The Royal Guard. As in the guard of the princesses/equestria or whatever. Are they a joke of a law enforcement organisation? That's only not seen as good since the vast majority of Equestria's population are incredibly loyal to the government and law abiding citizens. Think about it, if the crime rate is at virtually zero, why would you need to invest into a great law enforcement organisation? Seem to be more of a ceremonial organisation, if anything.

First of all, this blog relates to The Royal Guard, so if you have no interest in that group or its activities, just ignore this post.

I really don't get it. I get a funny scene in my head of someone from the Royal Guard assuming another pony wanted to join the Royal Guard Academy, only to realise that it's actually Gallus, a griffon, and gets flustered because its something that has never happened before. I post it on Wednesday afternoon, and by the end of the day it got less than 20 upvotes and just over 100 views, and I was perfectly happy with that.

Shepherd: "Okay troops... Today your assignment is to guard the Incredibly Dangerous Weapons Vault! Let's work on things like we practiced."

The troops agree, and then take up their positions. And very soon, a little filly with red hair comes in. She smiles up at the guards.

Applebloom: "Hello! May I please go into the Incredibly Dangerous Weapons Vault, mister? Pretty please?"

Guard 1: "Well... I don't know. It is very dangerous."

The Story of a Royal Guard series is now officially The Guard And His Sword. A slight play off of 'The Horse And His Boy.' I would've gone with 'The Sword And Its Horse' but that sounded ridiculous and slightly inaccurate. 'The Horse And His Sword' was also considered, but... well, he's a pony. 'The Pony And His Sword' doesn't work as it doesn't give enough about who he is. He's a guard. Thus the title.

Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2nd Edition and Physical Printing

I'm about halfway through the MoaRG 2nd edition. I've been making some tweaks here and there to tie it better to the stories that follow it without damaging what was originally written. I'm not George Lucas!

If you haven't noticed yet! Go read and let me know what you think, feedback and commentary are much appreciated!

The Battle of the Everfree was still raging hard. Sliverfang watches as several Royal Guards marching through the trees. The Celestial-Luna War was starting to turn against them. By now, the Lunar Guards where at the shorter end of the stick. They were out of arrows and the Royal Guards were pushing them back. They had to bite back.

Silverfang leaned against a tree, watching as the other thestrals got behind cover as well. They stayed there for a few minutes.

So, even though I am not writing right now, I've got a good backlog so as well as it being the one year anniversery for Memories, I am posting another chapter of Canterlot in Flame!

Read More

So, I am going to publish Canterlot in Flames, Chapter 7: Drums in the deep, here shortly. Likely sometime tonight, since it's the middle of the day and I am pretty sure not all of my subscribers are out of school yet like I am.

So, a few things about this chapter.

So, I am going to publish Canterlot in Flames's 15th Chapter here shortly! Only five more chapters to go before the end of the story!

It's not a long chapter, and is more transitional than anything else, but it's still got some important stuff in it, so I hope you all enjoy it.

Onto some news, however....

So, I am working on the 18th Chapter right now, so I've got a good backlog, but I am going to be putting it on pause over the weekend for two reasons.

Good afternoon, and evening, everyone!

So, the next chapter of Canterlot in Flames is about to be posted. I figured I'd give you my usual heads up and point it out.

Good evening, everyone!

So, I am about to publish the second chapter of Canterlot in Flames, which will reveal the fate of our dear A.K. Yearling, who in the last chapter was more or less being hit full in the back by the shockwave of the Shadowbolts' cannon while protecting her soon to be nephew, Trick Step. Not to mention, the Captain of the Guard is dead! How many other ponies have suffered this fate? How bad off is Canterlot now? And for that matter, what happens now?

That's all you need to know, really!

So go check it out!

So, it's that time again!

Chapter 14 is a short one, and ties up some loose ends from the previous chapter, and also ties into PtH a little but (But I won't spoil how, you have to read it to find out), as well as delving in a little deeper into what exactly a Jaeger is!

Which, let me tell you, is not a pretty thing. I have to thank Jim Hoxworth, though on talking me through the Jaeger process, and making me feel dirty for writing about it!

So, chapter 19 is here, and as soon as I am done writing this post I'll go hit the publish button!

There isn't a lot to say about the chapter, except that it's sad, and it wraps up the majority of the stuff left with CiF, anything that is leftover gets dealt with in chapter 20.

One thing I will say, though, is that the chapter is dedicated to my grandfather (Kenneth Darcy) and a friend of mine from Middleschool (Nick Change) who both passed away this year.

Blue woke up a few minutes later. He looked down to see his chest had been hit by a magic blast. He blinked before noticing he was laying against a tree with Pharynx and Dagger at his sides, still unconscious.

Or, as my friend Zol likes to call this chapter "Lode Stone's shining moment".

So, this chapter is offically titled "Breaking the Bank" in which we see Daring, Dawn, Wind, Lode Stone, and another pony who has a very personal vendetta against the Shadowbolts go and take down Equestrian National Bank!

The following is a scene from the latest chapter of The Iron Horse, "Television Rules the Nation." This scene expands on the brief scene in the Everfree Forest with the teleportation jump tower being set up by the TechQuestrian personnel under cover of night, but in this version, the Royal Guard spot the tower and investigate.
