Last time, on Luna "Quest:"

Celestia questioned your current relationship with Luna, in a way. She asked if you would reconsider on the basis that Luna could perchance turn back to NMM should something happen to you.
Finding this to be a childish notion, you told her no. Though you didn't say it as strongly as you may have wished, your response got a smile from Celestia. It appears that it was a test.

Afterward, you spent some time spear training with Golden after the two of you cleared the air of any misconceptions he may have had.

Luna used some minor magic on you once you discovered you couldn't use magic yourself, and you spent some time performing various common day actions while suspended in the air.

Both of you enjoyed your little display, and spent a little time stargazing at the end of the night.

Not only did you get to run your fingers through that bizarre mane of hers, but she left you with a kiss on the cheek before setting out for patrol duty.

It was a pleasant night for all it seems.

[Current Luna points: 33, unless I miscounted.]

Quick, make a choice!

Over the course of time you've trained more with:

Bear - earning strength bonuses and toughening yourself up

Golden - earning proficiency in their short spears and gaining some more agility


And yes, I've decided there will be a small time skip. And the above choices are not meant for combat scenarios exactly, just showing what you focused on during your sparring sessions with your guards.

Actually, a lot of Templar Armour didn't provide a great deal of protection to many vital areas and many historians agree that, in comparison to various other armour styles at the time, it was actually pretty weak. The flat topped, sugerloaf-styled helmet was particularly poor because it made you very vulnerable to blunt weapons like a mace in particular, and to a longsword. Furthermore, it was often chainmail-based around the thigh, waist and torso. It gave maneuverability and a better airflow, which was necessary in the crusades, but vital areas were heavily unprotected

Your days slowly drift into a blur of the same events, with minor exceptions of a day off per week. Two weeks have passed, and you're passing your reading exams with flying colors. You've mastered your awkward dancing with Luna, and now do so once a week when she's in the castle. This week, she is absent.

Turns out Luna had to leave the castle for "official business," and hasn't returned after 4 days and nights.

You voice your concerns to Celestia, citing the journey was only meant to be for two days by your understanding. Celestia shows no concern herself, and tells you to relax.

Another day and night pass, and you grow anxious. Your spars with Bear get more intense as your anxiety gets to you, and eventually he has to stop you before you or him are injured, though he says he's doing it for your own good not his.

Dawn of the sixth day of Luna's absence arrives with a knock on your bed chambers once again.

But when Golden meets you, it's not with a smile as has been the past week. His face is grim, and he wears a buckler on his left hoof, spear in his right.

"It's time for your breakfast, Trainee."

Something's up. He hasn't used your formal title since you got the nickname "Jockey" from the guards.

You step outside your room and see Bear, though he wears different armor than what the other guards wear.

The armor he wears covers his right shoulder, a plated shoe of sorts at the end of his hoof like all the others. His chest has a thin cover of non metal, maybe hide? His helmet covers the top of his snout as well, a padded strip of metal ending just above his nostrils.

And every last bit of it is crimson red.

The air is tense as they shuffle into their positions to guide you to the dining hall.

"What's going on?" You ask, worried at the sudden change of appearances.

"The Princess will explain," Golden mutters as Bear remains silent.

"What's going on? The guards said you would explain, so tell me, why are they armed? Are we in danger? Where is Princess Luna?"

Celestia's smile fades a bit, and she pours herself a cup of coffee from a thermos you didn't spot right away.

"As you say, Bear and Golden, and indeed all the guards in the castle right now, are armed," she takes a sip from her drink, then sighs. It's not a sigh of relaxation.

"Luna still hasn't returned, and neither have her escorts. We must assume that she is either lost or delayed, or that something has happened to her. The fact we haven't received a missive of any kind is…..worrying."

She rises from her seat and walks to an outward facing window, gazing at the morning lit city around the castle, and the wilds beyond.

"Guards at an outpost near the northern border of the Everfree noted her carriage stopping for a rest on her return trip. She was delayed initially by a misplaced storm front, but apparently ignored my warnings and tried to fly through it anyway. We haven't seen her since."

