This story is a sequel to Scars
*Note, the suicide/self harm tag is only there just to be safe. I can't say any more without spoiling a huge part of the story.
*Note #2, This story is prewritten and will be uploaded bi-weekly.
After returning to Twilight's castle, Tempest is eager to find her place among ponykind. However, most ponies still only see her as the villainous commander of the Storm King. Despite Twilight's best efforts, Tempest just doesn't feel like she belongs with the rest of Equestria.
Takes place the day after Scars. If you haven't read that story, I implore you to please read it first. A lot of what happens in the first couple chapters of this story are going to reflect on that story, and you won't really understand what's going on too well or why Tempest's mindset is the way that it is throughout this story unless you read that story first.
Edited by my buddy AJ, as always.
lets do this
A solid start, or potentially a chapter 2 depending on how you want to count Scars.... The characters still feel solid, Tempest seems like she's going to be a very real character with real emotions and reactions, and I'm looking forward to getting into it!

I'm glad to finally be at this point ^_^
9756051
I hope it meets expectations. I've tried my hardest to make Tempest as realistic as I could.
Always happy to see something new from you!
9757086
Thank you ^_^
Good stuff!
David used to be in the Army right? I don’t remember if he saw combat but maybe he and Tempest could relate?
9766918
David was indeed in the Army. As for if they'd get along? Who knows? It's a mystery
9766987
Hmmmmm
Excellent writing, I’m excited to see how tempest and David get along!
9785777
It'll be exciting to see for sure :D
This is an amazing story, please keep going 🙂

Glad you like it ^_^
Wait, when did celestia get involved?
9797127
Everything will be explained in time my friend ;)

Tempest will finally get the help she needs...
9802089
She deserves it
Tempest isn't 'okay'; she hasn't been 'okay' for a long time. She will be, though. She needs help - most importantly she needs to finally have a proper unicorn specialist look at her horn for closure; can it be repaired or is it non fixable; some damn closure on this. She needs a support network, friends she can talk to, maybe a psychologist or therapist... Still, this is very good; she's put a first hoof on a new path to walk.

I agree wholeheartedly with you. Tempest has been through a lot. She needs a lot of help to fix that. One afternoon of venting won't fix two decades of trauma.

Most importantly I would like a scene of some "horn specialists" looking at Tempest's horn; Celestia organizing it all; she's the Princess, let's see her flex a little royal muscle and get Tempest in to see some of the absolute best specialists Equestria has for this! If nothing else, get Twilight Sparkle on it; she's the scholar of magic after all, maybe she can come up with something based on the advice / guidance of the specialists. Something like this would go a long way to helping Tempest be at peace.
This was a good story and I’m excited for your next on!

Thank you :D
I hope it meets your expectations. I'm really excited about it ^_^
I know it's a personal thing for me, but the human insert OC brought the story down a bit for me. No disrespect to the OC's owner, though; overall 8/10.
9823323
Well, I mean, this story is part of a universe that kinda revolves around my OC's, so... yeah.
9823901
I was only partly aware of this. Your OC is not badly-written or anything, it'd just I don't like the character archetype. Still, great story, 8/10.
9824101
I understand. Glad you liked the story otherwise though.
Well color me impressed, you managed to make another story that has exceeded my expectations and more. Bravo, and I welcome your book into my Silver Standard Library, where books that go above and beyond the normal code take their place in the light. Well done, and I look forward to reading your newest book as you continue to inspire and astound me.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work,
Shadow Quill, Messenger of the Moon.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that :)
I do hope you enjoy the rest of my stories as well. I try my hardest to put my heart and soul into them ^_^
You mention that Scar story but cannot find it in your account
9953444
It's linked to this story... that's weird. I don't know why it wouldn't show up on my account. It's rated Mature, so maybe that's why?
9953640
Ah maybe because of that. Have to check my settings , tough I think I put filter on Pony Mature stuff for a reason 😉
9953694
Understandable. I hope you enjoy the rest of my stories then :)
Awww... Poor Tempest
Also...
Aren't there just seven of them there? The Mane Six minus Dash, Tempest and Spike?
As soon as I read that location description I knew what, or rather who, was coming :D
Although I kinda expected Sky having to go dive after Tempest and catching her mid-air... Am I thinking too dark?
9974338
Ah... you have exposed my horrible math skills... It will be fixed
9974394
I thought about it for a while. I just figured that'd be a tad too cliche for this story ;)
9974454
Heh, fair enough. You're probably right about the cliché, seeing as that was what I expected ;)
Ohh, Sky... Classic mistake, saying something you shouldn't know...
Really enjoying the story so far :)
Also ;)
I think that should be a "have been".
Amazing story, can´t wait to read the next part tomorrow
9976345
Thank you :)
Nice, wholesome story. Glad things turned out well for Tempest.
(minor spoiler for the show's finale)
I wonder how the fight at Canterlot castle would have turned out if Tempest would have been there as Twilight's royal guard. Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow probably wouldn't have taken over so relatively easily with her in the picture :)
Incidentally, I've also had this story's cover as a wallpaper for a while now, this time on one of my phones. Nice to know it's story too
9977065
I'm glad you liked the story. And the art ^_^
I hope you enjoy the next story just as much
And Crimson Sky has made an appearance. It'll be interesting to see how these two interact, especially since Sky can relate to Tempest when it comes to dealing with guilt over past actions. Also curious how ponies in general will eventually warm up to Tempest; a bit surprised that seeing her associating with known heroes of Equestria isn't enough for them to come to the conclusion that she is at least worth the benefit of the doubt. I've been enjoying the story, thus far, and look forward to reading more when I can.
