Trixie unexpectedly visits Luna, who must scramble to accomodate her. The visit is special, so Luna wants to get it just right. Getting a visitor on the moon is rare after all.
8080231 Due to the mention of 'feeling like a dagger was in her shoulder' my guess is it was a ritual... probably a cult sacrifice type....except it actually sent her to Luna, body intact, instead of to Nightmare Moon
Haha, nice! I like the tease of mystery that was added here. There were some big questions posed by the last chapter and here they weren't answered exactly, but I like that in a story. It feels interesting.
We also got to see Luna acting pretty unbalanced, which is a nice way to start building up her instability. Now to make me second guess myself, haha.
I thought Luna inching towards Trixie was cute and funny, but I'm thinking Trixie hasn't had her proper breakdown. This doesn't seem to have been the plan, exactly. I wonder if Trixie having to deal with an unstable, powerful alicorn will put that off out of necessity?
I like the story, but you need to work on you "olden time" speech, especially with thou/thee/thy/thine.
Thou = You as a subject.
You are eager today. --> Thou art eager today.
Thee = You as an object.
We thank you. --> We thank thee.
Thy/Thine = Yours (Which word to use depends on the beginning of next word: thy if the next word begins with a consonant sound, thine if the next words begins with a vowel sound.)
That is your bacon and your eggs. --> That is thy bacon and thine eggs.

I'm trying! I went through the 'turns out only' episode of Luna speaking this way, I found definitions for all of it, and made my own little cheat sheet which looks like this:
Nay pray tell speak'st tis huzzah likest art
verily: certainly
Word Translation When to use
Thou You When “you” is the subject of the sentence.
Thee You When “you” is the object of the sentence.
Thy Your Possessive form of you. Commonly used before a noun that begins with a consonant/consonant sound (like the article, “a”).
Thine Your Possessive form of you. Commonly used before a noun that begins with vowel/vowel sound (like the article, “an”). Also used when indicating that something is “absolute and understood”.
Ye You (plural) Plural form of “you” when addressing a group of people.
But I guess I am not interpreting it as I should then. I write the chapter out and then go back and see where and what to change in her speaking. I will look over it and see where I went wrong.
8086485 Yeah, that cheat sheet is spot-on. Glad you're gonna go back and edit the chapter. Just keep using that sheet and you'll get the hang of that manner of speech in no time.
8094504 What? It probably was. Ho w could a threshal do it alone? Unless this is some drug induced fever dream for Trixie, or Luna's completely lost it.
Okay. Anyone else wanna hug Luna? *Goes to hug Luna*
Okay, Trixie. What did you do to piss off a Thestral? How was a thestral able to send her to the moon anyway?

Now lets watch what happens next !

Poor Luna, so desperate for affection. Of course Trixie is dominating the situation.
