    Its pretty good. I always enjoy a good Luna story. I also very much enjoyed the crying guards running out of the room. Can't wait to see the next one.

    When she inquired about the whereabouts of her brother, Shining Armor, she found out that he was away with his current charge on a diplomatic mission. Nor would they tell her who that charge was.Twilight, for obvious reasons, was suspicious, but decided not to pursue it.

    That was a great read! I loved the part where Luna realized that Starswirl passed down the knowledge in such a clever way, I had a suspicion of him knowing Night Magic, but didn't think too much on it. Good show! :rainbowkiss:

    The battle between Discord and Twilight was very intense, and did good job of showing that Discord is both just as silly and dangerous as he should be, and I think the lesson Luna taught her new student is a good one to learn. Almost wishing that she had learned that before the whole "Eternal Night" incident.

    Nothing noted for real spelling errors, because I spent more of my focus on the story then anything else, but I did see one thing that stood out.

    Princess Luna blushed a bit. “It...may be something we disguised as we read over your letters together.”

    And I see what you did there with Blueblood. :pinkiegasp: Making a blog post for what we want to see first when I dare say you have your sights set on Blueblood being haunted! Sneaky writer!

    The epilogue didn't exactly surprise me with Trixie being involved, but the fact she started with 50 students is glorious! Can't wait to see where you take Luna teaching an entire room of students, and I am really curious to how Trixie handles the last test of Luna.

    Again, a wonderful read and I can't wait to see whatever part you're bringing up next.

    Just please don't sick the Tickle Mist on me, my feet like to spring out when tickled, and I think everyone wants to keep their teeth. :pinkiecrazy:

    TwiDash implications. LunaStar implications though my mind keeps going to a simple "More then Teacher/Student less then lovers" vibe. Surprise visiting. More implications of Big Mac being a kid at heart.

    And last but not least, implications that Twilight Sparkle may be enjoying Night Magic more then what Celestia has taught her.

    If there are others, I shall find them! But not today, my son is acting up again.

    But sometime soon! :pinkiecrazy:

    But A pony's catalyst uis most often the oppossite of their normal demeanour. Trixie is always pridefull and brash, so the opposite would be shame or humility. I can totaly see Trixie going on a rampage fueled by her shame.

    With that, she then looked her younger sister in the eye. “Good luck, Luna. Try not to let things get out of control. I would hate for things to get...” with that, Celestia’s magic once more flared up, and in a flash, she was wearing a pair of sunglasses “...Loony.”

    “YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!” screamed Morningstar. This of course made the entire room turn to face him. The Royal Guard blinked and blushed deep with embarrassment. “Hehe, sorry. Not sure what that was.”

    I think this would definitely benefit from a revision of the description for your story. Not only is your shortest story (so far) a decent, chewy size for an introduction, but the description gives no feeling or hint of the personality that you've put into your writing, nor the life you breath into Luna as a character. It's an injustice for you to misrepresent such a wonderful piece of work from yourself, and I will not stand for such travesty. Metal Squirrel Chaos, I beseech you to undo the harm you have inflicted upon poor, innocent Metal Squirrel Chaos's story! :derpytongue2:

    Twilight Sparkle, long time mentor to the Princess of the Sun, and bearer of the Element of Magic, just stared at the rock in the princess’ hooves for a few seconds. “Um, ok, if that’s what you want.”

    Twilight's not Celestia's mentor, she's her student. Celestia is the mentor. Still loving the story though.

    Yes, really enjoyed that chapter.

    I see that there are three types of Luna's that can usually be seen in fanfics.

    The first one is the meek and shy Woona (like at the end of the first season pilot), much like Fluttershy.

    The second one is an arrogant, cold and distant Luna. The one that doesn't really seem to be free of Nightmare's influence and can't be trusted.

    And my favorite - the third one - is this! Wild, unpredictable, funny and uncontrollable Luna - the real Mistress of the Night. I'd really like to see more fanfics with Luna being like that :)
