The Grimdark 6 Vol One: Lost Loyalty
Bonus Chapter:Chaotic Whispers
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs Aries and Luna conversed in the World Eater's dream, the forces of Chaos struck.
Having successfully deceived the younger princess into believing that they could only enter through the mind of the astartes, they now had a golden opportunity to sink their claws into Equestrian souls.
A small number of weaker Daemons who were subtle enough to not draw Luna's attention emerged from the Warp and made their way to the dreams of their respective victims.

DJPON3 was getting down as well in her sleep as she does awake. The music was booming, the ponies were dancing, everything was right.
But then, a cacophonous noise thundered through the audience and several fell dead while others fell deafened.
DJ herself was struck by the blast directly hearing the noise through not only the music she played for the audience, but her headphones as well.
She looked lowered her sunglasses to show her death glare to whoever disturbed her dream, she knew that the ponies killed weren't real, but it was still messed up.
Her gaze brought her to a bizarre bipedal monkey-crab-thing that looked male and female at the same time with a guitar in it's arms, a clawed hand on the neck and a pincer ready to strum the strings.
The instrument itself was a dark, almost black, purple with monstrous faces howling in agony and longing.
The creature smiled at the Equestrian music maestro, the message was loud and clear.
DJPON3 put her sunglasses back in place and returned the smile. Challenge accepted.

Twilight Sparkle just couldn't get it out of her mind, she still knew so little about the situation at hand.
Sunset may have helped her out, and promised to send her books about the Imperium and the World Eaters, but for now she simply had more questions than answers.
Even in her dreams, she frantically tore through book after book, searching for more information, more facts...more knowledge.
A heavy thud spooked the youngest alicorn into the air. She turned to the sound and saw a large tome with the symbol of the World Eaters upon it.
Twilight landed in front of the great tome, as large as she was, and turned the cover.
Dust flew from the book, causing a coughing fit. Twilight may enjoy the smell of a fresh library book, but ancient tome dust was a little strong for her.
Get on my level scrub.
Twilight shot up and turned this way and that, searching for the source of the voice but not finding it.
Elsewhere
These Daemons and more planted their horrible seeds of temptation, but they knew that their window would not allow them to truly corrupt Equestrians before Luna returned and learned of their attempts...attempts which were diversions, for one Daemon of each Power went beyond Luna's domain, into the dreams of those that she does not protect.
Author's Note
Sorry for the shortie.
I have to work weekends this week and do not have a lot of time to write, so I figured I'll throw a little something your way and let you have a laugh at the TTS reference and make it up to you next week.
Have a good one.
