[Adventure]
Author: The Descendant
Description: When they began to read the ancient book Twilight and Spike only had the slightest of ideas what it could possibly be about. As the illuminated inks revealed to them an image of Princess Celestia locked in combat with a massive dragon and his sons they realized that the song written upon the aged pages was telling of a long forgotten battle...The Song of Syhlex
... and that the Celestia they know and love is capable of things they dare not imagine.
Inspired by the image By Celestia's Might by John Joseco.

Sweet first :D
ReplyDeleteseems epic, well, i'm with NLR so anything showing Celestia in bad way has a small +, not considering that her fighting dragons in a epic battle told by a song sounds epic by itself.
ReplyDelete"when they began to read the ancient book...."
ReplyDeleteWhy does thst seem familiar?
At least Celestia gets some focus from the fandom without Luna or Discord involved.
Zap.
ReplyDeleteI read this a couple days ago and I loved it XD
ReplyDeleteSuch an excellent story, and in such a unique fashion, an old timey song. I absolutely loved this story, and it's just another reminder of the high quality writing I expect from the Descendant.
ReplyDeleteSo, this is why you don't screw around with Celestia fresh off of banishing her sister, I take it.
ReplyDeleteA GOOD READ
ReplyDeleteAn Adventure story? I'm in!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I remember seeing this on FIMfiction. If it's good enough to make it to EQD, I've gotta read it.
ReplyDeleteI read this a few days ago. It is awesome.
ReplyDeleteExcellent job. Good, full-blooded stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut there's some typos. You need less "less" and more "lest". :) Also "breathe" is the noun. Also 'Tis (for the contracted i in "it is") or t'is are both correct, though 'tis and 'twas, or tis and twas, are more common and also correct. Also "against your kin". Also "litter and ruin". Also "aid" is the verb.
Love your work and want it perfect! This is good stuff!
I mean, "breathe" is the verb and "breath" is the noun.
ReplyDeleteSigh. I forget which law of the Internet says the spelling posts always have misspellings and grammar posts have grammar errors.
This story is exactly why I love Celestia so much.
ReplyDeleteDescendant, well done. I absolutely loved it =).
Read this a few days ago on fimfiction, it is the most awesome rendition of Celestia I have read yet.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm not even sure that the framing narrative is necessary, as the epic poem itself stands quite well on its own. I really like the Sol Invictus portrayal of Celestia, which doesn't show up in the fandom nearly often enough. Fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteI will read this when I get the time but for now...
ReplyDelete*drink*
Hey, those of you who speak Latin, quick question. Which is correct: Celestia Invictus, Celestia Invicta, or both?
ReplyDeleteThere need to me more stories about Celly kicking ass like this one.
ReplyDelete@Celestia Well, Twilight in another fic (I forget which one) knew full well what you could do. I remember the lines well: "I always knew that if you wanted to, you could destroy me." Celestia winced. "But I also knew you never would."
ReplyDeleteI always recall that line when reading stories of your's might, gracious Solar Princess. :3

ReplyDeleteInvicta. Invictus is male form; Invicta female.
