CMC are in their late teens.
Special thanks to Twilight_is_the_BEST for laying the groundwork of this story.
The events in this story are considered canonical for Darkest Darkness, but neither story is required to be read in order to understand the other.
This story takes place and was written before the events of Season 5, Episode 18.
Life has changed for the Cutie Mark Crusaders. After graduating high school without their cutie marks, the CMC are finally free of Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon. Without school holding them back, they are free to pursue their cutie marks to the ends of the earth.
And when Sweetie Belle finds a mysterious ring that shows a magical map, to the ends of the earth is exactly where they might be headed.
Hey pretty good! Keep it coming.
6013902 More coming later today. Not sure if it will be posted later today, but I'm at least going to continue writing. If you se enothing today, check back tomorrow for chapter four~
Pretty interesting indeed.
Yeah.....Really good indeed.
Faved. Watched and Like.
Nice work sir :)
This has potential. You have my track.
Well, you've certainly caught my attention. Nothing better than three teenagers discovering an ancient artifact of unknowable power. This can only go well
Seems Twilight has the deductive skills of Sherlock Holmes

Also, me thinks Scootaloo may be trying to hold on to the glory days of youth before having to accept the responsibility and "boredom" of adult life. One last adventure for the CMC perhaps.
6022249 Seems like you have the deductive reasoning skills of Sherlock Holmes.
Luna: Tia! Three young fillies have come into possession of an artifact we know to be extremely dangerous!
Celestia: Meh. You deal with it. I'm too fuckin' sleepy
Wait...do Diamond Dogs have the ability to give nightmares?
6022290 I'm on the case Watson!
6022330 Celestia and Luna operate on their respective schedules. Luna is in charge of the kingdom and awake from 6pm to 6am, and Celestia is in charge of the kingdom and awake from 6am to 6pm.
6022364 I recall Luna saying something peculiar about the battle ground in Ghastly Gorge. Can't quite remember, though, maybe it's worth going back and reading~?
6022521 I suppose she needs her sleep. Still, God forbid the world goes to hell when she's off the clock.
: Meh. Not my problem till 6am
Oh.
OHHHHHHHH! Oh man, I had a feeling these weren't ordinary Diamond Dogs but this is worse than I thought. God help those three

I like the story so far, but I have one problem. Nothing with the story itself, but more with a mistake you do. And because I don´t know how to explain it here the link to the writing guide where it´s explained. http://www.fimfiction.net/writing-guide#Said-tags

Gimli sees what you did there.
I think you meant "ring" there. Also another 'mistake'. Here it says that the ring is on Sweetis Belles horn, but shortly after it says that she pulls the ring out of her saddlebags. The spot in the text I mean is right here:
That is written small.
It´s not a name so it´s written small.
Twilight Is The Best recommended this story to me.
And, the first chapter is very promising. Straight on my tracklist with it.
Is this not alternative universe by any chance? Oh wait, it is, but to find out that CMC are actually harmless is rather unexpected, no matter what universe they are in.
Also, a small nitpick. I noticed that you often use word "Man," may I suggest using alternative like "Oh come on" or "Just great."
Ok. Read the first two chapters now - and I have to say:
It is well written, grammar is decent. The story flows nicely and nothing has distracted me so far.
The story itself has an interesting promise. It feels a bit like the movie "Stand by me" if you know it.
In short I like it. So have a like.
edit: there is some technical difficulty - it says 'Failed to save Rating' when I click for upvote... strange. So feel yourself upvoted, at least. I fix it as fast as possible...
6087806 I will admit I did watch Stand By Me the day before I started writing, so it had influence and will continue to have influence.
cool start
Well this chapter was... interesting. I was half expecting for Celestia to stand behind them when they wanted to leave. Keep going.
way to go girls!
Hello, when is the next chapter?
6744118 Sorry, but I'm at a really rough point in my life, right now. I sincerely doubt I'll ever come back to FimFiction, and I apologize to you for leaving your story like this.
