After a failed assassination attempt, Twilight summons her friends to discuss the fate of her attacker.
This story was made possible with help from my friends Blackyoshi and EmptyPlotFiller, who both helped with editing and contributing ideas. I'm very grateful to both of them and you should go check out their pages.
I'd also like to thank my test readers Nate5700 and Notowa, you were both great!
Unless Twilight de aged him, this just went into the "This is so stupid, even the canon villains thought it was stupid" catagory.
Yeah. Child soldiers are a thing. I know that. But this is pushing it me thinks :/
Will stick around to see how you have this actually play out anyway.

there is no Random or Comedy tag, so this will definitely be very interesting.
Also, remember Cozy Glow?
What an amazing story it is! I loved it. very wonderfully written and executed. Storyline is perfect and very smooth to hear it out. And the most important thing is that it doesn't have any random tags of genre which makes it more interesting to read.

decent so far
Damn, that assassin messed her up. I need to see the attempt or something.
Naw, she hurting.
Don’t tell me.
No way
I’m weak.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that this is a new form of reformation where the villian starts life over as a baby.
Whoa! I did not expect this outcome for the end of this chapter! Definitely curious as to how the little colt, if that is his true form, managed to make an attempt on Princess Twilight's life.

Aside from less than a handful of typos, this came out quite clear, easy to follow, and achieved its goal in creating a desire to figure out what may be coming next. :)
This an excellent opening, I can't wait for more!
So... Can we get a name to the assailant turned infant?
Wow. I thought this story was dead.

That....

Happened.
Awesome ending to this Awesome story
Will the ponies act more in-character than they did in The Assassination of Twilight Sparkle?
It’s ironic how the only ponies that died were his parents.
Oh yeah. Isn’t that a strategy some heroes use?
What is she talking about? If she brought him somewhere secluded no lives would have been lost.
Now thinking about it that is the least we’ve seen.
Throne Dust?
Won’t they find out the truth?
Why not?
This is bad.
Oh boy.
Before what?
Why does he have a different cutie mark?

Whoops on that one! You caught something that was ultimately cut from the story. I guess we all missed that one when we were doing the editing and reading of it, thank you for pointing that out to us.

Before his little accident, and as for his cutie mark, I've always wondered if a pony's destiny is determined from birth, or from life experiences? In this case, I went with the latter.

Which part are you talking about.
I’m pretty sure it’s determined by birth, but the latter is interesting.

The throne dust. It was an idea for a powder made by crushing shards of Queen Chrysalis' old throne that when inhaled would nullify a creature's magic, something Aegis had an immunity to. It was originally going to be part of the fight scene where Aegis would've fought Spike after using it on him and Twilight, but these ideas were ultimately cut.
That was my interpretation of it. I hope you had a fun time reading this!

I did.
If Tirek killed the guy's parents shouldn't he be mad at Tirek?
An interesting concept that's actually kind of touching at times.
