“Midnight Sparkle.”
“I have already told you I have matters in hand. Do not try my patience and stay out of affairs that do not concern you. I would rather not have to punish you.”
“As for your request for a blessing for you and those you have selected, I have one thing to say. If I find out you are gathering forces to stab me in the back as my previous Prime Apprentice had, you will share his fate, and it is not a pleasant one.”
“Queen Nightsong of Evernight.”

Hmmmm. I don't know about you guys, but this sounds very much to me like dear Queen Nightsong (hey , that's the exact same name as one of the she-wolves in one of my older Elfquest fanfics! What a coinky-dink, huh?) is hiding something from the ponies of Evernight? And especially her own Prime Apprentice?

What say all of you?

Anyway, can't wait til the next chapter to see what happens next!

Good to see you're still alive, AnnonyMouse. I hadn't seen hide nor hair of you since CoRoNa went on hiatus, and I was starting to worry.
Now, I have to say this was a remarkably fresh take on the Royal Banishment, and I love it! But I have to wonder, is the Sun just hovering over the other side of the planet? Or did Queen Nightsong put a filter over Evernight that dims the sun to look like a moon?