She turns back to look at you, "Bear and Golden have been assigned to the search party, since they are two of my best. Captain Shining Armor will lead their unit. We don't know what happened, whether she's just sitting out there, or something more…sinister awaits."

"I've been training with Bear, I'm more than ready for a scouting mission. And who cares if the ponies out there see me? They have to eventually, that was the whole plan! And I care too much about Luna to let you stop me from trying to help!"

Your face turns red at that last bit. Did you really say that?

Celestia smiles gently, confirming that you certainly did.

"I could stop you, if I wanted to. But you certainly show a strong desire to help her, for one reason or another," the smile fades and her tone becomes serious, "You understand it might be dangerous? It could also be nothing, and maybe she's just sitting somewhere, relaxing, just feeling the need to be alone for a while?"

You nod, and fervently hope it's the latter.

Celestia sighs, "Well, so be it. I can't let you go unprotected, so you will be provided basic armaments by the guards. You will leave with the search party tonight, so as not to draw attention to yourself. Report to the training grounds immediately and talk with Captain Shining Armor about your armor and role to play in this."

"Lastly," she says, walking to a set of drawers on the other side of the room, opening the top drawer and removing something small and circular from it before walking back to you, "Take this."

She drops a small, metal, golden sphere on a chain into your hands. Her emblem of the sun is emblazoned across the top half, the bottom half having Luna's mark of the moon emblazoned on it.

"Take this. It's a magic infused item. When you find Luna, give it to her. It will allow her to regain her energy if she's in danger or weakened. Since you care for her so much, I think it's only right you hold onto it."

The three of you make your way to the training grounds, and you're quickly sized up for some armor of your choosing.

So, what's it going to be?

Light and fast, minimum protection but maximum speed

Medium armor, not too heavy but protects more than light, also restricts a little speed but is the most balanced of the armors

Heavy armor, big and lumbering you'll be slow as a brick, but hit like one

Special: Something different, something like Bear's, focused on one task and one task alone, regardless of protection or speed values. [This will be up to player debate/decision]

Well, before we get too crazy, let's hash out some useful perks that might go into the armor.
Speed boost to keep up with everyone, regardless of weight, would be useful. Might even give a dodge bonus.
Then there's the damage boosting things, like the spiked gauntlets, etc.
Then there's the magic reflection buff. Can easily work against us if it reflects CURE spells.

[Cue montage music! https://youtu.be/zu93FnHm90g ]

The sound of the blacksmith stallion working sets a backdrop for your preparations for the search that begins tonight. You spar lightly with Bear, who refuses to remove his armor, you speak with Golden and Shining Armor, learning that it will be only the four of you.

"Princess Celestia has made it very clear this is to be kept under wraps from the public, so we're leaving at night, on a back road, take the train to the outskirts of Ponyville, which lies near the Everfree, and we hoof it from just outside the station. With luck, no one will see us and we can commence our search without hassle."

The day passes under your exercises and a suit of armor is finally made.

It's colored steel, apparently not painted, and the blacksmith has a unicorn enchanting it while you give it a once over.

It looks solid. Nothing elegant, but definitely durable looking.

The unicorn who enchants it groans and strains, casting a spell before backing up and shaking his head. "Having problems focusing tonight, your enchantment will only last a few days, and it'll weight like it's medium armor. I'm sorry."

The blacksmith encourages you to try it on before asking, "I almost forgot! You want a weapon with that coffin?"

Celestia oversees your exit, and everyone salutes her in turn as they exit the castle.

The back road is easily navigated, and you soon board a darkened train bound for Ponyville. Everyone situates themselves a bunk of sorts, and you follow their lead in sleeping.

When you wake up, the train is still clattering along, though the others have risen and are circulating a small thermos of coffee and some mugs. You drink appreciatively and snack on some rations as you wait for the ride to end.

It finally does around midday, and the train has to stop further out to keep any bystanders from seeing the party hop off the train.

By the time you make it to the Everfree it's the onset of night again, and your party stretch briefly as Captain Shining Armor leads the way into the dark, menacing woods.

