that actually reminds me of a concept i am working with. that unicorns with exceptional power, like twilight, often suffer from what can only be called insanity with a function. the magic causes enormous strain on a unicorn foal's mind if there is too much of it, and the mind will distabalize on purpose to prevent a more violent breakdown.
this insanity eventually calms down after a certain amount of time, though it is very disruptive in theri development. it can manifest in several ways, from paranoia, hallucinations, irrational thought, even psychotic breakdowns and violent outbursts.
then again in equestria hwere the abstract has substance and metaphors hold true power, you never know what might appear.
Is the boogeypony Sombra?

The boogeypony.

Ok, so pretty much.
AAHH! Boogeypony!
Hmmm... if Cadence is "the usurper" and now it appears that Sombra was in his dreams... oh, wait, maybe those were no dreams, but,,, memories? Like, him being Sombra reincarnate?
Nah, that would be too much... right?
Hmm... One husband and five wives make six ponies. And six is a very magical number in this setting. I'm almost certainly reading too much into this, but still...
I have to love Bucky teasing Sentinel. Yes, my boy, you are going to be hanging around princesses on quite a regular basis. I can only imagine his reaction the first time he sees them toss decorum and dignity to the side. Sentinel seeing a drunken Luna, there's a wonderful mental image...
And that's quite a nice bit of dramatic irony at the end there. Celestia probably had her suspicions about the legacy of Sombra, but here it was confirmed. And so, as is her nature, she began to plan...
At least, I assume that's the case. This is Celestia we're talking about. Your Celestia, no less.
In any case, looking forward to more.
Twilight Sparkle, Princess of books. That is where I lost it.

Waaait...
Didn't you say Bucky was going to lose his horn and replace it the way Sombra did? And now it comes out that he had nightmares as a foal about him? The plot thickens....
I'm wondering something. I don't know for sure if it's been said that the Isles has some form of sweetener, like molasses, but I'm guessing there's something. All that leads up to me wondering, if Bucky has the template, could he replicate some the candies that they received? Even if the replication isn't accurate, hopefully it's good enough.
Or, at the very least, they could've set up an agreement for regular snack deliveries.
Ice crysssstalssss....
Bucky, that was a bit cruel. But, Sentinel did well there. I am now seeing him trembling with fear as he reads out/takes a letter to/from one of the princesses.
First of all, thanks for the update.
Second, sorry to keep saying the same thing over and over, it´s just i donpt really understand, i canpt explain, why this chapter, and those two before with Berry, sounds so, SO good and natural. Chapter 80 was good, no doubts, but it does not have the same feeling. I though that it was something related to the ammount of characters, at the same time, making it hard to go deeper. But this chapter has a good number of characters too (although the "core" of it has only two) and, yet, it have, again, that marvelous natural and touching dialogues.
Sentinel just became great.
If a may make a complain, Piñata really need some love. She sounds as a shadow for Dinky...i think that the "tingle" thing you introduced in the chapter 80 is the beginning of some development for her.
And i would like to point that the "boogeypony" thing is more important then we all think. It´s very clear that those lost memories have something related to all this.
Again, thanks a lot for the amazing fic !
I'm guessing the difference between Bucky and Sombra will be Sombra lost his family.
all i can say is DAMN MAGIC, YOU SCARY!

To add to your statements. The shadow wolves are related to Sombra and his use of dark magic.
Bucky is related to Sombra, (descendent of a child of rape perhaps. I don't see Sombra loving anypony but himself). This would tie in with the idea of Cadence as the usurper. Sombra's body was destroyed but was his spirit?
that was a really sketchy story
Boogypony = Sombra that much was obvious.
4690382
How so?
What do you mean by sketchy?
4690953 his story about how celestia showed up, and suddenly the dreams were gone? sketchy.
It might be another "innocent case" of remove the memories, but either way, sketchy. Especially since the described pony sounds like sombra, and he wants to emulate sombra methods (you know which one im talking about)
Bucky vs. Sombra or Bucky and Sombra vs. The world? *gasp* what if bucky could control the wolves?
For for some reason this picture was the first thing that entered my mind when I realized that the boogiepony was sombra

