"A hypothetical question for you, since you are more studied in the topic that any I have met lately. What becomes of a sun god without a sun?" - Celestia
“I..gotta be honest, I didn’t expect that question.”Either way, the well-read griffon would pause for a moment, considering her query over, before responding.
“The way I saw it, I would initially imagine a sun god without the sun would be powerless, unable to do their duty fully. But, I came to realize something - and this is related to you; that isn’t the case.”“Ra, a long time ago, served his purpose for the land while it was growing still. His duty was simple - bring the sun across Anugypt for the people, whilst fighting off the evil Apophis from swallowing it whole. But as time went on, as the world developed; I noticed that less and less, little knew of the Anugyptian Gods. Which is understandable, considering developing nations.”
“Let’s look at your role - you have the job of carrying the sun, and in a way, Ra is never without the sun. As long as there is but one who carries the sun, be it follower, deity, monarch or simple citizen? I feel that there will never be a sun god without the sun, if the light never dies.”
He blinked.“Does that make sense, Miss Celestia?”
