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.

Celestia 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."

She looks briefly towards the door, then back at you.

"Now, are you certain that creature had the appearance of Nightmare Moon?"

No.80626

"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."

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 from this point forward."

We have so much to learn from one another yet," she looks at the door, as though trying to look through it, "And….we care about you. Very much."

The first thing you notice are the tears in her eyes as she gets up and pushes you back into a prone position.

"D-don't get up, you need your rest!" she says.

The voice that comes from her is not her own, but one still familiar to you.

"Luna, is that you?" you ask as she begins to tremble and tears begin to stream down her cheeks, as though washing away the rosy white tone of Celestia's coat as they reveal a dark blue.

She leans forward and buries her face into your stomach, her front hooves gripping you tightly as she begins to cry softly.

You keep stroking her mane, until her awkward position gets to be too much on her and she climbs herself onto your bed, laying on you so her head rests against your chest, careful not to poke you with her horn.

She readjusts her hooves around your sides as she sniffles and her breathing steadies her eyes closed as she holds you.

Slowly her tears dry and she regains some semblance of composure.

"I…don't know what it is but, I can't stop thinking about what could have happened," she whispers meekly as she gives you a squeeze, "I…meant what I said, you know. That I…care about you."

"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.

"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."

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."

You roll yourself off the infirmary bed, stretching your arms and legs, checking to see if anything is still sore or bruised. Your right shoulder hurts a bit, but it's just superficial you decide.

You find your clothes neatly folded on a counter on the far end of the room, and put them on quickly before heading into the hall.

A nurse and doctor see you exit the room and immediately rush over to you, making you perform a small series of movement exercises so they can confirm you're doing well enough to move on your own. When they're satisfied, they direct you to the room Bear is staying in, and you walk towards it briskly, wondering just how badly Bear is injured.

The doctor and three nurses are crowded around a heavily bandaged figure, the doctor giving orders and demanding medical devices as the beeping continues.

One nurse leads a thin, transparent, plastic tube from a device in the corner of the room, leading it toward the figure's face. When they unwrap his muzzle, you recognize the fur to be the shade of Bear's.

The doctor's head is in the way, but you can guess what the tube was for when the machine it comes from begins making a whirring noise, and the tube fills with a thin smattering of blood.

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."

"But he's holding on. And as long as he has that spirit, I'm sure we can get him moving around again. It'll just take time."

"Should the operation to repair his lung be successful, he'll have months of bed rest ahead of him. After that, muscle therapy. He can pull through so long as the operation goes successfully, I'm sure of it. Still, he's going to have a lot on his mind.

The two of you laugh for a good few minutes, until tears form in the corner of Golden's eyes from laughter and he has to calm back down.

When he's finally near settled again he starts to talk.

"I overheard the nurse and doc talking about Bear last night, when they thought I wasn't listening," he looks at you with a weak smile, "These big ears aren't just for decoration, ya know."

The smile fades slowly, "I…heard about all the things wrong with him. How they think he can't be a soldier after he's fixed up, how he might not even be able to walk right again."

"Official report says it's some sort of magic leeching golem, or at least that's the theory. Not certain where it came from, though that crescent symbol might mean Nightmare Moon crafted it over a thousand years ago. Can't say for sure as Princess Luna has no memory of creating such a monster."

"Likely they're going to send a magic squad out there to scour for clues and see if there might be any more of them littered in the Everfree. With luck, they won't find anything."

You close the folder after reviewing the official statements, your vocabulary not quite enough to decipher all of it. You thank Shining Armor for summarizing for you, and he just nods.

Shining sighs, "Normally, I'd say no. Swift thinking usually saves lives, doesn't spare them. But in this case it might've been for the best."

"I don't follow."

