...though I guess there's a sort of irony to be found. One of the celestians stated "wounds from those things kill". Pyra was wounded in battle by one of them and that is the only reason Slight got the opportunity to kill her.

I completely forgot that that was said. Now that you mention it that is rather ironic.

[Frost]

Well, just finished chappy 4.

That transformation scene was really unsanitary. It really strikes me as something you want a licensed physician either conducting or overseeing, especially when it comes to the wings. Plus, it's probably not wise to be breaking ribs before you go yankin' wings outta folks anyway. The HR department there has to be completely complacent.

[Frost]

And now, in chapter 5, that one-eyed raven is clearly Odin or some shit. It's at least symbolic.

[Frost]

I mean, Odin is associated with ravens, known to shapeshift into many forms (including various animals), and missing his right eye (even when he shapeshifts)
 
It would have been slightly less obvious for the raven to walk right up and say "Hi, I'm Odin."

[Guest]

Yeah, I know that raven is important, but I have no clue why.

Last and I have been thinking that Birdy, the raven, might possibly be her pet or her guide.

[Frost]

Not to say I disliked it, just saying that Luna's bad at medicine.

[Guest]

It is unfamiliar to her now, but we were thinking that later it would be like a pet or a guide for her and Chase.

I didn't mind the transformation, not my thing and kinda uncomfortable but it wasn't bad.

[RoboRed]

It gave me the weirdest boner. 

[Frost]

So, yeah, now I'm caught up.

Anyone else foresee this 'ritual' going horribly, stupidly wrong?

[Frost]

Or they find a howling mad goddess already losing ground to the real Luna, who is now crushingly depressed and caught somewhere between despair and remorse. Goldie Song Slight and Chase might just turn themselves in in utter despair. 

Though that wouldn't be very fun to read

I enjoyed conviction stayed up late reading it, time for bed nighty, the stars will aid in her escape

[Guest]

Oh come now, there's nothing weird about enjoying that whole sequence.
I did, too!  

I've never seen you use yourself as the norm before Swicked.

I'm pretty sure I've said this before but, since everything I am, think and do is perfectly natural to me, I am (by default) the most normal person I know.
So yeah, what's your point? Have you seen me claim to be particularly unusual before? I don't really care for the idea that I'm anything special, really.

Yeah. Once or twice. And my point it was unusual and therefore worthy of note.

[RoboRed]

So...yeah...um...

Yeah, that was... tough, even though I saw it coming, I still wasn't ready for it quite yet.

[RoboRed]

That bearer of Honesty is frightening.

[Guest]

I've seen a couple. You mean the whole deal where the crow carries a soul back from the after life? Or I think that's what happens. I know the crow brings people back to life fuzzy on the details though.

[Guest]

They all pretty much follow the same plot. Just the circumstances of the main character's death are different.

[Frost]

Well, I finally got to reading the chapter. Apparently, Honesty can be hurt by fire, and given how much I hated his fight scene (He won not by his skill or even his dumb, brute strength, but by handing the Idiot Ball to Chase and Slight) I'm looking forward to seeing him burn alive.

Conviction fanart. Found when searching derpiboru for batponi: https://derpibooru.org/427373?scope=scpe7181168e61e53ba95297ebbfa2de4c5497643cae

[Frost]

That's some damn nice art. The ribbon does look cute on her.

[Guest]

Awesome. Looks like the manestyle I came up with did catch on.

[Guest]

Oh wow, that is a a really nice piece. I like what the artist did with sword, it fits.

[RoboRed]

New chapter!!!

Oddly, the story didn't update on my favorites page for some reason. Had I not been looking on my blogposts/new stories tab, I wouldn't have even known that it updated. Anyways...

Just started reading this. Just wow. Anyone kinda think that Song is a lot like Psalm?
And why did Stygus attack Pyra as he was dying?

[Guest]

Stygus attacked Pyra in an attempt to kill her. Her guard was down so he attacked, as a final attack it didn't work but it was worth a shot.

[Guest]

Just started reading this. Just wow. Anyone kinda think that Song is a lot like Psalm?
And why did Stygus attack Pyra as he was dying?

I wouldn't say that. Psalm very clearly knew or at least believed what she was doing was wrong she constantly begged luna to forgive. Goldie shows none of that. She does what she does for nightmare moon and that makes it right.

But both have almost blind faith in what they believe Luna/NMM can do. And wow, that EoH character.
Forgot to ask, but is this some AU where Celestia is ruthless? It just bugs me that she would allow a Kill-All order, even after defeating her sister.

Psalm? Yes. Goldie? Keep reading. After blackrock it seemed she was more following Chase around because she had nothing to do or anywhere to go then blindly having faith in NMM.

[OneMoreDaySK]

Hmm. So now either she learns to live with Celestians, or try and vengeance her comrades by going afther the Elements. Methinks the latter. So we've seen three of them so far: Pyra(Loyalty), that badass(Honesty), and the cassanova(Laughter). Celestia is possibly (Magic). Wonder who the other two (Generosity) (Kindness) will be.
