Well, that was kind of fucked up.
Dark and chilling... Thumbs up!
Actually...I don't entirely blame her.
Wonderfully done...
But where's the rest?
Don't be a cocktease. It's unbecoming.
And then they fucked!
...
...
...
Wrong story...sorry!
Ahem!
So tragic!
reading more of this kinda makes me feel like luna and reagdan were right and should just go chill out somewhere together, but thats just me
I do so enjoy Nightmare being written as a propper monster.
Damn Nightmare, calm the fuck down.
Wow! That was DARK as F***.
Now only if we could see what raedegan's past was
Monster's aren't born they are made. Either by themselves or by others usually a combination of the two.
...All he had to do was swallow his bloody pride... I'm not sure who's the real monster here, Nightmare? Or Crystal Drift, for dooming so many ponies with full knowledge he could stop this from happening.
It makes me wonder just how idiotic ponies are in this world. I mean, did they outright shun Luna just because she was the Mare of the Night. They couldn't even just give her a simple thing? I guess though this is kind of conflicting on personal headcanon but that's of no issue obviously.
Have a really good quote: "Those who fail to learn from the past, are doomed to repeat it."
The cycles continue on!
You know... I oddly still don't hate Nightmare for that. I feel nothing but a compelling sadness for her.
all he had to do was swallow his pride and she would have stopped, night never killed any of them she made here sister do it and there own pride she never personally killed one of them, it clearly shows that nightmare moon was stronger than Celestia she only beat her cause the had the elements, a dues ex machina otherwise nightmare would have won it is funny how everyone overlooks this
and the way nightmare/Luna acts she may be smarter too
Fucked up

I'm still with Luna on this one, it actually angers me a bit.

This is the darkest thing I ever read.
Very nice job.
6793631 Seriously? I mean its fucked up but this is only like 4/10 on the dark meter. Maybe 6/10.
6793631 it's only the third darkest thing I've read.
Kudos on this. but what exactly happened to Crystal afterwards is my question?
6793201 The reaction to Zecora in season one comes to mind...
And I thought I wrote dark stuff
6793765
Yeah, but you also have to look at who Zecora is compared to who Luna is. You have a rather unknown "pony" who lives in the Everfree compared to a ruler who they all fucking know.
Obviously that doesn't mean that hating Zecora was justified in anyway but there is more sense (still next to none) found in that situation then the one involving one of the royal alicorns that was watching over ponies at night and fought for them.
It's literally mind blowing to think that ponies can be so idiotic and narrow minded ... thankfully this AU isn't my headcanon.
That's fucking brutal. Love it
6793686
Was the darkest about a little girl who drown trying to save a puppy?
6794695
shhhhhhhhhh dont get science involved! it makes authors irritable.
trust me
6792994 Next two chapters are already written, just waiting for editing.
6793000 You are being charged with the cost of the loss of one Pepsi and wipe napkins for my monitor.
6793109 After the storytime event there will be an interlude of his life before Equestria.
6770977 Probably yes, but much later.
6793147 In his defense, you don't trust the devil's word and he thought it was just his life and Grit's that were really on the line.
6793201 Along with Raegdan there will be a Luna interlude showing her long before Nightmare Moon. God damn, I've got too much to write. I thought I would be halfway over by now when I started.
6794695 6794806 Yes, it does, because I am apparently a special kind of idiot. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Ok, that can be explained away somehow... uh, he is wearing leather gloves? No, forget I ever said that, wait... would he feel anything at all? Some pain? Apart from being cooked if he stayed in that lightning cloud long enough, cause then his immediate reaction does have an explanation that will show up in the chapter after the next one.
Somebody wear an armor and put his hand in a wall socket to test this for me.
6793115 Now this guy knows what's it all about.
6794866
ill wear the armor! send me an authentic english plate set, complete of course, and i will get zapped from various forms of electrical outputs! the suit of armor only costs somewhere between 10k-30k, more if you want it REALLY authentic. i dont even know how much shipping would cost
6793686
He lived but he also lived knowing that it was his fault that all his comrades and villagers were killed because he couldn't swallow his pride.
6793684
I feel it's worth a 7 or 8 out of 10. Drift was buried to his head and still had balls to talk shit and Nightmare Moon simply killed everyone he was suppose to protect.
6795078 compared to cupcakes, rainbow factory and a whole lot of other shit I've seen its low for me.
6794866 What would it have cost him to say "The night isn't evil"?
6794866
Maybe you can explain with the spell hitting a plate, which was not in direct contact with the other parts of the armor (something between the plates to reduce noise. WW1 chestplates had them), so electricity could only go through him. Or maybe some little edge of the armor got dented and cut into his body and that got electrocuted? You can even play that off as others thinking that injury came from a previous attack.
Also, even if being sorrounded by metal is the safest, those plates should heat up somewhat, which could make it rather uncomfortable, though not cooked probably.
Smart people reddit
Though sort of sad and understandable, being cast out is no reason to murder. While in Luna(/NMM)'s case, simply getting the hell out might not have been possible, What Nightmare just did was downright brutal. I mean, at least leave some alive to hear(and spread) the guard's answer. you only need one vocal person to denounce Celestia after something like this.
Though I am curious if Twilight now understand why was Raegnar so furious after Celestia sent her to fight those evils. And maybe try to understand the reasoning behind his plan (stress on the try).
Also, I find you lack of bat ponies disturbing. Will they appear later, or will you go with "it's an enchanted look"?
I love Nightmare Moon
6794323 No. think serial rapist under the influence of a mild rage virus let loose on an elementary school. and that wasn't what the story was even about. it was a "bonus chapter" that was dumbly titled so i wasn't expecting it. immediately stopped reading that author
6796126 Wise decision, holy shit.
Update! I love update notifications!
I call them notifications, they're under the feed section, but I call them notifications. Also good writing, I just wish I could appreciate the darkness a little more. It's not your fault I just know a lot of dark things.
6794866 Ah, okay. I was wondering why it was so damn short.
Hello darkness, my old friend~

