This story is truly captivating. Every chapter leaves me wanting more and more.
Do keep up the superb job, you magnificent bastard.
132194 Nope. No wings. She will not become an alicorn.
132176 Thank ye. I'mma try and get another out tomorrow morning. No promises, but I'll try.
I think this is the first chapter where I wasn't sent in a downward spiral of madness wondering and speculating about what happens next . Don't get me wrong I have questions but I'm confident they're going to be answered in the following chapters.
This was a nice chapter, a calm in the storm of questions and revelations that your story chapters normally are Peppy. Glad to see I was right about a few things regarding Twilight and this chapter too. Also having Twilight still going through changes is a very nice touch, it leaves plenty of room to be creative in the next chapters. For example, Twilight having an increase in appetite.
Also having Twilight relive Nightmare Moon's memories as part of her dreams is a little reminiscent of the memory orbs from Fallout: Equestria since they also take place in first person, and the person experiencing the memories also feels whatever the person felt physically at the time. These memories also gives you a chance to get in some back story for Nightmare Moon without having Nightmare waste a chapter talking about her past. Plus you can stop Twilight going through nightmares every night (I think she needs a break from those no?)
Great chapter, I loved that Nightmare Moon would allow Twilight to take a little peek into her backstory. I love how you portray Twilight as strong and tough unicorn, who would fight through pain just because NMM asked. After she makes her complete recovery- she's will be one of strongest there is, mentally and probably in magic.
I'm still sitting on edge of my chair wondering what is rest of Mane 6's thoughts on her physical changes as well her actions of late, teleporting (throwing her body to block the swing of sword)- ultimately saving Nightmare Moon's life. As well the griffin's death.
Also, I'm now curious of what will happen with Twilight's parents visit as well their conversation that would probably take place, NMM might would involved just my guess ha.
NMM is truly changing, with the evidence of her thoughts and bringing in her parents to visit after reading Twilight's letter :3.
Should...I make changes to my vector as there's more changes? I can see three changes, grew six inches taller, longer horn, (actually make that four changes- scar on her chest).
What does byzantium means, I looked it up and it says "an ancient Greek city on the Bosporus and the Sea of Marmara: Constantine I rebuilt it and renamed it Constantinople a.d. 330."
My mind is ready for chapter 23!

132205 You know, when I was writing this, I didn't think about the memory orbs of FoE, but, now that it's been mentioned, maybe I was subconsciously drawn to that. Dunno, FoE is an epic fanfic and if you haven't read it, (any of you) you should. It's THE BEST fanfic I've ever read. Better than Past Sins. But I'm getting off track there. Twilight solved the nightmare problem. She doesn't know it yet, you guys don't know how (as far as I'm aware of, anyways), but she solved it.
132218 Byzantium is also a [url=en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantium_(color)]shade of purple. Up to you whether or not you wanna change the vector, but try and make it not rape our computers At the moment, the Mane six have no way to see Twilight to know about the changes. Their one link to the inside of the castle is dead so the only news they'll get is the news that they're going to war once again. This isn't the last you'll see of them, but they really can't do much as of now but wait.
HER PARENTS! Oh nightmare moon! You are awesome
Please sir can I have some more?
132231 MOOOOAAAAAAR!?
132230 I know right? Such a sweetheart. Well, not really. Not yet, at least. But it was nice.
132238....yes please....if that's all right with you though....if not..... I can wait.....

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd there you go! I followed the exact "rgb" as well for color that you described in Twilight's change. It's nicer to have actul reference instead of saying "few shades from black" haha. *fanfare* Here is current Twilight! I decided upon on red eyes as it would match her mane, like NMM's demonic eye would be matching up to her mane.
i.imgur.com/GBuSd.png
THIS TIME it won't rape your computer or anyone else.
I gotcha that their link is dead, but I mean there's other way to see Twilight without actually meeting up in person (yet). I remember in show that they had some technology like photos, film reels or such.
