Oof

Meanwhile, the Crystal Empire is a slave labor camp where Shining Armor was able to kill a giant amorphized pony monster without a single loss by employing a giant necromorphed corpse monster made out of ponies.

I flew through the whole story and this is so bad I'm just sticking around to see how the author drops each spinning plate.

Re-read the story after two years and it's not only great, but it's even getting better.
I really appreciate it. Thank you.

This is so great!
I see that Celestia is trying her manipulation games again: coercing Nightmare Moon to fight with her forces, against the Humans.
Despite the actions made, she knows full well what an asset she would lose, if 'justice' found her to be executed.
I believe that the Empress has already figured out the plan, no matter how obvious it would seem to most.
Now the question is: why should Nightmare Moon, fight alongside Celestia, and Luna.

What ever, if the fight ever occurs, would the humans be kind enough to not mention the deal Celestia made with them? .

The more time passes, the more I'm thinking this story is bordering the realm of "Tragedy".
