log[07:40:08] But the villain turns their personalities to 1000%[07:41:26] Each one being a Harbinger of a certain evil element. Rarity is theHarbinger of Pestilence, where she enforces charity and beauty of all things. Those that will notdonate or share will grow ugly and despicable in her domain. Pinkie's the Harbinger of Insanity.Joy is enforced like the law, and all ponies must smile even when they're feeling sad or afraid.[07:41:37] A sort of "Too much of a good thing" situation[07:42:59] Applejack would be the Harbinger of Mistrust. Lying is a crime in herdomain, even if they don't know they're lying. Misinformation of any kind isn't tolerated in theleast, even if its ignorance.[07:44:17] Fluttershy is the Harbinger of Fear. She is their mother, their guardianangel. She keeps all close to her and shelters them... for the rest of her world is filled with maliceand terror, and so all else are sheparded into her care. She treats them with kindness, for the restof her world is cruel.[07:45:46] o.o'[07:46:46] Rainbow Dash is the Harbinger of Agony. A millitary Cloudsdale isher domain, with an army of brainwashed, unqestioning, unblinking pegasi serving her. The restof the world can't be trusted, only her army is truly loyal.[07:48:47] Even after Twilight fixes them, the villain's magic is still bound upinside of them, and tearing them away from this overload of their true selves makes them suffer,so she makes a deal with him and gives herself up, in return for freeing her friends. Thus, she

becomes not a Harbinger (being too true to herself) but an Avatar of Hate, warping her form totake on draconic qualities just like his group, the Foul Five.[07:49:24] .__.[07:49:49] xD And no, the whole series isn't a bunch of "OH NO GRIMDARK"stuff.[07:51:03] There's great moments teaching lessons, real lessons, aboutfriendship. I'm just hoping that one day I'll get to commission it before all of them are taken byHasbro...[07:51:14] hehehe[07:51:17] I hear you.[07:51:46] lol, ya...[07:51:53] Luckily I can still work around it. there was an idea that I had wheretrixie came to town, yearning to right the wrongs she did in the past, so she asks to become

Twilight's apprentice.[07:52:14] wow that's a hell of a pride swallow.[07:52:36] Well, when you've been forced out of every town you've worked in asa luaghingstock, you get desperate[07:52:43] In my original idea, one of the Foul Five convinces her that there's ashort cut to using powerful magic...[07:52:51] By giving her a tome of spells[07:54:58] I'm going to get going in a little bit.[07:55:06] Have to go watch something and cry.[07:55:13] I am so not ready for this.[07:55:23] ?[07:55:41] That's okay Sol, I'll keep telling my stories to the other ponies, likeFluttershi and Nightwisp.

[07:56:08] what do you mean?[07:56:19] I wanna talk to you about the arcane weapons though.[07:56:27] sometime soon.[07:56:32] Sure![07:57:01] Oh. I'm going to watch the last episode with David Tennant. I'mprobably going to cry.[07:57:10] Unfortunately, as she reads the spells, she gets more and more likeher old self, and even worse. And the spells create chaos around her. She eventually dueled withTwilight to a stalemate, but the Foul Five member Serene, also known as Raging Storm, takesthe tome after it's absorbed both their magical energies.

[07:57:44] PkasP joined the channel.[07:57:44] Celestia sets mode +o PkasP[07:57:46] Serene, by the way, is the most powerful spellcaster of the Foul Five.She's not the leader, but she is the eldest.[07:58:13] WALL OF TEXT BRAKER[07:58:14] xD[07:59:00] Now, that was my previous idea of it... But we can't have a magicalduel, since, well, already been done[07:59:04] .__. ...oh my...[07:59:29] So instead, she's trying desperately hard to impress Twilight, thoughshe fails miserably every time. To make matters worse, she's not exactly on good terms with anyof twilight's friends.[08:00:33] She desperately wants to learn a teleportation spell, but no matterhow hard she tries her magic just isn't good enough. Twilight tries to assure her that it's a verycomplicated spell, but Trixie wants to learn the hard stuff so badly! After all, every time she triesto make a getaway, all she can do is use a smokescreen. xD[08:01:12] In comes Serene, convincing Trixie, a pony who's used to earningthings the easy way through fast talking and illusions, a shortcut with apowerful tome of magic.[08:02:06] She gathers all the ponies in Ponyville at the square, inviting Twilightas well. She wants to throw a magic show and use her new spell! however... When she reads the

