OMG THAT WAS AMAZING! I have never read anything so capturing. please make some sequels.

WOOOOOAAAAH MIND BLOOOWWWWWWN! SO GOOD :D all hail the mighty Fausticorn creator of all good and evil

And so, Princess Trollestia was finally got trolled!, ALL HAIL THE TROLLING QUEEN, HER ROYAL HIGHNESS QUEEN TROLLAUREN FAUST!

Great chapter, I do hope to see more in the future about this, and even if this was actually the end, then this was a great story!

A hard lesson in life to accept is dealt in this chapter. I find myself at quite the reflective philosophical pedestal. When put in this moral situation, sometimes I feel a lot like Nagato in Naruto. I have suffered, I have lost, I have even been the subject to betrayal by my own friends and family. Suffering is something no person should ever have to deal with. However, the inverse, the lesson, that suffering is "normal" is an often nearly impossible to accept truth. In the end, being mortal and nothing more though, that truth must be accepted; we have no choice. This of course prompts the isolation reflex, we have no choice but to accept suffering as normal; which promotes the desperation. The dark and often consuming step that some of us never escape from. Darkness sometimes consumes our hearts and we never see the light, because we never are strong enough to accept the impractical truth.

One must always remember this though, and I think it is the lesson Celestia forgot whilst living so long...We only are able to experience the light. We only are able to know the joys of friendship, the bonds of family, and the bliss of love; BECAUSE we also are exposed to the pains of doubt and loss. This sometimes unacceptably cruel world we share is without doubt: evil, cruel and flawed. However, it is also bright, warm and joyous when we find the strength to climb from the consuming darkness.

Nova Force, thank you again for a stirring read. It does not have the feels of Big Sister Rainbow, but it has something else I like much more. It has prompted me to smile, honestly something I don't usually do unless in the midst of something wicked or self promoting. Once again, I find motive to smile for hope and not for strength in myself. Rather than my reflection of today being "bring it on...I can take it;" I think for a little while, I'll be able to say "I am ready, for a new day!"

Don't be afraid to catch me on skype or anything else...and the next chapter of Arcana will be up as soon as I find the time. Adjusting to a new job and work schedule, but I will never stop the joy I have found in creative writing.

Oh I did not review the previous chapter and now we are up to nine! Oh wait I remember, I didn't review because I was feeling down on my one sentence or single praise reviews. Nova I am still loving this story. We have discussed this in pms and you are so terribly right. There are not enough stories containing Fausticorn. Very few stories even give her a passing referance. So she isn't Canon, Faust is the reason we have MLP FiM at all, and thusly Fausticorn should be amply acknowledged as well.

I wonder how Twilight Sparkle will handle the information that is soon to be divuldged to her. More importantly, I really hope that it is actually Celestia who will tell her and not NMM in desguise whom she just hugged. Oh I dislike NMM so much, she is so powerful and so regal, but oh so cruel as well.

You've got her pegged...and make me hate her more and more!

I've always hated NMM...

Lets hope that Celestia's answer and Twilight's friends keep her from going mad

Interesting. But, Alicorns are also part earth pony

"It never hurts to ask, right?" words to die by Twilight Sparkle. You may be prodding into realms not for your analytical need for comprehension.

Pardon my french but shizzit just for real...awesome!

Well taking the stars away from Luna was a slight downer but this is cool. Can't say I have ever been a fan of monotheism, but I am not going to start a faith discussion on ...that be pretty pathetic of me. Nice chapter, nice story, I wonder what's going to happen next?

Oh an origin theory...I look forward to this.
