Dont take luna! TAke the solar feind instead
Great chapter, as always. Can't help but want Starstep to become a knight too, even though I know it won't happen.
Kinda wondering if Star will become a Knight now, it would suit him at the least.

He's a Prince
Fricking AWESOME chapter :)
3869883 But he doesn't have awesome armour like Lighthoof, now...
Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ! Another chapter already? Bro, you make my heart feel ravaged. In a good way of course.
Ahhh pre-determent deaths, how i despise thee.
3870035
Come on, really? After all this you really think I'm gonna use that card?
I shall be throwing out all reason, logic and common sense and will now declare Igor to be the most awesome, badass, Mary Sue and utterly overpowered character to exist in this story.
His tales shall enspire every coming generation, his feats legendary and his story´s the best sellers until time itself ends.
We just don´t know it yet!
*maniacall laughter of your choice*
I am on to you Indigo Eclipse! ^.^
I think Nightmare is using Star as a personal test more or less. See how well he can hold up under pressure and trying to find out what kind of pony he realy is when things break down.
I can also imagine Lighthoof now going like this most of the time: "Don´t mess this up, don´t mess this up! HOW COULD YOU MESS THIS UP?"
Realy enjoyed the small view into internal griffon power play. I don´t think politics would be the right term in this case
I quiver at the thought that this might end up with Nicemare Moon.
Dude... I would have jumped on that offer like a fat kid in a candy shop.
3870154
It just might. But it really depends on Star at this point.
3870146
Igor is... he's a disgusting creature even by Griffon standards.
As for the power-plays. Yeah, as prior chapters have shown, they are all about one-upping and winning without resorting to brute-force. It's a honor system of sorts. Getting your opposite to back down without violence scores you more points than beating his beak in.
Lighthoof oh Lighthoof thine fate has been sealed.
In gold and in onyx thou hath been fulfilled.
With thine shining armor thou shalt protect.
From thine silvery blade dead fiends shalt erect.
Lighthoof oh Lighhoof thine fate has been sealed.
In gold and in onyx thou hath been fulfilled.
Jeez I LOVE this direction. An ancient order reemerging from the depths of time and an ancient and dark shadow now covers over our main character.
What will come from the possibilities?
Well to be quite frank I have a couple of ideas.
I believe Light will be tricked and or tempted into abusing his new authority and I am almost certain that Nightmare is gonna rape Star.
I cannot wait for more of this. Also I feel very uncertain about Alexander. I get the same vibe as from Steelhoof. I don't know what he is thinking or what he wants. He is a wild card just as Luna is. I just hope he doesn't have dark reasons for being polite and cooperative.
3870170
You mean Light's offer?
It's a lot of pressure to take that role. It's not like being part of the guard with a chain of command, you're essentially on your own with all the responsibilities for your actions placed directly on your shoulders.
Light wants to protect ponies so they never have to live the life he did. He wants better for the innocent and he's not a glory-hog. Remember after they saved the ponies in the slave mines? The Night-guard didn't stick around for the thank-you party and didn't give interviews. He doesn't want rewards, he wants results.
3870176
Alexander acts the way he does because of griffon culture. A long history of bickering and power-struggles makes one reluctant to be open and friendly.
And don't forget about Dawn being in Light's head. NM is having fun sharing fears and dreams, but what is Dawn's power, eh? We've had a glimpse of it, though you may not have noticed yet.
Dear god, bro...
the way you portray the Sisters is beautiful. Poetic, even. Light and shadow, night and day, warmth and coolness.
Grrraaaaagh!!! I fucking love historical headcanon! The whole Knight Protector thing is one of those near-mythical things about history, one of the few times you really wish history was like it is in the stories. The feudal look you have on their society is just...
Argh! Fucking love it, man!
Also, Nightmare needs to shaddap, like... really. Please have Star bitch slap her in a dream. I'll even provide the baby powder. I know she's some higher being, demi-god or whatever, but Star isn;t the type to just sit there. Please have him keep his pimp hand strong. Please?
