I agree, although the episode with the dragon trapped in the book seems like she should have seen it coming...
Then you and I were thinking the same thing without me realizing it. :derpe: If you didn't, Cadence would have.
Star, there were two crystal balls. The one on the necklace became black, and that was the one Jack took with him. The clear one that summoned Jack in the first place is the one he left for Yclept. Saying "Hey Yclept. Call me if your in a jam."
@Crimson Lionheart, you're moving the story way too fast. Obsidian and Silver haven't left the Crystal Empire yet. At the moment, Moon is still speaking to Obsidian. Also, the Gulag cannot be in the Everfree, as the Everfree is beyond Celestia's control. That's why Silver based the Night Guards out of the Castle of the Ancient Royal Pony Sisters (aka Castle Harmony). Silver has lived there for many years, protecting both Luna and "his" forest. He likely would have noticed a giant prison fortress.
I know that Obsidian and Silver have not left yet, i have written that the campaigns in the other lands will provide a cover to keep you three safe and to divert attention to where the action is. Forgive me for moving the story a tad to quickly. Also, reading from the start of the RP. Luna and Silver were in Ellion, which i believed that they have remained after her abdication. While in the meantime Celestia has obviously become corrupted, mega powerful, and made her kingdom into an enormous empire, which then proceeded to swallow up other lands over the course of the previous 175-200 years after the E.O.H disappearance. She would have searched the Everfree extensively for Luna and have decided to build a gulag in there as so. I could move the gulag's location and fix it if you wished to avoid any complications. Sorry for my mistake.
At the start, Luna and Silver were in the Everfree, not Ellion. My very first post involved Silver planning to travel to Ellion in search of allies, after an assassination attempt on Luna. Concerning the Everfree Forest itself, canon places it outside of the direct influence of the Equestrians. "Clouds move on their own... animals take care of themselves..." That, and the existence of plants like Poison Joke, which so closely mirrors Discord's chaos magic, and creatures like the Parasprites, lead me to believe that the Everfree Forest was the original seat of Discord's kingdom. Which makes it a fitting home for a chaotic pony like Silver.
Alright, fair enough. The Everfree Forest can be considered 'Conquered', but is poorly protected and maintained. Due to it's 'danger's', it cannot be fully occupied, making it the perfect place for Discord to rule and others to hide from the Empire's long reach. Also, plot twist coming soon. I need [MENTION=2470]Quill Inkwell[/MENTION] to post otherwise i cannot advance the plot line with Celestia, Crimson, Ocean and Venquis. Which is the reason for why im posting as Prisoner Zero aka Midnight Dawn at this moment. Also, upcoming plot twist. Like, i mean a MAJOR plot twist.
My guesses would be: A. The return of the Mane Six. B. Mane Six confirmed dead, killed by Celestia. C. The Elements get put into play, with new wielders. Am I even close?
I already have the element of honesty thanks to ghosties. Even if it isn't C. But the ghosties showed me the book saying someone at least PLANNED to kill them. So, I'm going with B.
Very close, but i wont reveal what's going to happen yet. Also, for everyone, this might help you in your posts. It's a simple list of solider ranks and so forth for The Equestrian Empire. You start off with your basic solider, which is exactly like our military. Going from Private to General and so forth. All are dressed in your classic Red armor, think of Imperial armor in Skyrim. These guys number about 75-80% of your encounters. Then, we have the Equestrian Rangers which constitute an elite branch of the Equestrian military and are considered to be a distinct organization in their own right. The Rangers are hand picked from the standard infantry for their combat and stealth abilities. They are well known for their ability to infiltrate enemy territory and successfully complete missions with great efficiency. Their force of will and general determination has made them famous across the military as expert troops. The Rangers are recruited from the best of the military and even then, 80% do not finish training and drop out. They are the considered your elite mook against the Republic's forces. Finally, we have The Solar Flares. Solar Flares take orders directly from Celestia and are either made up of former Rangers who have served over twenty years in the military. Solar Flares have a legendary reputation amongst the people of the Equestrian Empire and their enemies. Their armor is a hybrid of Ryborian spell-sword armor and Equestrian Ranger armor and carry decorated weapons. Rarely seen on the battlefield however, but are often deployed in assassination or torture operations. That's all for now. Hope this helps. Sorry Quill, not even close. But Zero is Royal, so you've made one correct guess.
Wait... I thought you already said that Prisoner Zero was Midnight. Also, concerning the Night Guards... their combat abilities are somewhere in between Ranger and Solar Flare, but they are not as well armed or armored as their Equestrian counterparts. Except for Silver. Silver is Batman.
