I could be naïve for thinking this but it sounds like the two queens are neutral.
Also has the Empire just been semi-dormant for the past 6+ millennia?
i like it. nice set up. i look forward to seeing where this goes. keep up the good work!

The Empire has been active but those who knew of it thought it was merely a legend. With it being confirmed that it's real means trouble for a lot of kingdoms. There is a reason as to why it simply seemed to stop doing anything but I won't be saying as it will give away far too much of what is to come.
All I can say is that if one looks between the lines them you can see what's been going on with them as well as to the name of the story.
I have a really big theory since you used Kerrigan in the prequel and you refer to something that is of some thing more dark can we expect Amon the corrupted xel’naga as like some rare species that was thought extinct
That would really seem interesting
Could business be picking up already? This sequel is gonna interesting
9279397
You can expect rare and different species but the Kerrigan thing was kind of a one off. This isn't really a displaced story or a cross over but I may or may not have plans for something similar to the xel’naga.
I loved the first one so I know I will love this one as well
Who is this other changling queen, I have an Idea but i won't jump to conclusions
Yes (I might know what your gonna do but I won’t spoil)
Also it wouldn’t be bad to maybe do a Starcraft cross over I’ve seen some good ones on this so I mean yeah but you don’t have to I’m just giving you an idea for a new story as you have done some cross overs (I think)
Holy 🦆 I just read the discription of this again and I realized that part of it is a mention to another story’s chapter
9281503
I don't think it mentions another story...oh, yeah it does reference the prequel a bit.
Lot of night or dark names for the imperials. A subtle protest against Celestia or coincidence?
9281769
Could see that
The Eternal Empire... I hope it does better than the one with same name in galaxy far far away)
9283144
I hope so.

Rip indeed
Every time I reread returning home the prequel to this story I just think of legends never die song in my head
makes one wonder, chrysalis had to of known of the harmony empire then.. if the other queens knew
Looking forward to this.
Hopefully Twilight doesn’t suddenly attempt a stab from changeling PTSD. Besides that I welcome the new Harmony empire and hope to some sort of deity that nothing goes wrong and everyone is happy. Nope no bad things ever. Can’t wait to read this bad boy!

This is good, I like this.

The end of this chapter just blew my mind Because i also a changeling queen OC by the name of Rayla that i made back in July what are the chances of that?
ohhh... by the sun-blasted Sands, you really need an editor...
those poor commas and apostrophes...
Very promising!
good chapter can't wait for next update
Ominous.
They must be big if even rarity refuses to call them anything but...
you said stop her twice at the end”

It's mentioned in the last story she had an army that was both large enough and strong enough to protect Manehattan from a full on siege for several years. I'd give her a good 12,000 troops at best. She has a lot of pony solders and they are all pretty loyal.

What this one said

I think they are pointing out to you that genitals are someone's private bits. You might want to change that to gentle.

9345158
I've given vague answers to that reason in the last story but the official reason hasn't been actually said. There is an answer but one would have to carefully read through the stories to find it
She won't die. Have you ever played Starcraft? If so then imagine Applejack but with James Raynor's personality, a depressed drunk who just want's to move on but life keeps dumping shit on. Her story would be cool as it would be more slice of life with some action in it but not much.

hmm mk ^_^

I fixed it already! In all honesty while it was accidental I do find that line amusing, might make a non-cannon side story out of that one.
Always fun to watch Celly go psycho crazy bonkers.
So Celestia is working for a higher power.... Interesting
Oh Celestia...
Don't you see?
Chaos
Opposes Order

Light and Darkness, opposites who must coexist. Without light there can be no darkness and without the darkness there would be no light. But this is not the way of the world, it is not black and white but something more, it is the Gray. A Light in the Darkness, a Shadow in the Light, Day and Night fall to Twilight, this is the way of the world, Celestia seeks to defy this law.
"Those who are blinded by the light of self righteousness often are the one who drown the world in Darkness."

This comment was too good to waste on a reply
.....So basically Celestia repressing her other side didn’t just crack a twisted form for destroying darkness, it’s made a 100% separate and very UNHINGED identity as well? Shit that’s bad.
9346437
You have Celestia down pat but not the separate identity part, your close but you are looking in the wrong direction. The Figure is someone who I've yet to introduce completely.
You know, if the if the Elements were the heroes, who was the villain they fought?
I've been dieing waiting for you to update this story is was worried you had abandoned it
9346612
It's not abandoned but I have a lot of stories and little time due to work and RL.
