It's alright Somber, so great work with such long chapters take time, it's worth the wait. As always!

Oh dear goodness, this is just too funny... Noticed an update, so hopped in to look, saw how long the new chapter is so decided to read it tomorrow after work and instead read some of the old comments a bit. So glad I did, that comment is priceless^^
Cutting it close, Scotch...
I like that idea! Do that!
That one too! Do both! Take her stargazing, and then pounce and love her while she is distracted!
I 100% approve of this ship, and will be very cross if anything happen to break it. Unless one of them dies. Cause that kinda just happens at times.
I'm not sure how much better you were hoping this story would be, because, frankly, I think it's wonderful so far! These chapters are the highlight of my month, to be honest.
Hmmm... ancient seabed, or more recent?...
Ah, handy! ...so it's pre-war, then. Good to know.
What's that smell? Could it be... SAND SAILERS?
Key word being "mined", kid.
Huhhh... that's a peculiar way to mark the path. Perhaps they were bridge supports that were lopped off by some kind of planar megaspell?
That signpost up ahead -- your next stop: Fallout 4.
...I love this so much. Especially Majina's reaction.
Yeah, who ever heard of a primary caster with Martial Weapon Proficiency?
Oh, now you know what empathy is!
Eerie, I recently wrote up a region very much like this for a windy planet in a Star Wars game...
This is me trying to sleep with the windows open.
Sooooo loving this...
Love love love...
Guys, I think Pythia's possessed or crazy or dying or something...
It took me a second to realize these are mobile launchers.
No... binding the group together. It's what tape does.
Oooh, interesting... I was wondering about that. When the Dealer was Echo and when he was Wasteland, and how Wasteland took over so smoothly.
Ooh, ooh! Cruise missiles full of alchemical superfuel!
I will accept sand sailing as well.
Not okay, Scotch. I see we still need to have a little talk about consent.
TFW all your friends already know everything you thought you were keeping on the downlow.
Did you put that sphinx in the story just after that episode aired?
8429110
Nope. This was written a month ago.
8429157
Really? Boy I bet you were surprised when the sphinx was revealed in the show shortly thereafter.
"middle of a white field. The GWE is also mined for salt"
"middle of a white field. "The GWE is also mined for salt"?
"“Judge you?” Majina gushed with a grin. “Tell me more!”"
:D
I'm a little confused. Scotch is offering money to Skylord as payment for a debt she incurred with him, in her view, but he appears to think that exchange of money causes him to be in debt to her. Are they just thinking of the situation differently?
"Could you do be a favor and say you love me?"
"Could you do me a favor and say you love me?"?
"the ultimate cost of your stupid war paid had been reserved for"
"the ultimate cost of your stupid war had been reserved for"?
"and broke abruptly. A torso struck"
"and braked abruptly. A torso struck"?
"After a drink and a snake, they lay together"
...Snake? Did you mean "snack"? I'm not sure what else it would be.
"her hoof came back smeared with brown"
"her hoof coming back smeared with brown"?
"Like if something so so horrible you don’t want"
"Like if something is so horrible you don’t want"?
"She scooted closer and put a hoof"
"Scotch scooted closer and put a hoof"?
"She stared at her friends, who scared back at her."
"She stared at her friends, who stared back at her."?
"at even a cursory oogling. She"
"at even a cursory ogling. She"?
"They all took a drink out of the water stored in the boiler."
...Well. I guess when one's desperate, one makes due.
"as she rolled her eyes a rubbed her shoulder"
"as she rolled her eyes and rubbed her shoulder"?
"She and groaned, hiding her face in her hooves."
"She groaned, hiding her face in her hooves."?
"Well, the only time you and me are living at the same time."
Is part of that sentence missing?
"and then stepped out of the car and back to her friends"
"and then stepped out of the trailer and back to her friends"?
"as she followed Scotch in"
"as she followed Scotch out"?
"even if it isn't as good as I'd hoped"
Oh, sorry, Somber. I've been enjoying it!

