A good chapter I say.
Please continue.
827447 Read "Luna's Story: Rise of the Lunar Stallions". That's where I get my name from.
Spartan Shield... getting advice from Fluttershy. Oh dear Celestia, you might have just doomed him into becoming a born-again hippie...
He won't get far with that volume.
sooo many cliff hangers
WORST-POSSIBLE-THING-EVER
This can't end well.
ALSO. TF2 SERVERS. WHY ARE YOU FAILING HORRIBLY!? *slams face into ground*
Meh. At least I have time to read fanfics now. Awesome ones, LIKE THIS ONE!
Why do I think Sheild's job is to tend to cuddly-wuddly animals?
You had a new chapter up the minute I needed to go to bed...I'm feeling a weird combination of and
Awesome new chapter, I can't wait for him to learn about Nightmare Moon's defeat.
...
and I'm still Spartacus!
827538 On server right now. I just exited out to tell out that.
Oh my Loooord. Spartan Shield, Aegis Shield, how in the world did I not make that connection?
Maybe Spartan will feel better about Luna once he finds out how his distant descendant conquered her, if you know what I mean!
I'm a little disappointed that we aren't getting any more backstory at the top of each chapter. For some reason I was expecting that story to continue and we would find out about the excavation that dug Spartan up.
827595 SHHHHH!
Fluttershy is best druid.
Oh god,
Lolwat!?
827466
are you talking to me?
>.>
<.<
are YOU talking to Me!?
uhm... hi???
This chapter was interesting to say the least.
Now... how will Fluttershy react to being an oracle?
If I may, I would like to make a request.
Would it be possible to have more "information" about Spartan Shield?
I would like to know more about this cruel twist of fate that this chapter introduced.
I knew immediately who we was talking about.
Oh, dis is gon be gud. Also, Aegis Shield possibly related to Spartan Shield? Honestly, I didn't see it coming. Ponies don't usually take up 'family' names like we do. It could just be a coincidence.
827652 Mr. and Mrs. Cake had Poundcake sooo-- I figured it would be okay. Plus, the similiar names were just TOO good to pass up.
Oh God, I want more. You are the master of cliffhangers.
827503 Hehe, whoops! Awesome chapter by the way. I`ve loved your story so far, please continue!
>I just kind of wanted a study buddy.
i think thats nerd for studly buddy.
I can't wait to see how the forwardness of Spartan interacts with the meekness of Fluttershy.
Wonderful chapter as always
Ciao dear

