getting ready for dinner with buckshot, and having dinner with the n.l.r, part 2

If she had just waited and listened to reason from Luna things may be different, yes I do know all about the fact that the eqng claimed that she was killed by Luna herself leading her in to a trap, but the truth of the matter is this. Trixie was already fucked up in the head she had many successes on the battle field and she was getting cocky thinking she was untouchable by any pony, a tragic mistake on her part. Luna even told her that it would be suicide for her to enter Ponyville but she was all hopped up on these new things called party time mentals, some new drug that made one think they were indeed Celestia’s gift to the world. When in reality they acted out of pure impulse sure they gave her a gifted tounge to be able to talk Gilda and her air wing to join the battle but that was all it did, there was no advantage to be had and even Gilda knew this. It was the final acts of a desperate pony with no way out of her own nightmare and in the end it killed her."

If the first war made no since before, it sure as a bucket of manure made no since now, what we had all just been told made us think long and hard about just what we in fact were all fighting for and gathering Intel on. Why had it come down to Trixie being the one to enter Ponyville when in fact Gilda had an absolute legitimate reason to go without having to be talked into it by Trixie unless that was Gilda's plan all along, in which case Luna who for the longest time had been looked at even by us as a traitor and a ruler hell bent on her own ends would have to be exonerated by all of us for false accusations of murdering Trixie. Something that did not sit well with some in my group, but as they took the time to put things together they too would have to face facts, the n.l.r who by all accounts was in fact the true enemy of our land was in fact turning out to be a saving grace in a lot of ways, and it made each of us grow a bit un comfortable in Celestia who in deed had started the end of the first war by first condemning Trixie to death, and then putting a ban on any and all e.l.f communications throughout the land except those deemed worthy of being played something that we all had taken notice of in the first war in the end days of it.

"That makes perfect since, I mean think about it, makes since that the griffons’ wouldn’t like ponies after the first war if you look at it this way. Look Trixie talked Gilda into going in to Ponyville right? and in the end they both died, but the only one who didn't want to go in to the place was being talked into it by a pony and she had no choice in the matter, therefore when Gilda was killed at the hooves of Major Read the griffons must have taken it as a sign that Celestia had given the order, thus creating what Celestia wanted all along. War not just a war that pitted ponies against ponies, but minds against minds if things had even gone a fraction of the way differently Luna would be put on trial for war crimes and Celestia who would have a chance to save her little sister wouldn’t do it, we all know this her hooves would be tied and sole rule of Equestria would go to her and her alone due to laws that were already in place even before any of this happened. It is a scary thought I know, but it makes since, why is it that Luna was the only one with a plan of action when all of this started and Celestia just allowed her sister to put it all together while sitting back and not raising a hoof to help her? She knew the laws where as Luna didn’t and she was letting Luna dig herself a grave for if it had leaked that Luna was holding meetings with Trixie during the war it would have resulted in Luna's death for being a traitor, even if it was to try to stop things from getting worse which we all knew it would when Manehatten was nuked. I was in the e.l.f with Trixie that night, I knew just what was waiting in the town ahead of us but said nothing to her Luna had told me not to but to allow her to make her own choices knowing that she was so fucked up in the head there was nothing she could have said to her at that point so she let it play out the way it did.

I was one of the very first n.l.r ponies there was a meeting soon after the deaths of Trixie and Gilda to announce the birth of the n.l.r and to discuss all that had happened just as the major was being rushed to the Ponyville hospital we were gathering our dead and wounded, I saw the death and destruction first hoof. I vowed to follow Luna to the depths of hell if need be to overthrow Celestia and her cold calculating ways for it had in fact been Celestia who had made the order in the first place by giving them to the commander of the eqng, had she not done that Trixies death would have simply been a fault of war and her stupidity, but Celestia was cold in her order and had the commander not only have the order turned into an actual military order but had the commander give the order to a pony he knew would execute it no questions asked thus sealing Trixies fate and making any interaction between Luna and her a war crime. Celestia knew about the meetings but chose not to say a word until the end of the war, which is why Luna seemed a bit disheveled at the ceremonies in Ponyville marking the end of the war. They had gotten into a heated argument in which Celestia basically banished Luna from the castle for about a week. During that week the n.l.r had a series of meetings and that is where Blood Flank comes into the picture. As mad at Celestia that Luna was she was still her sister and she had no ill will towards her, what she had done was wrong she knew it but at the same time Celestia had seen that Luna was in fact trying to bring an end to things and just needed a cool off period, or so Luna thought."

Needless to say there really was no eating going on, and we all were looking at each other in shock. The first war in deed was not over, the 2 years was the time it took for the n.l.r to gather the strength it needed to be able to put into action just what it was formed to do, and that was to not only overthrow Celestia, but to possibly kill her. It sadly made since though and I could see Grey Hoof fumbling with his n.c.e patch on his uniform almost trying to rip it off, I was in complete shock and asked Black Widow if I could talk to her outside where I found out the horrid truth. "He's not lying, I can read minds and he is not lying there isn't a hint of deception in his head in fact looking at him there isn’t a hint of it anywhere around him, let’s just go back inside he was going to talk about Blood Flank anyways I really would like to hear this."
