GaLm


It was another beautiful day in Austin, Texas. Birds were feeding their young, the Farmers were tending to their fields, and a certain YouTuber was finishing up his recording session of one of his favorite games.

"...so I am going to take... a little bit of a break, and when we get back, we'll see what awaits us when we disturb the lunatic cultists!", ending the last part of his sentence with a mysterious and spooky tone. He had just finished his 8 hour gaming session of Terraria when he had to get a bite to eat. He was in the mood for a microwave dinner, in which he acted upon.

"That was an interesting session", GaLm said, "this entire update is interesting as a matter of fact". Terraria had undergone a new update that added a whole array of things. It added new weapons, armor, events, and even the final boss of the game. Before he ended his session, he was about to activate said final boss, by activating the "Mysterious Tablet" that the Lunatic Cultists were guarding and worshiping.

GaLm got up from his gamer's chair and walked into the hallway that connected his room to the rest of his house. He headed toward the kitchen to fetch himself a microwave dinner that he had stored in his freezer. Once he got the dinner out of the freezer, he then followed the proper cooking directions on the green box and placed the dinner in the microwave while setting the appropriate amount of time.

While his food was cooking, he decided that he would freshen up his appearance. He walked to his bathroom and looked into the mirror. He didn't wear anything too spectacular but a black T-Shirt with a black jacket with a red inner lining and a pair of blue jeans. He had a beard that was a partial chin strap, and hair that, if grown out enough, would start to form a small afro.

Hm..., Thought GaLm, should I shave at all? Nah, I can do it when it grows out a little more". With that, he picked up a comb, and combed through his hair, going in straight lines towards the back of his head. That's better. He looked in the direction of his room, I can't look too terrible for the group session with the Derp Crew. GaLm then went back into the kitchen to check on his dinner, and just as he got to the microwave, it's timer ran out, and a long audible ringing came from the cooking machine. "Here we go," GaLm exclaimed, "one microwave dinner, cooked to perfection! Well, as perfect as it can be."

GaLm went back to his bedroom and sat on his bed, thinking about his plan for uploading this week. He had to account for the group sessions that were frequent throughout the week, sleep time, upload scheduling, and the most important thing; which games he could play. Well, He thought, if I upload about 4 to 5 episodes of Terraria this week, and also put up a few other games such as Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Final Fantasy 15, and Star Wars Jedi Knight Academy, in respective time frames apart from one another, then that would be just perfect!

He then remembered that he had his microwave dinner in his hands on his lap. It consisted of macaroni and cheese, chicken strips, corn, and mashed potatoes. The perfect meal for a gamers day of work.


Meanwhile in another plain of existence...

The sun was setting over the horizon to the west and the night was homing in. The sky was lit with bright and bountiful stars as the moon was being risen into the night sky. Under the stars, there was a city that seemed to be made for the posh and royal, sat on a cliff at the side of a mountain. At the edge of the city, hanging over the cliff, was a castle fit for a king, or in this case, princesses.

Princess Luna had just finished rising the moon for all to enjoy and sleep peacefully under. She had enjoyed the task more and more as the years had gone by, and within those years, two new princesses had ascended into royalty, although the newest one was still a filly. Princess Luna was the co-ruler of the land of Equestria, ruling alongside her sister, Princess Celestia. Together, they maintained harmony across Equestria, with the aid of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony.

Luna decided to take a stroll after her nightly duty, and just admire the world around her. Crickets were chirping in mass unison while owls flew off to feast on their prey. Moths gathered around lights that illuminate the night streets of Canterlot, and some residents were out admiring the lunar moon. Luna had learned to accept that as gratitude for her sky. She enjoyed these strolls almost as much as raising the moon, but tonight, something was off.

Luna felt a strange sensation hit her senses as she became more alert than usual. She decided to dismiss it as just being paranoid after so many years of being free from the nightmare that was Nightmare Moon. "Tis nothing to be worried about I suppose..." Luna declared, "...but I think I should tell sister about this." And she went on her way.

In a dark alleyway, something was stirring, as if trying to recharge its energy. A pony wandered out from a baker's shop, carrying crates of flour with his magic to put into storage at the back of his shop. The stirring energy took this as an opportunity to regain some of its energy, and lunged at the pony with its dark mass. "NOOOOOOOOooooooo........." Cried the pony, but silence followed afterward. The mass of dark energy grew as it consumed the now deceased pony. It then stirred as it tried to say something:

"P o w e r......

F e e d......

The mass then proceeded to continue it's feeding, all the while still digesting the previous victim. As it moved along, it made noises of that you would hear from a starving beast, gurgling and grumbling. It's hunger awaiting another victim to fall into it's clutches.


GaLm had finished his meal and had started contemplating on what he would do next. He could continue his gaming session, or he could just wait until tomorrow. Instead, he decided that it would be best to throw away the container to his microwave dinner before he forgot about it. He got up from his bed and headed towards the kitchen where his trash can was located. On his way there, he was still in the process of deciding on if he should continue his Let's Play, or to just go to bed.

"Well," GaLm thought to himself, "I am pretty tired, so it wouldn't hurt if I went to bed. I could just explain to the viewers that I was beat and that I just went to bed. No harm, no foul. Right?.

GaLm had thrown his trash away and proceeded in the direction of his bed. He yawned and sat on the edge of his bed, and thought to himself. Sweet dreams, here I come!, and collapsed.

3 hours later

GaLm was fast asleep, and as quiet as.... well a snoring bear, but still as fast asleep one should be after a 8 hour session of playing video games. While he was asleep, something strange was happening in his room. An orb of light had entered his room through the open window and hovered and moved around his humble abode. Is that him? said a young voice from the orb, Is he the one of them?

Yes, I believe so. Came another voice, this one of a much more regal, yet, calm tone. But even if he's not, he will have to do.

Are you sure about this? The original started, Theoretically, this should be impossible!

Have faith Twilight, this will work, and he will help us. The regal voice reassured, calling the other voice 'Twilight'.

Soon after, the orb began to radiate a brilliant light and engulf GaLm, covering him from head to toe. The light was getting brighter and brighter, and started to seer the walls and ceiling, brighter, BRIGHTER the light became! And then...

GaLm was gone.

Not a trace of his body remained. The bed had an outline where GaLm had been. The bed was ruined, but his equipment was left untouched.