"It took me a second to realize these are mobile launchers."
I was wondering for a while if their solution to getting out of here would somehow involve the still-closed one. And exactly how big their "Oh horseapples" moment would be when they opened it up and saw what was inside.
"No... binding the group together. It's what tape does."
Hah! :D
I hadn't thought of that. :)
"Ooh, ooh! Cruise missiles full of alchemical superfuel!"
Yeah. And given how ragnarok proof so many other things are, maybe even still working! Fun!
(Though I suspect that the Bone Legion would have salvaged it by now if it was.)
Oh, and at first I didn't understand you meant using the fuel to power the Express. Heh.
Found an error: “I wouldn’t,” Scotch warned, stomping on the salt. “It’s pretty thick, but in you punched through, you’d be pickled.”
Awesome chapter
Fucking finally. Pythia Tape will be a thing. This whole no sight thing is really making her emotionally vulnerable.
Finally got time to read it. Let's see... nothing heartbreaking, no deaths, characters interactions and development, advencement of shipping (one that I like at that^^ now all we need is some Skylord & Precious action...)... ah, everything I love in a chapter^^
Also, I hope someday when somebody crossed this desert without the insurance and somehow manages to get the coal, they will remember to write under Bones' message "SUCKERS!" or something I honestly expected Skylord to do that should they managed to get it, but, sadly they didn't :/
Great chapter as always^^ Can't wait for another
I read this on patreon and have just been waiting for it to come out here so i could say this
THANK YOU SOMBER! I FUCKING CALLED IT FROM CHAPTER 5. PYTHTAPE IS FINALLY HAPPENING! MY GOD SOMBER I LOVE YOU! THIS CHAPTER MADE MY DREAMS COME TRUE!
Now that ive got that out of my system, awesome chapter! One question tho. The Sphynx. Is that just a coincidence? Like there was literally just an ep with a sphynx in it or did you take insperation? Honest question and i just want to know. Any way, love ya man, say hi to the team for me!
Well, it's every bit as good as I hoped it would be. Maybe even better!
Hot damn, I don't know why, but anytime this updates, it feels like it takes forever to read but I don't care! It's goooood shit, good shit Loving how this is going, nicely done!
Pythia and Scotch, sitting in a tree! ... or well, somewhere else.
Probably not if Pythia has anything to say about it
Oh well, we'll see.
So, just a few steps from where they all nearly died was the end of their current objective. Fancy that.
I can't even imagine how painful that much salt on one has to be - I feel terrible after less than a day just from sweat itself. That must've been agonizing.
Ah well, Scotch and her friends made it! Kinda. No telling what will happen to them now since they really can't speak for themselves, and aren't able to defend themselves either. Quite the predicament.
Then again, the zebras Scotch saw didn't shoot on sight, so it probably isn't that bad.
Probably.
8428927
I don't think I want to know what happens when you try to use that in a boiler for a steam engine. 0_0
Love it!
8439575
Needs must when the Devil drives... your steam tractor.
Honestly, I have no idea how well it would work. You'd probably have to squirt it in with an eyedropper, or maybe soak the coal in it.
8439622
The latter, certainly. I can't picture beaks being good at drinking milk. (Actually raptors generally don't regurgitate for their chicks -- they just bring a kill back to the nest and rip off itty-bitty bits for the babies to eat. It's really kind of adorable.) Egg-laying makes sense too -- flying is such a high-energy activity, you can't afford to be lugging around a baby for months and months. (Pegasi cheat, cuz there's no way those wings can support that body in the first place. Magic shenanigans.)
8441131
I could see Majina having some stories about zebras who tried to treat alchemy as though it were chemistry... Making it a real last resort kind of thing. On which note and very topically, "It's not the Mane Thing About You" would likely fall among the very happiest ones. :P
Somber, quit saying your stuff is bad dude. This is some good writing. Loving the Empty, loving the Dealer, loving the character development, gushing over Pythia Tape, and dieing for some more of all of it. You should write more of it. You need to write more of it. I need you to write more of it! Please write more of it! Sweet Celestia please write more of it!
Oh no... I'm caught up...noooooo!
Lol
All joking aside I am in love with this story. It has rekindled my interest in foe stories. Now i am off to find mor to fill the gap. Thank you for that
Isn't... Isn't as good... HA. Isn't as good as you hoped my ass! Look at all these people sayings it's good. This story is fucking amazing and when I saw this chapter out I couldn't help but squee with glee.
This story is so good I can't put into words how much I love it.
Scotch's card gave me shivers. What a badass card. And the Dealer's Shadow? What a fucking cool bad guy!
I want these chapters never to end and remember that I am eternally grateful for your writing and all of the people who are able to sponsor you and keep it up.
Really, to everyone that puts bits in the bit jar, thank you.
-Yogi
Don't under sell your shit. This story is awesome. I spent a good two weeks reading this on and off between loads around the country. Same as I did with Project Horizons. I know I'm gonna get yelled at by someone for this, but I actually enjoyed FoE:PH and this story better than the original by Kkat. That is my honest opinion and I am always looking for this to update. Especially while having to sit at a truck stop, or customer bored out of my mind. I am excited for the next installment, but until then I'm gonna go get some other reading done and keep an eye out for the update e-mail for the next chapter. Good luck and pony on!
Its interesting how many warnings Asheput gave about the Empty and Ossius. But is that a sign of actually caring or simple practicality?
I mean, having your victims die on your front porch brings all kinds of potential incriminating possibilities. But having them die out in the Empty puts your victims out of sight and mind until your next victims are to far out to do anything about it.
You used the word pyromancy correctly. It brings tears to my eyes.
Well, I guess I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of people that tell you this story is great. Don't sell yourself short, as someone else already said. I understand the urge, believe me, never being satisfied with your work and wanting to apologise for it is a curse a lot of writers have. I can firmly tell you that this story is shaping up wonderfully and I'm extremely glad I finally got around to reading it. Take it from someone who reads a LOT of literature. Horizons is in my top two stories on this entire site, and the only reason I don't call it my favorite is because the original FO:E inspired it, as well as so many more. This story's already in my top five.
You do wonderful work, Somber. Your characters are interesting and robust, and you actually manage to keep me guessing as to what twists and turns your plot will take. That's a feat that few stories can claim, and it makes my mad little bouts of theory crafting inestimably satisfying. I love the world you work in, Somber, and your efforts are making it bigger and more interesting to wander in every time you drop a chapter. Don't get so down on yourself. You're doing it right
I have a question.
Maybe I just don't remember, but when did Scotch see two Dealers?
Do I need to reread PH?
You're killing it. Don't get down on yourself, this is every bit as worthy a sequel as I'd hoped. Keep up the good work!
How long would you say we have until the end of the story? (Not that I am looking forward to that!)
Damn... this one is just as impressive as Horizons. Thank you for your work in this story. It is goo, in my opinion, and that of several spirits that flock to me. (I ain't tellin' who dey are, eethah...)
Pythia is a qt. Wonder if she will try doing "normal" things more often, after the experience of not seeing the future for a while.

