"...but when the people grew resentful of the dark, when they shunned her sacred night,
her two halves united and she unleashed her wrath upon the fools and the ignorant,
alas, the sun god protected them from her wrath and trapped her within her ancient tapestry after a fight,
and she could only lament as she was forgotten to the sands of time..."
Luna has been waiting for over a thousand years to return.
A thousand years is a lot of time.
In that much time, many things could have happened.
Chapters (9)
Intriguing concept, NMM returns not to a bountiful lush fantasy world, but a blasted wasteland
I was wondering if this was going to go in the same vein as Left Behind by the Psychopath but this is an interesting direction so far!
This is very interesting so far.
A great setup – feels fresh and unique, which is difficult to accomplish with millions of MLP stories.
The NMM schizzo mind is perfect (for my taste). Bits here and there, that barges in, without lingering to make it annoying.
Pretty curious premise.
There are certainly some potential with it, where roles of the sisters are sort of reversed, i guess. I would be glad to see more
Very intrigued by this story, I look forward to reading more.
Nopony thought to follow Luna and help her with the gun?

Happy to see chapters appearing with the speed of (moon)light!
Looking forward to more.
ooh, neat! given that enough time has passed for the Everfree to turn to desert, there must have been a lot that had happened before Luna’s return!
a cyborg pony piloting an airship and dodging laser beams? this isn’t the Equestria we know!
ah, and of course if Celestia has turned into an evil tyrant, there would be ponies who look to the banished Luna’s return as the one to save them from her
well this town certainly seems exactly like the kind of place you would find on the periphery of an oppressive regime! Luna’s declaration seems very premature but that is fitting to her naïveté
aww, but Luna telling the children stories would have been such a cute moment!
looks like Luna took to being a resistance leader very quickly! though of course Celestia would notice
between the chase sequence with Luna manning the turret earlier and Celestia killing off an underling that annoyed her, definitely getting some Star Wars influence on this story here. and of course Celestia’s actions would be justified from her perspective. thanks for joining the contest!
