What better way is there to write than to tap into the infinite possibilities and impossibilities of one's own imagination? In my case, it's a bunch of ponies.

Sequels1

T

For light to exist, darkness must exist as well. Even as happiness spreads throughout Equestria when a new princess is crowned, an ancient evil is at work. A starved and desperate nation searches for sources of food, but ends up getting something entirely different. With questions in the present that can only be answered by the past, an old shadow lurks, making ready its return. (Takes place immediately after season 3)

It's pretty good work! Something fresh, new in my opinion. I do not understand why it has no comments. Keep it up!

One remark though, it would be better if you centered the location when you change perspectives. Or make it bald. It would look slightly better.

@Gucinnio :derpytongue2: Whoops. I guess I can go back and fix that location thing the next time I update. Thanks a bunch, dude! You have no idea how big the smile on my face got to see someone liking my work. And don't worry, there's gonna be a lot more where this came from!

At the time I am writing this, I haven't actually any of this story (YET). I am going to read it, I am just really busy lately, I am just looking for stories with Luna and/or Chrysalis as major characters. I just want to know how much of Chrysalis and Luna will I be seeing in this story. (I'm going to read this regardless of the answer, it looks too good to pass up.)

I realize I probably sounded kind of snobbish. Sorry about that. :scootangel::moustache:

@Prince Novus: Nothing to apologize for, Novus. And don't worry. You'll be seeing plenty of Luna during this story. Also, Chrysalis, while not getting as much attention as Luna, will be playing a critical role in the story.

3826020 :yay: Yay!
Quick random question: who's your favorite mlp character(s)? Fan made characters are allowed.
Mine are Chrysalis, Luna, Nyx, Dr. Whooves, and Derpy. Also Fluttershy.

@Prince Novus: Man that's a tough question. I'd probably have to say that Applejack is my favorite character with Discord coming in a close second.

Just so you know, you can reply to comments by moving your cursor over to the far right of the comment you want to reply to, then clicking on the >> that appears there.

4633724 Oh. :twilightsheepish: Thanks for that! Kinda new to the comment system here.

If Lodestar was voiced, what would sound like?

4641267 Hmm. I'd probably say the closest voice that comes to mind is Zeratul's from Starcraft 2. I hope that gives you an idea of what Lodestar sounds like. :pinkiehappy:

Resounding agreement was heard in the circle of eight.

At this six of the eight jaws in the room dropped.

In chapter 38, there were only seven people in that room.

In a world without VILLANS what is a HERO?

Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.

4856254 No I can't say I have. But I'm flattered that you think I should. :twilightsmile:

Hooray Im the first one!!!! No worries mate a good chapter is always worth waiting for.

What the heck?!?! Your story is almost 200,000 words long with updates at about once a week and it has only 16 comments and 25 votes?! That is really messed up.
I haven't read it yet but if a story longer than 100,000 it should have gotten more recognition.

This story is off to a good, if not a tad cliched, start.
That's why the updates are so often. My other points still stand!

Ominous prophecy checklist:
Written in an inhospitable environment, check.
Written in an ancient language, check
Additions to a group that operates with a certain number of members ( Elements of Harmony), check.
Mention of unknown person or persons that may or may not be allies, check.
The possible return of Nightmare Moon or something disturbingly similar.
You, sir, are currently walking the fine line between a cliched storyor a classical one. I hope you end up on the classical side.

your people will never have to worry about hunger ever again.

Dead people don't have to worry about hunger. This is a classic "I never lied" line.
I forgot to mention this but nice job on making Chrysalis a, if not likeable, then relatable character.

Yay!:pinkiehappy: It was Nightmare!
...
...
...
Oh buck, It was Nightmare!
Why was Chrysalis crying? Oh well, I'll find out later.

That was a fuh-reak-ay series of dreams. I wonder traumatized they will be.

Aftermath of terror! Changlings invading! Twilight possessed! Ancient evils alive and awake! How will our intrepid young heroes handle this situation?! Find out next time on Dragonbal- I mean Guardians of Light: A Shadow Forms!

And now we learn that Lodestar is behind Sombra and Nightmare Moon. What other pies did (does?) he have his metaphorical fingers in?

5283722 Oh well. Hopefully the next installment in the series will get a bit more traffic. :pinkiesmile: Thanks for your reviews, by the way. Loving the feedback.

5286050 That reminds me, do you mind if I add this story to a few groups? It should get more people too notice this story.

5286374 Go right on ahead, dude. I ain't stopping ya. :pinkiehappy:

We finally see the Guardians or, to be more accurate, Guardian, we learn of another prophecy [you must really like your prophecies(not there is anything wrong with that)], Celestia and Luna search for Starswirls journal in his tomb, and Lodestar is trying to use the bickering Griffin Kingdom in his plan. There are a lot of things going on but it hasn't gotten confusing yet, nice job.

Sombra goes to war with Equestria! One issue though, how do the ponies know that King Prodigal has a new name and that it's Sombra? Other than that it's a good chapter

Poor Chrysais, your not evil yout just trying to help your people when noone else will.
>>Alphadude007 Will there be a sequel to this? The brong sound remimds with of the fog horn sound from the movie War of Worlds. And is the blue figure meant to help combat Shadow or someone that has yet to apper? I can't wait for the final chapter and possible the beginning to the sequaland random is right this story deserves better credit.

>>Alphadude007 Sorry didn't read the previpus comments really well.

>>Alphadude007

Therefore, I give you the name… Brutus."

Im going to laugh myself into a self induced coma if someone says "you too Brutus". :rainbowlaugh:

5301390 Thanks for the feedback, Retired. :pinkiesmile: And yes, there will be a sequel to this. A Shadow Forms is the first of four stories I plan on writing for the Guardians of Light series, so there is much more to come!

>>Alphadude007 Have you came up with a name yet? :applejackunsure:

5311813 I have, as a matter of fact. And you'll soon find out in the next chapter update! :rainbowwild:

>>Alphadude007 When will the next chapter be out? Please actully give me a real answer and not like all in good time thing.

5315205 I plan on the next chapter coming out between this weekend the second week of December. So I hope that isn't too long to wait for you, but that's the best estimation I have at the moment.

Can we get a rough estimate of when the sequel comes out?

5371701 Currently working on the first chapter. Should be out within a week or so. :twilightsmile:
