Last time, on Luna "Quest:"
Adventure!
You
woke up to discover that Luna was missing! It became apparent she had
somehow gone off course or was in some form of danger, as she was days
overdue from her "important business."
Fearing for her sister's
safety, Celestia organized a small search party. You couldn't just stand
by, and so persuaded her to let you go. Thus you were given armor and a
weapon, and set out with Shining Armor, Bear, and Golden to search for
Princess Luna.
What you found in the Everfree was a mysterious old castle ground. Undaunted you proceeded to search the ruins.
Bear
triggered a trap that nearly crushed him and Shining Armor, and was
sealed off from the rest of the party. Finding a crescent emblazoned
stone button of sorts, the partition was lifted.
But the ruins were far from safe.
Bear landed at the bottom of the staircase, a bloody mess from what soon stomped down the stairs after him.
Nightmare Moon.
Or
so you thought. As the battle raged, it became apparent that this was
not the actual Nightmare Moon. Only when you put a magic imbued artifact
given to you by Celestia did the facade fade from the creature. It was
some kind of stone golem, imbued with magic and quite deadly.
With a screech, the thing exploded, flinging you through a brittle wall and onto a nearby hill.
After
recovering your senses, you dug your party members from the rubble.
Shining Armor fired a magical signal flare, and collapsed.
Royal
guards from a nearby garrison arrived with a carriage and a stretcher
to take the wounded one at a time. Surprisingly, Luna's carriage and
personal guards also arrived.
As she doted over your well being, the others were carted away for immediate attention.
Overwhelmed by what had happened, you did the only thing you felt right. You kissed Luna, firmly and passionately.
She accepted it, and you rode in her carriage back to the garrison, and subsequently the Royal castle in Canterlot.

That was days ago, and seems distant from your hospital bed.
Despite
you insisting that you aren't injured, both Princesses and the entire
medical staff demanded you stay in bed. Both to make sure you were
healing properly, and to take notes on how your body repairs itself,
apparently.
That's not to say it's been an unpleasant experience
thus far, both Celestia and Luna taking turns staying at your bed side
and making sure you're cared for.
Celestia and a handful of her
upper echelon of guards listened to your initial report with concerned
looks, but told you to rest before they came for a more detailed
recounting.
It seems today is that day.
After your
breakfast in bed, provided by a smiling Luna, Celestia and her guards
come in, bringing seats to sit on around your bed. Even Shining Armor is
wheeled in, a hind leg in a cast. He nods an acknowledgement to you,
taking a place behind and to the right of Celestia, who sits beside her
sister, to your right.
The medical staff leave the room after reporting your stable condition, and Celestia asks what you remember of your encounters.

You recount the Timberwolves, and one of the guards hand waves that section away.
"The Ruins are the most important factor of this story, please, skip ahead."
Everyone looks expectant, so you skip to exploring the ruins.
You
recount entering, Bear tripping some trap, and the golem with the
visage of Nightmare Moon. Luna appears shocked as this information is
revealed to her, and everyone seems most interested in the golem, for
obvious reasons.
When you finish, they have questions of their own.
"How did you defeat it?"
"Where did it come from?"
"Who was it targeting?"
"How powerful was it?"
"Do you think it was controlled, or automated?"
Celestia finally waves a wing, the small gust of air flapping your bed sheets as the motion silences her advisers.
"Please,
one at a time," she says firmly, but politely, as she turns her gaze to
you, "First, tell me. What was your reaction to its appearance?"

The adviser allows a small smile on his face, and he nods silently.
Celestia smiles and looks at her sister, momentarily putting a wing around her.
Luna opens her mouth to say something, then rises from her seat.
"E-excuse me, I need to step outside a moment."
No
sooner does the door shut behind her than some of the other guards
begin questioning you, a couple in particular getting rather heated
until Celestia once again waves everyone silent.
"Now, now, if you were in his position you'd have been concerned for her as well, would you not?"
They
grumble amongst themselves before relaxing once again, only the guard
who gave you the initial question not bothering to get upset, aside from
Shining Armor, who just sits and listens.
You think you catch Celestia wink subtly at you before she asks the next question.
"So, how did you deal with the monster?"

