So far I like it this, its going into my favs for now.:pinkiehappy:

*Claps hands* Well played sir a Follower u have gained

I love it. This is so different from other HiE fics. This one just... Is. There just happens to be a regular old guy in Equestria. I FUCKING LOVE IT!

I'll keep an eye on this.

Interesting... I'll keep my eye on this.

Why does this not have more likes...

yes a good story keep up the good work

The safest way of deal with a human is to follow the following principle: A human will tell one truth, one lie and one uncertainty.

I don't quite understand the meaning behind this line, also, this is a pretty sexy story, fav'd and thumbed.

its very interesting to say the least :moustache:
good job good sir

Reading fight scene between solar guards and Hunter.
My thoughts:

Shouldn't these idiot fuckers recognize Hunter, seeing as he has been here for a week?

The only reason I could think of was that these were rookies.

Shining Armor was looking over the new recruit assignments

I personally would think that they would have some info on who is staying long term at the castle so that they know what to expect, or at least Shining Armor, as he is the captain of the day guard, like the night guard's captain, Shrouded Armor, who seems to be up to date on castle stuff.
I also remember that there were other solar guards who (kind of) interacted with him. Chapter 2 in the beginning.

Keep in mind that the solar guard at the door in chapter two looked at Hunter suspiciously

1836969 Yeah, but did he try to attack any of them at anytime? As well as in the fight, he just stood there, not fighting back. If I was one of the guards attacking, one of the things I would notice is that Hunter isn't trying to do anything, even try to dodge. He just stands there and allows the guards to hit him without any reaction other than to try to surrender.

poor poor girl

crap missed first by 31 sec

How so?

Pretty great story, and while I feel the definition of the humans is... slightly harsh, I guess it applies, somewhat. While it is harsh, I absolutely love it, as it makes humans sound quite evil.

I have good hearing; and whoever told you that hooves on stone flooring was quiet... lied to you.

ah luna trys to get closer to the man but the head pain will make it all harder to be friends

Dun dunnnnn. TACTICAL PLOT DEVELOPMENTS INCOMING!

TAKE COVER!

Well this is going to be a welcome monkeywrench in something's nefarious plans, actually trying to throw Hunter and Luna into each other's arms as a distraction. Foals! :rainbowlaugh: Kinda hard to start a forbidden romance when they cant even touch. :ajsmug:
Hopefully this is going to give him some breathing space to see the other machinations centered on his person...

Such a great story!! Why must you cliffhang it here! D:

"Align yourself with a house"
It's just like Morrowind all over again.

And now I suppose the Diamond Dogs join the fray.

Lovely, just lovely; I wonder if you're planning to ship NightmareMoon as separate entity or as one with Luna. Which leads me to wonder what the cylinder tube is. I'm guessing a gun, but I do not recall him coming to Equestria with a gun. This is Great chapter, none the less.

Hrm, Somebody is going to a lot of trouble to steal an ammunition cartridge just to find out what secrets the human has to use. The old adage of "Chimpanzees and Dynamite" might apply to the conspirators at some point soon... :applejackconfused:

It's a bullet. What's my prize?

1947840
Its a call back to chapter 1; when Luna see him he is holding something that she describes as a weapon, even though it never says what it was

1948317
An invisible cookie; which, sadly, has gone missing

1950886 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hey. Hey. You... I love you for this. And I'm sorry to say I can't draw worth shit.

Evo

Great story so far...minor gramatical errors (not that I do better myself...)...othervise its seems like a solid story.
Allso...nice 'Samurai Jack' ref (its were I know the scene at least) :pinkiehappy:

Probably more but oh well

“You're welcome, Professor.”

Bold

I go from doing nothing, to completely exhausting myself in just two days.

Tense

“Very well, let's go find him.”

Bold

While I'm fairly sure your semicolon usage is technically correct, it feels overused and unneccesary.

they said something about you being an Element of Harmony, and are a hero, but they didn’t really go into details.

Feels awkward to read

“You're welcome, Professor.”

Fixed

“Very well, let's go find him.”

And Fixed

I go from doing nothing, to completely exhausting myself in just two days.

