Three Months Latter
"I'm telling the truth I swear!" Rainbow yelled as the guard ponies dragged her off. "I swear! I'm not lying! It wasn't me!"
"I wish we could believe you Rainbow." Twilight sighed, shaking her head. "But you were the only one there. We searched everywhere and didn't find a unicorn like the one you described."
"What?" Rainbow blinked, confused. "But he has to be there! I swear! I'm not crazy Twi!"
"I'm sorry Rainbow." Twilight said, smiling softly. "But all the evidence say other wise. Take her away."
"Are you sure it was a wise idea Twi?" Applejack asked, looking around the empty council room. "Are you sure we should have arrested Rainbow? Wasn't there something we could have done."
Twilight shook her head, a soft sigh escaping her. "No, there was only one thing we could do." She said, a somber tone to her voice. "As I told Rainbow when the guards arrested her, the evidence said it was her." Twilight chuckled softly, before turning away from Applejack. "I don't want to believe it either Applejack. But I conducted the investigation myself. All the evidence I found, pointed to Rainbow having done it."
"But... why would she?" Applejack protested. "She said it herself, the last thing she wants is to betray the ponies. Why would she... it just seems wrong Twi..."
"I know. I do wish there was something I could have done, but we are bound by the laws here as well Applejack. And the law states that if the evidence is..."
"I know what the law states Twilight." Applejack interrupted Twilight, sighing. "I wrote half 'em myself remember?"
Twilight nodded, as Luna walked up to them.
"How fares the investigation?" She asked, looking at Twilight then at Applejack. "I hear that you make a breakthrough?"
"I wish it was going good Luna..." Twilight sighed shaking her head. "But if the preliminary investigation is right then Rainbow really did do those things... But, there are still inconsistencies."
"Such as?"
"Rainbow didn't know about blood magic until after the events took place, and my investigation began." Twilight stated, her tone still flat. "I only researched into the blood magic because of the killings, which means who ever it was knew from the beginning about blood magic."
"Yet," Luna sighed, looking around. "All the evidence points Rainbow Dash as the blood magic user." Twilight nodded, sighing. "Normally I would pass the idea of as idiocy, but this is old magic we are talking about... The sigils, they allow anypony to use the magic, even those not Unicorns."
"Exactly." Twilight nodded, a somber atmosphere encompassing the room.
"Tell me Twilight, what made you second guess your choice? As you've said yourself the evidence points to Rainbow Dash."
"Because..." Twilight sighed, looking around a soft blush on her face. "After the guards took Rainbow away, I remembered what happened at Shining and Cadence's wedding." Twilight smiled softly, as Luna sighed. "Nopony gave me a chance and just ignored me, even though I was right. I didn't want Rainbow to think we abandoned her, with out being absolutely sure it was Rainbow that actually did what we were accusing her."
"A wise choice, given this new evidence." Luna nodded, a soft smile on her face.
"How've you been Princess?" Applejack asked Luna. "We haven't seen you sense you saw the fountain. You've been there this entire time?"
Luna nodded, her face turning to one of sadness. "In deed I have Applejack." She said, sighing. "It is my mother's grave... After so long..."
"We know Luna." Twilight sighed, patting Luna on the side. "It's fine, just try and come into town more often."
"This I will do." Luna nodded, before she turned to leave the room.

Dang Twilight!

You wont let RD off with a "the blood magic user made me do it"?
Heck you already know that the BM user is a Male Unicorn.
You must value that particular secret very highly if it is more important to you than putting RD in prison (and ruining her reputation
harsh ... very harsh ...

Now who said that it was definitely a he? Yes they do refer to the BM user as male, and Deacon did get a male Unicorn visitor when he was still disguised as a dragon. But who said that the whole truth has been said?
All that Twilight knows is that the evidence that they had unearthed pointed to RD being the BM user, and remember Twilight at first though that it might have been Deacon. Which we knew it wasn't before her.

And with the end of this chapter, the light and airy atmosphere of MLP:FiM is cast away. Welcome. Welcome to the ride for truth.
Victoriam in detrimento.

there is the first part and ...
unless Deacon was teaching him blood magic he had to have been a unicorn.
Both Deacon and Celestia know him very well and should be easily able to tell Twilight Exactly what he looks like ...that is assuming that they really do want him caught ...
Twilight seems to be forgetting that as easy as it is for him to force some pony to commit suicide it would be much much easier to force a pony to commit murder.
Hmm... How does it point to Rainbow being the user? She woke up covered in blood, and as Twilight points out again and again, A blood user controls others. If Rainbow was the blood user, why would she do it herself, and not use someone else? like we know what happened.
Also
How does Twilight and Applejack know it's her grave when Twilight didn't know anything about it at all a few chapters ago. Also since Twi drank from it a bit, does that mean she is drinking the mother's 'blood'?
Finally, I myself have played Gnomoria for a bit now, totally going to buy it on the first, (didn't even know about before this story and it's AWESOME
), And this story.... Kinda isn't anything like Gnomoria at all... It has the same basic start-up, Out to start a new kingdom!/Town! But then.... Instead of focusing on the town building, and management and all that, we don't even hear how they are gathering food and wood for buildings and such... Instead you focus on a threat, a blood user, who by all rights since he can control others can never be caught because he would just control someone else, like Rainbow. And then brought in a dragon 'master' of all changelings o.O, who turns out to be Celestia's dad, with the mysterious foutain water thing that has been a mystery for 11+ chapters to be... The grave of Luna's mother.... somehow....
Basically... It's an interesting story.... but I wish it was more like Gnomoria after playing and getting addicted to it. I wanted to see Twilight stress over how to build the town, how to get food and water and resources, to expand and build and so on, with dangers of course but not a single unstoppable magic user.

The awesome thing about how I wrote this is that you might have come to the correct conclusion.
Or, there could be more then one blood magic user in the city. Or, the Unicorn who visited Deacon might not be the BM user.

I should say that Gnomoria inspired the story.
On how they know about Luna's mother's grave, three months passed. It can be assumed that somewhere in between they had been told about the grave. And no, the liquid is not her mother's blood, what it is will be discussed later in the story.
And starting with the next chapter (Which I am working on right now) the story will be split. Between Rainbow hunting the BM user, and Twilight/Applejack manning the city. I'm more of an adventure writer so I apologize right now if the 'city-building' element of the story is lacking.
And on Rainbow waking up covered in blood, I never said it was hers.
Pardon me for any confusion on this chapter. I was feeling particularly sadistic at the time I wrote it, so...
A lot of what happens here and in the previous chapter will be explained in part two of the story, which I am working on right now.
