Nightwing


T

Princess Celestia, the fair ruler of all Equestria, has fallen under the control of a dark force, and has begun a rule of tyranny over her subjects. Using her powerful magic, whatever it is controlling Celestia has enslaved most of Equestria, turning once-upstanding Royal Guards into dark enforcers of her reign.

Not even the Elements of Harmony can stand up to this overwhelming power alone. It falls upon Celestia's own sister, the Princess of the Moon, Luna, to stop her sister once and for all. A lonely adventure to obtain three powerful relics to aid in her quest is in store, and Luna must come to terms with betrayal, combat, and her own feelings as both a princess and a sister.

can't wait to see more, good luck :twilightsmile:

The prologue was pretty good.There some very minor grammatical errors (that did not detract from the story). I would have liked a bit more explanation, however. As of now, you have a 4.5/5 stars and a track from me. it's going to be interesting to see where this goes.

An adventure for Luna? Cool, and your Luna interpretacion reminds me of mine. Nice prologue, you got a track.

This prologue isn't meant to be too long, just a quick narration setting up the story. I'll have the next chapter up within a week!

Wow, this got more tracks than my other fic in a day than it got in two weeks. I was not expecting this! :derpytongue2:

This... is seriously too epic to describe. It's hard to find a decent story about Luna adventuring, and of the Elements Of Harmony failing. Perhaps you could be the one that could create that story? Believe me, you already already gained my easily amused attention :pinkiehappy:

Did I ever tell you ponies how much comments inspire me to write more? The legend begins soon! Stay tuned for chapter four! :yay:

PS. I promise there will be action in the next chapter! :rainbowkiss:

Hate to say this but since luna doesn't get shipped much exept as Lunasty. readership might be low. Fear of Luna's emotional complexity may be the cause. Instant interest+ three chapters read= ... tracked. Don't rush; non pap is hard to write. although I'd forgive you a couple of wordy chapters. And again no Luna emoticons :twilightangry2:

Luna always struck me as an interesting character, despite the fact that her screentime:popularity ratio is the lowest second to Vinyl Scratch. She's a character that, to me, has to deal with the emotional trauma inflicted by the incident that got her banished to the moon, the Nightmare Moon crisis, and even after being saved, she is feared and shunned by all the other characters, when she only wants acceptance (as seen in S2E4). I thought it would be interesting and fun to try and expand on her character.

I know what you mean about low popularity on non-shipping/non-Lunaughty with Luna. I do like having quite a few people interested in my work, but I'm not interested in getting EQD Front Page popularity. This is a story for the ponies who want to see an adventure with our tinier Princess, with plenty of planned character development. It's not for everyone. I'm glad you like the story so far, and even a small handful of people is all it takes to keep me inspired to write. :yay:

Big Mac crying... :fluttershyouch:

Huh, and you said my fic was good. Mine doesn't even compare to yours.

You, my friend, have just earned yourself a track. Enjoy!

Also, as I always say, if you ever, ever need a pre-reader for any story, don't be afraid to send me a PM. Alternatively, you could send me an email at taranasaurus0.0@gmail.com

Have fun! :scootangel:

You again! I've brought my Singularity Cannon to deal wi--... Oh! Awesome! Thank you for the praise and track! Eheheh...! :twilightblush:

I appreciate the pre-read offer, but I believe that I should put my own finalized work out there that I corrected to my own best extent and let the general readers notify me of mistakes. It helps me learn from them. Though if I'm unsure about anything, I'll be glad to let ya know!

whats the shipping? XD

Maybe I didn't make the Cevilestia/Dash as apparent as I thought I did. :twilightblush:

121657

The writer of one of my favorite fics of all time is a fan of MY story?!

128231 You flatter me, this is better than mine, this is original! Something I could never do, keep up the good work my friend, being that Luna is my favorite pony, I am on edge for the next chapter!

Well folks, we've hit the 1,000 views mark, passed 10,000 words, and have maintained a rating above 4 stars! Couldn't have done any of this without you guys. Enjoy chapter six, Cry in Sorrow. :derpytongue2:

I thought Pinkie Pie was freaky already :pinkiecrazy:

O^O Strongheart no....... :fluttercry:

Oh God, Pinkie's going insane again... Why does it always have to be Pinkie :facehoof: And I like the use of the CMC. Just hope they're strong enough to face whatever's in store for them.

:derpyderp2: Okay... ballistics in Equestria... I knew this was inevitable. Pinkie, why can't I understand you?! :pinkiecrazy:

147151

:fluttershyouch: I tried to avoid giving Pinkie guns, but... When thinking about creating Dark Pinkie, I couldn't make her the brute strength fighter like Applejack, and she couldn't use magic or fly. Then I thought... "Oh! Party cannon! I'll give her guns! ... But that's just stupid! They'll hate that idea! ...... Guess I've got no other choice. Heeeere we go... *Clicks publish* "

Thanks for the complement on the CMCs. I'm glad it doesn't seem like I'm trying to force as many characters in until it overflows. Glad you enjoy it so far! :scootangel:

After a bit of a wait, I am finally glad to bring you Eclipse Bane, Chapter 7, Heart of a Lion. I hope you enjoy, and there's a bonus song link in there if you want to use it.

Yay! First:pinkiecrazy: P.S. Little Strongheart :applecry:

156291 I was throwing some edits up on my new story and it click up as New Chapter for you and I screamed with excitement! :pinkiehappy:

:applecry: Little Strongheart... Why didn't I love you more? :fluttercry:

Well, at least we have Pinkie Pie back! Here's hoping that the others will get healed soon. Considering the way this story's going, probably RD or Twilight's gonna be last to be cured. Maybe not all of 'em are even gonna survive :fluttershysad:

D'aw, you're too kind... :rainbowkiss:

Dear Nightwing,
Since I INSPIRE you n what not, I thought I may give your story a lil' read
...

Only shortly after, she just... Snapped.

THAT'S ME! /):rainbowkiss:(\

I kid, I know you didn't base that off of me. Or did you? (DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNN :rainbowwild:)

...

SWEET JEEZUZ BIG WORDS :derpyderp2: Other than that, I'm liking this idea :scootangel:

I shall read more and get back to you :ajsmug:

Interessting :trixieshiftright:

I'll read the rest tommorow. Right now, it is 1:50 in the morning and I should get some sleep.

Ice

Ugh, where to start with this:facehoof: IT WAS AWESOME!

Erm... LunaXMac? LunaXMac. Like a boss.

Erm... LunaXMac? LunaXMac. Like a boss.

If this chapter seems slightly rushed, I apologize. It's been a while since I uploaded a chapter.

203231 Gah! Yay, I love it when stories make Scoots fly!:scootangel: But, anyway. Don't rush your material because you haven't released anything in a long period of time. Quality over quantity, remember that. True fans will wait until the cows come home for your story, like me! Whilst I did enjoy the chapter, I'm just letting you know that I would rather see one solid chapter than see two okay chapters in the same period of time.

D'awwh, I do my best. Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it (especially since I'm already a big fan of yours :twilightblush: ). I'll keep putting my best effort into this story! And of course, Scoots is an awesome pony. She totally deserves flight! :scootangel:

:scootangel: I agree, Scootaloo is best pony! Next to Octavia, I always daydream about her! :rainbowhuh: Shouldn't have said that:twilightblush:

307252 Sorry, I don't really understand the meme, Drowning something, right? I dunno, the only thing I DO know is that it has something to do with Legend of Zelda.

Well, at least they weren't wet dreams, right? Although, Octavia's plot does look... SWEET CELESTIA! Brain, shut up!
