Six Quills


E
Source

In the wake of Discord's return to stone and a restored peace to Equestria, the world is again plummeted into darkness as an ancient, forgotten evil returns. Celestia and Luna quickly find themselves forced into a deadly tournament, as Twilight and her friends race against time to save them.

Although this story features Pen Stroke's Nyx (Past Sins), this story itself is not related to Past Sins, nor does it require a reading of Past Sins.

Looks great! I'm grad there are a lot of chapters to start with :pinkiehappy:

I'll give this a quick once over tomorrow for last minute things.

It's about time this appeared on Fimfiction! I mean deviantart is great, but ponyfics belong on fimfiction

I agree! It's great to see this story make its way to FIMfiction. :coolphoto:

Haven't read this yet, but it's on my list. From looking at that cover image, though, Nyx vs Nightmare Moon? Oh ho! Shit's gonna get real, yo! :rainbowdetermined2: :rainbowlaugh:

529696 Did you make a rip-off...or did you do an original...should I read....or shouldn't I?alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/png/determined-challenge-considered.png I'm too scared for what I might find.

529707 Well if you would have started reading it, you would have noticed its a completely original story that just so happens to feature Nyx. Pen Stroke himself even did the final editing on this.

One thing that bothers me just a little about this story, it's that none of them tried to befriend Nightmare Moon at all. I know she seems hopelessly angry and hostile, but.... presumably Luna's personality is still buried in there somewhere. Furthermore, she's not fighting to take over Equestria and bring endless night anymore -- she already has that back in her home dimension, if she can but return to it.

I wonder how long this Nightmare Moon had been ruling when she was nabbed? I can't help thinking that time and experience might eventually cool her rage and leave her much sadder-but-wiser. (Something like the NMM of Night's Favoured Child, perhaps.)

530465 I was messing around. I never truly criticize something unless I start reading it.:trixieshiftleft: I'll start today. I vant see vhat zees speaks of.

Haha im stalking you Sixquills. jk tho glad this got on fim now my friends can read it

532170 Yea a couple ppl have made that comment, but nah, she's still very evil.

Also, maybe a year or two. And no, she's still an angry mare.

534718 Yea i'm glad this is on FiMFiction now too. Its easier to read here, though there are some formatting things I can't do here that I can do on dA.
Always glad to have more fans and followers!

I now have a new least-favorite character. This Solaris character has got to be one of the most arrogant reckless maniacs I've ever seen. What kind of parent dumps their daughters into a brutal fighting tournament against their will? What kind of leader would risk their nation by summoning no less than six supervillains into the middle of it. If the slightest thing had gone wrong with his containment, they'd be tearing Equestria apart in no time. The mere fact that Celestia and Luna haven't screwed around with time and space just to prove a point makes them more qualified to run things.

And why was Nyx there for? She didn't fight Luna or Celestia (and seeing those two fight was allegedly the whole point of this charade), so did he drag her in just so he could watch her suffer? And what, exactly, does participating in an unnecessary tournament prove anyway? Would he have judged them unworthy if they'd refused to play along or lost their bouts? Even after his explaining, I still can't see him as anything less than an amoral monster.

how can there be sundown? the princesses need to use their magic in order for the sun and moon to rise and set. I'm confused.

581496 At the end of Chapter 1, Grimveil says the Sun and Moon will continue across the sky under his guidance.

Meanwhile in the world of past sins...

Nyx: "SPIKE! I'm back!"
Spike: "Back? Where did you go?"
Nyx: "Well..."
*one story later*
Spike: "..."
Spike: "Lucky."

792533 I'm glad you liked it! I'll have a new series started here real soon, and i'm also working on a prequel to this story as well. :pinkiehappy:

That was an epic story! I find it funny that the title of one of your chapters (nyx vs Nightmare Moon) has the same name of the Changeling protagonist from the fic I just read before.

925392
Well i'm glad you liked it! :pinkiehappy: If you're referring to the name 'Nyx', the character is from Pen stroke's "Past Sins"

928144 No, the name of the chapter where nyx fights Nightmare Moon "mirror Matched" is the name of the chaingling main character in Smoke and Mirrors by tea party cannon.:derpytongue2:

581496 Oh for god sake! READ, THE, CHAPTERS! DON'T, SKIP, ANYTHING!

581496 Oh for god sake! READ, THE, CHAPTERS! DON'T, SKIP, ANYTHING!

937082 I did read the chapters. Maybe i just forgot an important peice for the sun/moonrise/set.:twilightsheepish:

Yea!!!!! Woot!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Nyx!!!!!!!!!!

wow, probably some of the most epic battles i have seen in a fanfic. good story. cant wait to read the prequel

got to say,you write battles well. I hope my future ones turn out as good as this :moustache:

Nyx is to this story as Iron Man is to the Avengers. Just saying...

1397139
Ok well instead of an analogy, why not just say it straight forward? I don't know anything about the avengers, nor do I care to know.

1403085
I'm fascinated by your lack of intelligence, but thats about what I'd expect from someone who chose 'SuckMyDick' as his username.

The solid human waste matter is really going to hit the freestanding mechanical oxygen propeller this time

So, discord, nightmare moon, Nyx, celestia, Luna, war, pestilence, famine and death face off? My monts on death, though he might acidently break grims rule You know, as a Easter egg, could you have a face off between death and mort, from 'mort takes a holiday? That would Be enough win to last me 50 years:pinkiehappy:

Do do do dododo clifHANGER!!!!

Well as weird as it sounds, I like it when I hear that people cry reading this last chapter. It was intended to be a tearjerker, but I was afraid I had botched it up.

can you be any more depressing *sarcastic voice* but seriesly can you please make more of these there awsome
have a mustache :moustache: or 5 :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

2189627
Well I'm very glad you liked it. If you're interested in seeing more, I would suggest reading and following my prequel to this story.

BEST. BUCKING. CLIFFHANGER. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pinkiehappy::pinkiegasp::ajsmug:
