Story: Age of Terra (Update Part 7!)


[Grimdark][Adventure][Sci-Fi]

Author: Scoopicus


Description:
It's been many millennia since the lord Terra had carved out the realm of the Underworld for the subjects of a tortured world. Now Mason, an extraordinary unicorn with a unique weakness carves out a hollow existence for himself in what he has only ever known as "The City," a land stricken with violence, poverty and corruption. But when a careless mistake brings him close to death and lands him in the hooves of a pacifistic pegasus named Angel, he inadvertently thrusts them both into a world of unimaginable strife... and eventually, a realm beyond the threshold their imaginations.

I am looking forward to future chapters. It's a good thing I'm not first or else I would not be able to comment... *HINT HINT*

Patty said...

This is shaping out to be quite interesting; and I would love to find out more about this 'Terra' figure, as well as what happened to the Princesses' rule in future chapters.

I feel stooooooooopid what does OC stand for?

OC - Original Character. That is, somepony the author/artist created and who isn't in the show.

@Cameron Strathdee

Thank you!!! I knew it had something to do with not being in the show, but could not figure out where the O and C fit in '_'

from the description it sounds like it has its base in the warhammer universe. grimdark, gritty, violent, sad. This terra is probably Celestia by another name. Either that or Luna took over the responsibility for the Day as her sister passed. Who knows. I'll have to read this for real eventually.

May the Paladin order of Equestria watch over your soul. For who knows what lurks in its dark corners.

Delta Pangaea said...

HAVE we actually had a Warhammer 40k crossover? I mean, seeing how much we seem to like fitting ponies with the most egregious things possible, I'd be kind of surprised if we didn't.

But yes, this story.

Cheer up, emo pony! You're a main character now!

I was skeptical starting, but I have to admit that I've been hooked. There seems to be plenty of interesting things waiting in the world. I can't wait to hear more.

SCOOPICUS!!

Glad to see a fellow Bungie.net brony writing good stories.

All mine fell flat on their ass.

Scoopicus said...

Glad to know my Bnet bronies are loving this!

Patty said...

I'm surprised that this has so few comments. It's shaping up to be quite good.

@Patty

Personally I'd say it's because this story does a pretty good job of living up to the grimdark tag as well as focusing entirely on OC ponies instead of the Mane cast. It's a good story but it probably won't get much attention because of these reasons, unfortunately.

Vopogon said...

There's something terribly wrong here.


1: NOT ENOUGH COMMENTS
2: NOT ENOUGH STARS
3: NOT ENOUGH CHAPTERS

Seriously, the only reason this has a 4 star and like, 15 comments is because it's an OC. Gimme a break people.

Unknown said...

This is a damn good story. Vopogon is right, this is better written than most of the crap that gets on here, and it has like no attention.

You all suck.

This morning when I came to check up on the updates of the stories that i am following at the moment. I was everything but hopeful to see an update but when i saw that this story was updated it made me feel like a pony who just got his cutie mark by protecting Sugar Cube Corner from Diamond Dogs who where trying to break in for the rock candy. And after got a big bag filled with candy and a party from none other than Pinky Pie joined by the 5 other Main 6 and the Princesses. All summed up this was my reaction

Why hello there, good sir. Mason is an even better character now.

TIS BULLSHIT

Oh man, its nice to know that this story isn't dead. One thing I do have to ask, though, are there going to be any Ork (Hogz?) or Eldar (Deer?)equivalents? With the introduction of techpriest Ironside I just gotta wonder what else is going to pop up.

Scoopicus said...

The techpriest is just a subsidiary of my uncreative nature when it comes to inventing names. While this was influenced by Warhammer 40,000 somewhat, it is not a crossover and has no correlation to Warhammer 40,000. I will tell you this now though, you are in for a lot of surprises in future chapters if you keep reading. I plan on keeping this going for a long time.

Gramis said...

want more please. this is a very good story!

Scoopicus said...

I will continue to release chapters, I assure you... though they will take a bit. Damn this procrastination!

Scoopicus said...

Alright everyone, here's the deal. I'm getting myself a title card for this, and new chapters won't be released until then. I hope you all are willing to wait until then for new chapters, though. Thank you for reading to those of you who do.

AlicornBob said...

I am completely in awe by your writing. I honestly no longer have patience to wait for your next chapter.

Fear said...

I need to read this so very badly.

Saint Ragnarok said...

THIS IS BEST FANFIC.

WHEN WILL MASON AND ANGEL MAKE LOVE?

THEY NEED TO MAKE LOVE, SCOOPI.

THEY NEEDS TO DO THAT>

Dookums said...

I MUST AGREE WITH THIS "RAGNAROK" FELLOW.

ALSO, THE TITLECARD IS DEAD BABIES AND YOU NEED TO CHANGE IT.

AND CHAPTER 8 WOULD BE NICE.

AlicornBob said...

@Dookums

The Elder Council of Fates has decided that a "Chapter 8" is now mandatory.

Failure to obey the orders of the Council will result in immediate action.

"Ragnorok" - Skyrim reference? Either that or Norse mythology, which Skyrim has a large amount of references to. Except, you know, the whole "a cow created the gods by licking ice" thing...
