"You came into my presence, this very hour of work, to simply host a worry? A mere suspicion of actions? Do you perhaps understand what we are currently doing at the moment? Or perhaps you were too busy ignoring your current assignments to host meaningless thoughts. I'd like fair reasoning as to why you're disturbing my presence!" "As you say, I'm currently ignoring current orders given. However, I seek your ear on matters I'm finding concerning. As of recently? Things have changed a bit. I'v...

Within Canterlot Castle laid a secret chamber. A chamber used for the purpose of performing and discussing secret acts of Arcane Performance. The World of Arcane was never predictable. It was never assumed to be safe. It was always dangerous. No matter if one masters it or is considered an expert in the field. Arcane is always unsafe. The need for caution was always a priority. Therefore, a secret chamber for Arcane Performance was as safe as it could get. And the current acts going on inside th...

(?): What are thy words which my ears are deciding to hear? Are you speaking that Mama's Village is currently unavailable for approach? As if I, your Dark Lord, does not possess the power to do so? (?): My Dark Lord, it would appear that Mama and her village had run into some fortune for the time being. The Moon had decided to pour darkness close to her lands. The birthing of new creatures is currently taking place. It would be unwise to disrupt the process. As you are always aware....rebirth...

So just a fair warning. This might be a long read. I'm unsure at the moment since this is the first thing I'm typing out. I'm not sure how long this will be, but I guess we'll see. Sooo...this is actually something I've been interested in doing. I wanted to maybe write out a cool little thing on my experience with Rping as A genderbend, or more importantly Prince Artemis. It's kinda like a behind the scenes look of how I kinda go about stuff, or maybe just gives one an idea of how my brain works...

Concentration. It's the first rule of all magic users attempting any form of spectacle performance. Magic starts at the base of concentration. Wiping away the world around you, whether it be for hours, minutes, or seconds, to purely focus on what you attempt in achieving. It's at this beginning stage where no mistakes must come into being. For the most minor distraction or hesitation will only result in failure. Sadly....failure was a common pattern as of late. A small flower was straight ah...

The year of being officially 20 years of age was one of the most important moments in my life. That whole span of 365 days were the foundations of how I became what I am today. Things between me and Brother at the time had grown rather poor. We did nothing but argue to one another on topics and discussions. There wasn't one moment during this time period that I could remember not having some full out head collision with my brother. The Kingdom would soon suffer along with us too as it ended up b...

Is the act of revenge the same as gaining of form of catharsis? A way to relieve oneself of pain, anger, emotion towards a target or haunting past? Are they simply connected, like two strands of yarn intertwining? Or.....are they perhaps polar opposite spectrums. A set of spectrums where revenge is merely a stepping stone into petty regrets. Whereas true catharsis is only earned by letting go of the past, by means of doing things in the lighter side of morality. Who's to say? Perhaps both are di...

A full three months. A full three months had passed and yet I'm still finding struggles within my research. Arcane is a complicated center point. The subject itself is unique and vastly unpredictable. Therefore experiments, tests, and theories can so easily be stated as fact or thrown out the window in a matter of minutes. Why is Arcane the way that it is? Why is it so addicting yet so corrupt? Why does it aide powerful magic, yet create a unstable process of spell? Perhaps there isn't a why. Ma...

"Dammit, Dammit, Dammit! Why this?! Why did it have to end this way! Why have we gotten to this point! What mistakes have we made to have these things plays out as they have?! Me, the Second in Command, having to write in the Prince's Journal as he's being treated for major injuries! I'm forced to do nothing, but sit here and wait! Me! Miss Velvet Sweets, couldn't keep her Prince safe! How.....how did I fail...." ===================== *3 hours ago...* ...

Before the reader of this journal starts their journey into the personal dairy that is in these pages? I'd like to inform you of a few things. The daily life and expectations of a Lunar is a constant danger. Our purpose of becoming, training, and fighting is for our Kingdom. As well as for the rulers of our Kingdom. And because these things are such high importance, they are also extremely dangerous. So much so that the expectation of death is something to never ignore. Death is apparent and rap...

Part one of a breakdown of the Canon set for Artemis ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1133 years ago: Beginning of the United Era ...

"I'm not crazy! I never was! I know where I am! I know what I am! I know who I am! My name...my name...my name is Black Rose. I am...no...I was a former magician under the orders and surveillance of Nightmare Moon. I was...taken! Taken from my family in order to serve our Dark Leader! Our glorious darkness in the harmful rays of the light. I'm not crazy. Don't think my writings are fiction! What I speak is real!.......The Nightmare has fallen. Defeated. Gone. The Sun Ruler has bested him. Us. Al...

