//------------------------------// // Chapter 19.5 // Story: MLP A New Generation 3: The Rise of Armored Hoof // by TwiShine45 //------------------------------// These are the words that rang forth from Quarter's lips on that wondrous night at the Maretime Bay Day Festival. The album, Luna, had already been a severe sales success. However, with the performance going down as one of the greatest concerts of all time, it caused them to skyrocket even further. The band's third album, Twilight, would be released the following day, to great critical acclaim and even more sales. The band was quickly becoming the biggest thing in Equestria, and a nationwide tour was in the works. They'd also been invited to perform at Sunny's coronation in Canterlot.
