Slightly upset with Celestia's plan, Princess Luna decides to visit the Crystal Empire herself and aid the others in protecting it. This is just a short story, of what it could have been like if Luna had a larger role in the Season 3 opener.

High speed elevators 1000 years ago? :rainbowhuh:

"Not sunset, sunrise," Cadance said. "This time of year, night lasts about a half hour."
Luna's jaw dropped instantly. "This is a horrible, horrible place," she said.

Okay, that was funny.:rainbowlaugh:

Thumbs up for knowing the difference between "thy" and "thine". Huzzah!

1626472 I agree; high speed elevators 1000 years ago would be ridiculous. But they did have high speed escalators. Princess Celestia eventually had them banned from Equestria, because they resulted in too many injuries.

Love it. I usually prefer a dark and twisted Luna on the brink of complete self destruction, but a wry, humorous Luna without being out of character is a refreshing change. Very well written, and the joking mention of Celestia's indiscretions made me laugh.

oh gosh, that's priceless.

"None shall touch the Crystal Heart until the fair has been completed!" Luna shouted in the Royal Canterlot Voice. "Now leave it be!"

Oh... my sides, that was hilarious!! Poor Luna.

This was a very cute undertaking for Princess Luna. I'm not sure how I'm taking this however. Despite what I said in my review for CH1, I did expect less humor and for Luna to play a much larger role than this, being a cheerleader for the mane6. Regardless, this was a well written piece and quite enjoyable.:raritywink:

...Somehow, that's even sillier.

Huh.

After you revealed that Sombra had been Luna's student in the past, I was hoping for a bit more interaction.... oh well.

Well, yeah, Why do you think Sombra got rid of them?

More people need to read this!
And I was LOLing at the mention of a "musical number."

You avoided a declension error, but made a conjugation error:

"What bringest thee into our domain?"

It should be "bringeth": third-person singular, not second. In today's English, we'd say "What brings...?"

1647941 I actually think this was a pleasant direction to take because, especially after The Fall of the Crystal Empire, I'm sure there are plenty of darker and more serious fics about Luna and Sombra's "relationship". I personally found it a bit refreshing to find a short, lighter-hearted story about Luna feeling cast aside by her sister, only to realize that they were both at fault with their decisions. :twilightsmile:

The bane of all world-saving efforts, truly

Short and sweet little read