I remember that Scoth had mentioned seeing the dealer in PH, but I believe the second Dealer was introduced in this story.
8528019
I remember her seeing one in PH, and this one here. But the way I read it, it sounds like she saw two of them at the same time in PH
8528040
I don't think that that particular scene occurred in PH. Scotch mentioned later to Blackjack that she saw the Dealer, but was probably too afraid, or didn't really believe she saw it, to talk about the second Dealer. The scene seems to have been created in this work as a flashback for continuity's sake. So, no, the second Dealer didn't exist in the original PH.
8528359
See that's where I got a bit confused. :)
Anybody else imagining undead mummified legionnaires now?
they just said they deal in necromancy.
I don't care what your artillery suffers, but in the middle of a giant dead desert possibly full with undead? Yeah. I can see that becoming a problem real fast.
Not as good as you would have hoped? Not only is it a great story but this was a very good chapter. Your story are so much better then you think somber.
they probably will eventually cross on hoof through either another mud swamp or probably a slime pit with slime that takes soap to wash off and will spend awhile walking around completely coated in mud or slime
Well I wasn't expecting you to keep writing in this universe, but I'm glad you did.

Actually Project Horizons has two sequels. There is this one as well as one called Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons - Speak by Heartshine. Somber is working along side that author to make the story awesome and so far, it is fantastic!
Hey Somber. Can we get that chapter 17 on fimfiction please. I know your busy so please don't rush, I just saw it on patreon and I can't wait to read the next chapter! :)
8545137
It's up now. Sorry for the wait.
Answer: A fresh corpse and I don't need to play 20 questions.
They could've shot Asheput and paid the toll instantly. It would've been poor form, but you know, details!
Mobile BaleFire Missile Launcher-003.
Don't you dare, Somber. Don't you dare make another plot device come back from 40 chapters ago. I see this thing in an ocean of seer-blocked nothingness, and I see futures of fire and brimstone falling from the heavens without anyone knowing where it comes from. No. Bad Somber. Bad.

damn, someone beat me.
Zebraland looks huge and pointless like USSR did. You know what this flat looks like? Aral sea flat. Sea shrinked leaving behind ports and towns in mid of salty nowhere. There was a military base, former base of missile boats somewhere in there.
i guess my military and IT-related background give me easy way to see meaning in that stuff.
Whoo, that was intense! I was really wondering how they were gonna get out of there after the Bones betrayed them and the coal ran out!
I really like the Zebralands Somber, it's a good continuation. I hope the next chapter comes soon, I've just read FoE, PH and this story all in a row. I'm not sure what I'll do with myself! Maybe move onto Speak. Anyway, great stories!
