Two hundred years have passed since the Elements of Harmony were laid to rest. Now Celestia and Luna feel an upcoming threat on the horizon and have recruited one of the Royal Guards who is revealed to be the Element of Loyalty to find the remaining bearers along with the socially secluded insane descendant of Twilight Sparkle, Grimoire who is fittingly the Element of Magic. What kind of adventures lie in store for these two completely different ponies? And exactly how safe can one be when around the strongest magic user in Equestrian History with the mentality of a sociopath?
Chapters (4)
Maybe.
i have a question.
if 200 years have passed will we still get a cameo from Spike. After all dragons live a long time.
Lieutenant Hawkeye?

I hope Spike is in this story.
Perhaps.
You should have Grimoire's mentality be sociopathic instead of psychopathic. Might be more interesting that way, since it would be half asshole half psychopath instead of full psychopath.
I think you mean absoluteanime.com/fullmetal_alchemist/riza.jpg
What I was expecting:

Thank you for not doing that.
This looks interesting and it scratches an itch of mine about 'who comes after the original mane 6?'
Oooh and I like grimoire. Has a demented sherlock holmes feel, intellegient with a mentally insane problem
Oh, and spot on description of celestia. Most useless princess ever
Wasn't terribly sold on the premise of the princess's reaction to Grimoire. I personally don't care about any of my friend's relatives unless they give me a reason to like them. Anyway It's still an interesting premise. +1 like

I agree. mentally insane people, or ponies, make it even more fun. And since the Princesses say they have a promise they uphold, they can't touch him, well besides if he does a crime. So that would mean that both Princesses would be useless against him.
I'm totally expecting Grimoire to be like your average socially detached, slightly problematic kid in school...who also has magic powers out the ass...sort of like Tom Riddle.
It just kind of fits, he has good connection to powerful people, could very likely be celebrated for his powers, and yet there's always that person. But regardless of how much people like/dislike him..that one person who seems the slight tilt to everything he does that should worry everyone else...
Except here everyone knows he's insane
I see Spike in the future!
Your off to a great start my friend keep up the good work
Tracking this in hopes of seeing Adult Spike.
Also if you could manage to put this into your story at some point, I would be so very grateful
I like
I got a feeling that Grimoire will end up becoming one of my favorite characters ever. I love insane, smart people
1726081 I was waiting for someone to make that connection.
1728819 Yeah it's one of my favorite animes. Great name choice for the element of loyalty though.

Contrary to (apparently) popular belief, those terms actually mean the same thing, being older terms referring to the symptoms of Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Sherlock Holmes? More like Hannibal Lector.
Witch reference? nice.
1731018 Current definitions of psychopath and sociopath do state that they are the same thing, only psychopath is worse, since sociopaths only lack morals and/or a social conscience, while psychopaths have the lack of ability to love or establish meaningful personal relationships, they have supreme egocentricity, and they are unable to learn from experience.
1728819i got to ask about spike is he going to be in the story too because dragons are suppose to be able to live for thousands of years plus i like what you did there with grimoire i can relate being insane in some of the same ways he is. all and all id have to say you have done a tremendous job in creating a great story and i look forward to more of this and the darkness series as well. great job. you always to pull through with amazing stories so here a up vote
1762596 Thought you'd all get a kick out of that.
LOL this chapter was hilarious.
Hilarious.
Hawkeye was hilarious, I thought of food immediatley instead of sex.
I thought of vanilla ice cream. Would not have thought of a salad with mayonnaise.
I'm sensing that all the glitters isn't gold around here...

Is that a stab at the captain?
A Seventy-inch, plasma screen tv. With Netflicks
1764302 And get that bitch a cannon. Bitches love cannons!
I was laughing sooo badly in this chapter.
1768550 That's what I was going for.
troll I CALL FUCKING TROLL
sheesh but anyways i like this chapter and cant wait for more
Insanity i can relate to. Nice. Also i agree. He should be more of a self controlled sociopath. This is due to the fact he will need to eventually connect with the others.
Nice. Also Grimoire, great character. He states simply the truth and the others take it for what they want it to be. Interesting.
1793033 Interesting. Most people don't read into the characters' psychologies, they just read the surface and laugh at some of the things they say. You're clearly a more critical reader.
Neutered Big Mac? OUCH!!!
1865968 eeYUP
This story is just getting beter and beter and beter.
