Summary: During an expedition to Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters, two ponies stumble upon the origin of the alicorns, the state of Equestrian governance before the Princesses' ascension and the truth behind their father's disappearance.
Blackmailed by Discord, Wallflower and Mayflower are forced to embark on a quest to free the Sun from Princess Celestia's control.
In response, Celestia sends Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash to stop Discord's plans at all costs.
If having Equestria's most powerful unicorn and fastest flyer in hot pursuit weren't enough, the siblings must contend with a rookie agent of the changeling hive out to prove her worth, an untrustworthy spirit of Chaos bent on his own amusement and their own strained relationship - all in a game of chess to liberate the sun.

I have a really long list of people to thank for helping me over the last couple of month and making this story happen.
notMurphy: Author of the excellent A Minor Variation, one the best alternate universe fics I’ve read. This guy turned what started as something mediocre (he denies this) and turned it into something readable. Not only did he take the time to offer really good suggestions, but he wrote a multipage critique. His constructive analysis resulted in a number of major rewrites; the end product being a much more coherent narrative. Bottom line, without NotMurphy, there wouldn’t be a story.
Karkadinn: Author of the uniquely brilliant Unnatural Selection. I love this guy’s writing so I asked for a little feedback. Guess what I got? A massively detailed critique. He held no punches, pointing out everything, good or bad, by chapter. Many of the changes in flow resulted from his comments.
Georg: Author of numerous funny and interesting stories. A number of stylistic changes were the result of his feedback. Trust me, this guy knows good style.
Kendandra: Months ago I was reading a little story by the name of Static World. Everything was going along smoothly till I read the chapter titled “The Sun has Forsaken Thee!” The last scene seared itself into my brain, refusing to leave till I outlined Liberate the Sun. So if anyone hates my story, blame Kendandra (sorry buddy).
ping111: Proofreader/grammar nazi. I apologize, my friend. Without you, many missing words and grammatical errors would still be in existence. Many commas lost their lives to his vigilant eye.
Letedwend: Proofreader and person responsible for me having to rewrite the prologue for the SIXTH time! But seriously, he found a major flaw after I decided to rearrange the scenes within the prologue and it works much better.
Jake The Army Guy: Author of Luminous Sky and the creator of the intriguing Agent Bentgrass. Thanks for the motivation to keep going.
nygiants93: Author of far too many stories and all around great guy and the first one to give the story a fave!
Also, thanks to my little bro and others who didn't want to be named here.
Hope you enjoy and I look forward to all your comments/likes/faves.

Wow, this sounds epic. I'll be sure to read it when it comes out. (Trying to finish two other fics before I start a new one.)
Thanks for kind words man, I appreciate it
Want me to post a blog with a link to the story now?
Okay, I'm going to read it now instead of waiting. I don't have a thousand plus chapters to read for nothing. That was pretty quick, though.
