The First Night (Edited)
Watching the raven suddenly appear and take Sunset on its claws had made the girls jump in slight fright. Although considering everything that Sunset had gone through in the Asylum, this was nothing. At the very least, they would probably be immune to all scary movies for the rest of their lives.
The six finally breathed easily once the image on the statue began to clear away and in its place there was once again a clean surface; no mirror, no portal at the end. It was a weird sensation for Twilight. After all the portal was her only route to where she could go back home, to her own friends and family, her own obligations and where the crown was more relevant than a simple teenage dance and high school popularity.
It felt weird. She knew very well that the portal was not working anymore but still felt surreal to touch the stone surface of the statue base. She knew she should feel sadness, even some depression, but right now she was barely winding down from the rollercoaster that was Sunset’s first step into the world she had all but helped throw her in.
Twilight knew that no matter what she would have the image of Sunset lying under the hammer, her body torn apart and her blood splattering everywhere imbedded on her mind. She would probably dream with it tonight, if she ever went to sleep.
“Oh no, Twilight, the portal is not…” Fluttershy couldn’t finish the sentence as she put her hands over her mouth, then the rest of the girls also saw the smooth concrete base be as unyielding as every day and they all understood.
“But it’s not possible. The moon is still up. Shouldn’t it be open until next morning or something like that? You told us it works with moon cycles.”
“That’s true Rarity; it should be open. But it seems that whatever happened with the Elements of Harmony and its power just… closed the portal, or maybe it changed its properties so we would be able to see what happened with Sunset. I’m not sure, and frankly I feel too tired tonight to get to a conclusion,” the princess told her friends as they all turned and began to look each other, silently asking who will take care of the pony turned human.
As one they all put their attention on Applejack. She silently sighed knowing well why she was the perfect candidate. She was the only one that had enough space in her house and there were no crazy antics, no younger siblings that created shenanigans (Apple Bloom by herself was way more tame than Sweetie Belle would ever be) and it was in a nice enough area. Also she was the only one with her own transport; but before she could open her mouth to offer some assistance the sound of something burning caught their attention.
Turning around to the statue something began to appear on its side, almost as if the letters were being burned on it. The girls put their attention to it and saw a message slowly being burned into the stone.
The mirror will open.
Once the ruler finds her crown.
Let those guilty see their actions.
The stage for Faith is upon us.
-----
There wasn’t much talk inside the pickup truck as Twilight watched the world go by through the window. For his part Spike continued to slumber, this time on Twilight’s lap. That he had been asleep for the duration of Sunset’s disappearance was a testament to how tired the little doggie was and Spike’s propensity to deep slumber.
The princess felt a little bad that she had all but forgotten about Spike in the aftermath of the mirror message. It had taken Fluttershy, always the animal lover, to remind her of her small assistant.
Absentmindedly petting him as he kept sleeping helped Twilight calm down, but she still felt her brain working a mile an hour, or as fast as it could considering how exhausted she felt at the moment.
Applejack noticed that. She too felt tired, but being raised among farmers and her constant visits to other members of the Apple clan’s farms made the blond girl a tough cookie when it came to late nights and tiring labor.
“Still thinking about that weird thingy in the statue?”
“I… I don’t know what to make of it. It’s so fascinating but leaves more doubts than answers for me. Who wrote that? What happened with the portal? Am I… am I ever going to go back home?” That last question was the one that was in the head of the group and Applejack knew that it was something she didn’t have an answer for. She tried to think what she would do in her place and found herself with a sadness so deep that it scared her. She knew that she was nothing without her family. After all, it was what made her… well herself.
“Don’t worry Twi, we’ll find a way to get ya back home.”
“Thank you Applejack… but truthfully, I’m more worried about Sunset.”
“Yeah… can’t believe Ah would say this about that gal, but Ah sure hope she finds a way back home… Tell me something Twi, is the world Sunset is in anything like your own world?”
“Oh no, we may have some dark magic and dangerous monsters but those are few and between. I don’t think there’s anything as dark and dangerous in Equestria. Not even Discord could do something like that. Even when he tried to take over, he went for the wacky and insane instead of death and destruction.”
“Nice to know. So… think we will find more about Sunset? Ah mean, the portal is not working so how are we supposed to check on her?”
