Twilight Sparkle was never Celestia's student, and she has never been to Ponyville. Raised on the backstreets of Canterlot she has to fight to survive, and her good heart does nothing to help. A criminal, a student, and a dangerous foe. All these titles and so many more plague her young life. Corruption is on the rise, ancient forces and new ones alike, struggling for power and control... and one mare stands at its center. Twilight will cross every line, and discover truths meant to stay buried. Her life will never be the same again, and there is a long road left ahead.

“Well, I think we might have something this time. It's not everyday that a powerful unicron appears out of nowhere.”
The white unicron remained stunned on the ground for quite some time before realizing her partial freedom.
we-e-elll, and where it can lead us? Twilight is such a master of sword and magic, that could easily stun dozens of well- trained soldiers and find and pass into secret government base? What problems you could imagine so it would be an adventure? Open battle with Celestia?

Thanks, I will fix that!
It would be interesting if this timeline collided with the original time line like for example twilight goes missing and she appears in alt time line as a foal and celestia and Luna come here to look for twilight and try to make here remember the original tl and celestia and twilight have a grand battle this would also explain why twilight is so powerful as she has her alicorn magic minus the wing but that is just an idea

That sounds like a great idea! I never considered an alternate timeline, that could prove to be an interesting direction.
I am not great at writing dimensional stories, but I will look into it! Thanks for the for feedback
Is this a mistake, or a decision to give twilight a low power ceiling, just curious.
But anyway good job I'm going to keep a eye on this one.

Oops, that is supposed to say "infinite" I will change that. Thanks for letting me know
Cool chapter! I was a bit confused, but was Athena Twilight?
10601069
Yep! I thought about putting that in the authors note, but it is more fun for people to figure it out.
Edit- Her name does change to Twilight eventually, and it is a very important moment.
I only got around to reading this now and I am intrigued. Keep up the good work!
Juuuust a lil typo in the long desc.
Sorry, just saw this and I’m really picky about these things...
10605240
Thanks! I will fix that.
Cool chapter, but it ended so cryptically! I now get what people mean when they say they hate cliffhangers...
Thanks for the feedback! I don't really know where the story is headed, but I am glad there is some suspense.
I think it's good for 'no idea where it's going' story.
Anyway, what about exploring the present day situation. Like interlude in the form of Rarity POV when she woke up or something so you still have the time to think where this plot going. Just saying.

The prologue was the only planned peak into the future of the story. Though I think including the Mane 6 earlier in the story and creating other POV's would be a great idea!
I was really giddy to see the new chapter up! You’ve described all the emotions very well, as always. I was a bit confused though - probably just me - but does NMM not happen in this universe?
Keep up the good work!

(PS. I don’t know if I’ll have time, but I might suddenly find motivation to do a cover art - who knows? I may get back to you for that.)
10618625
Thanks for the feedback! And no, there is no NMM.
Aww... Loved the little part with Luna comforting Wagon, that was sweet...
Who’s crying? I’m not crying!
Oh, and I totally get the white mane now,
Can’t wait for more!
~Meowofy
Huh, you know when I first saw the cover art I thought that blue pony was Night Glider! What happened to Luna's horn?
10677761
Magic hiding it?
So where do these chapters fit in with the prologue?
10677953
The prologue skips into the future and these chapters are around a year or more behind it.
10677761
Every element has a purpose (Chekhov's gun), so just wait and find out! She is missing her horn for a reason.
look like a good story, and i for one cant wait for more and i hope luna either take cafe of the childeren and help train twilight but have feel sunbuut going to screw it up
also coverart i was thinking "ok that is luna in hideing and look like she either on date with twilihgt or act like caregiver/mother to her"

Thanks for the feedback! I am glad you have enjoyed the story so far.
Awwwwwwweeeee....
Ohmigosh that was adorrrrable!
I think you actually did very well without an editor, so don’t worry about that! The only question I have is where is Athena, but I suppose I’ll just have to wait and find out soon. I’m intrigued with what part Sombra plays in EC and can’t wait for more!

Thanks for the feedback! I am relieved that I didn't botch the grammar, because I will admit that its not my strongest area
Just read the whole thing up to here, and I like what I've read so far. There's a lot of mysteries set up, even starting right in the first chapter, which is a good hook. So far I'm only really invested in Athena though, and I'm not sure the other characters have had a chance to stand out yet.

Athena is the main character of this story, though many of the side characters are simply building up at the moment.
I am glad that you have enjoyed the story so far!
Another great chapter. I enjoyed how you used this chapter to get to know the characters a bit more, as well as introduce Sombra (I wasn't expecting him to be a part of this story)
good story, keep writing.
