-The rope itself was long, and its free end had been tied into a noose. Nexus had measured the rope himself. Once a pony was pushed off the platform, they would fall almost all the way to the ground. Yet, just before their hooves would reach the ground below the gatehouse, the rope would snap taut. The victim would be dead almost instantly but, more importantly, they would hang in clear view of the ponies watching below.

There's a HD version of this image but unfortunately, my internet times out every time I try to upload it. I'll upload it when I'm at school.

Fun fact:

In Britain, as late as 1832, 220 separate crimes, including poaching and picking pockets, were punishable by death. Hangings were public cautionary spectacles and were covered by the newspapers. There are accounts of executioners—sometimes family and friends—pulling on the legs of young boys who were not heavy enough to be successfully hanged in order to add sufficient weight to strangle them.

This pic is beyond amazing. If all the chapter covers look like this I might just die from the combined awesomeness.

That's said I sort of feel her eyes should be closed. It's been awhile since I read Past Sins, and as of now I'm holding off any further rereading for the revised copy, but as I recall Twilight kept her eyes mostly shut during these scenes to hide the eyes of the Nightmare's Blessing that Nexus was using to control her.

That little nit pick however in no way diminishes that as I first said, this pic is pure amazing.

FUCK NO ... this shit is turning my stomach ...

I have no problem with gore but all the build up to this scene is creeping me out.

I love it dark pony stories but still something in me screams "ponies should not me sentenced to death."

Good thing i'm waiting for the reading of past sins to get finished. Time to get prepared for this.

I hated this scene so much, but this drawing is awesome.

The shackles were around her ankles, like handcuffs. Meant to keep Twilight from running away.
