Yes, Luna is exactly the one to raise einherjar, isn't she?

Luna has many times been linked to the afterlife, so that's a pretty common headcanon. And of course if there are monsters to fight in dreams, there could easily be monsters to fight in the Beyond. However, there's that ol' saying about what happens if you gaze too hard into the abyss.

Luna is the Alicorn of the Moon, not death. The Tantabus, which is the monster you're probably referencing was a creature of her own creation, created from the bad emotions that surfaced when she threw a hissy fit, just like Nightmare Moon. From what we see in the show, Tartarus seems to be the most likely comparison to earth's concept of hell, and they've pretty much got it under lock.

I wrote "headcanon". Many consider sleeping close to death and assign Luna the wardenship of the dead as part of their headcanons. Luna has also been fighting monsters in both Equestria and the dream realm in fan fiction from early on in the series, well before "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?". It's a short step from there to having her fight monsters in other realms as well. Further, nobody mentioned "hell" or "Tartarus". Just monsters in places where the living don't go, which, as we've seen, does not include Tartarus.

Penalt's short story is a nice addition to the works who touch upon these ideas, and I wouldn't mind at all to see him develop it.
