When what starts as an attempt on Princess Luna's life becomes a mad grab for power, Celestia must call upon her most skilled weapon, the Paladin. Cheerilee is an ordinary school teacher with a very unorthodox side job. Will her training in the ways of justice, and honor be enough to stop the threat against Equestria? Along her journey she will make new allies, gain new strengths, and become more personally involved then she ever would have imagined.
Note: As for the tags it is only slightly dark and only slightly sad, and not grim-dark at all (more light-dark sometimes). It is Adventure first.
Chapters (14)
Wow, no comment? Well I would assume that from the reception i got on Deviant Art that it was good but I don't know bought here. Why are all of you so quiet?
Good chapter, although you should check the text, the italics are not shown.
1497904 Oh, thanks. I forgot to convert the BBC code from DA to Fimfiction

1638371 Sorry it took so long to reply, I was on vacation.
Anyways:
Thank you so much. It always means so much to me when I get a comment.
awsomly cute chapter.
1767218 Yeah, I'm a sucker for the cutes, so you can expect a few more of those moments
interesting what purpose does braenburn want with cherilee.

Ah yes, what reason could our mysterious cowboy have for drawing the unsuspecting heroine to a dark secluded place. Probably a lot less then what you are expecting.
this was by far a most exciting chapter. way to go keep up the awsome story.
1933957 I'm glad you had fun reading this chapter. I had a lot of fun writing it as well. It's chapters like this that make the in between action chapter hard for me to write.
nice chapter, youve really done it again. great job.. keep em coming.
what an awsome chapter, i forsee one of 2 possibilties, 1 symphony keeps the teenage look, plus enchantments. and 2 she goes back to being a regular filly witch will be kinda boring. i hope for option one, seeing as she can help with a certain problem at the end of the story. oh gotta ask whos terra??? i dont think youve ever mentioned that pony.
2157451 Terra, is kind of an interesting side character. Her as a character won't truly be introduced until near the end of the current story, if you look back though, you will find that in chapter 4, Onyx Loadstone has a "conversation" with her. She's currently a powerful nature spirit, but to the everyday citizens of Equestria, she is an old legend. Also, in chapter four, I allude to her once having a mortal form, and ruling beside Luna and Celestia as a third sister. That's basically all I can say about her until Terra plays her next part in the story, I don't want to give too much away. Also, as for your prediction about symphony, I think my way will surprise you a bit.
2159158 well theres only one other option , the evil inside symphonie is just playing possum, till the right moment hehe. i still like the first idea better but i guessif you want a hidden evil why not.
or WAIT I JUST RELAIZED SOMETHING, YOU DEVIL IF YOU GO THAT ROUTE, OH YOU DEVIL, TERRA IS INSIDE SYMPHONIE, YOU SNEAKY SNEAKY DEVIL..
if im right just pm me.
As a writer of badass Cheerilee stories myself, I hereby brand this "very interesting."
2231581 Why thank you very much, I have loved Cheerilee as a character ever since season one. I thought she deserved a bit more respect and this is what came of it. Also, believe it or not, Iv'e actually read a few of your bad ass Cheerilee stories, and I love the dry sense of humor that you incorporate into your writing. I think the second or third arc you did about Cheerilee being a vampire is lost in a pile of unread chapters somewhere, I really should get back to it sometime.
Read it first as "Bacon in the shadows"

I get that a lot.
2360032 Either way big fan of BA Cheerilee so props to you.
I hope she survives.
2684697 Like I said in the authors notes, this story has an unquestionably happy ending, not even a hint of bittersweet. There does however happen to still be a bit of a rock road to get there however.
