Okay, in terms of the story premise, it's not bad.
However, the execution is flunky.
Let's take a sentence from the ending paragraph.

"You think YOUR going to be in truble? there going to have my head!" he looked at him with wide blue eyes.

Ouch. That hurts to read. You obviously don't have an actual editor, making errors like these extremely widespread and conspicuous.
Let's rework that phrase, shall we?

"You think you're gonna be in trouble?" Allie shouted, "You're a guard! I'm a draconequus! They're gonna want my head, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Better? BETTER.
Your Middle English needs work, too. Right now, it sounds like Luna's translating from a Hebrew-English dictionary that was written in 1850.

"Thine sister is in trouble! I have cometh to help!"

"Thine" meant "Your" in here. This looks better:

"No sister of mine shall go without assistance!" Luna shouted, peering around the dimly lit room, "We have come to aid thee!"

Looks better, cleaner sentence structure, fits into canon, (the "royal we") and it even translates well.

If you can't find an editor, at least run the story through Microsoft Word. That should at least fix most of your mechanics.

I would write a proper review of this, but the grammar, sentence structure and homophone usage are so bad that my main advice would boil down to 'Learn to English' over and over. I cannot stress this enough. 'Dissapere', 'royle gard'... what the hell is this? I would think you were EASL, but you're not making any of the typical mistakes someone learning the language would, afaik (no word order fuckups, and your capitalisation issues aren't consistent enough). You just write like you never got out of year three English classes. Like... can I trust you with Spot The Dog? I think Thomas the Tank Engine might be just a bit too difficult for you, at the moment.

Not kidding, you need this link. One of the few authors who actually appear to need it. Go back to school. Use spellcheck. And fire your editor, they're obviously not up to snuff. Try again, by all means, but learn how to capitalise properly, at least, in the meantime. Read up on early-modern English before you attempt to write it, because by the looks of it, you can't even handle basic modern English.

Once again, the link for you. Basic English classes.

First off...This story Gets ALOT more hate then my first one

2930214 I mean, I would, but I'm swamped with my own work, a collab, and I'm already editing for someone else, so I can't.:applejackunsure:

Have you checked in the looking for editors group?

Ah, sorry I missed your reply. Start small, work big. Here's a nice, easy one. Capitalise 'I' whenever it appears by itself. Not 'i', not 'im', use 'I' and 'I'm'. Start every sentence with a capital letter... after all, your pinkie isn't doing anything else when you touch type on a qwerty keyboard, so why not press shift on occasion? You seem to manage to capitalise random words in the middle of sentences well enough (which you shouldn't do, by the way, this isn't German), so is it really that hard to put them at the beginning of a sentence? Oh, and install a word processor. Openoffice works well, and has a built-in spellcheck that's much more reliable than Google Docs. That'll help minimise your 'royle gard' issues. All in all, it comes down to effort. How willing are you to buckle down and fix your writing style? Stop and re-read your writing after you've written it out. If you're as good at reading as you say, the mistakes will jump out at you.
