1 Day Later

Twilight's POV

After I put Spike to bed, I slipped into my own bed. I yawned, before drifting off into sleep.

I was in a place I had never seen before. The ground beneath me changed every so often, and the sky rained a dark red liquid. I felt like I knew where I was, but the memory eluded me. I got up onto my feet, and began walking. Every so often, something flew through the sky, above the clouds.

As I walked, I notice a strange, multicolored creature flying towards me. When it landed, I got a good look at it.

It had the head of a bird, with a staff topped off with an unknown symbol. It's colors changed every second, to the point where I thought it was every color in existence.

"Madam Twilight, at last." It said in a dark voice that sent chills up my spine.
"Um... who are you? Where are we?" I asked, hoping to gain some information. It sighed.

"Isn't it obvious? You are in the Warp, and my Lord wishes to speak with you. As for me, I have no name. Now, please follow." It replied, walking off. Having nowhere to go, I decided to follow him, and meet his 'Lord'.

After about two hours of walking, we arrived in a strange castle, that denied description. We continued until we came into a grand hall. Creatures unlike any I had seen before sat at the table, eating unknown food. But what really caught my attention was the bipedal being at the head of the table. His skin was red,his arms rippled with muscles, and he wore strange armor, with tusks coming out of his chest. His face held only one eye, which stared at me. With a the move of a hand, all of the creatures dining vanished into smoke. He gestured for me to take a seat. Almost reluctantly, I sat.

"So, Princess Sparkle, I see you've found your way to my castle. Did you like the scenery?" He asked. I shook my head. He sighed. "Not many do. Anyways, introductions are needed. I am Magnus The Red, Deamon Prince of Change, Knowledge, and more. I had my servant bring you here to ask you a few questions. Also, I will answer any questions you have in consolation." He told me, to which I nodded, wanting to know more of this strange place, as well as gain some Intel on why he wanted me here.

"Alright, let us begin. Have you heard of Ahriman The Exiled, once the mightiest Sorcerer of Princess Luna during the Civil War of your people?" He asked. I shook my head. "Do you know what the Warp is?"

"No, Magnus, I do not. I feel like I should, but I don't." I answered, the feeling of dread I had been feeling starting to settle in. He nodded.

"Would you like to study under me in the ways of the Warp?" He asked. I considered this. He was asking me if I wanted to study under him for something I had never heard of. Well, color me Intrigued.

"Sure. I always love learning new things." I told him. He smiled.

"Ah, a studious mind. I do love those who seek knowledge. Now then, I've asked most of my questions for now. I will let you ask some of yours." He told me. I immediately began asking him questions.

"Who is Ahriman? Why have I never heard of him if he was Luna's top Sorcerer? Do you mean the War of Darkness that resulted in Nightmare Moon?" I asked. He laughed heartily, causing me to stop for a moment.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked, pouting a bit. He raised his hand.

"Forgive me, Sparkle, I just love a curious mind. You remind me of myself when I was young." He explained between laughs. When he stopped, he had to recompose himself. "Anyways, to answer your questions, some I cannot tell you, because you will learn of them soon. And yes, I mean the War of Darkness. The reason you never heard of him was because both Celestia and Luna don't trust you to know of his terrible deeds. But, let me tell you this." He was suddenly right in front of me.

"Ahriman has been banished by Celestia since the war, along with his two brothers. But soon, they will return. I want you to do nothing when they do." He told me. I looked at him strangely.

"What? Why? Who are they?" I asked. He smiled.
"Beings from another realm, and served Luna to the end. Also, there is a group out to the badlands. A group of batponies, as well as some normal ponies. I want you to find them tomorrow, and ask to join them. Give them this." He passed a piece of paper to me. "If they don't trust you. They are some of my students, who serve the greater gods. Give them that, and they will see you as a Great Prophet. You will tell them any orders I wish to give them. I will speak to you in your dreams. Along with them, you will learn the powers of the Warp. But, ignore some of their more.... repulsive hobbies." He told me. I looked at him curiously, but nodded in acceptance of these terms. He leaned back in his seat.

"Good. Now then, I will see you soon, Apprentice. You are waking now. And, whatever you do, do not tell anyone about this, except the group. Do not tell your friends, or even the other Princesses." With that, he faded into nothing, and I woke from the dream.