"Well, after Bear told us in no uncertain terms it wasn't the Princess, I uh, charged it."
This
makes every eye go wide, the exception being Shining Armor since he was
there and saw it first hand. In fact, many turn to face Shining and ask
if it's true.
He nods, "He sure did," he looks at you with the hint of a smile, "Though he could've done it sooner."
You smile back at him before continuing.
"The
thing was approaching me anyway. But when I got close, something in my
satchel started smoking. Turns out the amulet Princess Celestia gave me
was burning hot. Not knowing what to do, I put the amulet around the
creature's neck."
Celestia looks intrigued, and an adviser prompts you to continue.
"Well, it uh, exploded."
Murmurs begin to circulate about the small hospital room, theories of what could have happened abound.
When
you elaborate on how exactly it reacted to the amulet, they conclude
the magic held within the sphere must have overloaded the magical
construct, causing its explosion.
"Why it would have willingly
sought out the one carrying a device capable of destroying it is another
matter," Celestia surmises.
Happy with your answers, the small
council begins to depart, Shining Armor being wheeled into the hall by
one of his compatriots, though Celestia stays at your bed side.

smirks and gently pats one of your legs with a hoof, "Don't worry about
that. I can always imbue some other artifact with magic," she sighs,
"Although that one was sort of special to me and my sister. Regardless, I
can craft a new one in time."

"And
you were concerned she had somehow reverted to that hateful form,"
Celestia says, nodding gently, "Shining Armor told me you threw down
your weapon and tried to reason with it."
She allows herself a
smile once more, "It was noble, if a bit naive." Slowly the smile fades
and her face becomes serious, "But you could have been killed out there.
If this creature was every bit as dangerous as you and Shining Armor
say, not to mention the condition Bear came back in, then I have to ask;
What were you thinking, charging such a powerful creature like that?"
You
didn't notice at first, but her voice has slowly risen and taking on a
stern tone, and she's pacing back and forth on one side of your bed.
"I am disappointed in you, young Trainee."

"I wasn't going to just let it kill the others!" You find yourself replying loudly, trying to defend your decisions.
Celestia stays silent, her eyes looking into yours. Despite her scolding attitude, they don't seem to convey any anger.
"You
have to think about the consequences of your actions," she says slowly,
"If your brash actions hadn't worked I'd have lost three of my best
soldiers and a being we know very little about who I said I'd protect."
She
sighs, retaking her seat, "I know you did what you thought was right.
And it's true, losing even one of you would have hurt. But you have to
be more careful. Not only are you supposed to be a guest of mine, not a
soldier, but think of the ramifications of your injuries, especially

The
sudden voice makes you and Luna jump, Luna squealing briefly before
covering her mouth with a hoof and blushing incredibly as she looks over
her shoulder, one of her hooves still draped around your shoulder as
she straddles you. You look over her shoulder towards the door as well,
your arms still firmly locked in a hug around Luna.

"What." You reiterate the question as a statement, your mind still not wrapping around what's going on here.
"S-sister!
You could have knocked first!" Luna says, slowly pulling herself away
from you to get off the bed and face her sister, who outright giggles at
you and Luna's awkwardness.
"Oh don't mind me, I won't stop you.
I was just checking in on you since you'd been in here for some time.
But if you need more time alone for more….personal matters…."
You
can't see Luna's face but you're sure she's blushing, though Celestia
walks to her side and puts a wing around her, the two of them
whispering.
Finally, they both giggle, Luna leaning into her
sister and hugging her with a wing as well, before heading to the door.
She waves at you, and you wave back, before she heads out into the
hallway.
Celestia sees the look on your face and can't help but
giggle a warm laugh, "I'm guessing you'd like to be filled in on what
just happened?"

