Do you have loyal medics in Celestia prison? She is very cunning and could fake to be ill just to escape

"Don't you worry about Celestia escaping, she knows the consequences of such actions. Plus, faking ill gets you nowhere when you are under house arrest, which she technically is."

[delightfullyevil]

have you heard of a plant called poison joke... if so what do you think it would do to you?

"Oh yes, it's a frequent pest here in the Everfree. The only reason we haven't cleared it out is it's a nice deterrent for unwanted and unfamiliar visitors to the forest." She waved it off, an evident distaste for the flower. "As for what they'd do to me... probably turn my coat pink or something dumb like that."

[delightfullyevil]

Could you consider yourself Luna or independent of her? If hypothetically the elements of harmony managed to hit you and after the rainbow lights disappear there is only a little Luna asking forgiveness to her big sister... Could that mean you are 'killed'?

"...y-yes? No? I'm not too sure myself..." She looked confused, but not at the question, it was inherent confusion. "Like I said before, I am Luna but Luna is not me. But from what I have read there is no way to restore a broken soul, only replace the pieces woth something else. So technically if they got rid of my darkness this version of me will be gone. I guess the best way to put it is Luna and I are just two different versions of... ourself..."

My queen Did you know There was a religion the worship you nightmare moon it's called the new lunar religion

"Of course I know about my supporters, I know about those who disapprove too. Knowledge is power, as they say. I have like to keep tabs on these kinds of things." She answered sweetly, making it sound like an innocent deed.

[delightfullyevil]

Wait...what if the part of you missing was put into the sword, or another object, like the Lich King. Or maybe the part of your soul became a new person, or fused with another person. If its in another person, my guess is its in Celestia, cause that's how life is at times

"I know the ritual to make a sentient sword well enough to know where my soul went. The knowledge I lost was what replaced that piece of my soul. But after some thinking, I've got it... I think." She goes to open a scroll that had some stuff scribbled and jotted down.

"That cave was inhabited by what's called Living Darkness. A step up from what Noxus was as a shadow wraith. While it doesn't technically have a soul... it works similar enough to one that it can be used to repair or replace a soul. Which means I am part Living Darkness, so in theory I can learn their powers and harness it. That also explains my sudden predatorness, Living Darkness feeds on wearing travelers trying to escape storms or find shelter fir the night."

[delightfullyevil]

...okay, finished reading and I have some theory's Either A. your Noxos, and if so your the best pet anyone could ask for B. Noxos was used as a energy source for the sword, and Luna cut her soul and rearranged it so her subconscious and conscious switched (think shadows from the persona series only without the yellow eyes) Or C. Luna and Noxos fused to become you?

"The only one that sounds too far off would be theory A... hmm" She looked like she was thinking this over herself, as if she didn't actually know the answer. "I have figured out enough to know that Noxus is now the blade. A sapient sword is often required for such a ritual. That was the first sacrifice made... killing Noxus and absorbing him into the blade. So I cannot be Noxus..."

Her horn lit up as she pulled a book from her bookcase, the title was unseen. "Souls are... complicated. A pony is not complete if their soul is not complete. There are ways to replace lost parts of your soul but none to fully fix it. The issue is, since you are your soul, and your memories are a part of what makes you... you..." Clear hesitance was in her voice, as if she was choosing her words carefully.

"I can't remember what the ritual does exactly. That was cut from my memory during the ritual. I know I am Luna... but not entirely. I know that the part of the soul taken by Noxus had to be replaced. Noxus is a living shadow, he has no soul, so he couldn't have given me part of him. So what replaced my missing piece?"

[delightfullyevil]

...i know imma lose all of my preserved intelligence for this, but what does the prince from Final Fantasy 15 have to do with this? Also, would you ever accept Luna wanting to return, though in this case maybe wanting to try facing the world again with out the mask?

She sighs... "You're right... I gave you too much credit. Read. Figure it out."

The sad part is Noxus isn't even a final fantasy reference.

"As for the somewhat intelligent part of the question. It's not a mask, reading that will shed some more light on why it's not. When you sever your soul, it's gone. If it were a mask, removing it would mean death for me."