text, it's not a teleportation spell, but a trap that encases all of the audience in a magic bubble![08:02:47] It pretty much goes the same way after that. Twilight, Trixie, and adisapproving Rainbow Dash try to take on Serene.[08:03:43] Serene shifts into her Foul Flank form, the one that is more dragonthan pony, and battles with them. She still wields the tome, which gives her strength just bypossessing the ancient book.[08:03:46] 6_9[08:04:46] ?[08:05:03] Trixie, at a point of desperation, and seeing her new teacher introuble, finally thinks of someone other than herself for once and accidentally triggers theteleportation spell, knocking the tome out of Serene's reach. Without the book to protect her,Twilight banishes Serene from Ponyville with a spell of exile![08:05:16] What happened to NightWisp?

[08:05:46] In a way it's almost a reflection of how Twilight didn't considerfrienship important, but found the magic of it and gained the strength she needed to fight off evil.[08:06:10] Ugh[08:06:15] Life distractions x_x[08:06:16] And as the princess celestia was twilight's teacher, Twilight taughtdear Trixie. x3[08:06:24] There you are~[08:06:25] At such a good part, too..[08:06:40] me grins.[08:06:46] NightWisp hides from life by crawling under Sol`ade[08:06:46] okay seriosly.... why do I keep doing that.[08:07:24] Trixie stays around in ponyville, serving as a minor character of sortsthroughout the arcs, though she does get her time in the spotlight in a later episode when the

Mane 6 are captured, and it's up to her and all the minor characters to save the day![08:08:14] Gilda, Trixie, and the Flim Flam brothers![08:08:34] I wanted to think of a fifth character, but nothing seems to come tomind.[08:08:38] ...? doing what?[08:08:39] Always a place for a continuation.[08:08:47] the joy of stories.[08:08:52] And yes, Gilda also gets her own redeeming episode, as does theFlim Flam brothers.[08:08:58] Rescuing the mane 6 of course!

[08:09:03] Sol`ade leans down and nuzzles NightWisp's head.[08:09:07] I could throw in Discord to join them. xD[08:09:11] That could be fun[08:09:19] Sol`ade whispers. "I have to go, I'm sorry."[08:09:36] At any rate, I'm in a story telling mood, so I want to go on aboutGilda's story. Anypony object to this?[08:10:02] Not if it's logged ^^[08:10:09] ok, good luck... see ya in a bit[08:10:22] No worries Sol, I'll log it for ya[08:10:48] As always I will pop in to say goodnight to whomever remains.[08:10:57] for the rest of you, I will see you on the morrow.[08:11:19] G'night, Sol. Here's hoping I don't lose power when the blizzardcomes[08:11:27] Now then... Let's see... Ah, yes[08:11:27] another one ? >.>[08:11:33] be safe, my friend.[08:12:22] ?[08:12:27] bye~[08:12:28] Gilda's attempts at finding new "cool" friends has failed miserably.There's no pony out there that meets her standards. She can't stomach the sweet, kind

tendencies that most ponies possess. And yes, I did think about those 3 bullies up in cloudsdale,but I'm pretty sure they reformed, and even then they're kind of... dimwitted for her tastes.[08:12:30] o.o' oh my, yes, take care[08:12:34] Sol`ade has quit (Quit: Let us be immortalized, in song and story, and hopefullyremembered...).[08:12:46] :