"Y-yes, please," you say, hastily asking, "You ARE Celestia, right? Not Luna?"
She laughs once again before sitting in a seat beside your bed and begins to explain.
"Yes,
I am the real Princess Celestia. My sister, as you noticed, was very
worried about you after you returned from your search in the Everfree.
Well, she thought she would command you to stay in the castle from now
on, but felt she couldn't ask you herself."
"'So, why didn't I do
it for her?' you may be asking yourself," Celestia says as she gauges
your face for reactions, "Because I thought you were doing the right
thing when you volunteered to search for her. We had our little talk
before, you remember, and you made it clear you weren't going to be
swayed away from pursuing her. No matter the consequences."
She
smiles, "Well, should not a stallion, or a man, desire to protect those
he cares about? I did worry about you, I truly did. But I understand the
need for you to be there for her. She didn't take it as well. So she
asked, well, begged really, to impersonate me so that you would listen
to her. So she could make you stay here, where it's safe, probably
forever."
Her smile widens, "But I think after your little moment
together, she'll start to understand you can't command people to
effectively stop caring about someone. To stop being willing to put
yourself on the line for them."
She bows her head deeply, "I'm
sorry for the deception, but in the end I thought it would be a way for
you both to learn something."
"Although I may have been a bit
tardy on my entrance. And to walk in on such a scene! If what Golden saw
was anything like this, I can see why he'd be flustered."

"And…what of our relationship? Do you mind? Is it alright?"
Celestia puts her hoof to her chin, surprisingly, as though thinking about it seriously.
When she sees your nervous look she laughs and lowers her hoof, still smiling as she begins to speak seriously.
"Well,
I think we have a good grasp of your personality now. You're
courageous, if a bit brash. You're willing to put yourself on the line
for her," she pauses, "I'm willing to guess that you'd support her
through good times and bad as well, if the first two statements hold
true."
Suddenly her cheeks tint red, ever so slightly, "The main
concern is whether the two of you are….compatible. But I won't inquire
about that, the medical staff can handle those kinds of concerns."
She regains her composure and looks you dead in the eye, all playfulness gone from her royal voice.
"Do you love her?"

You enter the room, a faint smell of iron mixing with the otherwise sterile environment as you get a good look at Bear.
He's
bandaged nearly from head to hoof, his entire torso and his entire
right front hoof covered in gauss, while a back leg has a cast on it and
his head is bandaged pretty heavily as well. He's nearly
unrecognizable.
"How is he?" you ask cautiously, and the doctor looks on at Bear as he answers.
"He's
showing improvement, but it's only been three days since he was brought
in. His injuries are quite extensive. His back leg is shattered in
three places, his right shoulder has a fracture, he broke 3 ribs,
punctured a lung, and has severe muscle tissue damage in most limbs. His
lung keeps filling with blood, so he's going to need another surgery."
He
shakes his head sadly, "Still, he holds on. And I have to say, if he
hadn't been brought to us while a potion was circulating in him he
would've died on the operating table."

can't be a soldier after he's fixed up, how he might not even be able to

Luna opens the romance novel and begins to read.
You sit upright

Her beautiful voice speaks slowly and softly, and soon the thoughts of the cook book are out of your mind. Mostly.
Her
voice is soothing, carrying with it the peace of a night's breeze, and
you scoff at the title of the novel once again as your eyelids begin to

Right, I said I'd post a critique, and I shall.
I
think you should perhaps do the quests a little earlier, so you can
finish the current quest without it being super late, and that way you
don't have to worry about the quality dropping too much.
As far
as the build-up goes, it has been okay, but it didn't have the same
buildup of Rarity quest. It's a little hard to explain, but the
situation we find ourselves in seems a little forced. In Rarityquest,
our relationship with Rarity was set off because we needed a suit
repair, and because we went to her for it, we were able to hit it off. I
felt more emphasis on our similarity with Luna (two being in a world
that we are out of synch with, and both at the same time trying to
understand the ways of the world) was kinda glossed over when it could
have been something to focus on and help drive us forward. Instead it
seems to have been a cursory mention. Plus, with Rarityquest, we were
able to bring Rarity along on our important trip to Canterlot and, as we
knew, she would have loved that and taking her along really got us some
brownie points. She got to live the high life and be with us. Perfect.
Celestia's
characterisation is brilliant, you've played on her chessmaster aspect
very well. However, I would have preferred a tsundere/awkward Luna who
wants to know HOW to love, but struggles with it.
As far as the
writing goes, it is fine. However, I'd use more similes to set the
scene, because it's quite flat most of the time. You emphasised and
elucidated a location quite nicely in Rarity/Pinkiequest, but you don't
seem to be doing that in this quest.
I understand the focus is
more on the subject of the quest and how that is handles more than the
actual writing itself, but it does help engage your "audience".
I hope this helps! Got any more questions, ask away.

