chapter 20:war comes to the world of equus
Previous Chapterunknown location:
In a dark land where the gloaming shadow of an unknown power is cast all over it,they lie and wait for they have all the time in the world or so they have thought. The dead crow that came from ponyville arrived at the borders of a place that is consider a myth to the rest of equus the so called "mortis plains" in this dark and gloomy lands many of the world live there but to say living is an understatement for they are mere cattle for the the true rulers of the land, the undead legions and their vampire masters. And in the heart of this land on a cliffside,after the fields of graves and dead hollow trees it stand strong,dark and tall bering the mark of a bloody bat the "Krutsenhof Castle" home to the last members of its family the vampires of the von kruts bloodline.
Inside the dark halls of the castle it was silence as the graves,then the sound of hooves walking slowly in the halls was heard and in them a lone bat pony walked to the inner chamber of the castle. As he enter the room their was a large and long table and on it three bipedal figures where sitting two males and one female their skin was pale dead,they where wearing clothing of noble look and they were eating meat alongside goblets that were filled with a red liquid. The bat pony came closer but then he stopped at the center of the room bowing to the mysterious figures.
"What news do you bring us lua timore" the figure at the head of the table said with deep voice to the bat pony. Every word that came out of the mouth of the figure was like something dark holding the heart and slowly killing it.
"The crow as return from the town of ponyville,it seems that they made contact with the beastman shaman and his daughter and just like you predicted the fools under the name of friendship tried to befriend the shaman's daughter but they fail and she left the town,all so my spies have reported a strange magic in the everfree most likely the beastman is making some kind of ritual" lua timore reported his findings to his masters in hope to please them.
"You done well timore so as a reward your next task will be more to your expertise" the figure told him with a smile. "In less then a week the annual event known as the grand galloping gala will take place in the capital of equestria,the city of canterlot. You are to take a few guards with you and make contact with the princess of friendship twilight sparkle and try to broker an alliance between our lands,but that will not be your real goal in this event what i want from you is to do all i said but in the same time we will prepare a host of undead under the command of my brother it will take them time to get their but while you are their i want your agents and spies to cause havoc when negotiations fail".
"As you command my lord i will arrange for an escort and will depart in 3 hours,but my lord if i may ask why take this course of action why not hold any talking till princess celestia will have no more power in the court?" timore asked his master about the change of approach.
"Are you questioning our words you worm!" the second figure yelled at the bat pony.
But before any more words came out of the figure mouth the third figure the female one stood up,"dear brother their is no need to act like this on our beloved member of the midnight aristocracy,he has proven himself many times and he done many things all ready that will condemned him in the eyes of his fellow ponies its best to tell him of what is happened".
"Very well sister,timore the reason we are moving with this plan and not the original is not only the unknown ritual of the beastman shaman but we all so discover two new problems" the first figure told their most trusted agent.
"Problem? My lord" lua timore asked.
"Yes our necromancers discovered and unknown magic source that came from the great swamp lands close to the badlands,we send scouts days ago but they failed to report so when we tried to determine what was the source of magic we discover only one thing an image of the The Rotten Symbol of the Urfather. The second problem is more concerning for now their had being reports of red eyes with dark fur moving back and forth from mountains,caves,tunnels,cities and of many kidnappings. It appear they had all so notice the change in the winds and they on the move to strike most likely in the gala,all so along the border between the ponies and griffins their was reported a body count of 56 murdered ponies and griffins the kingdoms don't know who done it but we know it was the latest weapon developed by undervermin. If they will get to the princess before we do then our plans will become more hard to make,so now that you have all the information i think it will be best if you began your departure to canterlot".
"Yes my lords i will not fail you" lua timore said to his masters as he left the chamber to began is leave to canterlot.
The three siblings walked to the large window of the room and they looked over their dark domain they lift their goblets,"brother,sister if all will go to our plan then our 8000 years on this world would be not for nothing,for the von kruts!" the first brother said.
"FOR THE VON KRUTS!" his brother and sister follow his words.
The first brother called one of the pony maids of the Castle to them,the earth pony maid was afraid to her core but if she will not do her job worse things then death can follow. "You summoned my lord" she said to the masters of the land.
"Yes my dear bring us a new vintage of blood wine from the kirin stock".