132314wow....spooky to say the least
Hi Twilight.... *minutes later*
Hey wheres Blossom gone
TWLIGHT!!!
:132317 *bows gracefully*
132314 Yay no computer Rape
That is a fantastic vector, I thought her coat would be darker, but compared to the original colour of Twilight's coat it certainly is darker. And that Red Mane goes so well with that Coat. She's definitely what I'd think a Darker and more menacing Twilight would look like.
I think the cutie Mark should change more, it almost blends with her coat, perhaps make the centre Star Black, the Star hiding behind it Red and the surrounding Stars Midnight blue. Of course Twilight's exact changes to her Cutie Mark, if any will probably be revealed in the next chapter
132406 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantium_%28color%29 this is the color that he described in this chapter so I just went with it. I think the coat should be darker but it is author's story not ours. WHICH I LOVE!
132314 Lookin' good and my PC isn't having a heart attack! <3
Great chapter Peppy! But we need mooooaaaaarrrr! Keep it up!
I still love this story but I am angered with the lack of kamehamehas.
Ah the joys of waking up and finding an update. It makes things so much brighter throught the rest of the day. However as Tonto has pointed out it's now up to me to prattle on about every little thing because not only do I enjoy geeking out(super nerd extradinar Geekazoid! Geekaziod!) it also seems to help everyone else enjoy the chapter a bit more. Also it's good practess for me should I ever get the self confidence to try and write my scifi novel.
Wall-O-Text
So Twilight was able to view some of Nightmare's memories and was even able to see both a younger version of her and Celestia. This bares further study and wild mass guessery. While Twilight seems to think that Nightmare is simpaly allowing her to see these visions I'm not so sure. Granted it's the simpalest answer and probible the best one but you guys know me simpal answers arn't as much fun as tinfiol hatted conspercy theories! I'm thinking that while Nightmare probible has no objections to Twilight seeing these memories (otherwise they'd be locked down so tight freddy kruger couldn't get to them.) I'm wondering if the reason she saw them isn't part the side effects of the spell cast unpon her and part her powers acting upon her subconsess desires to both know her queen better and to be free from her night terrors.
Next up Twilight's going through some intresting changes. She grew six inches taller in one night. her horn is said to have gotten an unspicefied amount larger and her eyes have changed as well. She also seems to be in the middle of these changes as it seems to be implied that they arn't quite done yet. With further implacations that said changes might have been intentinaly invoked by Nightmare. Granted that's probibly just me readng too far into things but maybe just like Twilight she subconiesly wants twilight to be her lover and thus when an oppertunity presented itself her secrete desires acted out and made Twilight more pleasing to her eye?
While my guess as to why twilight is physicaly changing is most likely wrong. we still get to see Nightmare's feelings for Twilight develop more this chapter. Not only has she shown impeccible confidence in Twilight's ability to bounce back from something that would have even the indestructible Applejack flat on her back for a week. Considdering who this is coming from that's VERY high praise indeed (Is it just me or does "The Indestructible Applejack sound like a Marvle comic book?) she also went to the trouble of finding and bringing Twilight's parents to visit her. Though granted I don't know what's more of a shock to them Twilight's new look, her loyalty to Nightmare, or that nasty scar she got all of what Two maybe Three days ago?
Though really the real prize with all of this awsome is that Nightymare seems to be slowly realizing not only just how much twilight means to her but also that she IS becoming important to her. The Nightmare from chapter five wouldn't have taken her out of the infermiry and bought her to the royal bedchambers, much less brought her parents up to say high. Given that she didn't just leave her on the ground to rott that is. So yes not only do we get to see the imerging of nightmare via the dream we also get to see more of Nightmare's current feeling as she waits for Twilight to show up.