Love this story!
about spartan and aegis, i noticed but thought it was coincidence
about twilight SHIPPING DETECTED FIRE LASER OF APPROVAL
about luna when she uses "we" and "us" when refering to herself, i cant help but think she schizo
>Spartan Shield
>Aegis Shield
Celestia’s poor planning had done all this. Twilight was right, he did not know any better. Showing him his worst enemy after what he perceived of two week’s peace? Cruel! Unthinkable! Serving tray! To the face!
I do believe I found this rather unreasonably funny. Well done.
Spartan Shield and Aegis Shield.
Computing.
Uh.
Wait, uh.
Does not compute.
BLAST 'EM!..er...
OH. I get it now.
(If anyone gets that, I love you)
827980 SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE~!
827879 Yeah, I think the last person to use the royal "we" was a Pope, haha. (since the Royal We in human terms means "God and I")
Well, I'm actually a little surprised at his choice of 'oracle, though I supposed I should not have been. I'd thought, since the 'oracles' were supposed to be high on drugs or some such when they predicted the future that he'd go either to Berry Punch (shame on me *shrugs* ) who has the rep of being a drunk, or he'd seek out Zecora because of her herbal and potion knowledge. In short, this will end goofily.
827503
Any relation? Great grandfather or distant cousin, perhaps?
Well, this is the second time that Spartan's woken up in a detention cell. If this happens one more time in the coming week, I'm going to call it a habit for the warrior, and leave it at that.
I still find it interesting that Luna is a devotee of the Neighponese chanoyu. I wonder if it's something that she picked up after her return as part of a personal meditation technique, or if it was something that she held over from her time before the Nightmare? Judging from what I've seen of her, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is a long-term habit that she abandoned before the Nightmare, and that she picked up again on her return. I'm guessing that if Celestia had been paying attention back then, one of the first signs of Luna's descent into Nightmare was her abandonment of the meditations that go with being Teishu. That was a very significant offering that Luna presented to Spartan, it's a pity that the significance of the ritual was completely lost on the warrior, right down to having Aegis Shield as her hantou, presenting him as a visible sign that there was the chance for peace between the two feuding parties as well as proving that Spartan was not completely alone in this new world. The old wounds are still too fresh for Spartan, though I think that he took another tiny little step forward when he had to stop and consider a possible familial link to the Lunar Stallion. (And for the record, I see no particular problem with Aegis being of a smaller frame than his distant ancestor. Pegasii would have problems with any sort of aerial maneuvering if they were built on the frame of a Spartan Stallion, so if the Shield line has bred into the aerial lines in the intervening centuries, it makes sense.)
All things considered, I think that Luna really didn't expect any better results from that meeting than she received. Unlike Celestia, she's got the experience of Nightmare Moon in her recent history to let her remember just how hard it can be to let go of the past, especially when it's something that is not too far distant in personal timespan. Actually, I think that her friendship with Twilight helped in terms of choosing a punishment for Spartan a great deal. She did him a favor, and gave good advice as well. Granted, Spartan's not really in any mood to consider advice, though I would imagine that at some point he will be curious enough to ask Twilight why the Lunar Princess said to ask her about the fate of Nightmare Moon. That will be an interesting conversation, whenever it occurs. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Twilight_future.png
Moving along, it's nice to see that Spartan's had time to think and realize that Twilight taking him down in the dining room was a good thing and counted as her watching his back. I like that he offered to cheer her up a bit, when she seemed to be depressed about failing as his trainer in modern customs and history. That's a good sign, though as she noted, he's still got a long way to go.
So, community service.... I hope that Twilight made sure that he knows exactly that that term entails, or there will be some laughable incidents in his future. And for him to seek guidance from the only "druid" he knows of... *sigh* Fluttershy is about to have a long couple of days, isn't she? Looking forward to the mischief and mayhem dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/discord.png dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Derpy_Hooves_lolface.png
827503 Nothin' wrong with a little self-insert cameo now and then. Sibsy did it, so self-insert cameos are canon now. :)
amazing noww what will fluttershy do??
827538
Of course they fail. Pyro update broke 'em. :D
And caught up.
somebody is going to get hurt really soon i just know it.
...Something about this fic's Luna makes me want to punch her in the face. With spiked gauntlets... Her peronality just comes across as irritating and stuck-up.
828108
Yes, but that's another point where Twilight fell down on the job. She did a little bit of introduction around town, mostly her circle of friends, and then mostly left it to Spartan to make any further introductions himself. Zecora hasn't been into town in the last two weeks, so no encounters, and Twilight hasn't gotten around to mentioning her yet in their talks. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/sillyfilly_Twilight_Sparkle.png

*blink*blink* Really? I didn't see that in any of the scenes where we've seen Luna in this story. The closest I could see where that might apply is in the scene in the dining room last chapter, and I think that she can be forgiven there since she was reacting to having just had her nose broken by an unprovoked attack as she came into what was supposed to be a semi-casual dining encounter with her sister and her friend Twilight Sparkle. If you're talking about her actions in this chapter, she's following a very specific set of actions dictated by the rules of tea. Search out chanoyu on the web, there are several very good reference sites for the way of tea, and you'll see what Luna was trying to accomplish here. As I commented earlier, though, she's moving through a ritual that Spartan Shield likely has no reference to at all, so most of the nuances were lost on him. (And if the reader isn't aware of the source that I think Aegis is drawing from this time for Luna's actions, I could see where you might get an impression of a rather cold and calculating individual.)
"G-grandson?" Spartan Stallion.
"G-grandpa?" Aegis Shield.
SHIELD-SLAM! <in da face>
"That's for failing to protect thou Princess in combat! Thou ancestors would be ashamed! I know I'm one!"
"B-But grandpa..."
"No whining! Colt!"
<whisper> "Family reunions suck."
828968
This is the best possible comment.
"Grandpa you... You hoofed me in the-"
"Yes, yes, 'twas in the heat of combat"
"But... How shall I continue our family line now?"
"I guess it's all up to me then... TWILIGHT SPARKLE, PUT ON THY SILKY SOCKS!"
"...I don't know whether or not this makes me happy or terrified..."
I await, patiently, for your next update.
So... Spartan Shield and Aegis Shield are related? I DEMAND CHARACTER BIOS NAO!!!!!
Hmm... well, if the shipping continues on its way, Twilight would legally become Aegis Shield's (insert appropriate amount of great's here) grandmother....
And this should be fun to see how the might Spartan handles the Rabbit of Caerbannog.
828319 It isn't technically a self insert since he didn't originally call himself "Aegis Shield" he changed his user AFTER he made the character and the character had been around for a long time before he changed.

I'm not surprised about his choice for a source of wisdom. Remember, he saw Fluttershy guiding ducks back in chapter 5 and was convinced that she has a special connection to nature. To him, that meant she was a druid; who in his time were mystics, oracles and wise-ponies and thus the most comfortable source of guidance for him in Ponyville.
I am curious as to what he dug up with that shovel though....
827503
OH SHIT NOT FLUTTERSHY!
829572 It's druid now.