“You know what? I have a feeling that whoever is behind all this, be it the elements or someone else, will let us know very soon… I just hope Sunset is fine wherever she is.” It was quite the day if Applejack agreed to it when talking about Sunset. The usual bully may not have been a constant thorn on her side, but she was someone that knew how to make Applejack’s blood boil. Then all this happened, and now she found herself waiting for the return of Sunset, or at least to see her well.
‘You hear that Sunset?’ The blonde girl said on her mind while driving. ‘You better come back in one piece. Don’t you dare be beaten by that stupid world.’

Dark souls... The great game that teaches you useful things with the very second black knight you meet(one on the toop of tower) and then confirms it with Capra Demon:
1) You can deal huge damage, you can dodge atacks in you light armor... And the mere moment you have to fight in confined space your agility and heavy damage is useless. Thats because you will get hit in such situation. Second after that you will be on the ground. Two seconds after bonfire will greet you. And you need just one mistake to lose all the progress. So throw of this rugs - go get some normal armor. The heavier the better.
2) There is no such thing as enough Estus. Go learn some healing miracles! This art also provides you with atack spells of two damage types, lightning and magic, while sorcery and pyromance gives you only magic and fire respectively. Better have adaptability.
3) When you stand in block you need good shield, damage reducing and stable one. Go get something heavy, do not make parry guesses, they do not work on bosses.
4) So, you can survive. But you still need to hit. And hit heavily. So go get yourself some hammer - at first onehanded and enchanted for Divine, then something like that big axe from Gaping Dragon tail, and finally the heaviest and strongest - Grant itself. Dont use puny knives - make our enemy "Granted" by putting heavy hammer to the head. Oh, you will need hight strength, but it's the same that you need for best shield, so it is not a problem. Also Grant requires medium faith that you will already have if you have not forgotten to learn miracles. Just imagine what your strike will do at 50-50 - only bosses and Stone Guardians from Royal Woods survive that. And there are only 10 stone guardians and they all are confined to one location.
5) Havel the Rock was a very wise man. And he is at relative start of the game specially to show you how it should be done. And to demonstrate the most efficient armor while providing you the ring that enables wearing it without investing to high in endurance - you will need your levels for strength and faith.
Don't worry, be a Paladin, hammer up your way... and Praise the Sun!
If you're looking for an editor, I'll be happy to help. Just PM me the new chapters, and the ones you already have published for editing too, and then I'll PM them back to you as fast as I can.
Haven't read it yet, but I'm a huge Dark Souls fan having played through the whole first game several times and am now working on the second, so I'm definitely interested. Also, I'm offering my services as an Editor, but in the interest of full disclosure, I'm not a part of any "editing groups" as such, and prefer to maintain my independence. I have edited/proofread for others on a different fanfiction site in the past, including someone who's first language wasn't English, so I have an idea of what to look for and how to clean up jumbled narrative. On the other hand, I have no idea how Google Docs works, preferring my tried and true Microsoft Word.
If you're interested PM me and we can see about working something out.
A figure in white? Priscilla? Please, say it is Priscilla. Sunset would get her own dragonic companion!
But it could also be, ugh, Princess Celestia... Or some other white maiden/goddess
I'm a tad worried that due to the title that she's gonna listen to Kaathe and fall to Darkness and Cruelty. And before ANY Darkwraiths jump at me for daring to speak out against the Almighty Dark allow to explain what the Dark has brought. War, Death, Chaos, and most importantly evil. It brought EVIL into the world. Humans have the Dark Soul yes but the most you could do with that soul is to try and help the world either survive or at least go out with dignity rather then succumbing to monsters and psychopaths.
Nameless king sunset your logic is invalid
7373247
She could turn into the new Sun and continue the Age of Fire.
She could listen to the other serpent and become the Dark Lord.
But, what if she followed another route? One that is oh so perfect for her. And that route is the reason why this story exist.
7373267
That was because that's the only Sunset Shimmer/Dark Souls image I could find, the Nameless King is mentioned but has nothing to do with it. If anyone can give me or find a better imagine I will be grateful.
Wow there really is a lack of sunset dark souls pictures it's unrelated but I did find a picture of solaire and celestia bro fisting that made me happy
I'm liking the story, but I hope that Sunset's time in the dark souls world isn't just a copy/past of the Dark Souls storyline.
