The Legend of the Howling Beast was one mostly lost to time, but a resurgence of claims in recent years has brought ponies in from all over the planet to try to crack the case.
The Mane Six might just be the ponies to do it.

first comment
This was a very good story
7000342 Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it
Well done on this story! On to the next chapter!
7000623 Thank you! But the story itself is complete There won't be new chapters of Howl, but I do love me some TwiLuna.
Very nice story.
I found it a tad odd. But it was an enjoyable read :)
Umm, what happened to Spike?
7001063 stayed at the farm with the guards and presumably Fell asleep. I apologize for not making that clear!
7000867 thank you!
7001063 spike, who is that ?
Twilight, you're in love. And she loves you back.
This is really well-written, and quite beautiful! I think you write Luna's character in particular really well. I'm interested to see what will happen in the next chapter!
Bloody tourists...
That sounds like spot-on description of Bonaroo Music Festival (or any large outdoor concert/festival in general)
Eeyup!
That is definitely Bonaroo...
Something about these lines really catches my attention. Something about how you have shown, through a few lines ageless and immortal Luna coming alongside and helping Twilight take her first wobbling steps as one of Equestria's rulers. You know, it occurs to me that there is an absolute dearth of stories concerning Luna and Celestia (and Cadance) mentoring and training neophyte, adorkable Princess Twilight for her duties as a princess.
Celestia teaches her the art of War...
Luna, the art of Diplomacy...
Cadance the finer points of Realpolitik...
Nice try there loverdrake.
Yikes. That alliteration in the very first line is a suckerpunch.
7002381 I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^ I wrote the last 4k words or so of this story at like midnight so I apologize if it's not great ^^
7002484 spot on. I was thinking more like Woodstock or that stupid festival they had out my way years ago. MUSIC IS HELL, SON.
7002563 Eh, I had to. Pinkie Pie just lends herself to it.
This was playing in my mind throughout the story:
Story itself was good, but due to it's (relatively) short length, the relationship between Luna and Twilight could only go one of two ways. One, awkwardly shoehorned in because the author likes to ship (fortunately this did not happen) or the second direction which the story took: painfully obvious in being central to solving the mystery of the Beast.
7002803 Pretty much.
7001305 That's okay!
7001681 Trollestia Strikes Again! XD
Is there a moving castle involved?

Liked it a lot. Not what I expected it to be!
Great story. One nitpick: the title is Duchess, not Dutchess.
Touching.
I do love a mystery with a happy ending... and this:
is just the best mental image ever.
Oh, this is good so far, and with not nearly enough views! I'll have to finish it after work.
I dunno what it is about TwiLuna, but it's one ship I always seem to enjoy.
Goodness, they got together awfully quick at the end there.
Luna: Being with others has caused me horrible pain.
Twilight: *kisses Luna*
Me: Um.
This feels like it worked out too clean and quick under the circumstances.
Second time through, new comment: evenings like this always manage to make me feel lonely and fulfilled, at the same time. Also, now I'm craving apple crumble.
Is that what twilight calls "pornography of my mentor" these days?
I love this moment. Only Pinkie can be a smart mouth and still seem totally innocent.
