This story is a sequel to Crazy, Clever and Cunning
It's been over six and a half score years since she first entered Ponyville and with most of her friends now dead it's time to move on. Not knowing where she is from Flarenza begins her journey to find where the rest of her kind is and to locate her place in the world.
<><><><><>
Book 2 of the series which will take place over a long period of time. It also happens immediately after the last of the non-alicorns of the Mane 6 passes away from the previous story which is approximately 130 years after the start of season 1. Expect long gaps of time with little reference to time as it will take place over the course of many years. Much of it will explore things outside of Equestria so there will be a lot fewer ponies in this one than the last.

I'm starting to enjoy this one more than the first story
5108398 Well the first one was a bit more limited by the script while ii have a bit more freedom with this one. It also helps that I can now start to slowly reveal my plans which brings in a bit more originality than the first one as well. I'm also slowly improving my own writing skills a bit as well as I test out things here and there. I hope to be able to get decent length conversations going that don't seem rushed or forced.
Hmm... would Lady Tsukiyomi happen to be Princess Luna?
Lady Ogetsu?
5137850 Whoops, fixed that error. Writing while watching b-rated movies may not be a good idea at times.
Haven't fully fleshed out a reasoning for it yet but it works well enough to add a little bit of mystery to the story that needs to be solved.
For the other part, it IS rather obvious especially with the previous story also mentioning a Lady Ameterasu.
I kinda guessed this last chapter, but it sounds like Luna was probably Nightmare Moon when she attacked Ogetsu.
5167523 I actually didn't think about that but it does give me some ideas to tie into it later. This is actually much further back in the past than that and using it as a part of the reason for her future fall is a good idea. That's about it for hints on that until I tackle it more in the story barring any other hints I may have left around there.
I've been trying to pin down what's bugged me since the first story in this series, and I think I finally got it.
Everything is stated or reported, very matter-of-fact. Flarenza is too logical and impersonal. It's hard to get invested in what's happening, and this chapter's a prime example.
No fanfare, no emotional investement, just "Off with her leg!"
5200376 Yeah I think I see what you mean. Some of it I used just to skim over side stuff but I may have been over-using it. This chapter also didn't quite end up quite like I wanted either and I plan to rewrite it again later though the end result was something I had planned for a while. I'll work on improving on that problem as much as I can though.
Does this mean Flarenza's bark is worse than her bite?
...
I'll see myself out.
5383824 Ugh, I walked right into that one didn't I?
I guess I deserve it for some of the silly references I left in that chapter though so I really don't have a leg to stand on.
just letting you know that it's capital not capitol
5506931 Fixed. Not an easy error to spot since both are words but capitol I guess only refers to the capitol building in the capital.
ok btw I commented on the prequel to this about a song in the chapter a sunny end
"Two break it"
Enjoying this greatly.
Kitsune are underused.
"The thrown"
Greatly enjoying this.
Many thanks!
*caugh* the day the teddy bears had their picnic *cough*
it should be point
there should be a have in the middle there
5888925 Fixed and fixed.
Well, that escalated quickly.
what is this the forest moon of endor?
7103258 More the world of Hanna-Barbera
I can't believe how a story this well made isn't more popular, I am really suprised at this.
11/10
So the town recovered.... let's hope that the town never does the same mistake again
Wow....
So.... She's a noble now apparently....
Didn't expect that to happen in this tale
My reaction after reading the last part of this chapter.....

*tries to hold in laughter*
*attempts failing*
Before I read this, what is the Gore tag for ?
And how bad does it get ?
8159754 It shouldn't be overly bad if I remember right, been a while since I've glanced at this one. I think it was only one or two parts that may have gotten a bit descriptive, but shouldn't be any worse than what you'd find in a shooter game.
Magic eating beings are a magic casters worst nightmare in combat
So... Thermal shock is a very effective tool. Can't really beat it easily
You know, i've wondered why i have seen you write the Ladys name as both Ogetsu and Ogitsu.
I think it's meant to be Ogetsu and Ogitsu is a writing error of some kind
Tis goot! Sooo... the brownies are cannibals? Or just like to have fun? Or are just massive trolls (oh, the irony)?
Sooo... are we going to learn how scootaloo died, and how the other two happened to pass away at the same time?
Wow! A new world to explore. Should be interesting.
Aaaaaand this is the point where I'm starting to suspect that Flarenza's mother is the lost princess.

Actually, if I remember right I was going for the Paw Paw Bears.
So that's why Flarenza's mother never told her her name
Waitwaitwaitwaitwait, what happened to seven?!?!
Edit: just reread it after reading a bit of the next chapter, and realized it was talking about Okami, not Flarenza
Heh. Up-vote #69.
Nice
No, they don't eat other brownies . . .
See, this is why you only pick fights with strangers whom you have done research on first.
Well, she is certainly going to be more hoppy from now on . . .
At least her status was updated
If you're sending letter through Spike, shouldn't they be capable of sending, at least, some blank paper for you write on?
They're a species of trolls
Those might not be statues