Back to the issue of Twilight's health though, I wonder just how much of a freak out the castle Doctor will have when and if he finds out about all this? Didn't he tell Nightmare no more then a day ago to be less reckless with twilight given her health. Granted thanks to what ever spell she cast starting to kick into high gear she seems to be recovering far faster then she should be that doesn't mean she's Wolvereen ya know. I wonder just how long Twilight would be out of commission with normal magical healing. From what I recall the doc was guessing that today she'd be just getting her sight back. then bring up his order about her staying bed ridden untill the pain was gone and I get the feeling he was expecting her to be bedbound for atleast a week and a half. Though I'm sure that there is one issue related to her health that both Nightmare and the Doc agree on. That issue is most likely Twilight being magicless for a week so that things can settle down.
Also Peppy gives us a very intresting teaser about Moon Beam. While I don't want to say that she's naught but a heavily suped up doll brought to life by magic. Because that's damn mean and Moon Beam is far too awsome and cute to be the pony version of both Pinoccio and Megaman (Mega for her adaptibility in combat.) but I wouldn't rule out the possiblity entirely simpaly because of how good Peppy is at throwing curvballs and dropping bombshells. Also I wonder why Moon beam said she would rather be strong like Twilight as opposed to strong like Nightmare? Could Twilight be affecting how Moon Beam sees the world too?
Well I'm outta geekpower for now but as always "From wence I came I shall return!"

Oh and Morfonious, That vectore looks Totaly awsome. i don't know if you were going for it or not but Twilight is giving off some awsome evil mage vibes. It's got to be the combo of her new eyes and the grin she's wearing as she's looking in the direction of the viewer. To me she just seems to be saying, "yeah I'm awsome so don't cross me or I'll nuke you so hard your great grandparents ill feel it."
Oh this was a great chapter, but I have to say Peppy, these cliff hangers are killing me, can you giving a good closing chapter for once and then reopen one a little later or something? Or have one extra long so these don't seem so bad?
Looks like somepony has some serious explaining to do, especially dressed like that.
Though it might be harder to explain why she's a nmm look-a-like.
Who knows?
DAMN... I have been catching up on these tonight ! The story is still amazing... MORE XD
132691 Curse/Bless you Janus. I almost resisted the urge to do a Wall of text. Sigh, time to give in to my inner Demons and do another .
132452 Oh yeah and I agree with your colour choice dude, Byzantium was always darker I imagined, I did find two colours called Byzantium, one the darker tone I imagined and the other being the one you chose. Your colour choice actually fits better with the shows colour palette though so I applaud you good sir
So without further a do it's time for a Wall-O-Text
Ok First thing I'm curious about is Twilight's title, Consort. According to wikipedia a Queen's Consort is the wife of the king or in this case wife of the queen, if that's the case, then Nightmare Moon is more than fond or touched by Twilight's love and devotion . Better call Rarity, we're going to need a wedding Dress, and find the Queen a wedding planner, she wishes to be wed whilst Canterlot burns. Now that's some symbolic imagery right there. Twilight embracing Nightmare Moon and the night sky, shunning Celestia and the Sun, whilst simultaneously burning away any reminders of Celestia's power and kindness.
Of course Peppy might mean something else entirely by Consort
So the second thing I am wondering about is something off the TV show and whether it will be featured in this Story. For example will Rainbow Dash pull off another Sonic Rainboom or a Sonic Rain-nuke? I see these abilities as having practical uses in major battles, which would see Nightmare Moon or other factions trying to gain control of Rainbow Dash. I mean look at how powerful a sonic Rain-Nuke is...
i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/187/790/1318688769860.gif
Also it needs a different name, a Rain-Nuke sounds too modern for this version of Equestrian. Maybe a Rain-Bomb would be a better name? I can actually see Rainbow joining Nightmare Moon if Gilda were in her service at some point. (Dammit Gilda stop sneaking into my Walls-O-Text) I mean think about it, Gilda her lifelong friend is serving Queen Moon even though she's at war with her people and Twilight is more than friendly with Nightmare, plus she's been hanging around a group of friends she doesn't seem to have anything in common with, Fluttershy being the exception as they were both in the same Flight School. So yeah if Rainbow flies off to join the new Army and ends up as one of Nightmare's personal guards I can personally say I called it.
