What if Lyra Heartstring's obsession with humans had a darker side?
What if she was in intermittent telepathic contact with an alien demon in a human body buried in the dusty sands of Saddle Arabia?
Some time ago, an alien demon in a human body came to an isolated part of Saddle Arabia. It managed to wipe out several peaceful pony tribes until a group of Mages defeated the demon. But they couldn't kill it. So they made a tomb and bound the demon to it. As time passed, the demon realized that the human host was slowly dying. That meant that the demon would die too unless it found a new body. The demon honed its mind magic to try to get ponies to release it from the tomb. Direct coercion required too much power over vast distances so the demon had to be subtle.
After too many centuries, the demon finally got its wish. An expeditionary force working for Equestria's Ministry of Magic is sent out to find the tomb. Lyra is also recruited and she keeps them on track. Without her help, they would've failed and had to return to Canterlot empty-hooved.
She even finds the tomb. Now the demon has constant contact with Lyra and urges her to push the other ponies to break the wards.
I had enough of the story planned out in my mind to do the first chapter.
Unfortunately, this is not a one chapter story.
Already have an epic story in the works.
This story will have to be put on hold.