I am waiting for this series' end for a full-on review and critique, but I must say, this has to be my second favorite chapter so far. XD
Also, I am rather curious, did Lighthoof have to face certain trials, possibly of mind, body, spirit, soul, etc, in order become a Knight?
3870200
Next chapter...
3870199
It was Dawn who mentioned the ripples in the water.
Also I mean that Alexander has an air of mystery. It might be that he is older and wiser than his kinsmen, but I don't know. He seems too cooperative in comparison to his kin. I believe he will make a move to unite them under his banner.
3870202
In some respects, he already has. His loyal support for Star when they thought they were losing their jobs. The impromptu rescue in the slave-mines. His reluctance to accept any reward for his duty. Protecting Dinky. Over and over through his actions, he's proven what kind of pony he is. Sure, he's not perfect, and still hasn't worked out what he's going to do about Celesta/Sherry/Peach Blossom, but he really does give it his all.
As for under the surface of the reflection, he was judged and found worthy... or he would never had been able to resurface.
3870216
There were no ripples...
Nightmare called him a liar.
*walks away whistling*
A just reward for a just pony. Ironic that those best suited for a prestigous position are also most reluctant to take it. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
3870229
Ahh you cheeky bastard
Then I believe she can feel intentions and or life energy. Since she haven't earlier shown the ability to see the future.
It could also be something like electromagnetic sensing, though I see that as far fetched.
Yes. I called something far fetched in the context of flying ponies with butt-tattoos...
Also thanks for the cameo^^
3870242
Not a possession, more of a... ride along.
Life as a ghost sucks. You can't feel or anything. At least in Star's body, she can kinda experience the feelings of life again.
3870242
Swordette?
3870174
It's just that... what makes a monster a monster?
When Nightmare asked if a monster can be loved... I would have said yes...
Perhaps she would have laughed me off... but... there's something about her that makes me want to redeem her... perhaps her past? Perhaps the fact that she's as lonely as Luna, even more so?
Though at this point in time, Nightmare is a complete unknown. So is Dawn.
Now, do you have any plans for canon events? Like Princess Twilight or the Tree of Harmony? I know this is rather MUCH later than normal canon but hey, timelines can be stretched...
GAHH! DAMN IT INDIGO! That ending just hit me in the feels... great chapter. Still I'm sort of hoping that Eventually Star accidentally replies to one of Nightmare's comments and Luna start questioning him what's wrong.
3870210
YOU AND YOUR FUCKING TEASING!!!
Also, for Lighthoof:
derpicdn.net/img/2013/5/15/325703/large.png
Prince Blueblood
3870271
I killed him and dumped him in the river.
Seriously though, I suppose I should clarify in saying, a Prince from marriage to the Royals. Honestly, I think his title, like Cadance being a niece, is just that, an honorary title.
3870289 "New Prince" or "New royal blood" perhaps?
3870263
What makes a monster, a monster? THIS my friend, is the underlying question during this arc.
3870174
Igor:
Logical, and intriguing. But even so he seems to be worth keeping around and being a disgusting person doesn´t make you a bad character ;)
As for the current discussion for the Knighting scene:
What about Dawn?
After all she entered with Lighthoof. Has she been ignored in this case, or has she been found worthy as well?
3870221 Must. You. Make. Me. CURIOUS! XD
Star has been there every step of the way, he has to be, this story is focused on him and his quest to plunder him some hearty moon booty, his mission to drink from the nectar of the gods, his duty to explore hallowed grounds and plant a flag in said plot of hallowed ground...sorry, I appear to have gone off topic. Anyway, Star' is funny, mature, not Gary Stu but still capable, a character more organic than a car buried in cement, he's been built from the ground up and it shows. Character progression for Lighthoof has been just as arduous and I really love that about this story. He's a Flawed Lawful Good type of stallion and that's good. I also love how he's slowly having his way of life crumble away from beneath him, all because of the affections of Celestia and his loyalty to Star'. He may be a Knight, but he still appears to have taken his time to come out of that reflection, so I'm gussing his sense of self-doubt and those worries that he's a 'bad-pony' gathered from his meeting with Nightmare Moon still had to be addressed. On the subject of everyone's favorite piece of dark chocolate moon pie, VERY interesting plot twist, I am really curious as to how betrayed Luna is going to feel when he tells her that the reason she was banished for a thousand years has been privy to all of their private conversations as well as 'other' private matters. I don't know if Star' is going to appreciate commentary on his 'performance' but I sure as hell am cracking up over the prospect. Again, sorry for going off topic.