I looked at the parchment in my hoof. Nodding, I put it in the saddlebag at the end of the room, which I picked up and filled with travel supplies. I walked into the kitchen to see Spike making some pancakes for breakfast.

"Good morning Spike." I called out to him.
"Mornin, Twi. You feeling better?" He asked without looking in my direction. I say down at the table, and began to eat.
"Yep. Also, I've got to go somewhere today. I'm going to be a while, maybe a couple of days. Look after the castle for a few days, will ya?" I told him, to which he nodded as he passed me a plate of pancakes. I greedily dug in, devouring the pancakes. When I finished, I put my dish in the sink before heading down the long halls. At the exit, I called out to Spike.

"See you later, Spike!" I then walked off towards the train station.

Cult Leader's POV

I walked around the Main cult home, joyous thoughts flying through my mind.

"Lord Bold Bolt, sir." One of the other cultists called out. I walked over to him.

"What is it, student?" I asked.
"The preparations for our Lord's return is complete. We need only wait for his return." He told me. I nodded.
"Good. Let us return to the main area. We must be there when he arrives." I told him, and we walked off towards the Main Hall, only for a guard to stop us along the way.

"My lord, there is a purple Unicorn on the surface asking to join our group. I wouldn't bother you with this if it weren't for this." He handed me a small parchment. I took it from him and began to read. When I finished. I looked up at the guard.

"Bring her to me at once. I will be in the Main Hall." Nodding, he turned and ran back the way he came. The cultists looked at me.

"What is it, lord? Who is that Unicorn?" He asked. I looked him dead in the eyes.
"She is The Student of Magnus the Red, Deamon Prince of Tzeentch. Our new Prophet." I told him. He gulped, before heading back.

Twilight's POV

"So, where is everybody?" I asked as we walked down the halls of this strange building.

"At the main hall, madam." He replied.
"My name is Twilight, and wish to be called that." I told him.
"Yes, Madam Twilight. Forgive me." He said, to which I just rolled my eyes. After a while, we walked into a large chamber, packed with at least thirty ponies garbled in cloaks. After a while, a Batpony walked to the front.

"My fellow followers of Tzeentch!" He began, and I felt another pulse of pain in my head at the name 'Tzeentch', like I should know who that is. "We are gathered here today, because our Great Lord, Ahriman the Exiled, and Great Sorcerer of Luna, shall return to us on this night!" Lots of cheering occurred. He then gestured to me.

"And, as a surprise from Tzeentch, the Protégé of Magnus the Red, Primarch of the Thousand Sons Legion, and Lord Ahriman's father. Madam, please come to the stage with me." I nodded, and walked up to the stage, cheers from the others behind me. "Please, madam, please tell us your name." He asked. I took a deep breath.

"Hello! I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship, once the Protégé of Princess Celestia, and once Bearer of the Element of Magic." At the name 'Celestia', hard glares from the rest were affixed to me. I backed up nervously.

"Please, cease the aggression, my brothers and sisters! This only speaks of Prince Magnus's skill! To bring this mare to our members would take great determination, and power!" The glares vanished at his words. He looked to me.

"I am glad you chose to join us, and not believe the lies that your old mentor had preached to you about us." He told me.

"As far as I know, she has never told me of any of you. She hasn't told me about Ahriman, either." I told him. His face darkened.

"So, they don't even speak of us?! Goes to show how forgetful the Enemy is. To not even remember us, her main opponent during the Great War!" He told the crowd. Lots of booing was heard.

"Magnus said she didn't trust me enough to tell me. Though, I doubt that. I've been like a daughter to her. Her own words. Though, I doubt that. She She has told me everything. She probably just forgot to mention you. If you were part part of the War of Darkness, then I'm suprised they didn't mention you." I told them.

"So, she doesn't even trust her own student, a person she treats as her own daughter, to know about us? She is truly a creature of lies! And you say that the history books never mentioned us? To think they forgot the most powerful group of Librarians, assigned by Ahriman, in their history books! The nerve of the ponies!" He shouted. Many cries of rage called out from the crowd.

"Wait, what? No, no, I'm certain they just didn't know. We have never heard of the Warp, either." I told them, when suddenly, a portal of blinding colours opened up in the back of the stage. Both me and the leader backed up, while him and everypony else bowed. As I watched, three tall, bipedal creatures covered head to hoof in armor stepped out.

The first one was clad in dark blue armor, with four bronze tusks pointing out of his helmet. He carried a staff, with two spikes jutting out of the centerpiece of the staff, which was a blue eye.

