Very ominous ending...needs moar chapter.

NinesTempest said...

I can't wait to see a continuation of this. The premise seems moderately original, and NMM is an interesting force here.

YES! Original concept! Equestria is not the only country on the pony planet ruled by alicorn deities. I find this idea of divine political tension to be very tantalizing.

Nichon said...

Great start. Looking foward to more.

Moon Shine said...

I love the story so far. The addition of the winter alicorn kind of made me weary to continue at first but as I read until the end I kind of enjoyed her more.

Delta Pangaea said...

*agrees with Moon Shine*

The presence of another Alicorn is sort of a warning bell, but this seems to be rolling well. I'm interested to see how it plays out.

DessertFox said...

Seriously can't wait for more.

This story should have more comments than it has. Solid OC entries. The four seasonal alicorns is a nice touch.

Pears... Funny what makes you crack up late at night.

Nick said...

Sethisto is such a silly pony.

Seth, go home and be a familiy man.

Get some sleep. :)

Reminds me of the time Cereal broke the blog and a picture escaped the frame. Paer 2 indeed.

Paer 2! Just what I've been... wait...

Patty said...

I'm looking forward to new installments, because I like where this seems to be heading... Also a fan of the idea of more alicorns around, but each with different responsibilities is a clever touch. :)

ahhh yaaaaay.

I'd missed this story on my search thru the archives, solid read.

Specter Von Baren said...

Nice that you're working with the idea of the seasons being controlled by some power, I've only ever seen that used very briefly before in a rather short story. Something of note though, Aurora questioned the idea of someone being able to control the sun and moon but why didn't Snow Drift think of the year before? When Nightmare Moon came back, it was before dawn and she made it so the night was twice as long, surely the ponies of these other nations noticed something like that.

Hmph, Winter Chill seems to be blinded by revenge since she seems to not acknowledge the fact that they've been playing on the Celestia's remorse and love for her sister which she shouldn't have if her allegations were correct. Unless of course Dead Leaves has been funneling misinformation about the state of Celestia's feelings and thoughts.

Where is the Summer alicorn?

GreatSnapper said...

@Specter Von Baren
I went back and watched the first couple episodes again after I read your post. I had forgotten that Nightmare Moon had extended the night. The way i had remembered it the whole thing took place the night before the Summer Sun Celebration, so I goofed there. I wonder if it lasted all day and the next night too, or if Equestria just has a different day/night cycle now, since Celestia raised the sun at the end of the episode.

I need to find someone to pre-read this thing, since I can't really tell when I'm making mistakes like this.

As for Winter Chill, she has had a long time to brood on what happened and for her memories of the events to become twisted. Whatever her motivations may be she feels justified. Also, she wouldn't want Snow Drift to see her as the villain.

@Kitty Kat

Summer will show up eventually. Her part hasn't started yet.

Thanks to everyone who has read so far!

This story doesn't get near the attention it deserves. After past sins, it's my favorite in progress one.

Specter Von Baren said...

@GreatSnapper

I'd be willing to lend a hand in the regard of pre-reading. I'd love to be able to give you input and fix any small errors for ya.

GreatSnapper said...

@Specter Von Baren
That would be super helpful! I'm working on part four at the moment so the timing is good.

Specter Von Baren said...

@GreatSnapper

Just E-mail me the link for editing and I'll get on it when you're ready for me.

GreatSnapper said...

Okay, I'll need your e-mail though (unless it's listed in your profile somewhere and I'm just blind).

You can pm me on my fanfiction.net or deviantart accounts if you like, I'm GreatSnapper on both of those as well.

Wierdplatformer said...

Aww man, now you have me on the edge of my seat!

Heh, literal cliffhanger, nice.

Specter Von Baren said...

*sigh* A shame that more people haven't commented.

Patty said...

Ooh, this is shaping out to be pretty good. My guess is that Dead Leaves is somehow related to what's been going on with NMM, but I'll probably end up being wrong. :P

MaSc said...

this is so great, cant wait for Part 6!

Specter Von Baren said...

Hhm... you didn't send the fix to me to look over before posting. Did ya forget?

GreatSnapper said...

I did in fact. I haven't updated in like two months and sort of forgot. I'm working on the next chapter at the moment though so you'll be getting that one, since it looks like you are still following it. Thanks again!

Sanakan said...

This is excellent so far. Looking forward to new chapters, keep going sir!

gclaw4444 said...

i would very much like to read more of this, any word on when next update might be

Klice said...

It becomes nicer chapter after chapter ! The OCs are quite nice, even though I don't like the idea of other unicorns (and the evil manipulation of the two sisters, they have enough struggle to bear with, already !).
But the all things work pretty well alltogether and the OC ponies are nice, as I said.

I hope for more frequently updates !
Merry christmas !

Rainbows said...