This has been changed to show its internal present tense dialog

they said something about you being an Element of Harmony, and are a hero, but they didn’t really go into details.

And awkward conversation is still awkward. I really don't know how to change this one.

Sexy... I imagine a lot of jealously will take place in the future.

Bum bum bummmm. There, I said it.

The human introduced himself as "Hunter", but was referred to as "Nathan" at one point:

“Yeah, back on my… world, I guess, humans are the only sapient creatures.” Nathan answered looking from one princess to the other; the two princesses stared at him blankly. “I’m guessing by your reaction that it’s different here?”

Might want to fix that.

Nightm- err Selene x Hunter shipping? ... Do continue.

Ha, the mental imagery of Luna frantically jumping into Celestia's bed :moustache:

Someone remind me though what stakes the Diamond Dogs have in this story, it's been too long...

2033986
Good catch. I totally missed that one.

Wow, Hunter is certainly deep in the web isn't he? Anticipating who gets him first......

“If we attempt the rescue, the griffons might think we are planning a war with them. If we let the actions of these diamond dogs go unchallenged, the other nations will think that we are unable to protect our own boarders and go to war with us.” (borders)

I hate "speilczech" sometimes... I'm guessing this is an auto-replace error on its part... :ajbemused: It also cant pick out similies despite the grammer check it also does.

Jesus, shit is about to hit the fan here. Like a 10 gambit pileup...

Hunter raised his hands in defense, “Yeah, I did, but they don’t talk they’re just… animals, no more intelligent than a dog or a cow.”

“Cows are also capable of speech.” Celestia said talking a step forwards.

“What?!”

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I must say Princess Luna remains remarkably calm at the possibility of Hunter dying

Whats to say she's not some what use to lost barring the obvious, well certainly wanting to see those time gaps filled in.......

wow go hunter that sounds like what would really happen if a human end in there. we might not be the strongest, the toughest or the fastest not even the smartest but there is a reason why you don't mess with humanity cause you can't break our sprits. firt. :moustache:

“Monkey will tell us what it knows about metal tube!” the alpha yelled at him.
“No.” he simply stated.

too many to list, ctrl-f for <” > (quote and space) to track down all the errors.
do not capitalize after a quotation (here)

Then there was a crack of a whip and the human grunted in pain.

lacking in the 'show, don't tell' department (I feel this is a problem throughout the story but it stands out here a lot); how about "The human grunted in pain as the alpha's whip cracked through the air."

The victim is [exposed to?] a series of nightmares

this is either wrong or an expression I'm not aware of

it's better for everyone that way.

missing verb

than scabs and scar tissue

spelling

I’ll have one of your new cellmates killed; regardless of whether or not you like them.

the 2nd part isn't a complete sentence so it cannot be separated by a semicolon

The ponies looked at the human then at each other then back at each other.

duplicated words

he started work on yet another.

not sure if this is the correct verb tense

Eventually one filly gathered together enough courage together and walked over to the human.

together used twice

see how I had to use straw and not tread

verb tense

An update on how our lovely factions and their schemes are progressing in this gambit pileup!

The Good Guys and Luna who just wants her friend/crush back :fluttercry:. Awaiting his 'miraculous' survival :)

Royal/Blue Blood who just want to use them for their own gain (opening some hidden vault afaik). Somehow I'm feeling that keeping Hunter alive is just a side effect and they wouldn't care less otherwise... Still it's a step up from the others.

Lady Prestidigitation and her misguided attempt to fulfil a prophesy :facehoof:... This has to be a trope.

The griffons appear neutral.

And our mystery faction that wants to kill Hunter, while at first I thought they were diamond dogs it appears changelings are now involved too!

Hmmm...humanoid proportions...shapeshifter...tiger like features...

...Was that a rakshasa?

When the fake Hunter showed up, what made me realize that he was fake was that he got near Luna without any pain, which has been a recurring event with the alicorn sisters.

After I realized this, I then had an idea that the real Hunter would show up, beat the shit out of the assassin, and then probably go into a coma from the abuse his body has suffered.
