Description
This comic series is a side story from this comic series: [link][Part 1 - Rook ]
[Part 2 - Crabapple ]
[Part 3 - Luau ]
[Part 4 - Rose Petal ]
[Part 5 - Winter Willow ]
[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!

If you read Twilight's report in my gallery, I explain that Celestia herself planned to play the role again but passed it on when she met Twilight and saw her potential.

*pants in exhaustion* Sweet Mother Epona, this has been a truely epic ride to read in one night I can hardly wait for whats next.
This all tallies with the hints and what I can puzzle out from the edges of the show canon, and so incredibly well too!

I've worked hard to make this all match with how the show works. For example, why the elements of harmony were useless, abandoned, stone lumps sitting unguarded in a forest.
Fun trivia: the next comic is 96% complete.

Once again you cease to amaze me with your work Nimaru. This has been one of THE BEST MLP Comics to follow, and I can't wait to see what you have come up with for the epilogue . . . but I'll also be kind of sad because it will be the last comic strip to the story lol.
"The Fall," was just brilliant, as were all 6 of the other comic strips! You've done such a great job with this whole comic: the whole story idea, the plot line, all the characters, and how you managed to tie everything in so it fits perfectly into the original MLP story line. I mean, just everything about this comic is epic. If only Hasbro would hire you to get some ideas and input from, it would make MLP even more awesome than it already is. 
I love to see your deviations pop up in my message box, keep up the great work Nimaru!<3

I think it will be worth it. It won't be as dramatic, but it's got a lot of depth in parts.

Say?...
Got any Cupcakes?

I admit that Crapabble scared me just a little bit when he was angered (but I can understand) and what he did (speaking for the Princess to the others, so he could protect her) was just great. And the part with the pegasi flying to help Celestia made my heart jump. It was truly touching.
Gah, I want to see mooore

I'm working on it. It will resolve things nicely.

Im totally gunna nitpick here, "in their hearts we entering a new era."
shouldn't it be "in their hearts we are entering a new era"
or even "in their hearts we entered a new era"
again, just a nit pick, a .000000001% of 1 out of 100.
Still it brought tears to my eyes man. I love how every bit of it works completely in the realm of Equestria, and could possibly be canon. Every thing is beautifully drawn or painted, and the style is almost identical to the show. Fantastic work.

Bugger... Writing is HARD!

The picture of Celestia falling is absolutely stunning! You should make it it's own picture, it would be a really nice wallpaper,
Anyways, this comic is seriously one of the best written and drawn I've ever seen, you really have talent!
