Ahriman's POV

I awoke to the sound of guards talking. I sat up, and took a look around me. I was in what appeared to be an underground dungeon of sorts. I noticed my staff on the opposite side of the room. Then I noticed the Guard. A Pony with Bat wings and ears. And then brain.exe stopped working. The guard looked up at me.

"Ah, good your awake. Now I can go retrieve the Princess. He closed the book he was reading and walked out the door, stopping to look at two unseen guards.
"Don't allow him to leave." He said, then continued on his way. I grunted. Seeing as I am a prisoner for now, I chose to remain to see what happened and where he was. And who was this princess? Tzeentch divine that sounds so girly-wait. Tzeentch Divine? Since when had ever said that? I took a moment to study myself. My armor had become very much real, and I could feel my new muscles, unlike the ones I had before.

"Shit. I'm now Ahriman." I mutter. For some reason.... I'm not suprised. Or shocked. Or anything. I just felt acceptance. That this is my life now. I stopped my thoughts when I heard the sound of hooves hitting the ground. I look up to see a blue mare with wings and a horn, and with an ethereal mane that floated without air. She examined me for a bit before asking.

"What are you?" She asked. I decided to reply.

"I am Ahriman The Exiled, Member of the Adeptus Astartes Traitor Legion 'The Thousand Sons'. I am a sorcerer, and a strong one at that. I serve Lord Tzeentch, God of Change, Knowledge, and Power. Who are you?" I replied. She looked stunned for a bit before replying.

"I am Princess Luna, Bringer of Night and soon to be Ruler of Equestria. I lead the Lunar Guard in a war against my Sister, Princess Celestia. We are sorry for confining you, but we did not know what thy was, and thought thee dangerous. Please forgive us." She then nodded to one of her guards, who removed the cuffs confining me. I stand to my full height, easily out class in Luna in that category. She looked up at me.
"Would though like something to eat?" She asked. I shook my head.
" I am unable to eat." I tell her. She tilts her head.
"Why is that?" She asks.
"Because I am now nothing more than dust and a suit of armor. But we can at least move some where more... suitable for conversation." I lie, and she nods, ignoring the words about me being dust and a suit of armor. She waves her head in a motion that says 'follow', and I follow her through the winding halls and stairs. Since they are ponies, I have to wonder how they managed to build a building, let alone the armor or spears the guards have. I follow Luna into a room with a table and two chairs. The guards wait outside the room, and close the door behind me. Luna sits in one seat and motions for me to sit in the other. I oblige, and settle into the seat.

After a moment of silence, she begins the discussion.

"Where did you come from?" She asks.
"I fell through a wormhole and landed in this nation. That's all I remember."

"That's all? Everything else is a blank?"

"Yes. "
"Perhaps I can use a memory spell to return your lost memories." She then charges up a flood of warp energy in her horn, and it washes over me. I sit there for a few moments, waiting for my memory to return. It doesn't.

"Strange...." Luna says after a while.

"What is strange?"

"Your memories are there, just... corrupted. There are two set's of memories in your mind, and one is somehow suppressing the other. Try to remember your home." She tells me, and I do so.

I see great spires and Glass Pyramids filled with knowledge, a great society that was full of scholars and psykers. Then, suddenely, it changed. Fire was everywhere, and men in armor much like his own, but pale white instead of blue, with an insignia of a wolf on their shoulder pads. They mowed down anything that moved, and his home burned. He saw two giants among men dueling it out, one using the powers of the arcane, while the other used blades of steel. In the next few moments, a great battle took place, but then, the mage and his followers, soldiers in red, vanished. Then the vision ended.

I was back in the chair with Luna. She looked at me expectantly. I shuddered with rage before speaking.

"It Burns..." I say. She looks at me with a frown.
"What burns?" She asks, worry in her eyes.

"Prospero.... it burns..." I continue.

"What is Prospero?" She asks.

"My home.... destroyed by the Wolves. They burned Prospero."

"I am sorry for that, Ahriman, I truly am. What was your home like?" She asks. If I could smile, I would. I tapped into the warp, and created a vision around us. She yelped in suprise when the world around her changed suddenly. As she looked around, her jaw dropped to the floor. She saw Prospero in all its glory, the gleaming spires and pyramids practically vibrating with knowledge.

"Its.. beautiful." She said after a minute. I nodded, then showed the scene of the Wolves destroying it. She watched in horror as the tall armored giants reduced the city to rubble, killing everyone. I shut off the vision after that. We had returned to the table and chairs. She reoriented herself before looking at me with truly sad eyes.

"I am so sorry that your home was destroyed." She said, truly meaning it this time.

"Think nothing of it. It has been ten millenia since it was destroyed, and I have moved on. I seek the knowledge of the Black Library, a place of such grand knowledge that it dwarfs some of the gods themselves. A library of all existence, containing every book ever made. And it is with this knowledge will I destroy the Wolves and their Corpse Emperor." I tell her. She looks at me.

