[Part 2 - Crabapple ]

[Part 6 - The Garden ]
[Part 7 - The Fall ] <==== You are here
[Part 8 - Epilogue ]
SO MUCH TO SAY!
- Willow did NOT use "the stare" on Crabapple. She does not and never will possess that particular ability. She used something else that will be more clear in the final comic
- This is the second longest comic I've made, but this one required some crazy angles, posing, and artistic ability that really pushed me. I know it's not perfect, but dang... I'm proud of what I've been able to do (especially in the painted parts).
- For those who've been asking: this comic took more than 60 hours, used 436 photoshop layers, 10 custom backgrounds, 154 different pony poses, and... whew. Lots of stuff.
- If you read my original series and the "Luna's Reports" series, you know that the elements inhabited the ponies themselves after their use. You can see each pony showing signs of their new abilities immediately afterwards. These will be explained in greater detail at a later time.
- For those who read the original four comics, didn't you ever wonder how Celestia got down from space with that broken wing? Now you know.
(also note that this comic was planned from that time, I just couldn't fit this all in so I made it it's own side-story.
Thanks to Hasbro and for the wonderful world of ponies!
Thanks to for a lot of inspiration!

Thanks! I was really happy with how that turned out

Are the pegasi circling her on the ground, or did they make a tornado to provide an increased head-wind to slow her fall since she was still moving fast enough that trying to do so via direct contact would only have resulted in the pegasus in question getting splattered over the landscape?

A tornado... yeah... Totally that!

Every time I see the panels of all the Pegasi rushing to aid the Princess, I won't deny, I have to choke back tears.

It was more epic in my mind, but my abilities are limited... which is why I do this. Trying to learn art

It's not difficult to image how epis it was in you mind!

So much great stuff here, again! I won't repeat what I've already commented on, but know that you're still great in all of those ways, too! In addition to that, I was really noticing in this one how your Celestia looks younger than the one in the show. I can't explain how, but it's clearly appropriate, given the 1000 year time difference! I also wanted to say that I like how you do some scenes, those being recounted second hand rather than actually witnessed, are drawn in less detail. It's a great effect!

im curious but what did crabapple mean by 'never again' when winter willow fainted?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mostly that the events of that night would never be allowed to occur again. He was going to change the world if that's what it took. And then he did

and thus the royal canterlot voice was born
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Actually, they used it before then. That's part of the distance I was talking about since the royals used that to commonponies. What CA is doing is EMULATING it which gives him both attention and authority.

Brilliantly done. I love how everyone supported the princesses as she fell and I like how Crabapple managed to create a new era with words alone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the words were a beginning anyway
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
With the beginning being one of the most important parts of an era.

Fifth last panel I found this mistake.
I swore once again that for as long as was able, I would do anything in my power to lessen her burden.
I should have been this I believe

Yeah the writing is always hard, but I think I made more mistakes this time
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
this one i have to say really touched me because of the hope and care that all of the ponies felt for the princess in her time of need and the overwhelming inspiration Crabapple gave to everypony

lol is that pinkamina down there at the end of the background XD and love the comic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
People keep saying that, but I didn't intend it that way. She's actually the nurse pony who was getting yelled at in the Hospital scene.

oh ok thanks for telling me that

No worries. I think it's cool how people have found interesting things that even I didn't think of.

love this so much how many more pages do you think you'll do?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
One
But there are more things to be done so no worries.

Gotta be one of the greatest pony-related comics I`ve seen on DA.

Willow obviously used Bribe. It's super effective.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol! The reason is clear in the epilogue. She has an advantage over him that she doesn't know about yet.

You: Hush, child. All will be revealed soon...
Me: BUT I WANNA KNOW NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW *views Epilogue*
Me: Oh...
You: And THAT is why patience is a virtue.

When I scene with all the pegasi rushing towards Princess Celestia, I got that feel, that feel good tingly feel, that movies spend millions to make, right here in this comic.
....wow...

Chills some call it. But yeah, I've been planning that scene since the original comic, but I knew I couldn't fit it all in. Thus this side comic.

Weary and determined, I got back to my feet.
Feet...
FEET...
Oops.

crap. I tried so hard not to mess that up... but I guess at least one was inevitable.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, it's fine. Don't worry. I'm sure that even as diligent as I am, I have made mistakes in my fics.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hoped so. The scenes towards the end are things I'd planned since summer last year when I wrote the original comic series.

I was wondering, if Luna and Tia are the moon and the sun...what are their parents? Are they something more? Are they meant to be the skies themselves or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Luna and Tia control the moon and sun. I picture the parents BEING the moon and sun to a degree. Why do you think Celestia and Luna can raise and lower them so easily? All they have to do is say "Hey Dad! Wake up!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh right, that's a really cool idea actually. Thanks.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow that was so good. It's a great story; I can really feel the characters coming through.
And I like that silhouette-style of drawing ponies in the crowd scenes. Is there any chance of getting wallpapers of any of your favourite panels from the series?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably. What did you have in mind?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. Some of the more scenic pieces, like the last panel on this page, and the one with Celestia falling (to the right of "She's falling!" with such pretty colours). Or maybe the stylised one with Celestia chatting with Rose in part 4. Or the yin-yang-like scene of Celestia and Luna. Just nice things. Or not. Whatever you like.

Oh my god, I really don't know what I should talk about in first place, between the circle of love for Celestia, the vision of horror seen by Willow through Celestia deepless despair and each carely "hand-crafted" characters:
You made dirty my room by blood because when i read the comic, my head wasn't able to hold enough the Epicness, the Awesomeness and the joy coming from this comic and it blew up !(hopefully i didn't die from that )
Really, thank you !
However, i don't get it something, if each element of harmony is hold by the bloodline, where come from the 6th element if there were only 5 ponies at the begining, plus Celestia.. oh wait ! Don't tell me Celestia is going to have a child ?! (or she will just give her element to someone ?) GOD this will be even more Awesome !
