This story is a sequel to The Sun in Flight


Their fellowship now without its leader, the remaining Mane Seven debate what to do, and Pinkie Pie sings a song.

Lore note: Vingol is the Homestrian (human Equestria) ethnic group roughly equivalent to the pegasi across the mirror.

Fascinating, but frustratingly cryptic.

Oh, I'm three sequels deep. :derpytongue2: Well, I've got some catching up to do. Looking forward to getting context to this. Though it really isn't a self-contained story in its own right.

Oops. My thought was that in some series, there are stories that aren't necessarily self-contained but are instead part of a larger whole. Do you think that this would serve better as a chapter in said larger whole, or is the current structure passable?

The big problem is that all of the issues it alludes to are neither clearly identified or resolved in this story. This is an interlude in a larger tale. It would definitely benefit from more, but it... doesn't not work as is.

Basically, people just need to pay attention to that sequel rider. Unlike me. :twilightsheepish:

Ok, is it me or does this just seems random?

I would like to state, in crucifixion, nails through the hands doesn’t work very well. Typically the nails would be driven through the wrist. The misunderstanding comes from the Greek word “χείρ“ which is often translated as hand but really means everything below the elbow.

Thanks for the clarification, though I almost hesitate to ask how you know. Fascinating tip about the Greek translation, though; thank you.

It was from an A&E documentary on the Shroud of Turin WAY back in the Nineties. The hands cannot hold the weight of the body by a nail through them. The nails will end up being ripped out through between the fingers.

Also a note, there are historical accounts of people surviving Crucifixion, as it could take hours or even days before the victim died.

And the clean hole through the center of it, large enough for a nail to go through, the flesh around it drained of blood.

Oh fyay oh fyay oh fyaying fyay.

So the incarnation of Laughter is singing songs of Sorrow and bearing the marks of Suffering? That's ominous...