Ah, love triangles, such an awesome thing while they last, key phrase though, 'while they last', afterwards you feel like the worlds biggest douche. Let's see what we have here. Honest, hard-working mare, another one and a Princess...so basically, three honest hard-working mares with a bit of an age, workplace and personality difference. Honestly, I think he should just ask Star' to tell them and go vacationing on the moon for a few weeks until the fallout from such a revelation passes. Sure, date a goddess, that won't make the two 'regular', 'mediocre' mares feel as such at ALL, good move there mate, just remember to tie the noose before asking for a three some and have the stool ready to kick, because you'd want to be dead before they get their hooves on you.
Actually, you know what, I'm tired and I don't know what I'm talking about. Disregard everything you've just read and take this away from it. I love this story and I've broken down as many details as possible because I want the smug self-satisfaction of having guessed the next plot twist and getting it wrong. It's been way too long since a story has had any sense of originality and I miss being surprised by stories. When you finish this I'll have to get it printed. Keep up the good work mate, DON'T RUSH CHAPTERS NO MATTER HOW I BEG (Have to say it now before I crack and start spamming you're messages with 'hurry the hell up notes'.), retain the current quality or surpass it to god-like qualities, either way is fine.
Most importantly, stay classy.

For all intents and purposes, Dawn is innocent.
Until they?
3870200 the pimp hand is strong with this one.
Couldn't have said anything better about this chapter myself!
Great job, eagerly awaiting your next chapter.
3870249
Yeah, but I can see how this will lead to some pretty awkward moments in the future. Specifically any future mature chapters.
3870489
Since her only sexual experience is abuse at the hooves of others, yeah... her view of a healthy relationship is a bit skewed. Perhaps it's good for her that Star is so devoted to Luna and loving her. But yeah, gonna be at least a little awkward.
I was just clarifying that NM is not attempting to 'control/possess' Star. She already tried that (Twice if you read the comics).
insert "to [BLANK] the [BLANK]" title here with obligatory mary sue OC x Canon romance.
Seen it before. Yawn.
3870646
And how many chapters did you read before coming to that insightful conclusion?
If you're going to label a work of fiction in such a way, give reasons for your argument. Perhaps you don't understand what a Mary Sue really is.
Lighthoof was called a liar by Nightmare. Methinks that Lighthoof is a little more aware of Dawn than we were led to believe.
3870731
Not the next chapter, but the one after (55) we'll get some answers about Dawn. 54 is Featherweight/Scootaloo and Luna.
3870646 I feel a bit of pity for someone who can come to a conclusion so quickly, and arriving 53 chapters in one would assume you've missed a fair amount of the story.
Also considering there is only a limited amount of originality of core ideas story writers can express you must have seen it ALL before, which must mean you no longer enjoy almost any of the featured fictions on this site.
3870512 Love what you are doing with NMM, I do hope in time she let's Star tell Luna. Who knows (you do obviously), maybe NMM might get reformed.
3870818
NMM's 'end-point' in the story was already decided near the beginning. Even though most of this story is, more or less, written on-the-fly as an organic method, there were a few key-points that I knew were going to happen. It was just a matter of how to get to them and knowing when to use them.
I'm glad you're enjoying her inclusion and hope you'll be pleased with her fate.
3870646 Then go and read something you like instead of wasting the author's time with this comment.
3870850
Your avatar, just too cute.
3870512
I figure after some initial awkwardness she'll actually be more up for sex than Star. She's been deprived of almost all feeling for a very long time so regular consensual sex will probably blow her mind. I'd be more worried about her turning into an addict now that she's had so much time away from her initial "experiences."
Though I suppose that depends on how clear her memories remain.