7373504
Oh, you have no idea how many things will change, that's precisely the reaosn why I decided to work on this dimension.
7372653
1) Unless you learn how to parry, which is a great thing to learn, but I do undertand the idea about the heavier the armor for the poise that they bring. Thankfully Sunset is not on the video game per se and she will be allowed to dodge, jump and even roll underneath the enemies. Also, you never have to fight Berenike Knights in tight corridors.
2) Oh yes, you can never have enough heals, learning faith to level 12 at least is a life saver, but is probable that Sunset will go for Intelligence.
3)That's the reason I gave Sunset the Crest Shield, even though she will come back for the Rusted Iron Ring later on.
4) I'm not sure what kind of weapon Sunset will specialize in. In the games if you have enough stats to use them you suddenly become a master at it, but here they will need to know how to use a weapon effectively and with the axes being pretty much 'I'll swing this thing and hopefully I can kill something' type of weapon it is a nice one for Sunset for now, who knows what will happen later on, maybe I could give her the Demon Axe or she could even start using the Rapier... nah.
5) I see no way for Sunset to use the Havel Set, let's see later on.
7372883
Priscilla is going to appear and she will have a prominent role as if the cut content was being integrated again, just not in the way you might expect. Also, no Celestia.
7374745
Heal is a must in Dark Souls but I don't know what will be her stats, items and spells long term.
7376516
Well, i tried to learn how to parry properly. But then i got my first heavy shield and was very happy to forget such skill that got me killed more often that it helped.
Axes are good. Especially that big one from Gaping Dragon's tail. It's damage does not improve with stats, so long game it is worse than Grant. But i still remember how i was running around the second Asylum Demon, hitting floor with heavy strikes of it until monster died from shockwaves...
that had enough space on her house
but those few and between
1. In.
2. But those are few and far inbetween.
Hmm... so the outcome here, is that Sunset will end up ruling the Dark Souls world? That is a fate that I wonder... is it awesome or horrifying?
nice job!
Sorry Twilight dear.
Your going to b be here for a looooooooooong. Time
What class is sunset? I thought she'd be a pyromancer. Or maybe soccer
8519798
I’ve never played Dark souls before but now I’m very much tempted to play it. Comment on my user page and tell me what class is the best.
8678321
In dark souls 1 magic in general is overpowered... if you play as a sorcerer you will one shot many bosses (if you play it right) so depending if you want a challenge or not that is something to take in mind... pyromancy class is usually the best starting class in my opinion since pyromancy is also very powerful but not op, also that class can be formed into whatever build you end up liking with it being capable of equipping most gear/ using any type of magic. Once you get a hang of how the game works you could take up a class that better suits your style of playstyle if your pyro ends up too mutch a jack of all trades... but that’s my opinion I personally ran a faith/ dex build since I kind of liked some of the lower faith spells (the focus was on dex so no high lv faith spells)
Let those guilty see their actions? Are you trying to imply that Twilight and the girls were in the wrong to use the Elements of Harmony on Sunset? Cause they activated them as she tried to kill them if you remember. Yeah she was corrupted and probably not in control but the Elements purified Luna under Twilight. She's not guilty of anything but defending herself and trying to stop Sunset's demonic rampage.
8682901
Isn't Dark Souls 1 the one where you have a set number of times you can cast spells rather than a mana bar?
8678321
Magic isn't as overpowered as many make it out to be, as there are some bosses that HARD counter it, plus you need to be semi-decent skill wise, as you'll tend to have lower physical stats than peole in full Havels Armour.
The 'classes' only give you your starting stats and equipment - as you can level up any way you like you can start as a Sorcerer and end up with a Zweihander in each hand, or start as a thief and end up throwing fire.
I'd advise getting Dark Souls Remastered when it comes out in a month
Now I just imagine a group of students sitting down infront of the statue after school taking bets on sunsets escapades and cheering her on
Not a fan of dark/demon souls series...course i really sucked at it lol. But i do find some lore around series interesting. I kind of want see nioh or bloodborne version of this, with sunset of course. Best bacon haired pony lol
I have to say, i think this is the most interesting take I've seen on Sunset being transported into any of the Dark Souls games. Very interesting indeed. This has potential. Actually looking forward to reading the rest of it.