(Replace trixie with Bucky and make it a horror induced nightmare instead of a catchy musical number)
I am not doubting it anymore, either Bucky is the first descendant of sombra that the old king found worthy or some powerful soul magic is in the works here.
I mean, it would make sence with him being able to use shadow magic, having been plagued by him as a child and the compulsuary thought he had when he saw candance was referring to the Crystal empire.
4690066 then again we need to remember that by the time line in this story sombre was still "alive" when Bucky was a foal and has been alive and dead when the wolves where still there. My guess is this.
Sombra , the ever-greedy piece of shit that he was wanted more land and set his gaze on the isle. Wanting to spend as little effort as possible while still conquering the place he decides to soft them up a bit. Enter, the shadow Crystal (or whatever). Using a tainted Crystal created by your truly and the essence of the timberwolves found in the everfree-Forrest, it too being corrupted by the kings magic and a ley-line he has created a true masterpiece of a magical terror weapon. By first tainting the timberwolf essence to not possess wood but to use shadows instead and giving it some of his fear-based abilities we have a hard to kill and deadly monster that will terrorize exhaust and kill the inhabitants. It needs a binding point though so we centralice it in a crystal that will serve as a spawn point for any new wolves should any be killed. Then, the true master stroke of the abominable creation, we stab it right into a ley-line. This will provide the Crystal with energy to produce wolves indefinetly.
So he plants that but before he can do more the princesses come and do what we know they did but the Crystal remained.
That is at least my idea of what seems plausible.

Bucky uses dark magic, not shadow magic.
Big difference.
Luna uses shadow magic, Celestia uses dark magic.
4692066 ok, but i ment dark magic
Maybe this boogeypony is controlling the shadow wolves? It's kind of thing Sombra would do...
Or it's another thing. I don't know. Always doubts.
Curse me and my otaku nature. I automatically associated "moron" with "idiot" and thus replaced the word with "baka"...
'sigh' ....always has to be that last line huh? Celestia-damned Sombra
Why does that boogeypony part feel like a foreshadowing?...
“Yes sir, it is,” Sentinel answered. “For my kind, what little I know of my kind, service is our highest honour. It is what we do. We were made to serve. To have honour. I wish I knew more about my kind. I feel like I know so little. But the things I do know I hold to very closely, because it is all that I have that makes me what I am.”
I know how Sentinel feels. I'm descended from the Campbell clan in Scotland and my direct family were guardians. My family has served as Marines, Navy, Air Force, and Army in every armed conflict for the past 100+ years and I am a Security Officer (military and police wouldn't take me due to mental issues). I just wish I knew more about my great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather, the Duke of Argyle. Sigh, I know almost exactly how Sentinel feels.
Hmn. I think this is AU spreading back quite a bit. Pre rise of Sombra. I had inklings at first, but now with the boogie pony, his temperamental tier 4 magic, his thoughts on crystal foci, and unicorn enhancement. Bucky is likely not who he seems. Sombra indeed.
4696349 Look at the wolves powers. i suspect it very much is foreshadowing. We shall see soon enough.
I'm calling it. The boogeypony is Sombra. Think about it.
4782963 well duh, I mean, look at him!
4745237
And when you got there, Celestia might be a very busy pony
1. Get.
Well... pretty much everyone here already confirmed the boogeypony's identity... Not much else to add
4782963 we'll just wait and see then... Although it does kind of go hand in hand with his thoughts wanting to destroy Cadence.
Looks like Sombraro is working the possesion angle now.
:|
An awesome chapter, I approve of this!
I'm going to go off of the comments and say Sombra has a hand in this? Or should I say hoof?
Nice job anyway

Very few of stay to continue our practice of herding.
Not sure if you might want to remove 'of' or insert 'us' or 'them'?

Because of Occam's Razor, this will be important, probably.