Dat's pret'y brut'l, wouldn' ya shay, boyz?
Being a welder, I have a *distinct* feeling that:
1) the armor would lock up because the of the plates fusing together for better electrical transmission due to the electricity arcing between articulated plates, ie. finger joints, shoulder pauldrons/chest plate...
2) the places where the armor plates didn't touch, like the elbows, knees and hips would cause the electricity to jupmp from the armor to the skin or padding in order to bridge the gap..
Either way, the fused points would most likely get very warm, or you would get some 'arc wander' from the parts not in contact.
HOWEVER: If he was wearing chainmail under the armor, but over a quilted gabson(padded tunic), the electricity would have stuck to the chainmail and the armor plates, because quilted fabric and flesh provides more electrical resistance, thus forcing the electricity to skirt his body from the point of contact to the point of 'Ground'.
This is exactly why absolute loyalty is so dangerous. Expertly written and a very interesting way to make someone who is normally depicted as a hero actually a monster. The worst part is that he is the only one that survives and therefore has to live knowing that his pride is what got that village and his fellow guards killed. Considering how heavy that is on the mind I wouldn't be surprised if he offed himself soon after. Even though I'm used to reading/watching some pretty fucked up shit, this sent some shivers down my spine regardless.
Either this chapter wasn't there the first time I read the story or I must have skipped over it, because I don't think I would have forgotten this one if I had ever read it. That was rather impactful. It's one of the things I really like about this story, how conflicted it makes you feel about Luna. On the one hand, you can't help but pity her...
...but on the other hand, you can't say she got anything less than she deserved, either.
Damn. Good chapter. The lingering distrust is common to stories about or largely involving Luna but they rarely do much to justify the sometimes ridiculous extent it's taken to. This is clearly not one of those stories. With accounts like that floating around, they'd be fools to welcome her without hesitation. Magic healing rainbow lasers be damned.
Pride is such a damning thing.
*clap*
