Nothing is True, Everything is Permitted
Octavia, a young cello player during one of Equestria's most artistic eras, is confronted by a strange hooded woman. After this, her world is turned upside down as she learns that Equestria is under a secret war between the Templar Order and their quest for Absolute Equality and the Assassin Brotherhood who fight for Freedom. Both want answers from her about her suspicious past. Octavia must brace herself for what could come from these bold organizations and these mysterious "Bearers of Harmony" she keeps hearing of.

6595212
more of a Templar myself
I personally think she'd look dashing in Shay's robes.
This comment is part experiment to see how many down votes it can get in a day.
6595629 then I shall up vote you!
And hopefully the concept of the Templar won't be too bad after some time in this story.
6594778 nvm ;P *jjmps off church and lands in hay and lives*
Mattpat: THE PHYSICS!!@
Why does this story chapter date say june 30
6596164 I'm a timelord.
Well, I wrote this a while ago. Some wanted a sneak peek so I published it in June to show them.
6596343 oh ok whens next chap
6596378 Tonight. I have the first 4 chapters already written.
6595746
Thank you. Your quite kind
Love the accents in this, And I love the world building even more.
6596820 Oh good! I sometimes worry that the dialogue would turn some away since it's odd.
If you like world building, I'm sure this will satisfy. I love world building myself and I use it a lot in my stories.
Assassin Scratch just pulled a "Poof! Gone."
6598098 Vinyl: "Now ya see me, now ya don't!"
Octavia: "I still see you..."
Vinyl: "shuttup. I'm not here"
Nice chapter.
6598138 Thank you kindly. Expect more this week since I got the next one ready.
6596386 really nice
6598197 Awesome.
Poor Octavia, she will be having nothing but trouble with Vinyl until she gets her answers. It makes me wonder how much Celestia actually knows about the secret war that is going on?
6598970 Well, this is different from the original. So anything goes now, right?
ohhh assassin magic
6599168 spooky.
6599168
Nope, she just got lessons from Batman.
6599207 yea
6599367 yea i know assassin and batman magic
Flash, can't you get a hint? NO ONE LOVES YOU.
6604378 Haha! But he is a good named Royal Guard to use when you don't need an OC.
And we can...well... try to give him a personality.
6604454 fair enough. All good oc names are taken......
Hmmmmm
So, I'm a bit confused. Is this a prequel to Harmony's Creed or a separate universe altogether? It's just there are far too many similarities for me to assume they aren't connected
6606898 Actually, there is already little similarity because of the Two Sisters. Octavia did not know them at all in the original, remember?
No, this is a whole new animal. This is the Harmony's Creed I've wanted to write for a long time.
6606967 Ah okay, cheers. The title threw me off a little but I can't wait to see what direction you take this down
Hmmmm celestias bieng a bitch
Wow did Vinyl screw up. I feel that if she had been more discreet in her actions they could have better found out about Octavia now she is on guard against the Assassins and could easily fall in with the Templars.
6611407 to who? All I see is a woman who is uncertain of her affiliations.
6611480
"Dammit, Vinyl! You are ruining my plans!"
6611506
Poor Twilight she always seems to catch some flack. A sheltered life leads to a lot of interesting moments for her.
6611506 hmmmm oh wrong story *teleports to another story and teleports back*ok great story
Just to make sure, this is an AU to your other story, right?
6612529 yes surie. You will definitely notice a difference in these upcoming chapters. I don't know how far you are in the original, but I can tell you went by the Minuette, arc. Well, that character is NOT an Assassin in this version. Also, Starlight Glimmer is nonexistent in the original as well.
You may think of this as my second attempt at using the same characters to tell a different story.
6613513 ok. Ive read up to the last updated chapter, both of these stories are amazing.
6613722 Woah, you read fast.
Well, I'll tell you here, don't expect shards to enter this at all. Only Elements of Harmony and...
....some artifacts.
Photo Finish is totally gonna bail her. Right? ....Right?
6643230 .....
Uhhh.....you'll just wait and see
Do I feel sorry for Octavia here. She always seems to get the short end of the stick when all she wants to do is live in peace. Ok Twilight how are you going to make amends to Octavia for this? It makes me question why Octavia would ever want to associate with you.
6644105
"Well, we you see them, yeah...I'm surprised the whole nation isn't with us."

Twilight a wise saying goes you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make them drink. So far I see you making calls that could drive the very people you are trying to save right into your opponents waiting hands. Please ask Fluttershy for advice on how to better handle things around poor Octavia for a bit please, so you don't fall into the trap your alternate universe counterpart did.