The second one was bright red, with two long pincer like flats on his helmet. His left arm was bare, revealing bronze like skin, with bulging muscles. In his hand, he carried a massive axe, with what looked like metal teeth where the blade was meant to be. In his other hand, which was armoured, he carried a blocky weapon, with a blue pulse emanating from its center.

The third and final one was massive, with skulls decorating his armor. In one of his hands, he too carried an axe, though this one had a normal blade. On his other hand, which was bigger than the other, a large, bulky square with two circular holes jutting out out of it sat snugly on his armor. He was red, just like the other one. They filed out and stood in a line in front of the crowd of Students.

The leader stepped forward.

"Lord Ahriman, you have returned! As well as Lord Khârn, and Lord Zhufor! We have awaited your return!" He stated. The blue one looked down at him.

"Who are you?" He asked.
"I am Bold Bolt, current leader of the Librarians. I will gladly step down for you, my lord." He replied, bowing quickly. He looked to me.

"Who is she?" He asked. Bold Bolt quickly glanced at me.

"She is Twilight Sparkle, Protégé of your father, Prince Magnus the Red." He answered. Ahriman stared at me.

"So, you are his student?" I nodded. "Well, let me introduce myself. I am Ahriman The Exiled, Chief Librarian of The Legion. I will tell you now that you do not order me, and neither does Magnus. I am the founder of this Librarian Cult, and wish to be treated as such." He told me. I nodded. "Good. Now then, Bold Bolt, how long has it been since we were banished to the Warp?" He asked, turning his attention back to the batpony.

"It has been little over a thousand years since the war. After your disappearance, we lost, and Luna was banished to the moon. Now, Princess Luna has returned, but is now back to how she was before the war. We can no longer serve her. Lord Tzeentch graced us with a way to return you to this plane of existence, and, the result is pretty clear. We don't have the power at the moment to follow your plan, but we are close. Anyways, we are at your command." He replied, discussing the recent events very poorly.

"Is that so? Well, I am going to go have a chat with Celestia and Luna. I will be right back." Before anyone could say anything, he opened a portal and leapt through. When he vanished, we all looked to Khârn and Zhufor. They both shrugged.

"I'm going to head home now. I'll keep in touch." I told Bold Bolt, then teleported home.

Celestia's POV

As I dealt with the petty squabbles of Prince Blueblood, a portal opened up in the back of the room. The guards immediately sprang into action, getting in front of Blueblood and myself, as well as Luna. As I watched, a being in blue armor walked out. Luna gasped in recognition, and when I looked at her, her eyes were ablaze with hatred.

"So, you must be Celestia. I had hoped to meet you face to face a long time ago." The creature said, taking a step forward. The guards leveled they're spears, but he merely waved, and the spears flew out of their hooves.

"What do you want, foul Ahriman?! We thought you were banished, much like we were." Luna asked the creature, now identified as Ahriman. He shrugged.

"I came here merely to say hello, and to tell you that I have returned." As he spoke, I examined his aura. He was covered in chaotic energy.

"What does a servant of Discord want with us? We both know you haven't just come to say hello." I asked. He laughed, a cold, empty laugh, like a Griffon scraping his claws against a chalkboard.

"I do not know who Discord is, but I don't serve him. I serve Luna, or, at least, I pretended to." He replied, still chuckling.
"What is this abomination! Quickly Aunt, dispose of his filth!" Blueblood shrieked. Ahriman looked down on him.

"Oh? And what of all the foul things you've done? You've blackmailed, cheated, and worse to achieve your fame. I would see you as worse filth than I." Blueblood immediately shrank, his ears flattening on his head.
"Enough! you will come quietly with our guards for questioning. Or else." I told him, spreading my wings out in warning.

"Oh, I don't think so. You see, my master, Lord Tzeentch, had not seen me doing that in my future. I only came to give a warning. Soon, your peace will fail, and Chaos will rule this land. I and my brothers will topple your thrones, and when we do, Tzeentch will claim your souls." He told me. With that said, another portal opened, and he stepped inside. After he walked through, the portal vanished. I looked to Luna.

"Luna, who was he? Why does he threaten us?" I asked. She looked to me with pleading eyes. I nodded.

"Blueblood. Leave us. We will talk about what he said later." I ordered, and he nodded, before running out the door.

Luna sighed, then began explaining.