He coughs before continuing, "It advanced towards you while firing at me, remember? This was after Golden and Bear were taken out, mostly. Well, it walked AWAY from Bear and Golden to get to you. When the damned thing finally blew, you may have put the blast radius farther away from the two most injured. Had it been closer, or worse, on top of them……"

You make a quick snack stop before dropping by the Library to grab a few books from the front shelves. Only after you start heading in the direction of the lounge area you usually meet with Luna in do you look at the books you grabbed.

One is a romance, titled "On a Gentle Evening Wind." You have no idea what the premise is, but it says it's a romance on the cover so whatever.

The other one is….a cook book. Weird, it doesn't have the images of food on the front like most cook books. Ah well, have to make do.

For once, you think that maybe that's going a little to fast for your tastes, though your imagination begins to run wild with Luna covered in whipped cream, those big eyes of hers looking at you suggestively…..

You have to physically shake your head of the thoughts, looking at Luna and saying as calm as you can, "N-no, we don't have to. Not now. H-how about we just…read that other book a little."

Luna nods, the two of you sitting on a couch some ways away from the erotic cook book, as Luna opens the romance novel and begins to read.

You sit upright against the couch, Luna half curled up against your leg while the book hovers in front of her, held in the air by her magic.

Her beautiful voice speaks slowly and softly, and soon the thoughts of the cook book are out of your mind. Mostly.

You lean over and gently kiss Luna on the head, trying not to poke yourself with her horn in the process. Perhaps she's not fully asleep yet, as she smiles and holds you a little tighter, murmuring softly in her half sleep.

You slink yourself back into a prone position, putting your arms gently around her as you feel her heartbeat against your chest. Her hair caresses your neck and arm, sending a soft feeling about your body that blends all too well with the softness and heat of the pony in your embrace.

You fall back asleep with Luna in your arms, a feeling of complete comfort and happiness ringing through your tired mind before you finally drift off.

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.

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).

No.81693

Which part was that?

If it was the earlier quest… chapters(?), then maybe you're right. 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'."

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 have been something to focus on and help drive us forward.


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.

>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.


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.

>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.


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.

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.

>>81693
> 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.

Yeah, that session especially. I do understand it was for the quest's sake, but still.

No.81719

With that lesson, I thought Celestia was going to be our "love rival" as such.

In Pinkie Quest, we had the temptations of the Spa Twins trying to keep us from Pinkie, in Rarity Quest we had Wrap Pony seemingly having a crush on, and it was implied she drugged Rarity so she could make Rarity seem boring and give her an in.

With Celestia's actions I genuinely thought Celestia was going to be our temptress, which had me excited as fuck. Because some sisterly conflict would have been interesting… and then we are in the hugely awkward quandary of having to reject a ruler of a nation so we could fuck the other ruler, meaning we risk a lot, or we risk fucking it up with Luna by fucking Celestia, to not fuck up our chances of a decent and normal life in Equestria. Wow, that was a mouthful.

No.81727

>>81719
I don't want to go into that too much.

I'll say I should've made a firmer decision on whether that was to be the case or not, and perhaps my own little adventure segment backfired by making me think on it less.

It's odd because I feel like if I bring that up now it'll seem like I'm pandering to you, and additionally it'll feel like it's weirdly out of place now that she's given you a thinly veiled go ahead with her sister.

I'll chalk that up to me messing up again. What a mess.

Don't be silly.

People are enjoying the quest a lot, so stop worrying too much.

I think I am making too many direct comparisons to your other quests. There doesn't HAVE to be a love rival in this one, I just assumed that there would be because your last two had one and Celestia seemed to be filling that role at first.

If I look at this quest as a stand-alone entity, it is fine.

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.

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.

While you can't directly influence questanon's decisions, the world can prompt a certain response if you so desire.
Since you are in charge of the world, you have many possibilities. Other characters in the quest may have obligations, those are directly controlled by you, so if you feel the need to mix things up a bit just create a world event.
Questanon hasn't even been outside in public yet, though obviously he is forbidden to leave the castle yet.
