Kira: "He's...well, I'm not sure how much sense it would make to ponies. Rosey put this mark on my tail like one of your cutie marks that's in the shape of an Ouroboros, but it's not *the* Ouroboros. He's a giant lamia. Like,
really giant. Or at least He will be, He hasn't hatched yet. Our myths say that the Sun is an egg that contains the god Ouroboros, God of the Sun, Hunger, and Rebirth, and when it's time for the end of the world, the Sun will break apart and He'll begin eating the
whole universe. The stars, the sky, the Moon, even the world itself! When he's eaten everything in the universe, He'll still be so hungry that He'll eat his own tail, but I mean how can you eat your own tail? You really can't. So, anyways, He tries to eat His own tail, but He can't, and before He can manage to do so He'll
explode!" Kira spreads her arms out and makes an explosion sound with her mouth for an enhanced effect. "He'll split apart into a million billion pieces! His scales will spread out across the universe and become new stars, the exploded parts of His body will come together and become a new world and the Moon, and He'll leave behind a glowing golden egg that will become a brand new Ouroboros, and the cycle of the world will start all over again. I know it's not the same idea as what the actual Ouroboros symbol actually represents, I don't know how the two got so different. I don't even really know for certain if Ouroboros is real or if He's just some story some lamia made up to tell their lamialings long ago. I haven't seen any evidence to say He
isn't real, though."
Silver chuckles and shakes his head at Shoal.
Silver: "Myths and legends they might be, but true they are nevertheless. If only one pony culture had tales of Windigoes, it would be easier to dismiss. But when almost every pony culture that originated from back then has same or similar tales about these creatures? Then it might be time to consider that perhaps there is at least nugget of truth to it all. Though, true or not, they are still banished from this world. If they were not, then surely we would have all frozen to death by now, what with as much hatred and suffering there has been in past few years."
