Nightlight

After the Crystal Empire was saved Shining Armor and Cadance were crowned it's new rulers.

They had a lot to do now that the Empire had returned.

It was honestly a complete mess.

There was so much they needed to do.

Countless things needed to be updated including schools, and other pieces of infrastructure.

Well the time for the events of the first for comics as the Secretariat Comet approached.

Cadance and Shining Armor were to remain in the Crystal Empire in order to protect it from any threats that would appear.

Celestia and Luna were making preparations for the wyvern hoard that would be attacking.

Even if Chrysalis threatened to cause harm to the crusaders she would not.

I made sure that she knew that they were important for our future plans.

After that whole mess Chrysalis was trapped and clean up efforts were under way.

As for the Crystal Empire a group of six creatures called rahkshi but since they could not get passed the barrier they could wait for help sealing them up again.

Now to the events of the mirror pool incident.

Now here is the thing about the mirror pool.

The clones are new borns.

This means that they are easily excited, pinky clones more so.

Using this while knowing that Pinky will not be it the best of moods.

This means that I can using changeling spell methods to create a spell that will in a burst of magic that will only affect the clones.

Though I did make sure that a few of them were smuggled out before I had Celestia send it.

I had always felt bad for them but there was just to many.

And soon the magic dual.

Trixie had gotten her hooves on the counterfeit alicorn amulet.

I knew Twilight would be in good hands with Zecora.

The self destruct for the counterfeit amulet I made could be activated remotely so when Trixie discards it I will have it break apart after Zecora takes it.

Trick Star and I spoke about it after and when I told him that Twilight still has not realized that she has lived next to Trixie for years.

He mentioned that it was part of the reason why Trixie had a grudge against Twilight.

Moving on to the Summer Wrap-Up Hoedown and Festival in Ponyville.

Honestly I chose not to question how the crusaders made a siege weapon but at least they didn't get hurt.

Luna also had fun with Big Macintosh.

The crusaders and their sisters were going to be having their camping trip soon.

Knowing this I gave Luna a heads up for Scootaloo.

Shortly after the events of Wonderbolt Academy I asked Spitfire why she did not have Lightning court marshalled.

Turns out that the reason Lightning got off early was because Spitfire felt that she had been unintentionally encouraging that behavior.

After Twilight and her friends had their pirate adventure where they followed the map of the Wandering X and solved the book worm problem in the Golden Oaks Library.

Then came the time to uphold the first part of my promise to Discord.

After Discord was befriended by Fluttershy he actually learned about Calvin Ball without me.

Before he left Ponyville with Celestia he commented that he would be looking into Calvin Ball on his own.

When Twilight heard him she was kind enough to explain it to him.

When he learned the rules he eed in delight at them.

Now it is time for the magical mystery cure.

I must say that it was probably the strangest day in Canterlot for any who noticed the sky above Ponyville that morning.

I was worried that being a parent of the two most recent alicorn.

When I thought about it, makes sense that it never caused problems.

Then came the reflections series of the comics.

The alternate version of me did not believe in free will and ultimately chose the do nothing approach.

When the situation was over I told Celestia and Luna that this is why you do not intervene in the affairs of other worlds.

For the events of the season four finally it was the perfect time to take a vacation with Velvet to the Griffin Empire.

When Tirek ended up back in Tartarus he was not happy but I explained to him in the form of a shadow that he would still have another chance soon with powerful allies.

He seemed reluctant but seemed to acknowledge that he had little choice in the matter.

Discord really does enjoy interacting with the crusaders as an honorary member. The chaos those four cause was something else.

As for the series of robberies Trixie helped stop became a new source of annoyance from Trick Star.

Now the Everfree Forest going crazy was something that I had taken preparation for years but it was still a mess.

Talk about the evils of unregulated capitalism.

But a hoard of living apples was always going to be a weird day. That really was a strange issue.

Starlight Glimmer and her village.

That whole situation was honestly creepy but it all worked out in the end.

But now comes the siege of the Crystal Empire.

Chrysalis was definitely not happy about having to release the umbra from their prison but better to do it now than later.

Sombra still being around still irked her but there was not much we could do about that.

I did not really feel bad about their deaths, but I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if they were reformed.

Oh well.

Since Sombra was reformed this means that I must use that one for the roll instead.

As for Twilight's new castle I sent things that I thought would help make it feel like home for her.

As much I love the episode Tanks for the Memories, but the paperwork was a pain.

I had to pull a lot of strings to have Rainbow Dash not be arrested.

I had never really considered it before but Kevin showing up to Cranky's wedding in his true form took guts.

I had also decided that it was best to keep the whole Tantabus situation a secret from Celestia but wow.

When the crusaders got their cutie marks it really put a smile on my face.

But I also felt terrible.

Bright Mac and Pear Butter have been forced to miss so many things because of me.