"We're surrounded!" Golden shouts, pulling back until he bumps into Bear, who snarls as he turns about, nearly taking Golden's head off in the process.

Captain Armor squints his eyes as he looks into the woods, trying to see what it is you're facing.

Bear's voice is unrecognizable as the snarl leaves him, echoing in the forest and sending birds flying in all directions.

Golden starts forward even as a loud whimpering is heard, many of the eyes suddenly disappearing as the Timber Wolves no doubt turn tail and run.

But a few remain, perhaps not phased by Bear's shout, or too stunned to move.

One shows it's still ready to fight, running forward and attempting to jump on Golden, while a second emerges from your left and charges you!

[Decide action. Once that's settled, roll. I'll resolve Golden/Timber wolf 1's fight in the meantime.]

Shouting a battlecry of your own you charge forward to meet the Timber Wolve's charge. You throw your shoulder into it at the last second and slam the offending creature into the ground. The sound of a thick branch snapping tells the tale of heavy damage to the creature, and it struggles on its side, unable to get up.

Without a moments hesitation you stab the throat of the crippled thing, another loud crack echoing in the forest. Its eyes dim, then fade completely, and after you remove the halberd from it the body changes into an unshaped mass of branches.

You look around to see how the others are faring, and see Golden watching you. Captain Armor and Bear seem to have not been attacked, and the other beady eyes in the woods depart.

Your heart is pounding and you're realizing just how hot the inside of your armor is, but all in all that fight seemed….easy.

"Yeah, these things aren't much of a challenge," Bear says from your side suddenly. Your expression must have been painfully obvious, because he's smiling and dings the side of your leg with a hoof, as though trying to pat you on the shoulder if he could reach that high.

"Still, good job. That sparring paid off, huh?"

You look at Golden again to see if he's hurt, and see him brushing debris from his buckler. Seems alright.

You're searching for something, anything, that would signify that Luna and her carriage, or that any pony for that matter, had passed through here.

Unfortunately, there is very little to go on. The area is densely wooded, it's night, and visibility is poor. Captain Armor refuses to his his magic for light. "It might attract unwanted company."

So you continue to search, slowly but surely.

You're searching the ground in front of you, looking left and right into the woods from time to time, seeing if you can spot a clearing, or lights, anything.

After what feels like hours doing this, you think you spot something in the distance. A clearing? The woods are definitely thinner, but the overbrush seems thick in that area. Possibly growing over something?

You alert the others and they try to spot what it is you're looking at as well.

"I think I found something," you call out to the party, and they form up around you as you point at what you see. "I think it's a building of some sort, looks like it's overgrown, what do you think? Worth checking out?"

Captain Armor pulls something from his bag, and you look to see that it's a map. He looks at it, then at the area you pointed at and nods.

"Better safe than sorry. On me."

Your party forms up and moves out, reaching the area in a few minutes time before finally breaching the clearing.

"Aw c'mon, why does Jockey get rear guard?" Golden whines, until a glare from Captain Armor makes him grumble and get in position.

The party advances through the wrecked doorway, Golden shaking his head at the defaced sigils and vines growing everywhere.

The first area proves fruitless, only wrecked stonework and vines present. Bear points at the dilapidated tower, and Captain Armor nods.

Golden rushes to the side of his fallen brother, grabbing him with his front hooves and trying to pull him from the stairs, away from whatever is coming down them.

"Golden get away from there!" Captain Shining Armor shouts as Golden struggles with his bulky sibling's limp body.


Finally the thing approaching comes into view, and Captain Armor gasps, taking a step back and visibly shaken.

A tall, almost elegant figure strides down the stairs, stopping just in front of Golden and Bear. It has a body blacker than the night outside, and it's mane resembles Luna's and shares her mark.

"N-Nightmare Moon? How?"

As she turns her attention to him, a zapping noise can be heard and Golden screams before going limp, slumping over his brother's also limp form.

Captain Armor turns to you for a moment and yells, "Run!"

You quickly open your sack, grabbing for the orb. You burn your hand on it's hot surface as you try to find it's chain.