The Third thing that bothers me is what happened to Celestia's Phoenix Philomeena, did she simply escape and is now living free, waiting for Celestia to return? Or are Phoenix's able to survive on the sun and Philomeena is keeping her company. And will Twilight still somehow acquire Owloscious as a Pet/familiar.
Also how bad is the crime rate at the moment? and what would Nightmare Moon do with Criminals? Granted this is wartime so it would make sense to force them into militia's with lower quality weapons and armour and force them to act as a first wave, so Nightmare can hold back her main force in battle, i.e. the trained soldiers and battle mages. Or she could use them as a labour force to build her city, not worked to the bone like slaves but definitely made to do their fair share. If Blueblood can get a job as a worker after personally offending the Queen, then I don't see why someone who steals a loaf or two couldn't. The last thing Equestria needs is bandits thinking they can get away with their crimes under the cover of the night.
Fourth and finally I still wonder when Nightmare Moon will have her own Order of Assassin's. No Dark Empire is complete without a Master Assassin leading an entire order of devoted assassin's trained from birth to fight and kill for their mistress. And will we ever see Nightmare Moon using the weather against her enemies? Pegasi can manipulate weather, we all saw Dash on that thundercloud on Nightmare Night. Weaponizing the sky to fight against Griffins seems logical to me, besides if they don't then the Griffins will, they can stand on clouds after all.

133053 Well, consort can also mean companion. Doesn't have to specifically mean 'partner' in that sense. Nightmare's getting there though. Lots of thought into the story as usual! Rainbow using the Rainboom is not likely going to happen any time soon. She was only able to do it after some SERIOUS encouragement by her friends and the threat of Rarity falling to her death (along with the Wonderbolts). None of that happened, so she never had the factors working in her favor to promote her to perform said feat. Crime rate? Ask Fancy Pants. He deals with the minor stuff Owlowiscious went to Ponyville. However much I like the owl, his timeline doesn't fit in. Just like the Rainboom, none of the events that transpired to bring Twilight and him together happened.
132903 Star Sparkle: Twilight! What, in Equestria, are you wearing!?
Twilight: Oh, um... It's... My dress... for Queen Moon....
132759 Awwww it's not THAT bad. I could've left it off with you wondering who was there. Like I said in the author's notes! I'll try though. It's just difficult finding a spot to cut it off on.
132254 What can I say? It gives me a major wing-boner (I'm a unicorn fyi) to hand people by their toes over a possible plummet to their death.
132314 Looks AMAZING. Seriously. Why can I not hug you through my internet? I'm quite frustrated that it won't let me.
132691 The doctor will not be pleased. At all. He will give Nightmare a stern lecture, wag his... hoof? at her and tell her to stop being a bad guardian. Then be thoroughly smitten with lunar magic. But he'll get his point across. Everything else? We'll just hafta wait and see.
Tonto, I'm not sure how strong the Rainnuke is anyhow. Granted the thing looks awsome as all get out but really all that sound and fury and the only thing it smites is the rickity old barn that it was targeted at, no fires, no emp, no force from the shockwave just a centralized blast. Granted it can still be used for combat with a bit of thought but it's not the same thing as a good old fasioned metor spell or bomb.
Peppy, since you're porbibly just going to let him fade into the backround after the twilight recovers miniarc is over anyway, do you mind if I call him Dr. Cox? I'll admit it's because I'm a fan of Scrubs but really it's mostly because I could see either Cox, or House as having the balls to chew out Nightmare Moon for mistreatment of a pataint of thiers but well, Cox knows when to shup up and back off House doesn't seem to have that skill, and given this is Nightmare we're talking about House wouldn't last too long.
