Five hundred years ago, Celestia passed on leadership to a council of ponies, trusting them to lead them in her stead. Then she vanished.
Today, the world is vastly different than what it could have been. Magic is a dying art, technology is at an all time high, and Canterlot is full of crime.
Good thing Twilight Sparkle's on the case.
Finally, someone ponifies this!
This looks good. I also imagine the this Blueblood was chomping on a cigar throughout his conversation with Twilight. Now I wonder what happened to Cadance in this universe?

Due to a lack of magic in the environment to properly start the apotheosis, Cadence never became an Alicorn and is still a Pegasus. Beyond that, I ain't telling.

Calling it she is a hooker with a heart of gold. Hay if Gunsmoke could get away with Miss. Kitty's profession I am sure you can pull it as well.

Dunno. Beyond that blurb about Cadence earlier in the comments, I really have no idea what to do with this story.

I don't know, with the background story given she seems to be a fusion of Tony and Gibbs.
Thank you very much for getting the story started. Admittedly, I've only seen bits and pieces of the show, but my roommate is a big fan, so I HEARD a lot more than I saw. Still, I WILL admit the idea has A LOT of potential. And yeah, I could DEFINITELY see Twi being a composite of Tony and Gibbs (Tony's police background [and possibly pop culture knowledge depending on how many books she has read and how many movies she has seen] mixed with Gibbs's more serious demeanor)
and yeah, like somebody else mentioned in the blog describing the general idea for this story, I could easily see a somewhat older Spike (who hatched naturally and was raised in the dragon empire while being, more or less, the same age as the Mane Six) as Zee, Rainbow as a mixture of McGee and Tony (well, it WOULD be a lot easier to visualize Rainbow being a wise-cracking stallionizer than Twi) and Pinkie as Abby.
Beyond that, as I said before, excellent job on the intro chapter and I will definitely be looking forward to more. However, I WILL be willing to be patient.