"As you wish my lord" she said and she left to bring them their bloody drink.
They looked once more to the window and the first brother said with pride in is voice"we will fulfill the legacy of nagash".
unknown location-below the surface of equus:
Over the years since the day discord was first defeated by the alicorn sisters to the day when twilight and all of the world won in the battle of the bell everyone on the surface of the world knew what was happening in their life,but what about the underground of the world. Unknown to the entire world of equus a cancer gnaws and spread to all parts of the world all but one part the everfree forest. Over the years many have disappear without a trace or assassinated with no eye witness to see what happened,strange noises from the gutter of cities and strange shadows moving in the night and last strange earthquakes happening in places that had never had quakes before like they are unnatural in some way.
Underneath the surface of an old diamond dogs mining point near the equestrian border the mine in the outside it was abandoned but the more you go in the more you will see what was the reason for many of what happened around the world or who was the reason. Deeper underground many tunnels were build and in one of the center of the tunnels loud noises of machines was heard and in every corner of the tunnels green vile rocks were glowing,along the road medium sized rats ran along in a group but one of the rats was grabbed by a paw of some beast only that the truth was more horrific the paw belong to a rat creature the size of diamond dogs. The rat creature started to eat the small rat he grabbed and in the view behind him a massive sound of hundreds of this ratman marching in the tunnels to where no one knows.

In the center of the outpost of the strange ratman four tall ratman guards with armor and halberds stood their ground while two ratman where talking very angry to each other.
"WE NEED MORE TIME-TIME!" said an armored ratman with a sword and a whip to the second ratman with a letter in his paw.
"No more time-time his most cunning of masters ordered the grey seer and the rest of the warlords to prepare for the age of the rat,your order-task is to send slave rats and clan rats to pony city canterlot and when the time will come we will destroy them in a single blow and then all skaven will march on surface world".
"And how i am to slay-kill the pony leaders they are too strong-strong for me to handle even if i will bring swarm of stormvermin".
"Not to worry grey seer ordered 12 eshin gutter runners to make sure the leaders of the ponies will die-die and just to make sure they will not fail lord grey seer ordered warplock mutator tinker stitch to deploy his most top creations,she will dispose of the horse things very fast yes-yes".
"And what about the beastman in the forest and his horse spawn?" the skaven overseer asked the messenger.
"They are to be ignored for now we can't risk them using the winds on us when we are close to finish our task. One more word-message we found out that a packet of pestilence monks and chaos things somehow arrived in the huge swamp lands they are to be consider enemies and will be killed-killed in time,now go-go in the horned rat".
the great swamp:
In one of the great swamps in equus a huge camp was build and inside this camp where thousands of humans with pox,rot and foul stench of smell all over them. Some of them where skinny and some of them where fat but both had the same look of foul decay,among this humans where more of the skaven but they had green robes on them and their skin was full of pox as well. Among them their where all so huge monsters that words could not describe and inside the fort a group of armored humans taller then celestia and luna combined stood watch while inside the tent two humans one with an armor all over him and a rusted axe on his side and a second human that was fat with and had only a few robes on him alongside a staff and a helmet that a strange ooze came out of it,and last was a skaven plague monk with two flails in his hands.
"We should attack, now!" the armored human yelled.
"We need more time-time to bring more of our congregation of decay to this world" the plague monk responded in his turn.
"I agree with our pestilence allies,our blightstormers need more time as well to bring this part of their world to the garden. And we can't attack without the saying of lord "bubobus the tallyman",but i think i know a way to speed the process" the second human informed his armored lord.
"Then do as you think we should act i will not defy the words of lord tallyman but can't just sit and do nothing have the skaven and our marauder scout and find more food and slaves,tell our torturers gather more information from this talking ponies we found and i want this camp to become a fort to the same power of the brass keep understood!" the tall armored northman yelled to his fellow.
"Yes-yes we go now-now" the plague monk said and he left to his forces.
"At once my lord" the plague sorcerer said after and teleport to the rest of the sorcerers.
The armored chaos chosen of nurgle got out of the tent and he look to the horizon and said out loud,"soon when our lord will come with the rest of our army this world will fall to nurgle's rot" and as he said it many voices from behind were heard and in view were thousands of northman,skaven and monsters in the camp of the plague-pact.
