Here lies the wistful delusions of the sleep addled mind. Actually wait, no, just me.

This story is a sequel to The Sun and her little Sparkle


It's been ten years since Twilight was adopted by Princess Celestia and the elements of harmony were put to use all too soon. Luna never awoke, though, and she remained a secret to most outside of the elements and those few servants who were tasked with keeping the sleeping princess alive and well.
Nightmare Moon returned, however, and was subsequently banished by the Elements of Harmony once again.
This is the story of what happens after. How the Night truly became what it was always meant to be.

why the human tab
also first so there the first has been called you all can shut up about first

8098502 The human tag is there because they're humanized.

8098670 ok why tho the last story they were not

8098673 It is actually explained in the author note, but I changed it to human because it's easier to write for me.

8098687 oh ok still reading the sun and her little sparkle

Easier to write them as human eh? Going to be a bit weird with all the pun names though? :trixieshiftright:

I liked the first story, so I will stick with this one.

8099214 It's still Equestria, it just gets weirder and weirder to write ponies. Especially romance.

So my memory did not fail me with the previous story having ponies and not humans. Good to know I'm not getting senile yet :rainbowlaugh:

Either way, that's a decent start so far. Let's see where it leads us :twilightsmile:

I noticed a few times when you started a word with a capital letter when you didn't need to (boredom, politics, education, drake...).

Good save there with Twi making Luna not feel like a last resort. That could go sour fast.
So Twi will officially study under Luna now. Yayness! They'll spend some more time together! I wonder if she'll ever take Luna to meet her other friends properly. After all, Luna can't keep having only Twilight and Celestia as those close to her.
Well, she can, but it's not a good idea.

Also, fast aging acceleration for Spike due to the magical exposure? Interesting. I wonder how it'll affect his life span - while he is developing faster than any dragon, that probably also impacts how long he'll live. Ah well, not something to worry about now at least.

8106053 yeah that's a problem I know I have,but glad you enjoyed

patented cushion fort from the furniture in the room and curled up inside of it to read.

Are best forts

Heres some corrections to the typos for you.

“Oh Twilight, I’ve never had an Apprentice before! If course I’d be more than happy to accept you as one!”

That should be of course.

“Meet me i my quarters..."

IN my quarters.
Good work :twilightsmile:.

“I’ve learned from dusty old books in the corners of the library before, you have to be a better teacher than that.

I would hope so.:raritywink:

This is a solid chapter I definetly could see Luna as twilights mentor.

I wonder what she could teach Twilight... heheh :trixieshiftright: I can already smell the shenanigans, nobles of Canterlot beware, Twilight Spatkle is coming.

I like this concept of everyone having their own personal Nightmare entity. And Twi's so far looks more like a nuisance than a real threat. Well, unless she refuses her so much that the Nightmare actually grows in power from Twilight ignoring her so much.
We'll see, but this is certainly an interesting turn of events.

so twilight nightmare is the genderbend discord.....oh this is going to be good,
make me wonder what celeitia nightmare is........ oh wait I bet it is discord

yea for this story look good

When is the next chapter going to come out? :rainbowhuh:

8206275 when wal mart gives me an ounce of my soul back. Or we get new hires so they can stop working my ass into the ground.

8207017 Work has been really kicking my ass these past few months. What little free time I have left go into my tabletop gaming at night and I don't have the energy to write on my days off. I already had to cancel the games that I run. I don't know when this hiatus will end, but it will once we have a full crew and I don't have to do 3 people's jobs anymore.

8208064
Ok I understand just take it easy. I at least think that a story this good is worth the wait. :twilightsmile:

obligatory 'it lives' comment

Yessss it's alive it's alive.

Where knowledge comes to die?
Hoo boy, that's going to be a lot of material for Twi to nerd out over.

8738328
FoE and DJ Valkyri-3 got me back into writing, This one is pretty high up there on my to do list XD

8894453
I just got a nice notebook so I should be able to put more into writing soon so hopefully

I JUST noticed this when did it switch to anthro? Hands and fists are not made from or part of hooves

8937258
it's not anthro, it's full human. It has the human tag and it is explained in the A/N of the prologue

More please.

Just how much was retconned? This does not really seem like a sequel...

8987499
lol sorry, working a lot lately and been focusing on clockwork dreams. This'll get updated when it gets updated- I have no idea when I'll get the wind I need to do so.

when can we expect the next chapter?

oh i cant wait for the next chapter! <3

Still hoping for more.

You and me both my friend

If either of us see you in court for this again I will personally strip your titles and demand your land as compensation for the insult.

wow... I think this sentence just beat a world record, explaining an entire political system while committing political (or in the case of noble retaliation then literal) suicide, all within one short breath

this line tells of a monarch system in a feudalistic society, which unlike a complete monarchy where the king has all land, it means that the land belongs to the nobles. by the princess threatening this, all the nobles will see this as a threat to their power, which in response could end with all the nobles turning on luna. meaning she loses all influence over her country, she gets no tax money, and she loses access to the military, meaning all luna would have is her personal guard that she would be forced to pay for with a rapidly depleting royal treasury, with only her own castle under her control, and that is at best. luna would be basically screwed if the nobles decide to crush the threat, by raising the nations army against her and replace her with a monarch that would not dare threaten the power of the nobles

well im assuming this is feudalism, and since you hinted at it and so far there is nothing say otherwise, i would say luna just made a grave mistake

9848512
bro this is an MLP fanfic not a modded 64-player crusader kings 2 match, chill on the overthinking the hell out of the political system.

9849966
But overthinking Monarch Political systems is fun! :)

I'm back on my usual content hiatus because working full time and participating in 6 tabletop games a week doesn't spell good news for writing energy

Please make more chapters for this.