Finally, you succeed and put it over NMM's head!

The screeching intensifies, until you think your ears are going to bleed. You let go and cover your ears, unable to stand it any longer even as NMM suddenly staggers backwards into a pile of rubble behind her.

The thing's maw opens, revealing a grey, featureless, stone interior as it rears back, the orb around it's neck glowing brightly. The thing's eyes flare an intense green, huge flames leaping from the sockets as it's facade literally melts away from it, and before long a stinking puddle lies around what looks like a stone pony, devoid of feature besides a strange maw and great flaming eye sockets.

"GET AWAY FROM IT!" Shining yells over the screeching, throwing himself to the floor as quick as he can and putting his hooves over his head.

You throw yourself to the ground and put your hands over your head just as the screeching finally stops, and for a moment, an agonizing moment, nothing happens.

And the next moment, your world is spinning in a deafening torrent, and you see a wall, or maybe that's the floor, rise up to meet you as you brace for impact.

You check your bag to see what survived, but aren't really surprised when you discover your bag isn't with you anymore, a portion of the strap stuck between the plates of your leg armor.

The scene inside the remains of the first floor is worrisome, a green fire all that remains of whatever the hell you were fighting.

Captain Armor lets out a groan as you enter the room calling names, and you run to his side, overturning a rock that pinned his left rear hoof to the ground. His hoof looks mangled, but he'll live.

Rocks are everywhere, one or two of which are on fire. You look around and think you make out the area where Golden and Bear were and rush to it. Sure enough, though dust and rock covered, Bear's body is slumped over Golden's. He must have regained consciousness before the explosion and crawled to his brother.

You try to ask Bear about field splints, but he's fading in and out of consciousness, even after the potion started kicking in.

Golden is wobbly at best as well, shaking his head almost constantly like he's trying to clear it.

So in the end you wait.

Luckily, it's only a few minutes.

Some guards with a carriage arrive, landing out in front of the tower before two pegasi guards fly in a stretcher to remove Captain Shining Armor first. They tell you they only have room for one at a time, so they have to fly him back to the nearby outpost before coming back for one more.

On the second trip back they are accompanied by a darker carriage, flown by dark colored guards with…bat wings?

Sure enough, Luna herself jumps out of the carriage and flies to the building alongside the two guards. As she draws near you can hear her offering her carriage for one of the wounded.

When she enters the wrecked room she stands in shock, perhaps at the devastation, the wounded soldiers, or the fact that you're sitting in the middle of it all kneeling over Bear.

You attempt to wave and smile, though your arm hurts and you quickly have to stop.

In the meantime, Luna stands, mouth agape, staring at you, until finally she rushes to you, her hooves wrapping around you firmly. Even through the armor you can tell she's squeezing pretty hard, and it's starting to make your bruises hurt.

"What…what are you doing here? Why…?"

Luna begins to tremble in your arms as she squeezes you tighter.

"F-for me? You…Oh no. If I'd only come back sooner, you wouldn't..," her voice cracks and she begins to sob gently, trying to talk through her tears.

"If I'd only avoided that storm, you wouldn't, wouldn't be hurt like this. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

The guards leave as they take Bear and Golden away on stretchers, leaving the two of you alone while Luna apologizes again and again.

"I just….thank goodness you're alright. I…I don't know what I'd do, knowing my absence made you get hurt."

You gently move her back from you, looking full into her face and tear filled eyes, before leaning in and kissing her gently.

At first she tenses, but that quickly gives way, and she leans into it, drawing you closer with her hooves.

The moment seems to stretch on for a long time as your lips part, then meet once again, delicately but passionately.

The next few days you spend in the infirmary, recovering from your ordeal and giving details to the guards and staff who ask you eagerly of your exploits.

And through it all, Luna sits beside your bed, reading you stories and chatting with you, trying not to smile too much.

It's the one thing she seems unable to do in your presence.

So though you return from your adventure outside the castle walls beaten and bruised, you're happy. Happy you made it back in one piece, happy that Bear and the others survived, but happy most of all that Luna is safe and by your side.
