Where the fuck did this come from!?
Its not bad at all. I especially liked the method you used to split the dialogue to make Sombra seem like he struggled to even think.
Well I'll be damned, you actually gave Sombra some character beyond his crystal fetish! Nicely done D.
Very well done. I like it.
Wait.. was he Starswirl?
3073747 ...Is that supposed to be a good thing?
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.

I have and I plan to. I've got two stories on there already and this'll hopefully be my third.
3079496 Just surprised me is all, usually Danny gives a heads up about a story a while before publishing it, and then this thing shoots out of my notification box and assaults my eyes. So yeah, it's pretty good.
3079590 ...How do I do this "notification" thing?

God fucking dammit. It never fails, ever: I am always crying at the end of these sad tagged stories.
Holy shit. This one was pretty damn good.

Nicely said!
3214425 There's always his horn.
I want it to be used like the Ring of Power from LotR for an episode saga.
Also, I guess from then on there'd be ghost-stories of that train-car. Aaand that the spirit of King Sombraaaa stiiiil haunts it to this daaaaaaay~!!! Ooooooooooo!
Well, this story takes a pretty different approach from mine, that's for sure. I think it's clearly a better work, but different. I enjoyed "rooting" for Sombra to make it back to ponies, and I liked seeing Twilight's reaction. I also found it interesting that you incorporated Starswirl into things--after all, we did "recently" learn he wasn't much for friendship.
Nice job!

Thanks!
Easily one of the better fics involving Sombra I've read. I felt for him in his last moments, but he remained solidly a villain without undergoing the cheesy redemption that so many stories seem driven to do. Bravo sir.
nice. very nice. almost impeccable. im not an expert, yet i would say this was a successful death scene. really fucks with what the mane six would do afterward, in response to it. there is resolution to be made there, in the sense that perhaps sombra should have told them his name, and if he had, maybe there would have been an after death bit- maybe a few sleepless nights on their part. and even if he had told them his name, Rainbow will have to live with her suspicions forever. strange that they happened to be on the train right then, too, but whos asking those questions, right?
*sigh*. i dont know. i had a really bad day today, and maybe im just pissy, and maybe im just nitpicky. but really good story elaborating on a headcanon of why, perhaps sombra should work as a villain or no, you still cancelled human. and im still upset at you.
This was just great!
Again with the fantastic one-shots! So much here, in these short 4,000 words.

This is utterly fantastic. As a huge Sombra fan, I refuse to believe he died, but if there was ever a death scene I was willing to accept for the King of Shadows, it would be this one.
You are so right, 4657942 , sir! And so beautifully done, DannyJ! The description of his form, the thoughts of his past, the implication of who he might have been when he thought better of it in talking to the Mane 6. Giving Sombra a realistic characterization without being a goofy, campy parody of villany for villany's sake seems beyond many's reach, but YOU accomplish it so well. I am so glad - and a bit teary-eyed - that I found this amazing piece. Well, WELL DONE!
The purpose of the name Sombra used is kind of ironic now that a new character has popped up
9475642
As I recall, it was actually a fairly popular name for OCs before season five. I also worked with a friend of mine on a story where the protagonist was a stallion named Starlight, and we were far from the only ones with a character named that.

Yup
This is an awesome read I just read!
