Interesting backstory! And gleaming has some traumas... They do make a strained relation with Twilight make sense, likely without the knowledge of the bookworm. Keeping the amulet makes sense now, but she should've informed the Empress somehow instead of trying to take things into her own hooves.
But now Cadence's actually talking to her, so Shenanigans shall ensue
“ I AM NOT STUPID! ” A loud crack echoed around the room as Gleaming stomped her hoof down hard, cracking the floorboard beneath her. Smoke rose from her mane. She gritted her teeth, her nostrils flaring wide as she snorted. Pure anger was in her eyes as she glared at String Board, her horn coursing with unstable magic.
You actually are, very, very fucking stupid.
I'm surprised you're even alive with how stupid you are.
The again you might have a few STD's and/or permanent brain damage so 'alive' is a bit of an approximation.
But don't worry! Your entire species is stupid with you so it evens out.
You're still marks more stupid than they are though.
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies.
“What are you, stupi—” “I AM NOT STUPID!” [...] “Okay,” String Board squeaked. “Okay. You’re right. I forgot who I was speaking to. Won’t happen again.” Unconsciously, she rubbed at the right side of her barrel, just under the hem of her sweater, where the fur was noticeably shorter. “Won’t happen again,” she repeated. “Not stupid,” Gleaming muttered darkly.
Something happened between those two in the past? Or am I seeing things?
“Um, okay,” Gleaming said lamely. “Thanks… I guess?” As she watched String Board work, a single thought crossed her mind. What have I gotten myself into?
At least things won't get boring.
A pink face with a large grin stared back. “Hiya~~~!”
Gleaming said quickly. “It’s in the pocket that’s enchanted to block scanning magic. I haven’t had a chance to retrieve it yet!”
I was thinking, why would armour have need for a single magic resistant pocket? ...other than for narrative reasons, of course. Maybe, to expound on the idea a little, as for a purpose, “... where we keep our emergency responder beacons.” or something similar.
10482878 In a world full of magic if you could have a pocket that blocks magic items from being detected who in their right mind wouldn’t? Especially what kind of guard or soldier wouldn’t?
(Lol did you just downvote me because you’re mad I’m right?)
I’m intrigued by the direction this story has gone. I wonder how Anon will fit in with it and if the established characters that seemed trivial will resurface.
Oh yeah, Cadence is here.
Oh...this is gonna be good...

Good story but it’s biting off a lot.
Fuck off, Pinkie

Nah not with that tattoo that Gleaming has.

Are there no Alcorns in the story?
YEET
So way Luna’s not back yet or is she trying to overthrew her sister again

And like that all chances of sleep are gone.

This was a beyond epic and wildly awesome lore chapter.
Well hello yourself.
