Description
[Part 1 - Rook ][Part 2 - Crabapple ]
[Part 3 - Luau ]
[Part 4 - Rose Petal ]
Part 5 - Winter Willow <==== You are here
[Part 6 - The Garden ]
[Part 7 - The Fall ]
This one took some serious work. About 30 completely new OC ponies in varying degrees of distress. Oh right...
WARNING - This comic is a bit severe. Don't read it if you want to spoil your good mood
Note that I don't intend to get this grim often, just that considering Nightmare Moon collapsed large sections of the castle and who knows what else, it's likely there were some serious injuries.
A few things to note: There's a pegasus in the rafters who looks pretty upset. Her name is Whirley and she's a cameo from this comic: [link]
After reading that heartbreaker, I always wanted to give that poor little pony a hug and now I have
Also, Rose is invisible for the entire duration of this comic. At the end, the pony observing believes that Willow is running away screaming. She also makes a snide comment which is a hint to the political landscape of the time (healing ponies don't think much of "emotional healing").
Lastly, I'm enormously pleased with myself. This turned out very artsy and awesome in parts. It was mostly an accident that I thought of some of the arrangements and effects, but I think they turned out really well!
Oh... lastly, lastly: This was actually supposed to continue beyond this point, but the comic would have been too long and it already took an extraordinary amount of effort to do this much so I'm going to stop here for a bit. The next comic will have Celestia again
IMPORTANT! The thing in the tubs is soiled bandages. That's why they're cleaning them over by the river. They're not organs or some of the other things people keep asking me
ALSO: The pony with the paper in her mouth is looking for a pony with that cutie mark. Before you ask if she ever found her, here's the answer: [link]

Wait...so Last Lily's story is only just that she was left all alone? And in the "Healers of Healer Hall" it said she had a heartbreaking past.

...I just came back and looked and saw Last Lily sobbing over a mare. Is that her mom? And, no offense, but how is that exactly a "heartbreaking past"?

Please pause for a moment and consider what would happen if you lost someone very dear to you. Now go back and read what you said.

Awesome work here! Β You're one of the only few people that can make a comic full of ocs and still make it one of the best I've seen. You earned a watcher!

Looking at this again, the white pony with the green mane in the second panel (the one directly under the first big one and on the left) looks like Willow's dad. Is it him?

Nimaru In reply to ShadowPen448 [2015-06-25 06:39:21 +0000 UTC]
It's not. They look similar because many of the guardponies of the time had "regulation manecuts" and such.

Excuse me, I know this is VERY late, but... Why do all the nurse hats have (and why is that pony's cutiemark) Hermes's Caduceus? It should be Asclepius's staff, which has ONE snake. Asclepius = god of medecine. Hermes = god of theives, merchants and travelling. You got the wings on it right though, the Caduceus wings point up, and Asclepius's rod's wings point down.

It's alright! I don't blame you, not EVERYONE - *COUGH* internet *COUGH* - is a total Greek Mythology nut like me. And I apologize if I came off as rude at all in any way. Hehe...

Not at all! I try my best to be authentic, but can't get it all right so I don't take it personally. I'll keep it in mind if I need to use the figure again though!

There's no half-pony. There's one sitting up on the stretcher and you can't see her legs though.

So the blind pony is sitting on that benchthing and we can't see her legs from that angle?

Nimaru In reply to JosephEquinox [2014-09-05 05:57:33 +0000 UTC]
Yes. She's on a fabric cot so her legs and the bottom of her butt won't be visible.

That pony pulling the sheet over has a tombstone cutie mark.Β It must be very depressing for your "special talent" to revolve around the death of others.

Huh. Wow. I've never felt so much for ponies before. XD While I wasn't really getting into it for the first few pages, this one really did it for me.
Some actually dying adds seriousness to the story... almost too much. It helps to remember that in this story Luna's actually possessed and not just envious.
Hoohoo~ On to the next page! :0
