It is the Summer solstice, and what ought to be the longest day of the year. The sun should have risen over three hours ago. And yet the moon still hangs in the sky, and the Mare in the Moon is gone.

How does Queen Chrysalis react?

I enjoyed the story. Great job! :twilightsmile:

Please continue on this, it is a very interesting story concept.

5736266 I'll see what I can do. I've been meaning to get into writing more.

5736284 Thanks :twilightsmile: I really hope you continue because i can't wait to find out what's going to happen :twilightblush:

Nicely written, and such an awesome origin story!!! I would love to see more with this.

I'll be honest. When I first saw this I was skeptical. An entire story in under 2,000 words is generally not my happy thought. But I figured I'd give it a shot, since it seemed interesting and not only was this absolutely great, but making it longer wouldn't make it any better. I mean, I very much would love to see more, but as far as this specific scene goes? Perfect.

Princess Luna, who went by the name Nightmare Moon in her rebellion.

Perhaps this is due to the changelings not fully understanding the situation, but the idea that Luna was simply going by a different name (as opposed to actually being Nightmare Moon, a distinct personality) is incredibly interesting to me. Gives a much more malevolent impression of her, that the whole thing might be a hoax so she'd have a scapegoat to blame. If that is what's going on and I'm not just reading too much into things that'll prove very interesting if you continue. And of course I'm sure everyone reading this story is wondering how the invasion plays into this.

One of the most fascinating portrayals of the Changeling's origins I've ever read.

An interesting take on both Nightmare Moon/Luna as well as the Changelings and their motives for invading Canterlot.

It does raise questions now as to how Luna reacted to her creations invading the city and the like.

And now makes me question even more where she was.

If you do continue this it would be most interesting but if you choose not to then the story also works well.

Huh. This is an interesting variation of the story. Good job thinking this up, it takes alot of imagination to make this kind of thing. Danka komrade

Entirely possible, the wording just stuck out to me, enough so that I still think about this fic when considering changelings like a year or so after reading it. I do so adore both variations on changelings and Luna/Nightmare Moon, and combining both in one story? Too good for me to not get my hopes up a little :twilightsheepish:

But either way would be interesting to see, if Astronelson decided to do anything with it :raritywink:

7423798 then again it could be on purpose by the author to inspire thought, what you said is certainly interesting to think about. Since this incident it is possible luna has been using Nightmare Moon as a figure to shift the blame to. Makes me think about what she is planning now that most pones in equestria are beginning to trust her more.

She was suspiciously absent during the channeling invasion as well. Sure, she was present before everything went down, but then during? Nowhere to be seen. Often people claim she slept through it, although that doesn't actually make sense; a royal wedding is the kind of thing she should be awake for. Not to mention there are sixteen hours in a day, surely she doesn't sleep them all. Keeping this fic in mind, the circumstances surrounding Luna's absence are highly suspicious, to say the least :trixieshiftright:

7423844 to be honest, im going off of what ive seen in fanfics for info on the story, im still watching season 1, just near the end, so i didnt know luna was absent for that. I wonder if it was on purpose or if they forgot to put luna into the story?
