Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, Hero of Equestria and first casualty in the Changeling war. When she passed she became the rallying cry for the Equestrians in the short lived war. When Chrysalis attempts a surprise attack on Canterlot a mysterious figure in armor appears and slays Chrysalis in front of the princesses. Now it's time they learn that anyone can change.

For better or worse.

Her service has ended, her armor removed and tucked away deep in a locked chest beneath her bed. But Fizzlepop Berrytwist hasn't escaped her past just yet. Memories of actions taken in the Storm King's service haunt the mare formerly known as Tempest Shadow.

But a tiny sparkle in the shadows lights the way to a new future.

Tonight, Princess Luna wanders over Equestria, reflecting on her past decisions, and her own self-worth. As much as Luna has grown and overcome inner turmoils over the years, thanks to her sister and friends, she still can't shake the feeling that her night is inferior to her sisters day. But an unexpected admirer of hers stops for a chat.

Cover Artist: Vird-gi

I not only dedicate this story to anyone who may be feeling down as of recently, or at any point in their life. But also my cover artist Vird-Gi, who has been feeling a little low lately. Her cover art for this story will be coming soon, but it has been postponed. I want to give her time to feel better and look after herself first, as her well being is more important than cover art.

Hope you feel better soon, dear.

(UPDATE:)
She is feeling better! The cover art came out better than I could have imagined. You are a wonderful artist! I recommend her to everyone!

Credit to: PrussiAntique For amazing edits and advice, of which the story wouldn't have come together properly without. You are a star!

She's a princess. If not THE Princess. You know- the ruler of Equestria, keeper of the sun, most powerful being on earth, all that jazz.
It's not your fault she's also unbelievably, irrefutably, incomparably gorgeous.

But it was your fault that she overheard you saying just that. Oh yeah, it really was. And let me just tell you something:

To let that happen was really freakin' stupid.

We've been featured! As of 08/10/2018! Thanks a lot you guys!

They whisper and slowly, they're taking matters into their own hands.

A flip of a coin. A twist of fate.

Twilight Sparkle, younger sister of Princess Celestia's personal student, Shining Armor, grew up listening to her brother's bygone dreams of joining the elite of the elite: The Royal Guard.

Now, fresh out of the Academy, this young mare is ready to prove herself equal to the deeds of the great soldiers she read about as a filly. Too bad the princess she ends up protecting isn't Celestia.
