The Doctor, Princess Cadence, Starlight Glimmer and a team of researchers work together to unravel the dark and violent past of one of their most dangerous enemies yet.
I really enjoyed it, I really loved Wagenroll apperence. Congratulations for your first mature story! I hope it goes well with the votes, the community isn't...speaking well to Mature stories in certain things
There came a holler from behind them as a rugged, dark-grey earth pony stallion with a short coal-black mane and piercing deep blue eyes strode out the shadows, dressed in similar armour to Gusty but ebony-black with navy accents.
“Tell me I’m not too late for a race.” he chuckled as Lulu’s face lit up with wonder.
“Midnight!” she exclaimed before bouncing over and hugging him by the muzzle tenderly.
So this is how Midnight Blade looked before "becoming" a bat pony, sounds like a good looking stallion. (Gave me a stupid idea for Blood in the sand)
8426844 Well, it's not really 'Mature' by my choice but 'them's the breaks.' Glad you liked it. Midnight's going to come into his element with his backstory revealed (I can finally get that on the forum after this) What's the idea?
8426873 Sounds pretty good. You can understand now, why Midnight was willing to go to war to bring Luna back to Equestria. He'd known her since she was a foal and watched her grow up. She was like a little sister to him and while Luna fell out with her own sister, she never did with him.
8426876 Sounds like a Deep Friendship. i Think it could be embarreing for him when Luna Shows it and the kids could ask him if he Misses his old Body sometimes
This will be...revealing. I shall look forwards to it.
No real idea who was worshipped prior to the Alicorns, but that won't stop me wildly guessing! From what we saw in the Deeprisen Expedition, they were probably equiform, at least to some degree. They weren't benevolent, and seemed clearly outright malevolent, but I suspect they were more dark and bloody tyrant-gods, rather than incomprehensible cthuloid abominations.
Oh, I have read this, I seem to have forgotten, I can't wait for the next chapter. Interesting and nice cameo. Dvinius reminds me of the Grand Ruler's excuses. I love how you introduced the Warmonger very bold and quite self assured too.
So what did they worship before? I'm thinking before the powers of virtues came, they worship beings that demanded sacrifices to be made as the mortals' misery are their goal or they feed from their suffering while masquerading as divine good. Like what Silent Hill did it's like a parody of Abrahamic religions
8578093 Thanks Cherry. Yeah, Dvinius's references should come as no surprise and I wanted to capture how it would really look from a meta stand-point simply by how obvious a self-insert Mary Sue the original character is. A ranting, impotent, paranoid narcissist willingly deluding himself with visions of glory and desperate to live out his power fantasies no matter what. And the New Hycarionites are kind of the same. I slightly based it off the Thule Society of Nazi Germany. New Hycarion is essentially a nation of self-deluded egomaniacs, a Kingdom of the Lotus-Eaters if you'll pardon how pretentious that sounds, devoting their state's resources into artificially recreating their dreams rather than actually pursuing them. They'll rattle off endless boasts and pretentions yet the only ones they're fooling in the end are themselves. They can actually be quite frightening simply by how disturbed they are as individuals and you worry what they could do with real power.

Luna would Show dinky and the siblings a Photo Album, one picture shows Midnight in his former Form and the kids Connect the dots
8426873

8426888
Well, you'll see his reaction to his 'new' one later.

eager to See it

Glad you like it so far.
I'm trying to get somewhere between the two.
8432456
Fair enough. It shall be interesting to see how it turns out.

Hey Patch, I like the story you have so far! Especially that it features past Equestria. It's always a good treat. Keep up the good work!

This suddenly reminds me of the Indiana Jones plot for the heroes not just Silent Hill. I'm not going to ask for more, but I'd love to see more.