On the topic of using criminals as cannon fodder in the army. I'm ot sure if the Russians were the only ones to do it but, I recall hearing that they would use thier prisinors in that manner. Howecver the Russian army had a specail type of I think it was an officer who's job it was to shoot and kill any solders who tried to turn tail mid battle, or flee the ranks durring lulls in combat. I bring this up because if Nightmare's going to use the prisinors in that manner she'd need such a type of officer and I can't think of them as being in plentiful supply even in this darker Equestria.
133241
The Sonic Rainboom in the Cutie Mark Chronicles on the other hoof had a shockwave that could shatter stone. It could be used to knock griffons out in large numbers.
133241
I agree with Janus, Make this Doctor have some of Gregory Houses/Perry Cox's traits, or outright name the doctor after one of the Doc's. Nothing wrong with a cameo, even if it's only in name .
Also I see where you're coming from with the Rain-bomb (I'm calling it that, Rain Nuke is too modern dammit) Still it looks easier to pull of than the Rainboom but Rainbow Dash was a lot more confident at this point and pulled off her second Rainboom, plus she probably practiced the Rain-Bomb before and Twilight/Applejack did have to hide in a trench. Was it really just because of the debris? (which rained down on them anyways, cartoon physics ) or the bone shattering shockwave? Plus it made a mini Rainboom too and one of those shattered that rock that was a far bit away and cleared the skies for miles around. Though we don't know how far away Pinkie's family actually lives or where Rarity was when the Rainboom happened.
My original inspiration for including a forced criminal militia was The Men of the Nights Watch from Game of Thrones and a few strategy games I played where units are sometimes criminals that are slightly below average units but can be recruited under the right conditions and you can field them in bulk.
As for an officer to keep order in the ranks? well drawing inspiration from Warhammer 40,000 how about a Commisar type commander who inspires warriors to fight in battle and assists in keeping morale high in battle. Killing cowards who try to flee, I doubt they'd be needed in the main army, but for the rabble of criminal scum I can see them having uses.
This is true, said shockwave also managed to scare Twilight wittless, break the fourth wall around Pinkie pie, starle small animels near Flutteshy, and somehow not turn all the ponies closest to it into a fin candy colored mist.
Also I'm hoping to have the next Green Ink article up later tonight. I'm not making any promises though as this one is ment to imply that Green Ink was able to get an interview with Spike. I have a rough idea of what I want to do I'm not sure if it's in character for him. Thoguh if i can get this articvle through i intend to do one, maybe two more. After interviewing Spike Green intends to interview Twiligh and let her give her side of the story and leave the readers (ie the ponies of Equestria to deside what to think about her.) However I'm also thinking about having him right a final article that is prettymuch just his opinion on Twilight and Nightmare Moon though I'm not sure if I should do that one any suggestions?
Tonto, Sorry just now noticed this post thanks for the reply. Anyhow Commisar is the word I was looking for though maybe I've been missinformed who knows.
I'm not going to argue that the Rainboom isn't overpowered hell along with the effects I mentioned about it said rainboom also somehow inspired each of the mane six to have the epithiny they needed to get thier cuite marks. As for the Rainblast/bomb/nuke like I said before it's usefull it just doesn't seem to have the power of it's bigger brother, or the massive splash damage effect range. The name Rainnuke doesn't bug me because both Dash naming her pet Tank as in the armored assult vehicle and her speeding bullet quote. Granted the last was a shoutout to Superman but still that made it into the show so why not Rainnuke but meh I'll meet you half way and call it the rainblast from now on.
Possible names for the doomed doc, Dr. Coxix (A medical term I'm 100% sure I mangled the spelling on.) or Dr. Stable. Either way if he isn't carefull about how he words his complainght to Nightmare he'll end up with the name copris delectie (If my limited Latin is right that should be body of evidence.)
Also I wonder how many if any of the tinfiol hatted theories in my post might be relivent to some future plot(Yes, yes I know, I giggled too.) points. Like i mentioned before I'm not expecting them to be right but peppy Kicked my paranoid tendencies into gear by answering them without answering then. Though really that line of Moon beams is still standing out to me for some reason. "You're so strong, Auntie. When I grow up, I wanna be just like you and Mommy! Well, maybe not the Queen, but strong!" Both the theories, and possiblities are strong with this one.
