ^_^
Hmmm... interesting. Love the "slice of life" moments between two sisters. (unfortunately we have no Luna emoticons in the basic set)
...this isn't gonna wind up being like The Immortal Game, is it? (Awesome story, but extremely dark due to on-screen (as it were) deaths of certain characters, as well as Mind Rape of my favorite ponies... ) They do get better, but... it still leaves scars.
2833194 Glad your enjoying the story so far! I have no idea if it ends like that other story or not cause I haven't read it. However, what I can tell you is that the next chapter will be uploaded this week. I've been loaded down with work, and I also went on vacation so I ended up putting this on the back burner for about two weeks. Don't worry though it's coming back in just a few days. And thanks for the complement on the slice of life moments with the sisters. I really wanted to establish that they're not always formal. Their normal beneath all the royal garb.

I haven't even started to read the story and the description already has me wanting more. Its better than mine. Keep up the good work.
2933383 Thank you so very much for the compliment!
Are you still writing this?
3381057 Yes I am still writing this. I am currently in a Paramedic program, and I have been so overwhelmed with school I haven't had the opportunity to log on. I'm so sorry I haven't had the chance to. Soon I will upload a new chapter. Hopefully within a week or so.
