Just an introvert who likes My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I also like to write MLP fanfiction. Twilight Sparkle is my favorite pony.

An archaeological expedition in the Badlands uncovers an ancient structure unlike anything seen before. After they gain access to the structure, they find it remarkably well preserved, and make an unexpected discovery, which sets into motion events long since predestined to pass.

Following the discovery, Princess Twilight Sparkle sets off to investigate, invited down to the dig site by Daring Do. As she sets hoof inside the structure, it begins to awaken, but even as the structure returns to life, the mystery only deepens.

You know I haven't read any daring do stories before and I'm not entirely sure why.

But this story has piped my interest and if it's good (which I'm sure it will be) I may start reading other daring do stories.

Hmm, well, this has definitely caught my interest, I'll tell you that much.

It caught my interest, please send us more. :twilightsmile:

Twilight's butt is SO famous they knew about it ten thousand years ago! :rainbowlaugh:

Ancient Knowledge swiftly picked the paper up from him with her wing, then read over the information, salivating at the prospect of whatever information it held as soon as her eyes read the title.

Wasn't Ancient Knowledge a unicorn?

Ancient Knowledge frowned, then reluctantly nodded in agreement upon further scrutiny of the doorway. "I think your right..." she grumbled. She sighed and hung her head, her ears folding back. "We should probably go send word that we managed to get in, along with what we've found. And you, Daring , have a train to catch," Ancient Knowledge said with smirk.

Should be you're.

Well this hooks my interest at least. Now to see what happens.

Darn typos! Wait... Oh, oh dear... I accidentally made an alicorn OC... Gonna have to fix that... Let me go grab a pair of clippers...

Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't notice that in my re-reading to look for errors!

8334027
Glad to help. You aren't the first I've pointed out to have turned a unicorn into an alicorn by accident so no worries.

That statue isn't a statue...and Ancient Knowledge is pretty dang suspicious.

Nice. I could feel the excitement build as I read.

She levitated out a marker, then quickly sketched out what Design first thought was going to be her cutie mark, only for her to stop with the central starburst.

Who is Design?

He lingered for a moment, then after she was assured nothing bad was about to happen, she strode forward.

She.

FIxed, thanks!

Why would you say that..? :duck:

Huh. I wonder how that alicorn died 'trapped' in the ruin when Twilight was able to just melt the door.

This is very interesting. Can't wait to see more.
Pretty clueless as to what's going goon right now, but I'm pretty sure there was some sort of alicorn society involved here.

If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?

8572406
That is a good question. In chapter 1, I envisioned Ancient Knowledge with an Australian accent. That has since changed, and now I have no idea.

Good thing they didn't decide to use plan E a minute earlier because plan E activating just as the door opened would lead to some big problems.

Ah, finally the statue comes to life! I look forward to hearing what it has to say...

Sounds interesting, if a bit slow-paced. Some action at last. Looks like my first theory about the plot was not correct, so... Keep going.

Looks like celestia and Luna get their own parts as well.:pinkiehappy::yay:

Starswirl shook his head. "No," he stated. "I saw another alicorn. She was wearing a cloak of light, and she outshined you and Luna combined," he stated.

A cloak of light

Light are photons (is photons? are made of photons? How do you say it)

More photons means more shining

Cloaks that shine emit photons.

A cloak covers

The evening covers the ground in a "cloak" of red and orange photons

Twilight comes after evening

Photons are very fast

teleporting is very fast (actually you could argue that your not moving very fast (or at all) since you bypass all the space between your starting and ending locations)

Teleporting gives of a flash, photons

You could say this is a bright "cloak"



I've got it. This secret and mysterious alicorn is flurry heart . I know, I'm a genius. I'll be taking my nobel prize now.

You know if it gets mentioned, it's either related or important somehow.

Chekhov's Incinerated Village? :rainbowlaugh:

9090056
What? You know it's true, otherwise, it'd feel like a cop-out.

Still! You don't know how it plays into the story! My incinerated village lives another day! :pinkiecrazy:

I’m calling it, there’s a new alicorn(s) that will be introduced, and the princesses will face this new threat(s). This will cause a large war, the war to end all wars, an end war shall we say.

Confess: The ancient structure was built by humans.

This is a good story.

It's back :yay:

And there's an ancient and evil alicorn... :twilightoops:. Still, could be worse, there could be two of them :pinkiecrazy:

i just had a thought. what if that dead alicorn is twilight only she was sent to the very distant past

Bout time you updated... good chapter.

Yes, well, I'm trying to keep up with this story... At the very least so that I can finish it and not have this story to stress me out by being incomplete... :twilightblush:

Although I do like the story/plot I have planned for this story and I'm excited to work on it, it's just slightly tedious... And, you know, I'm working on other stuff too. But I am trying to work on this also and would like to get back to a more regular update schedule!

Smart move, realising when you're outmatched, and going back to call for help. Hopefully Twilight is okay, but it's too early to really say.

Im getting a forerunner vibe from this, like halo

9414255
I am a fan of Halo, yes, and I'll admit I took some inspiration from the Forerunners...

9414260
All i could see in my head was the first flood level in halo 1 when i read this.

9414667
I have given thought to writing a story where a Flood Infection Form arrives in Equestria. But, ah, we already know how that ends...

Dragon combat forms, anyone? And, of course, infected alicorns. I can't decide which thought is scarier, but the latter is more disheartening.

9415063
so is this fic dead, or...?

9636875
9636450
As I have said in blog posts and in other comments, it's not dead. I currently have other priorities, and my current plans are essentially a "fall through" system, where I have prioritized in the following order to be completed: The Night's Stars, Glimpses of Regret, The End War, and finally Civil War of Harmony. Other one-shots and such short fics are not currently excluded.

It will just take time before I can get back to these other fics. Life is hectic right now.

However, I suppose an oversight on my part is failing to tag said stories as on Hiatus. I will update this.

If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?

Just read this chapter now. ...

I'm calling it now. It's a prison. They opened a prison cell. And that statue is a prisoner. And the prison is from the future. Future Twilight is the Warden. The unreadable language is one that hasn't been invented yet. The door with the melted crystal is the equivalent of locking the door, and throwing away the key.

Now to keep reading, and see if I am right.

Twilight turned around and headed toward the exit. As she walked passed the crate Daring Do was perched on, the pegasus set her apple core down on the crate, then hopped off and walked beside her. Twilight gave the pegasus a warm smile. "Rainbow Dash is probably jealous that I'm out here, off on an adventure with you," she commented.
