Canterlot Orphan Twilight Sparkle receives a surprise when Princess Luna offers to take Twilight as her personal protege. Under Luna's tutelage, a new Valkyrie is born.

1. Don't you mean Planes? 2. Just a minor extra fullstop here.
Ahh yes, good to see this fic being updated... I can feel it now, the memories of a badass Twi kicking the Cloudsdale Trio of Numbskulls... Such a fine moment to remember and a pity for... well, not pity for the 'teachers' who went to 'pick' their orphans so to speak... All in all, it might have been a lonely Christmas for more than one of us, it's these quiet times that also tend to help us reflect and think more than anything else.
5427330 In this case, ivory is from an "age long past". As in, an ancient civilization that used a lot of ivory that now no longer exists. Maybe Equestria is built upon the bones of said civilization... some minor foreshadowing maybe?
5426278 Glad to have done so. Still not used to people actually wanting more of my stuff.
5426374 Not abandoned. Not yet. Just needed to get over my minor bout of depression. Happens every now and then, as hard as I try to ignore it.
5426409 Alive and kicking! Well, mostly. Still gotta finish updates to my other 3 stories waiting in the wings...
5426509 Fixed those, thanks. And yea. Not entirely sure what motivated me to do something productive. But I did it, and to hell to the depression that always strikes me this time of year.
5426639 Fixed, thanks. To be honest, good to be back. Kind of forgot what it was like, logging on to FimFiction to see 100+ notification about one of my fictions.
5426753 I bet. *Opens up FimFiction. Browsing the featured box. Sees Valkyrie. "Holy hell where did that come from?!"*
5427178 Eh, smart ass. Guess I'll just have to step up my game. It'll be easy, now that I've found a new way of writing that involves less typing and more talking to my phone... Hehe.
Wait... You say in the Author's Note that the Sun doesn't rise in Equestria... But then why the heck does Twilight refer to Luna as the one who "Raises the Sun and the Moon" ? (Or control, I can't remember the exact words used. Point being: You made it clear early on that the Sun does rise in Equestria, but now you're contradicting it o_O )
5428229 Precisely, although it hasn't yet been blatantly talked about. Luna brightens the moon signalling the start of a new "day" (night). Then she dims it when it is time for her ponies to be sleeping.
So still following it. Don't you feel my breath on your neck? Anyhowlzes. Great chapter again and the world building is fantastic. Keep it up and keep it coming.
What a wonderful story! I am willing to support this story to the fullest I tip my imaginary Stetson, to you, great writer. You have caught a lot of my attention.
5431431 I may not be the only child, but at this point I'm certainly not a child of my parents. Its always my damn younger sister they fawn over, because she's just going to do so much wonderful things in her life. She's gonna go to college and immediately find a high paying job after completing school, she's going to be able to live a life of comfort, yada, yada. She's just the perfect child. And I'm the failure. Her Christmas present? Brand spanking new computer from dad. My Christmas present? Jack shit. Got completely ignored. Again.
If I had my way, I'd server all my ties and change my last name.
5431748 Sorry. I didn't mean to take it out on you. Its just... frustrating, y'know? I write. I love to write. Dream of becoming an actual author one day. And my dear parents can't be bothered to ready any of my works. Even the non-pony ones. So sometimes I feel like there's no point in writing at all.
Thanks for the update
IT LIVES!!!*
*this is mandatory on anything that takes more then six(6) months to update. please don't shoot me

It's good to see that you're alive :) Welcome back to the land of the publishing.
I have to say, this feels like Ranger's Apprentice...I like this!
Loading Chekov's Gun with a big bullet here. Let's wait and see if it ever goes off.
Dont worry, I'm still here. I was rather surprised to see this in the feature box.
wicked update love this story so much
Best Christmas gift ever
Finally!
Current writing speed; 6826 words a year. That's 18.7 a day! Who knows, if you keep this up, you might even finish before 2050
Just a bit confused because, you don't find ivory in the earth. Unless it belongs to the corpse something with ivory tusks.
5427330 In this case, ivory is from an "age long past". As in, an ancient civilization that used a lot of ivory that now no longer exists. Maybe Equestria is built upon the bones of said civilization... some minor foreshadowing maybe?

5426751 SHH!! You'll spoil it all!

glad to see this is beeing updated was starting to worry it was going to be a dead story. keep up the good work.

Works can evolve and change. There's no reason an author cannot change something.
5427779
Thank you cap'n obvious, but it's still a contradiction. If he wants to change it, then it should be prudent to point it out, no?
5427377 I am, and I'm proud of it
5427606 That's actually an editing mistake I simply did not catch.
5428173
So... No Sun in Equestria? What then? A Bright and Not-Bright moon?
Woo update!
This is a lovely thing to find this morning. Thank you.
Thank you, Flicka! I love this world and I'm glad to see some more of it. Now to go and re-read.
5428229 Precisely, although it hasn't yet been blatantly talked about. Luna brightens the moon signalling the start of a new "day" (night). Then she dims it when it is time for her ponies to be sleeping.
5428523
I assume the brightness is equal (or close to equal) to the sun's? It... kinda has to be, after all :P
5428528 Yes, pretty much. Me, I've always had an issue with Celestia controlling both sun and moon in canon... so this is my response to that.
But, if you notice, they still use lamps all the time. So its not too bright out when its "day".
5428634
But at least it is as warm... I hope? They'd kinda sorta die if not
So still following it.
Don't you feel my breath on your neck?
Anyhowlzes. Great chapter again and the world building is fantastic. Keep it up and keep it coming.
Dragon san
I squee'd.
YES
What a wonderful story! I am willing to support this story to the fullest
I tip my imaginary Stetson, to you, great writer. You have caught a lot of my attention.
Fav, Track, and Follows for you!
5429591 Welcome to the fiction! Enjoy the ride, as I'm quite positive it'll be a fun one!
I never noticed the lack of sunlight. Will I need to re-read it to notice the changes? (it was kind of a big deal in Nights Favored Child ...)
5429801
I would suggest re-reading. There's some neat new stuff in the edited chapters.
5430578
cool thanks
Glad to see that this is being updated, welcome back!
Bah, wait until you're a single childless loser at my age, then talk about being lonely.

Well, dang. Okay, you win. And I'm sorry for that.
5431748 Sorry. I didn't mean to take it out on you. Its just... frustrating, y'know? I write. I love to write. Dream of becoming an actual author one day.

i missed this story!
That whole summoning scene was just so neat, I had to reread it a half dozen times just for the effect of it.
5437831 Yes, that's got to be my favorite part of the entire chapter.
I'm getting somewhat of a Dragon Age vibe from all this... what with the suntouched, that reminded me of the Darkspawn slightly.
