-Author's note:

Gentle readers, thank you for reading my story so far. I hope to keep up the release of a chapter at least every other day. Additionally the story is reaching a crossroad, eventually the story will intersect with the other three prime elements, which one we cover next water or fire I'll let the audience decide. Additionally a certain bearded pony and a clever pony will be introduced in the next chapter of the Great Slave King.
