A mysterious pony has appeared in Equestria and nopony knows exactly what he wants. Can Shade uncover what his plans are before it's to late.

This story will be told in a different way its kinda like a chose your on adventure with no going back. I will, based on the decisions made by the readers, flesh Shade out as an Original character as the story continues. Now the readers can chose who to interrogate, where to go, and what evidence to go over. Because of this don't expect 1,000 word chapters.The file with info will be filled out as more is added to it so be sure to check it if you are stumped. Also if you mention a background pony who I will most likely have no idea how to characterize Be sure to have a link ready for me in case I ask for one. No OC except from this story.

Bold words are said with emphasis.
Italics are thought.
Rating subject to change.

Writing the plot as i write the story so don't expect daily updates. Or absence of plot holes, point those out so I can fix them.
Criticism Welcome!!!! As this is my first story ever.

Of course it always seems so in Ponyville but things always happen to make this place the center of national news and as the train from Canterlot came into the station, the site of an investigation that will lead to many discoveries about how the mind of a monster works. This story will follow the investigation of a character known as Galvian, lead by Luna's head of Intel, Shade. Now before she comes off the train and you start to follow this Earth Pony on her investigation to find and capture the creature known as Galvian. Remember this, the only clues you have are the ;Interrogation before he escaped, Almost empty file, and Luna's insistence that Shade get help from others and try not to be such a lone wolf. Here comes our investigator trotting down the meager amount of steps to get off the train. Now she can come up with her own conclusions, your only job is to point her in the right direction. Lets Start this case.

Authors Notes: Welcome to the authors notes this is where I will put hints and cry about things so if you don't want to feel cheated don't read them.

Letter 1-Luna

Dear, Shade

After conversing lengthly with our sister we have come to the conclusion that thee shalt be the one to undertake the investigation as per thous request. All evidence so far has even us ,how do they say “Hitting the wall.”, he seems to have found a way evade even our detection. The only help we can give thou is that he was seen in Ponyville not even two days ago by mine sisters protagee. That would seem to be the best place to look. You are more than likely going to need help on this case so try to not be so stubborn and accept help where thou finds it.

P.S- We heard the interrogation recording and it sounds like thou has good reason to find this criminal but remember to not lose your self to anger as he did not lie once during the questioning. Thou learns to hear the truth after so many years of being co-ruler. Take care for even we are quite wary of this new foe.

Sincerely, Luna Princess of the Moon

Authors Note: If only Shade could find a way to respond quickly and keep Luna up to date on her progress. First time writing in ye olde post any corrections in comments please.