In most times of my life, I've shown to be somewhat of a poetic person. I have a belief that I always seem to stick by. The things you enjoy your life will always be available for you to experience, but will never last forever. As chapters close in on your life, new chapters are opened. A chapter of my life as ended and I'm soon going to be writing the newest the chapter going forward. And with going forward, comes the decision to leave behind what you've been enjoying. I'm leaving the site ...

"Do you know one of the best feeling in the world as I'm writing this journal entry? Having a room. A well fitted room, nothing too fancy as it's suppose to be for ponies that are traveling into the village for trade or rest. Still when me and my Lunars and some Solars had trotted our way into this late night village, we probably should've expected the reaction we got." ====================== *One Hour Earlier* ...

"I wonder if such a thing could exist. A weapon that was so pure and powerful, that it could eliminate all manner of Darkness with just the tip of the arrow. Hearing it and writing it, sounds like a work of fiction. An old tale one tells to their children to pass on legends of battles and wars. Still, if such a thing did exist? I know who the owner used to be. The Artemis Bow. A bow that was given to my Mother before my own birth. I've seen this weapon first hoof. Elegant gold at it's base and c...

The observation of a bat pony is something that will always seem interesting to me. A creature that resembles a pony, but has the survival capabilities of a bat. Ears designed for intense hearing and sound. Slick wings for fast and swift flying. Fangs for carnivores or defensive attacks. Usually dark colored for stealth to keep them from dangers in the night. Eyes created to see in the dark. All these things designed into one pony to make the ultimate survivor with the only downside being, they ...

Emptiness. Complete emptiness. A clear area of pure nothing. Nothing but clear white. Not a sound. Not a smell. Not a sight. Nothingness surrounded me. Why was I here? Wasn't I just visiting dreams a moment ago? Wasn't I just solving a pony's nightmares a few seconds ago? How did I end up here? What even was here? Everything was starting to move. Shapes and figures were appearing and being made. Grass along my hooves were appearing. Soft and comforting. A breeze was going through my mane. My sur...

"Hahaha...haha...hahaha....This has to be weird. Writing down the action of me laughing. But....How couldn't I! Finally! He took some damage! It was true! It was all true! The Bow! It was there! We got it! And we took it from Torment!...Oh my heavens...I can barely process all this. I gotta take some breathes and catch this journal up with what happened." "The Zebras have done a fine job on fixing my wings. They are wrapped and set into a sling. Both of them. Meaning, I won't be able to fly ...

Prince Artemis just couldn't take his eyes away. No matter how hard he really tried. He just couldn't understand it. How could such a beautiful creature be made with his help? A beautiful mare that is sure to grow up and take on the world. A mare that may be fierce and clever, but at the moment was sound asleep. Lilith Moon, a precious mare that is to be growing up too fast for him already. Watching her sleep seemed to bring peace to him, but also. It seemed to bring back a special memory. ==...

Seems with every glimmer of joy presented before me, the universe finds a way to remind me of the disgust I have towards a certain problem. Said problem seemed to be invading my mindscape at the moment. Such is the hardships of absorbing a Tyrant Level Arcane Spirit.  "Seems you've been busy, Artemis Luminous." The Spirit spoke towards me as he stepped forward to look eye to eye with myself.  A rather disturbing appearance this Spirit had. Dark as knight coat, with hinges of deep blue. Pierci...

"It is not a matter of discussion at the moment, Nightmare. It's not a discussion I'm willing to have in general. What you speak of? The power? The Limitless abilities we could gain? That'll only lead to targets. Targets placed on our backs. Our Kingdom's back. That is something I'm not willing to put into debate. It isn't an option I see taking place. My Future? Our Future? Isn't set in stone just yet. Hasn't been formed yet. Jumping into the area of threat will only make us the threat. We aren...

Continuation of Part 3 ------------------------ Artemis wasn't exactly sure what the correct process in collecting his current thoughts should be. So much had already happened during his path towards a mountain in the distance. A mountain in this Dark World that was said to hold a Castle at its peak. He knew in order to get there from his current path required him to cross through a forest. Something that wasn't simple on paper or in action it seemed. He had been derailed by the possibilit...

