-‘’It’s not our job to know why, just to die.’’ ...not sure why, but the sentence, coming from ‘random Soldier X’, made me think of this ?
>you’re part of the greatest weapon in the world, the ‘Elements of Harmony’. I will not allow my enemies to possess a weapon of that caliber.”
-Apparently he didn’t got the memo that the Elements of Harmony were a *defensive* weapon, if we can call it a ‘weapon’.
>The Ponies have always been our enemies; some are just too foolish to see it.”
-Ah, I see. The classic ‘ ‘’ass/bad’’ prince that manage to access the throne in a bloodshed, and has overly-militaristic ambitions ’ ?
>“Torturer…” the golden furred king said, “begin with the little one.
-Mmh, ok... Let’s me see the ‘grimdark’ tag... wait ? There is none ? How straaaange... -_-
---
>His side twinged at the memory of the burning wave of rainbow energy that had almost ended his existence for a second time.
> “I suppose I will need a new name,” >“Nightmare Moon somehow doesn’t seem appropriate.”
-Heeeeee... wait, what now ? I’m in *total* confusion, right now ?
Is the ‘Entity’ that was ‘Nightmare Moon’, and then just ‘Nightmare’ was a ‘’male’’ ? Is it the same ‘Entity’ ? Is it Tirak ? ‘’almost’’ and ‘’a second time’’ ?
This section certainly couldn’t have been introduced in a more confusing manner ?
>“I don’t seem to recall you objecting before,” the stallion taunted the reflection
-Ahhh... huh... hummm... Something-something what apparently(?) was left of ‘evil Entity’ and ‘forgot-his-name-Super Pony’ ? Something evil possession... being tricked ? ...previous story, maybe ?
---
>“Oh yes. You thought that would give you some power over me.
>To hunt up this relic… and Equestria yielded its treasure to you
>Now it’s in ME, and unlike a foal like you, I know how to use it. I know how to corrupt it.”
-Soooo... it wasn’t Tirak/resurrected Tirak/ancestor that took the Orb of Sacrifice ? It was just Ultra-Dumb Pony ?
But, wait ? The ‘Entity’ just said ‘Ultra-dumb’ took the Orb hopping it would help him control the ‘Entity’ ? ...that mean he already knew the ‘Entity’ hadn’t been destroyed AND knew where ‘It’ was located ?
How ? (I mean, not even the Princesses knew.)

It was... huh... interesting. But, also surprisingly confusing near the end ?
-Might have been slightly influenced, also, by the ''red shirts'' of Star Trek. Maybe. But, probably for the most part, related to the ways of ancient armies and the average militaristic cliché ?
>Interesting. I TOLD you I'd manage to piss you off somehow, looks like I did.
-Confused = ''Pissed off'', for you ? Weird... Also, I wouldn't get joy or be content from that sort of things, if I were you. not a good path to follow ; But, then again, you do whatever you want...
Nope, he didn't get that memo, and it comes into play in later chapters.
No grimdark. If he'd actually done it, then I would have labelled it such. This is, admittedly, one of the darker chapters.
Interesting. I TOLD you I'd manage to piss you off somehow, looks like I did. Okay, simple sorting. "The Nightmare" as an alicorn before was known as Nightmare Moon, and just 'the Nightmare" as an Imp. In absorbing Ultrapony (remember the epilogue of Book 1?) it turned the entity male, which was a new experience for him. Thus he looked for a new name...
Yah, figured most readers would figure up Ultrapony had found it. No I don't go into HOW he found it... not for a long time. As for how he found Nightmare... he was waiting for Nightmare at the end of last Book, so he obviously figured something out, or at least guessed it successfully.

About military through the ages :

No, I don't take joy in it. I was trying to be funny, apparently it didn't come out as I intended. (Curse you interwebs! Curse you!!

Because, well, you never can fully know what the other wanted or tried to say.
I believe that is all.
Pretty exciting so far. Looking forward to the next chapter. ^_^

Still, they both seem pretty formidable for our heroes.
