Ah, so *that's* why the ponies have to do everything personally in most of the world or nothing changes.

Great chapter! The creation of the Elements of Harmony was suitably awesome, and everyone's speeches to the God of Death were awesome.

Hm, it's not complete yet either...I look forward to the last (?) part.

oh wow that last line gave me chills

Amazing! Excellent writing by the way... and everything lines up and makes sense! I love it!

Nice start!

Ah, I love the god of breaking rules' speech. And it's a nice touch of mythos how they are able to pass each gate using the traits of the elements. I also like how breaking this very central rule brings a dire consequence.

Is that the birth of unicorn race is see coming? ;)

Another fun installment in the myths of Equestria.

Hmmm. A very interestingly-portrayed story- love the allusions to Greek mythology and such- with a very interesting form of narration. Though you haven't named them as such, I do believe these characters are supposed to also remind the readers of Discord, and to a lesser extent Celestial and Luna? If so, this is an interesting exploration of the possibilities in the rise of the Princesses. Not a huge fan of how the character resembling Luna was born, to be honest, but it does have something of a mythological vibe to it- it makes the reader wonder how Celestial and Luna really would get so close as they appear in the show, if something like this were the origin story, in which their relationship wasn't quite sisterhood but something more complicated and bizarre?

Love the work as always, can't wait for more! :)

This is one of the most creative stories I've ever read. I love the classic fairy tale vibe of it!

Hi,
I'm kind of surprised this doesn't have any reviews on it, as it is quite an interesting little story. I love the manner in which the tale moves like an old fairy tale, or a Greek legend of sorts, especially with what I can only assume are Discord's attempts to free Celestia(?). Kind of an Orphean vibe, but not without the typical level of gods playing off of other gods that would come from this sort of a situation. All in all, loving it and applauding your skills!