[delightfullyevil]

Who is the 'special' recruiter to get the more interesting jobs than just basic guard duty?

"They aren't very special if you know who they are. Sorry, but their identity is too valuable when it's hidden. All you need to know is that we know you. We know you want to join the more elite groups, so we'll approach you."

[delightfullyevil]

Have you ever considered that Luna, where ever she may be, made you out of an attempt to protect her from a world she saw as at best uncaring to her, and at worst hostile?

The dark alicorn claps her hooves together slowly, a mix between a bored stare and a knowing smirk, making the slow clap clearly sarcastic. "Congratulations. One of you finally read it all and put the pieces together. It took longer than I expected..."

Her expression turned sour, losing the smirk.

"Protection is a useable word here... but not the best fitting one. To put it simply, when the world turns it's back on you, the only proper response is to turn your back on it. Darkness represents the unknown, to master dark magic is an affront to knowledge itself. Using it to surpass is uncharted waters, like a refugee leaving their home behind.

Luna is me, but I am not entirely Luna. I can't be. My soul too different. It was severed, and the resulting missing piece was replaced. What exactly that means, will be for you to figure out. The pieces are there, keep putting them together. I'll give you a little hint, how does Noxus play into this?"

[delightfullyevil]

"How are the defenses on the castle lately? Need me to buff them up at all, my queen? I could add a few more geese."

"Oh they are going great! Don't you worry your pretty little head Shining Armor." She answers, blatantly condescending. "Go play with your little empire of crystal, it needs your attention more."

[delightfullyevil]

Is true the rumor that not many things changed from a thousand years ago except Celestia making everyone more soft?

"Celestia is just soft in general." She scoffs at that. Though there is something to be said that Celestia was to the warm, cozy summer day; what Moon was to the cold, harsh winter night. "Much changed towards that end. Though if you are asking if she demilitarized Equestria, no. Despite evidence otherwise, she is not that stupid."

[delightfullyevil]

What made you decide for a diadem instead of using a crown like a certain changeling queen? It look good on you but is a little curiosity

"I think it just looks cuter than a crown. Being cute makes me less intimidating, which can be important." A simple answer for a simple reason, in her eyes.

[delightfullyevil]

Hey, how encouraged is free speech and fantasy (stories that inspire while giving the readers an escape from the world) in the kingdom?

"Everyone is free to speak freely about what they wish. But with that freedom comes my right to freely decide if your opinion is wrong and take away your freedom to speak freely. So I suggest you freely speak correctly if you want to stay free." She opened her eyes and looked at you with warm smile, giggling innocently. "You are free to interpret that how you wish."

[delightfullyevil]

So... We can guess that Celestia was always evil with you, she never cared or tried to be a good big sister for you, never tried to help you, she never sacrificed anything for you nor tried to make you happy and smile and always tortured you? There is not any happy memory of you and your sister you can remember?

"Hey, what?! When did this become an intervention group? G-get that crap out of here!" Oh my goodness stop ruining her edgey, self told, non verifiable backstory with your logical but invasive questions!

[delightfullyevil]

It sound a little stupid but... Could Celestia get out using a spoon to make a tunnel? You commented how the castle was protected and any exit warded, but a spoon is not magical and she in theory have all the time of the world to make a tunnel.

"That sounds more than just a little stupid..." She had no idea what else to say...

[delightfullyevil]

Queen Nightmare, Celestia still have hope for her 'little ponies' that is why even while you have the city she is not as broken, but her previous student Sunset Shimmer rumor is that ir was like a daughter for her, surely even you have some favorite pony or soldier between everyone, right?

"My favorite ponies are those who do their job, and do it well." There was a bit of coldness to her tone. "The good part about that is when one... has to go, it only hurts until I can find a replacement. And who knows, that replacement could be even better!"

[delightfullyevil]

Have you considered a school for magic like Celestia had? But probably a lot cooler and more magical.

"I... have... considered it. Though it wouldn't be too similar to her's. I was more thinking stuff along the lines of an entire academy dedicated to magic." She mused over, rethinking it out in her head as she speaks. "It will be a regular, high end magic school... just one that feeds the really gifted students into my direct service."