>I
think you should perhaps do the quests a little earlier, so you can
finish the current quest without it being super late, and that way you
don't have to worry about the quality dropping too much.
Yes, this is probably going to happen since I'm finding our sessions last much longer than I initially anticipate.

I felt more emphasis on our similarity with Luna (two being in a world
that we are out of synch with, and both at the same time trying to
understand the ways of the world) was kinda glossed over when it could

Very
valid point. I'd make the excuse that I was letting you guys pursue
such dialogue, but that's not really fair. I did gloss over it, but
perhaps we can revisit the topic in the future, since the last two
sessions mostly dealt with her coming to terms about how she feels about
you and the fact that you reciprocate those feelings, although these
also need to be expounded on.
I believe part of this will
naturally happen as we shift from the general aspects of the quest and
begin to home in more on one on one time with Luna.

I'm not
certain about Tsundere, now that her sister knows about it, but awkward
is definitely planned. I apologize for not putting that in as much as I
probably should have.

Well, the "quest"
this time around takes place mostly on castle grounds, but I suppose I
need to work more on describing my environments even on smaller scenes.
I'll definitely work on this.

>Actually,
I disagree, there was whole session where she was quite OOC and blunt,
primitive. He got a bit better at the end, bu still I failed to see that
"spark" in her character which I was able to see in the show (and which
made me love this character).
Please elaborate. I know my
grasp of Celestia's character is tenuous at best and may be different
from yours, so I'd like more on this topic.

I don't remember the earlier interactions with Celestia all that well,
except when we basically came onto us with our random "lessons on bodily
contact and random pony hugs or 'How ponies randomly invade personal
space whenever they want'."
Yeah, that was a mistake on my
part. I admit to having poor planning and forethought on that. Another
case where I wrote off the top of my head without thinking as much about
it as I should have. Definitely a mistake.

While
it's true I don't want the "quests" to be too cookie-cutter in what
goes on, it was my mistake that lead to this misunderstanding in the
first place. Sorry.
And yes, I know I'm taking this a bit more
seriously than I ever initially intended, but I want to still fulfill
the initial goals of these things: Having fun, making sense, keeping
some semblance of character, and having it be entertaining along the
way. If I'm not fulfilling these things, then I really need to know so I
can fix it. I really don't want to present sub-par stuff to people who
deserve better.
>If I do ever go ahead with my own Celestiaquest, I have my work cut out for me.
I
believe it. I'm not certain I could do that one any justice anymore,
considering I said this one would be hard mode and really it's playing
out much like the others. And in theory wooing Celestia would be the
toughest, aside from the impossible like Chrysalis.
But I wish you luck on your endeavor!

Eh,
we have had a little convo about that, unfortunately, the archive were
broken at that time and I was at work so I couldn't do any screencaps of
his posts. In short, we share a similar vision on her, which is quite
rare, not just in general, but so far I haven't seen anyone who would
have such a similar to mine interpretation of her.
This cap isn't exactly related, just one of them I made back then.
Any chance for NMMxAnon quest now, btw?

I've been writing a shit load of minifics in notepad, hoping that I nail Celestia.
I'm also working on a plot, and what the fuck else. It's tough, but I want to make it like a proper quest.
At
first I want Anon to be a guy that finds ponies fucking terrifying, and
Celestia tries to bring him around. I also want to add a language
barrier into the mix, and Celestia decides to teach him the language so
he can lead a normal life in Ponyville, and through their interactions
she starts to like him and he her. Obviously, that depends on how the
questers go about things. So, I'd try to do a story tree with branching
results depending on how rolls pan out, and what routes the questers
decide to take. I'd be doing forced choices that have a big impact on
how the story pans out, and also open choices that don't affect the
story too much but do change things slightly, which I'd have to keep
note of.
I'd love to run a quest for you guys. Aspirant's quests have inspired me, so yeah.