133241 Go right ahead. I might name him that anyways considering I didn't have a name for the guy. And Moon Beam isn't fully aware of her ability. There are also things about Moon Beam that haven't been divulged (as I said way back when). And, while I did give that little story about the destruction of the doctor, he will not likely be killed seeing as he helped keep Twilight alive. Nightmare Moon knows the value of her subjects. Punishment? Maybe. But killed? Nah.
Whoo, Dr. Cox lives! Also peppy thanks for answering all the messeges I flooded you with this evening, that helped out a lot so here I go with another installment of Green Ink. Hopefully Spike's quotes will be in character.

Headline Family Ties and Final Straws
By Green Ink.
If you will recall in an previous installment of this little seiries of ours I brought up the fact that Twilight Sparkle's test to enter Celestia's School for gifted Unicorns was to hatch a dragon egg. Well dear readers it seems that there was more to it then that alone. Rest assured that it is here where we learn why Twilight was in Ponyvill, why she fell off the radar for monthes only to reimerge by Nightmare's side and more but first a bit more background befor with can press forword!
It turns out that after hatching the young dragon Twilight was charged with raising him, though given that her test invovled hatching him this does seem to fit. After all she brought the boy dragon Spike into the world so it's only fitting that he's her responcibility isn't it. Though it was apprantly rough for her to get used to this new task Twilight never gave up and after some time figured out what she needed to know and soon Spike became just as much a part of her life as her parents, the former princess and her studies.
"Twilight has always taken great care of me. If I was ever sick she was at my bedside, she would read me bedtime stories every night when I was really little and only stopped after I asked her to. While we both knew we weren't really related that never stopped us from acting like family." Spike. Apprently even though Twilight was deep in her studies she always found time for her "Number One Assistent."
Even going as far as to miss classes if he was sick, or to splurge her stipend to get him a rare gemstone as a special treat now and then. Spike often returned these gestures of familual love by doing his best to aid her in her studies and in keeping the room they stayed in at Canterlot Castle clean. "We both did our fair share of the work really. Granted she tended to focus more on her studies then cleanlyness around finals time but I can unerstand that. After her grades for the term came out we'd always go and celibrate by seeing a play, or going shoping in the market place!"
As the dou grew up and Twilight drew herself ever deeper into her studies Spike grew more concerned for her. Though he wasn't the only one to have such feelings. her parents, teachers and apprently even celestia herself voiced thier concern over this matter. "Yeah last year was really bad not only did Twilight stop going to Moondancer's parties she nearly had a breakdown durring the summer archology trip when the proff asked her to give the speech about the findings to the team financers and some leading member of the community. I couldn't get her to sleep at all for the two weeks prio to the speech. I'm still not sure how she pulled off the speech so well let lone hid her frazzled apprence so well."
After the rather high pressure of the speech Twilight and Spike settled back into thier normal habits for the next school year. Though as well all can attest this has been far from a normal year. What with the 1,000th and final Summer Sun Celibration and the arrivle of Nightmare Moon. It appers thought that Twilight was once more ahead of the game even though it apprently wasn't enought to save our beloved Celestia. "... Twilight knew Nightmare Moon was coming. I don't know how or why but for some reason three days before the Sun celebration she came chraging into the libairy looking for 'Predictions and Prophies.' given how much she distrusted fortune telling I should have taken her more seruosly. If I had this whole mess might not have happened! Anyway once we found the book she skimmed through it and found a passig predicting Nightmare Moon's return and then had me write and send a letter to the princess asking for her to take actiong. She didn't seem to believe Twilight, instead we were both sent to Ponyvill to make sure that things would be ready for the big day."