"Well, since it is without a doubt that you are a alien from another planet, as there was no city that beautiful in existence on this planet, I hereby welcome thee to our planet. But enough talk about you for now. I need help." She told me.

"Help with what?" I ask.

"The defeat of my sister. She has been the ruler of Equestria, with the ponies always loving her sun, and ignoring the beautiful night that I created. After so many years, I have decided to overthrow her, and encase the world in Eternal Night. I wish for you to help me with that." She asked. I nodded.

"But, we cannot have it be an eternal night, your majesty." I tell her.

"Oh? Why is that?" She asks, her gaze hardening slightly.

"Because, your majesty, all life needs the sun to grow. Without sunlight, the planet will freeze and everything will die. This cannot happen. I will assist you, but you must not have the night be eternal." I tell her. Her face becomes slightly pale from that.

"I see. Very well. We will, on occasion, allow the rise of the sun." She says, and I nod. I then kneel before her.

"What will you have me do, your majesty?" I ask her.

"There is a small group of mages in my army. Since you said that you were a sorcerer, I wish of you to teach them, as they are but novices. But before that happens, there is something else."

"Yes, your majesty?"

"There is a encampment to the north from here. Our spies have revealed that it will soon be attacked. We wish for you to go there and aid in the defence." She pulled out a map and pointed at a spot on the map in the north, marked with an X.

"You can teleport, right?" She asks.

"Indeed. But I need to know what the location looks like before I can go there." She smiled.

"I have a solution to that." Her horn lit up and an image of a encampment appeared in my mind. I examined the image before letting it fly into my memories.

"Very well. I shall be off then." I say, but she stops me.
"The guards need to know wether or not your an ally. So, here." She gave me two items. A scroll with the seal of the moon on it, and a pin with the logo of the Lunar Rebellion. I took both.

"Give these to the guards there and they will know to trust you." She told me. I nod, and without another word, imagine the place in my mind, before tearing a hole through the material realm. I walked through the portal, and it vanished behind me. I reappared in the middle of the encampment. Guards immediately surrounded me, spears leveled at my chest. One of the guards walks up to me.

"Creature, state your buisness!" He orders. I hand him the scroll and the pin, and his eyes widen. He opens the scroll and reads through it then looks at me.

"Very well. Warriors! This is the Head mage of the Lunar Guard, Lord Ahriman. He is the ranking commander here as of now, by order of Princess Luna. He will aid in the defence of the camp." A few cheers echoed through the camp, and the guards removed their spears from pointing at my chest. The Guard looks up at me.

"Lord Ahriman, what are your orders?" He asks.

"When is the enemy expected to arrive?"
"Four hours or less."
"Show me a map of the area." I follow the guard into the command tent, and on the table is a map of the surrounding area.

"The Solar Guards will likely attack from here." He pointed to a small mountain. " What do you suggest?" He asks.

I examine the map for a while before answering.

"I believe that this spot." I point to a spot on the map. "Will be a defendable area. So, we should set up soldiers here, with two larger squads hiding behind the mountain. When the enemy gets into combat, the other two groups will surround them, forcing them to either surrender, or die fighting." I tell him.

"But sir, if the defence position is too weak, the enemy could break through." He told me.

"I know. Which is why I shall aid the main defence line myself." I declare. He looks up at me.

"A mage would be a great boost in power, but how do you plan on getting them to surrender?" He asks.

"Simple. I get up into his face. "With fear." I leaned back. "And I'm not a mage." I tell him. He looks up.
"Then what are you?" He asks, slightly on guard.
"I am a Librarian. Not your kind of librarian, I mean the ones who use the power of the warp to fuel my power." I tell him.

"The warp? What's that?" He asks.
"I will tell you later. For now, get your men into position. Also, what is your name?" I ask.
"I am Sargeant Shadow Break, of the 23rd Company of the Lunar Guard." He answers.

"Well then, Shadow, get your soldiers ready. I will meet you at the battlefield." With that, he ran off, ready to fight.

4 hours later

As I awaited the Solar Guard, I felt the power of the warp course through me. I could sense that they were close. Suddenely, a guard shouted out.

"They're here!"

I immediately began channeling my power into my staff, preparing to unleash a spell. As I watched, the Solar Guard slowly marched toward us, shields raised. I saw a few horns in the mix, with Earth Ponies and Pegasi as well. I waited. The Solar Guard halted.

"Leader of the Lunar Guard in this sector! You are to surrender yourself and your troops to the Solar Kingdom! We can avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but you must surrender!" I decided to play with them. I turned to my soldiers.
"Wait here." I told them, then walked out in the open. The Solar troops saw me, and immediately prepare their spears. I kept my power in the staff, ready to use at a moments notice. I calmly walked up to them.

"Who here is your commanding officer?" I ask. One of them walk up to him.

