Shining Chitin Redux

by Damaged
Shining Armor had a little extra something done to him by Chrysalis during the lead-in for the wedding/invasion. Now things are getting completely out of hoof.

Note: While this is listed as a sequel, the first story does not need to be read to enjoy this. The prequel was a short comedy piece, that everypony (myself included) liked so much that they wanted to see a serious version. This is that version.

Beginning at the start, this is following the same plot-points as the Prequel story, but unlike that, this is a mature retelling of all the things that happened, with only a small fraction of the silly jokes.

Shining Armor is beset by an odd malady, originally a curse by the Queen of the Changelings. He doesn't know it, but he is destined to walk on holey hooves himself, if he can avoid going crazy first.

Yes, there is sex in the first chapter. No, this is not indicative of the series and will not be common.

Art thanks to the wonderful Raven (Little bit of blood/violence art on their tumblr, be warned.)