So twilight and Spike were escorted to Ponyvil where she begrudgingly set about her tasks to make sure everything would be in order. Apprently Twilight five of the locals (whoes names I won't print as a kindness to both them and Spike.) four of them were invovled in the setup for the big event handling food, decorations, weather controll, or music. The fifth was apprently the self appointed welcome wagon for any newcomers, said welcome wagon threw together a rather lavish party to aid Twilight in finding friends in town. Twilight was not only not impressed she chose to meditate upon things in her room throughout the night rather then join the festivities. However when time came for the rising of the sun Twilight was there bright eyed and bushy tailed for the big event, Celestia wasn't but Nightmare Moon was. "... When I saw Nightmare standing on the Balcony I was so shocked i passed out. From what i was told though Twilight brought me back to the Libairy where we were staying and tucked me in. Then she got right to work on fixing the whole situation she found out about some magical artifiacts that had stopped Nightmare Moon before and where to find them, hoping to use them to stop the eterunal night. the five others went with her, and they got to the hiding spot of the artifacts and even activated them but apprently they didn't work for some reason. Nightmare intended to kill them all but twilight used her magic to get the other five back to town with a teliport spell."
That was the last that Spike heard of Twilight for a month. Apprently one of the five had a friend that worked at the castle and through her they group found out that Twilight was alive. said friend later told them of a time for them to try and mount a rescue mission to save her. In roughly four weeks the reminets of the Royal Guard were going to bolster thier numbers and attack the castle, after said battle Nightmare's own forces would be weaken and the queen herself rendered less powerfull from the exuashtion of combat herself the perfect time to strike. "We waited for the day to come and prepaired a plan, fully expecting twilight to jump at the chance to come back to us, back to ME! something went wrong, she knew! I don't know how she knew we were coming but she did. While two of us had snuck in to find twilight, and other two to be a distraction to by time with me another keeping the cart ready to leave. the next thing I know Nightmare Moon comes sweeping in out of nowhere grabs us then the two running interfences and drags us to her bedroom. I... I don't know why but Twilight was pleading with the two trying to get her to leave her befor Nightmare found out. It makes no sense why she wanted to stay! To be honest I'm STUNNED that there wasn't an antimagic binder on her horn! SHE WAS CHAINED TO THE BED AND NIGHTMARE WAS CLLING HER A 'PET!' She, wanted to stay saying that she had given herself to the queen! Yet she tried to protect us, Nightmare wanted to kill us on the spot but because of Twilight and some filly named Moon Beam pleading she didn't though she did say that if we ever tried to get Twilight back again she'd kill us and punish Twilight! ...I just, I just don't understand! Why did she stay? Doesn't she love me anymore?"
there you have it dear reader. Twilight Sparkle, through her vast research knew of Nightmare Moon coming in advance. For whatever eason Celestia chose not to trust her prized student and set us all up to be ruled by Nightmare Moon. What were these magical artifacts that Twilight discovered, why didn't they work this time when they apprently did in the past? Could it be that Twilight's failure both to warn the princess and later her inability to make these magical artifacts work properly is what drove her over the edge, drove her to the side of our new Queen? I'm not sure my dear readers but i intend to find out! I'm going to get the answers to these questions from the mare herself. Come hay or high water I WILL speak with twilight herself and then after letting her say her peice leave it up to YOu my faithfull followers to deside for yourselves! As always dear readers never stop seeking the TRUTH and always READ between the LINES!
Well here you go the third to last installment of Green Ink's articles I hope it turned out well so you can enjoy it all the better.
133902 One mistake there Janus, Twilight wasn't wearing the anti-magic binder anymore, she shattered it when she went to rescue Nightmare Moon and kill Silent Brook.
Damn, well looks like my muse ran away with me. Still thanks for pointing that out to me. Hopefully that quick fix makes it work better if not just holler at me again. Thanks again for the help Tonto I hope that you like the article otherwise. to be honest I got abit teary eyed writing a few parts of it.