"I am Captain Breaker of the Solar Kingdom. Who are you?"

"I am Librarian Ahriman the Exiled, Avatar of Tzeentch, and commander of the Lunar Guard here." I tell him.

"We order you to surrender your troops now and avoid unnecessary bloodshed. We will not ask again." Breaker replied, a stern look across his face.

"That's the thing. I don't take orders from you. I take orders from Lord Tzeentch and Princess Luna, and I order you to surrender to avoid unnecessary bloodshed." I tell him. His face hardened. We will not surrender to a blatantly weaker army. It is the Lunar Guard who must surrender. If not, we will take you prisoner." He tells me, looking into my eyes. I sigh.

"Very well." The Captains eyes lit up at that. "You leave me no choice. Lunar Guard, ATTACK!" And with that, all hell broke loose. Crossbow bolts fired into the Solar Guard just as the attempted to stab me. I then released the spell in my staff, surrounding them in warpfire. The Solar Guard Captain looked around as he and his squad was now trapped by blue flames. I leaned next to him.
"Surrender now, or your squad burns." I tell him. He gulped, then shouted.

"All Solar Guards! Lay down your weapons! We are surrendering!" He tells his squad, who quickly put down their weapons. I cease the Warpflame, and send an order to the Lunar Guard.

"Lunar Guard! Confiscate their weapons and take them to the prison cells!" I then get in close to the captain. "But you are coming with me." I tell him, and he quickly nods before following me. As the Lunar Guard Take the Solar weapons, Shadow walks up to me.

"What are you doing with their captain? And what in Luna's name were those flames!" He asks.

"I am taking the Captain for interrogation. And the fire was the power of the warp made manifest. It's the simplest of spells for a Librarian." I then walk off with the Solar Captain into the command tent. I motion for him to sit down, when he does, so do I.

"So now then, I am going to get the information I want." I tell him.

"You won't get me to talk!" The captain snarled. I laughed.

"Who said anything about talking?" I tell him before seizing his mind with my power and scanning it. I ignore his screams while I probe his mind. When I find the information I want, I stop. The captain slumps down onto the table, unconscious. Sargeant Shadow ran in.

"Why was there screaming?" He asked, then saw the captain slumped on the table. He looked back to me.

"Did you kill him?" He asks.

"No. I simply read his mind and now have the whereabouts of the enemy camp that sent this squad to deal with us." I stood up, and calmly walked out the door. I motioned to two guards, then pointed inside.

"Restrain him and bring him to the cells." I order. They nod and walk in. Shadow continues to follow.

"They have an entire camp to deal with us? And this was just a small squad? Then we can't win! I'm calling a retreat." Shadow's say, but I stop him.

"No. I will deal with this enemy myself. And before you ask, no, I won't be alone. I have a few... friends in the area. Just hold here, and I will be back by nightfall." I then walked out of the camp and began marching towards the enemy base.

2 hours later.

When I arrived, I turned myself invisible and examined the base. They had patrols every ten minutes and guards manning the walls. I turned back and headed into a cave. I pulled out a peice of chalk and drew a summoning circle. Then, I began to speak a language that no mouth should ever utter.

Solar Guards POV

As I watched the area in front of me, I noticed a red glow coming from a cave a few yards away. I signaled one of the patrols to scout it out. They nodded, and went to investigate. After five minutes, they hadn't returned yet. Had they encountered something? Then, suddenely, a scream was heard, a horrendous, pained scream that echoed across the snowy tundra for miles on end. Then all was silent. All the guards had woken to the noise and we're gearing up. I started shaking, feeling a sense of dread fill up the area. Then I saw something. Strange, bipedal creatures emerged from the cave, with flaming blades. I pulled out my alarm horn and blew into it, signaling the alarm. All the guards manned the walls, with the rest guarding the gates with spears raised. The strange creatures charged toars us, screeching in a unknown language as they advanced. Then the Admiral spoke.

"Fire! Send those things back to Tartarus!" After he said that, everyone either fired a bolt from their crossbow, or fired a magic blast. The creatures continued forward, ignoring the blasts of magic and crossbow bolts as they drew closer to the base. Suddenely, a scream emenated from behind the guards. I turned around to see a group of the monstrosities tearing into the guards below. I turned back around to see one right in my face. My eyes widened right before a large blade slid deep into my chest, and everything went dark.

Ahriman's POV

When I returned to the Lunar base, I announced that the enemy base had been dealt with. They all cheered, though some had doubts, including sargeant Shadow.

"How did you break into their base and destroy it?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I summoned the Deamons of the warp." That got Shadow's attention.

"You can summon Demons?! And control them?!" He exclaimed. I nodded. He just sighed.

"Is there anything you can't do?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Hell if I know. But I'm returning to the Princess to tell her that the threat has been dealt with. Goodbye." With that, I opened up a portal to the Lunar Rebellion Base, and stepped through it.