"I just....I need wisdom in my actions. I need...guidance. I know that we have a plan. He got the solution to defeat this Tyrant. To end his games. B-But....what if it isn't enough? What if we can't kill it. I don't fear my own death. But I fear dying before I can guarantee a safe future for the ones I care about..." He was frustrated. The weight on his shoulders, that is usually shared with his Brother, was more present then ever. He was sick and slowly dying. Each passing day his sickness was ...

So this is kinda in a way, a part 2 of my current writing, when it comes to talking about my current genderbend experience. I think genderbends are awesome. They leave enough background and character standpoints to start with, but leave plenty of room to flow some of your own creativity into them without ruining the character. Depending on how you go about it. What I'm going to be writing about it how I go about creating his personality or how he surrounds himself. I'm hoping to give an idea of ...

If you were to ask me if the Sun and Moon were around before the birth of the Two Princes, I'd have to say that I can't remember. Some would say that both sources of our sky were born as we were. Others would state that the Sun and Moon had at a time controlled themselves. Regardless of how you look at it, The Sun and Moon are the key factors of what made me and my brother the stallions we are. Call it luck or call it fate. We were born into this world to serve it. To provide the lights through ...

I just seemed to lay there. Laying there with nothing going on except for the continued breathing that my body was doing. Along side the breathing of my sleeping beauty that was accompanying me in my sleep. My eyes were closed, but my mind wasn't. These past weeks have pushed me towards an area of exhaustion that I wasn't sure was possible. What's funny about that tho, was that this was still only the beginning. As Prince of the Night, Future Husband, and Father? I never would have guessed that ...

In an unmarked location within the Region of Equestria laid an old temple. A temple that wasn't seen or discovered on any map of the new age. One that was hidden with ancient magics and powerful curses. This temple was one of the old ages. It's architecture of carvings and stone showing it's lush history. It's rich history decaying as each century passed. A temple that housed something of value within it. Something of worth. Something that was worth more then any amount of bit, any amount of kno...

Deep in thought. It's what the Prince was constantly doing as of late. Many nights he would be in thought. Thoughts of the present and future. Thoughts of the kingdom he's hoping to re-shape for the better. Ideas on how to improve where both him and his brother had both failed. Plans to ensure his future reign as King go on without trouble. But such a thing would be asking too much. Such a request would be hoping for too much. Nothing was going to be so simple. Even when he's recognized as King?...

Yep, this is something I haven't done in quite awhile. Me, talking about my writing habits as well as decision towards my Artemis character. This isn't a Lore Expansion or anything Just me writing (technically typing) about my character process. Figured it'd be fun. I'm in a writing mood, and I need to satisfy it. If you were looking for lore or something similar? Sorry, not here. You can go back to scrolling or whatever it is you do. Here's a fun beginning fact or piece of info. Artemis is s...

Lord Somber: "I have an interesting experiment for you to participate in, my most precious Apprentice. This test is to see if you have been taking in any of my wise teachings. For understanding how to view life correctly? It aids in understanding how to view Arcane. For Arcane is in everything we do. And seeing is one of many things we constantly do." My Master's words seemed to seek in subtly upon my body as he looked before more. Being inside the Throne Room, next to my Master was not an od...

"Gahh...dammit...dammit...dammit....I hate this stupid thing!" I was in a place of irritation. Currently myself, Prince Artemis, was overseeing the progress in the Artifacts I have taken into my care. Artifacts of ancient and powerful magics. Six Artifacts that were named to be in existence, but with a slight chance of a Seventh also existing. Such artifacts were lost to the world as time had moved on, hidden away to be forgotten about. At least that was the intention. Those weren't my intention...

??? "Ahhh! Ahh! P-Please! Please....j-just..no more. No more please. I-I have done nothing of notice....Nothing of value. I'm just a nopony! Ahhh!" ??? "It is rather sad to hear you refer to yourself as a simple nopony. Where as here? In this space? You are providing purpose. You are involved in the steps for future knowledge." My name is Arold Murk. I am a unicorn blessed in knowledge and will. Brought into this world for purpose. Gifted to this land in order to change it. I may not kno...

Lord Somber: "What is it that you see before you, my dearest apprentice?" These were the words spoken to me by my Master. Lord Somber, the Ruler of the Dark Kingdom and Master of all things Arcane. From first glance, you'd suspect yourself to be meeting the Devil. A large Alicorn with a rather darkened blue complexation. Even darker were his bat like wings and horn, which seemed almost a midnight. The same could go for the horn as well, which was the most upsetting feature, being that it rese...