133902 Awesome. Captured Spike quite well. I'd point out what Tonto said, but redundancy is redundant so I shall not.
132314 I'm sorta bitchy with colours, being an art student enhances that; This made my cone cells hurt.
134217 Was going to ask: Cone cells? But then I remember anatomy and was like duh. Why so?
Peppy I have but two questions:
1-How does one get on the banner?
2-Why are you not on it?
134549
1. Don't know.
and
2. Don't know.
134570You should be, you deserve to be up there
134577 Haha thank you. I remember seeing something that knightly posted about the updates and stuff, but I don't remember where it was or how to find it. So I don't even really know what the banner is for
134594 advertising?
Also....THE WAIT IS KILLING MEEEEE
134599 Lol it hasn't been but a day. I'm going to try and get it out before i sleep though. No promises, but I'll try
134639 So it might be up when I get home from work? LE GASP!
134549
I think the banner is for new-ish stories that attract a lot of views.
133122 Thanks! I'm happy that you truly do like it! (ignores the picky artist) haha :P. *attempts to hug you through interwebs* nope, this attempt is futile. Is it truly accurate to what you're thinking, including the red eyes as well? I hope so haha, Im excited for new chapter- no pressure though! Keep it up man, this story keeps me entertained and that is rare for me. I mean you craft it so well! Ending this useless rambling haha.
133053 Yeah *bows gracefully*, You're right, I was actually fighting mentally when I saw the two dark colors choices on that Wikipedia page then finally decided the first choice and I don't regret it at all, it matches up so perfectly with red mane and red slit eyes. I have to say it honestly that I LOVE this Twilight.
132317 *boo!* *giggle*
132699 Actually, don't know if I was thinking that or going for it at that time, when the basic color was done then I did the mane, there was "IDDDEAAAAAAAA" *lightblub* and *graceful movements of mouse* and this was the result and I loved it, but I was bit scared of author's approval but I know I got that now. (Thanks Peppy!)
132406 Yeah, but I figured making her cutie mark blend into her current coat color but yet still be visible is proper choice somehow, but yeah I will make quick changes to it if the author decides to elaborate on the cutie mark changes in next chapter or later ones. Thanks for your input, glad you like it.
132557 Thanks :D
Morfonious, like I said I really do like your work on this. i'm sure that it's just he slitted red eyes and smirk that give me the evil witch vibes. Well that and the fact that the newest chapter of "Under the Northern lights" are playing up Twilight that way for political reasons that make sense when you read the fic itslf.
134999 Political reasons or not, I can see now that there's powerful relationship between Twilight and Nightmare Moon as well her relationship with Moon Beam, is which why I like this story rather than the fake-face that Twilight and Nightmare Moon has to put up front of members of high-society or for political reasons.
Er, the political reasons are from the fic "Under the Northern Lights" in that fic Luna is sent to do some ambassidore work i the raindeer lands she take Twilight with her so she can have someone she actualy trusts by her side. When they get there among other things we find out that Luna is viewed as a goddesss and that Twilight has a reputation as an evil enchantress/ Celestia's personal hit unicorn. For very spoileriffic reasons in chapters 24 and 25 Luna and Twilight use and play up this reputation to help with thier mission.
As for this fic itself yeah, I'm really digging how Twilight and Luna are only drawing closer to each other and how much Twilight is bonding with Moon Beam. I just hope that this meeting with her parents goes well for her. Also I pitty the fool who tries to bring harm to twilight when Nightmare is around it won't end well for them at all.
135023 Ah sorry! I feel so stupid, I took a look over at chapter list for names but didn't find any. Didn't realize you were referring to another fanfic , but that does sounds good the other fanfic I meant. I should check it out.
Hehe yeah, I think Twilight will do same thing for Nightmare Moon, tries to bring harm to her will not end well for culprit well because she have grown mentally and everything, probably got used to gore or bad shit that she saw Nightmare Moon did, and the war itself. I don't think nothing bad will come out of her parents visit but I would love to guess randomly that her parents would probably visit rest of Mane 6 and tells them her current condition or something, just something that I just thought up randomly haha.
