This shows a whole lot of promise. Here's hoping it delivers.

I like where this is going.

Hopefully I'll be able to write more when more free time / willpower arrives.

Pretty much seems to be 90% of my life at the moment.

hmm interdresting i shall track

Most curious... I wonder what she saw.

(I could've sworn I'd posted this earlier, but apparently not.)

It is said that all that was found when the castle proper was built, all the builders found was a fine white powder covering the floors, no trace any civilization

This chapter seems to have been rushed; it has lots of issues, some more obvious (such as the above) than others ("ba-ba-ing" over "bleating"). I suggest finding an editor to refine each chapter before you post them, and adding on to this chapter before moving on to a fourth.

Anyway, story-wise, I'm expecting the flashback to be related to Nightmare Moon's origin. My question is, if Luna was participating in recalling the memories, why was the "dark blue figure" treated without recognition?

Just fixed that. Thanks.

The "Ba-ba-ing" is the origin of the word "barbarian", as the Greeks thought all foreigners made sounds like sheep, and named them accordingly. It's meant to represent her not understanding their speech.

The whole flashback/memory section is from the alien mare's perspective, so she has no clue who Luna or Celestia are.

Short chapter, but excellently written.

This is really just an interlude chapter for what it is Luna actually saw inside the mind of the alien mare.

Shouldn't be too long now, done part of the next chapter already.

The hell... So this is kinda like Contact meets 2001: A Space Odyssey, except with insanity instead of space baby?

Bet that was unexpected.

Don't worry though, future parts won't suddenly turn into a sci - fi fest, The cast aren't going to go dimension hopping to some dystopian universe like that any time soon. I'll probably focus on the rehabilitation of the two vat-ponies.

>>15772691577269 Hella unexpected. I don't even understand what happened... I couldn't even figure out who the POV was. Celestia? The vat-pony? I got no idea. Not sure if I would be taking pride in that, if I were you.

>>15773311577331

In terms of POV, it could really be taken as either. I intended it to be Celestia looking through the vat-pony's memories of the event, but in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter that much.
