The dragon hunter


I'm Italian, I like Halo, and my favorite pony is Applejack. What else?

Great job. Dark, intriguing and enthralling.

7339961 Thank you :twilightsmile: To be honest, I'm still a bit nervous about the story, it's the first time that I try writing something like this :twilightsheepish:

You are off to a great start. Take your time and most of all enjoy your work.

Well this is a change of pace from your other writing I'll stick around and see where it leads

7340274 I'm glad you like it :pinkiehappy:
(Sorry for the late reply, I don't know why but I didn't received the notification of your comment :applejackunsure:)

Hooray! Update. Once again the incompetence of Alicorns dooms the world. Evil appreciates the stupidity of Good. Still hoping that Moon and Sombra join forces in a union of unholy matrimony. It's a match made in Hell.

7566002 I would not call it exactly incompetence, but rather an underestimation of Nightmare Moon's abilities. After all, the only time when the Elements failed was when Spike became the new Rainbow Dash.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter :twilightsmile:

7566115 Not exactly, the Elements were supposed to just contain her powers, not reform her. Evidently something went wrong... :pinkiecrazy:

Thank you, Nightmare Moon is an interesting character to write :twilightsmile: her personality is complex, the result of a difficult and dark past, worthy of Machiavelli.

The music was a casual choice, but that in the end it proved to be appropriate in my opinion. There are a few Halo references in this chapter. I was planning at first to make her armor float in place like the one of the Didact

but then I opted for something more 'magical'.

Forgive me for not thinking highly of people who employ child soldiers to fight their battles. But then again with an armed force as effective as a broken pencil, beggars can't be choosers.
Does N.M. have a long term plan or is she just dealing with her immediate concerns.

I understand you point of view, however I would not call Spike a child soldier, considering that he can swim in the lava without problems and can destroy a a lock with one of his overpowered belches

I like to contextualize situations: the show purposely shows the guards as incompetent individuals because otherwise there would be no need for Twilight and her friends. And as Nightmare Moon notices in this chapter, the guards are not trained to deal against enemies with supernatural powers (at least, this is what I like to think: they may have the will, but they don't have the power)

Regarding your question: spoiler. Things will be explained in the next chapters

Fair enough points. I just think that Alicorns create more problems than they solve.

The story's really good. ^_^ Although, in this case, I don't care much for all the characters being anthro, hard to visualise them as anything but their pony forms ya know. At least without a decent reference. ^^;

7595536 Thank you :twilightsmile: Glad to know you like the story so far.

I'll include further descriptions of the characters in the future chapters.

A threat or opportunity? Make your choice King Sombra as Nightmare will not be idle. Also great to see an update.

Huh I thought Celestia was drained. I gave her little credit.

7771984 Thank you :twilightsmile: In the next chapter we'll see what happen when you put two super villains in the same room :pinkiecrazy:
7771993 Let's say that I'm not a fan of the way she's often portrayed as an overpowered damsel in distress in the show, with obvious consequences on her reception from the fandom :applejackunsure:

Well, from one side Sombra and Nightmare both have alicorns and Equestria as common enemies. On another side, Sombra and Nightmare have their differences, so they can only unite against common enemy. Again, this battle in Canterlot can be just a ploy for Nightmare to gain common ground with Sombra here - as "my enemy's enemy", and then strike him from behind. Althrough I see this as unlikely, as Nightmare is not one to use subterfuge.
So, waiting for a new chapter.

:pinkiehappy:the queen returned:rainbowlaugh:

I hope she makes him suffer for what he do to cadance

“You know, I want to punch your face so badly right now, but then I would be fined for damaging an archeological artifact.”

Shots fired!

ETA of the next chapter unknown :applejackunsure: I started writing it months but without much progress lately due to Real life and other projects.

What do you think of the story so far?
