Note Sketch


Note here, not much to say other than I love to write. My dyslexia is a huge obstacle when it comes to that, but I still enjoy sharing my stories, especially about King Sombra, my favorite villain!

T

Beaten and torn to pieces, Sombra found himself in a black void after his attack on the Crystal Empire. There was no doubt that he was in the after life, but what he found was something more frightening than being trapped in Tartarous. He was alone. Well, almost so. In this strange realm all he could find was a unicorn and a chess board. He's nothing else to do, so why not play a few rounds of chess?

this was great

Quite an interesting take on the afterlife and reincarnation.

I wonder who else might eventually come along. The afterlife described obviously is timeless, and as such there is no sense of time passing. Logically, there'd be no sense of impatience or boredom and Starswirl could wait until Tartarus froze over for another opponent. Added to that, Sombra could step out of this timeless void into any point on the Equestrian time- stream. He might even be his own Great-great grand sire, or, dare we speculate, Twilight's son? Would he be merciful or vengeful... After all, like they say, "Revenge is a dish best served with rutabaga."

Good story. I liked it.

Oooh this is very nice *v*

I adore Sombra, the big jerk that he is, and I really enjoyed your representation of him and Starswirl.
Starswirl is such a wonderful pony and possibly the best pony you could have stuck Sombra in a void with.

revenge is best served cold because it's an icecream

He afterlife is a game that lets one choose a path, and appaerantly a chance to change fate.

Gos no, a baby tyrant Sombra, whom no one actually knows is him... embarrassing...:facehoof: Still love the story though, been funny if starswirl mentioned celestia! (her name i mean, the royal pain):twilightsmile:

This deserves a sequel!

I can see it now, a baby unicorn colt born, destined for greatness as the son of the Princess of Friendship and her husband and captain of her own personal guard.

He grows into a happy colt and one day meets another whom he can't help but feel as though he knows him...!

Great story.

Even if i hate reincarnation, basically mean that everything Sombra just did in this story and even in the show was useless.

7362380 To not repeat it.
To remember the possible good moments he actually had.

Personally i'd just rather remember no matter what.

I really enjoyed reading this, there was a curious feeling of melancholy here and I did enjoy the way two beings who would hate each other in life coming together peacefully to converse with each other.
And I would guess that Starswirl has a limited amount of authority which he was able to use to push the seemingly worthy Sombra through to reincarnation.

The ending in particular was particularly effective on me right now since just yesterday, I watched some videos that discussed Nier Automata's themes which this story reminded me of.
What I'm referring to is how Starswirl is essentially willing to sacrifice his own potential for the sake of others who he doesn't know and yet may never even come.

This was a beautifully written piece.

I don't see your point. He's being reincarnated with a blank slate. That means entirely new experiences. Repeating his past life's mistakes doesn't seem like it has a good chance of happening. Also, I think you may be confusing reincarnation with resetting.

He can't grow into a tyrant if he remembers his past life and know he don't want to become one, and take this new life as a chance to do something else. While right now, he can live a life that will lead up to it just like it did in the previous one.


But the biggest flaw of reincarnation is another matter, if in our world. Reincarnation is true, then life as a whole is absolutely useless, why care about your life it if is going to be lost and forgotten in a eternal loop? If who you are now have absolutely no meaning?
If we pemanently die at least the only life you have is meaningful since it is your only one.

The only way reincarnation can be redeemeed is if:
1-You have a set limit of reincarnations and that, at the end, you remember all past lives.
and 2-Your soul makes it so you always have the same nature and only the nurture change.
