    celestia screaming in agony and fear as she feels herself being eaten alive is so much scarier when you remember that she was immortal mere hours ago. nothing has pierced her flesh in thousands of years and now their are hundreds of teeth ripping that flesh apart, she probably hadn't even gotten so much as an injection since before needles even existed.

    The Mare's of Diomedes, The eight labor in Hercules Twelve Labors. Man-eating Mares owned by King Diomedes of Thrace. The Mares were kept in a manger made of bronze and shackled with iron chains in the city Tirida. The Mares names are Podargos (the swift), Lampon (the shining), Xanthos (the yellow) and Deinos (the terrible). In the Twelve Labors Hercules must steal the mares to complete his labor and move on to the next. In one version after being caught trying to steal the mares Hercules overpowers Diomedes and feeds him to the horses. This cures the mares of their need for human flesh now satisfied with the blood of their former master.
    Good story, a bit too much shock value at the beginning for my taste would have liked to have seen a build up first. But It had the effect you were going for. Look forward to see more next week.

      I take pride in keeping my knowledge of history and culture sharp. I’m curious to see how much of this story will take inspiration from the Twelve Labors. Weather it just be for flavor or take actual elements of the mythology and play around with them. And FYI for those who are also in the know, Yes I know Hercules is the Roman version and not the original Greek Heracles. They are literally the same person just one has a Latin name and the other Greek. I’m saying Hercules because I think it sounds better.

    • @007eagletalon
      @007eagletalon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      You are correct Celestia mentioned that there are six sister Queens. But that is this story and not part of any version of Hercules Twelve Labors. There were only four in all versions of the story. However that does not mean we can’t speculate who the other two might be. One likely possible candidate is Bucephalus being the personal steed of Alexander The Great. A horse said to be a direct descendant of the Mares of Diomedes. Another pair of horses famous in Greek Myth are the two horses that pulled the chariot of Achilles’ a Greek hero just as famous as Hercules. The Horses names where Balius and Xanthus. Xanthus in particular was gifted the power of speech by Hera but only speaks in prophecy. Also worth noting that Xanthos is another name for Xanthus but the two shouldn’t be confused they are not the same horse in both the Twelve Labors and the Iliad they are two separate horses. But there’s enough of a connection to say it could be them. As I said depending on how much Scribbler has done her homework regarding horses from Greek Culture and history and it remains consistent with that theme going forward into the story then I would say those three are my strongest candidates for the other two.

I'm truly sorry that "No Place Like Home" and "History Repeats" were discontinued, as they were most engrossing and had potential. But I'm certainly aware of how easy it is for plans to be abandoned.
    It's most unusual for any drama or story nowadays to be set back when Twilight was a unicorn and not a princess, so I'm intrigued by that. And the villains were truly creepy and terrifying (what exactly *were* they?).

    Something about this is just how quickly it switches from another slice of life MLP story to gruesome horror. I do wish the Diomedes ponies had more substance in the story than just the inciting incident, but that's neither here nor there. The voice actors sound amazingly close to how they do in the show, while also keeping an air of liberty to their deliveries if you get what I mean. Keep up the good work Ms. Scribbler and co. Can't wait for the sequel to continue as well as a possible continuation of History Repeats. - Superman

    I don't know what I was expecting, after watching the trailer for this. It definitely was NOT this. This was beyond my wildest night-terrors, and I'm not saying this as a bad thing. I am saying this as a good thing.
    I just want to say this was... breathtaking, chills were running up and down my spine the entire time. The characterizations, the voice acting, the art, the music - everything was beautifully woven together for a truly terrifying thrill. I, for one, am eager to see what the next episode will bring! I know when the time comes I will be EATING it all up, you know~?
    Thank you and all the people who worked tirelessly- of this I am sure- on this to bring it to life!
    I am an avid consumer of all things Grimdark, I've always wanted to start taking up Grimdark readings - but unfortunately I just don't have the voice for it.
    My voice isn't something I can tell a compelling horror story with. I've never thought about putting two of my favorite things together, grimdark and audio dramas! I am hoping that I'll be able to put my hoof into the community, finally. Thank you so much for the inspiration, I'll definitely be trying to start up my own audio dramas, either for the normal MLP series, like canon divergences and grimdark. I have one Grimdark idea in mind called Glacial Gallop. I also have a few audio dramas for canon divergences and alt universe, but since I'm so new to the community, my video for three of my audio drama ideas haven't been seen yet.
