Story: The Ambassador's Son (Update Story 2 Part 12-17!)


[Adventure]

Author: Midnight Shadow
Description: A noble earth-pony family, fallen somewhat on hard times, is killed in a mining accident. They leave behind a single male heir, who is in sore need of a guardian, and of protection. Celestia takes the young pony under her wing and delivers him not to ponies - not earth, unicorn or pegasus - but to a dragon, an ambassador, an old friend of hers.

Playing a game which may just be deadly to the uninformed, the dragon decides that the one path open to him to ensure the safety of his charge and to carry out his sworn duty, is to adopt.

Story: King of Diamonds (Sequel)



[Adventure][Comedy]

Author: Midnight Shadow

Description: Lord Sapphire lays dead and Tacksworn is in ruins, but Chiphoof Irontail has come home to his adoptive father, Sharptooth the dragon. Amidst the destruction and chaos, the community and the circles of friendship within must rise again to face an uncertain future. The young scion of the Diamond Expanse Clan must now face his greatest threat as the forces of war build to a crescendo. With his friends by his side, together they will uncover forbidden mysteries and face off against ancient powers that have lain dormant for centuries.

CrealStar said...

I'm so glad this is on EqD! I've been tracking it on Fimfic, and I love this story to death. It is absolutely fantastic!

T'laren said...

*grins* this totally deserves to be here, for sure.

Wheeljack said...

I remember this project from back in the day when I still had time to lurk around ponychan.
*finaly puts it on to-read-list*

RoyalWatermelon said...

Sounds like a really good one. I thought dragons were frowned upon, but then again, it IS Celestia...

Xplayer said...

Nice to see this on EQD. Congrats Midnight Shadow!

pixelkitties said...

This sounds like a really amazing concept!

Nimbus Buster said...

Oh I like this one, its definitely a good read :D

S008 said...

Yeesh, I'm not sure I'd have gone with that picture.
I actually can't recall anything alike to this story. Different race adoption's always an interesting idea.

Octavia said...

Certainly does sound like an interesting new type of story.

And what'd you break now, Seth? lol

Gypsy said...

Kits said...

Glad you finally submitted it midnight.

Muppetz said...

This intrigues me.

Alicentaur Brony said...

This story is AWSOME. I've been reading it on FimFiction and it's just great. It really does deserve to be here on EQD. Congratulations Midnight Shadow.

ziaodo said...

i must ask, why am i reading the dragon's lines with sean connery's voice?

Throttlesky said...

Mining accident? Leaves colt without family?

Get out of my head other writers!!!!!

no really it's alright

jspang said...

Dragonheart, the best dragon movie ever made, is why. btw NEVER WATCH THE 2ND ONE!!!! IT'S EVIL!!

Midnight Shadow said...

@jspang
There is no second dragonheart movie, there is no such movie as batman and robin and there is certainly NO BAT CREDIT CARD.

Also, hope you enjoyed the story :)

Midnight Shadow said...

@Throttlesky

Sorry! I'll turn down the brony mindwave reception dial on my tin foil helmet... :D

Midnight Shadow said...

@S008

Sorry you don't like it, I do. It's miles better than what I did - the dragon's a bit lanky for what I intended, but no biggie, it's relatively canon-accurate.

Hope you enjoyed the story!

Midnight Shadow said...

@pixelkitties
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the execution too!

Alondro said...

@RoyalWatermelon Trollestia: Hee hee! I'll give the colt to a dragon! It'll be the bestest prank ever!
*later* Awww, it didn't eat him. :/ Oh well, guess I'll just turn my attentions to Twilight. >:3

(The "Rainbow Dash Presents" version of how this all goes down?) ;D

Alondro said...

@Midnight Shadow He's learned to eat gems and now he can handle fire in some small way... veeerrrrry interestink! Dah! I zink iz time for a leetle trip to ze laboratory! Und I vill undertake ze experiments! *mad scientist laugh*

Hmm... part pony and part dragon... if he has kids with the griffin, that'll give the lion and eagle talons and, viola! A draconequus! *more mad scientist cackling*

Midnight Shadow said...

@Alondro
shhh, you'll spoil thing for book 9 when his time-twin from year 3000 comes back to avert the global catastrophy!

Taterade said...

Dediles said...

five star? FIVE STAR!?!?!? this is nothing less of 6 star quality. this story is BETTER than fallout equestria in my opinion. THIS STORY HAS REPEATEDLY RESTORED MY FAITH IN BRONY KIND AND ALSO SAVES ORPHANS WITH IT'S AWESOMENESS ALONE. YOU. CAN. NOT. SAY. ANYTHING. NEGATIVE. ABOUT. THIS. MASTERPIECE.
can't wait for book two!

@Midnight Shadow

I think that's as in "Er, that combination of legs being splayed apart and hand position looks a smidge inappropriate".

Midnight Shadow said...

@Jade-Amethyst-Scales

le sigh. I guess it does to an oversexed populace, it's not supposed to.
