Arrivals from the lands of the old faith

Plans

"So... What are your plans that you're here in equestria?" said twilight

"Originally, we came because clauneck said this was where we should go, because apparently it was 'our destiny', but he didn't elaborate" Lambert sighed. "Since, we're going to be here for a while, we might as well get started with our cult expansion plan"

"Pardon me, but did you say 'cult expansion plan'?" said rarity.

"Of course, the others will be sailing back to the lands of the old faith while me, narinder and shamura stay to create a teleporter between there and here to make travelling quick and efficient. then we can look into starting a branch of our cult here" Lambert explained.

"Piece of advice," said Starlight "try to avoid using the word 'cult' it holds... negative connotations in equestria".

"OK... how about... a community of like-minded individuals?" suggested Lambert

crickets chirp

"Ok, i'll think of something better later" lambert grumbled.

"While you're here, would you like a tour of ponyville?" suggested applejack

"Yeah!," said Pinkie "and afterwards we can throw a 'Welcome to ponyville' party with you guys as the guests of honour!"

"That sounds lovely!" said toby.

The others decided it wasn't a bad idea, so they left twilight's castle and wandered around ponyville. Leshy couldn't see anything, so toby described everything that the group saw to the best of his ability. Heket seemed mildly interested in sugarcube corner, commenting on their "above average" confectionary. Kallamar seemed to be impressed by the hospital, wishing that he could compare notes with equestrian doctors. Shamura spent most of the tour muttering to himself, and Lambert and Narinder spent most of the tour looking after him and casting worried glances at each other.

eventually though, the tour ended and it was time for the welcome to ponyville party. pinkie pie went all-out (like she did for every party) and everyone enjoyed themselves (even narinder). Afterwards, everyone went back to their respective homes. It was decided that the guests from the lands of the old faith would take up residence in the castle.

Twilight couldn't sleep. The discovery of creatures and lands so interesting kept her wide awake. Eventually, she left her room to go get a glass of water. She then ran into lambert who was also in the kitchen.

"I see slumber proved elusive to you as well" lambert said.

"Yes, it's just... so much to take in. Gods? Cults? Genocide? I feel exhausted and i'm not even the one who experienced it!"

"But I did" said lambert quietly.

"Can you tell me more about the lambs before they were..." said twilight

"Exterminated? I suppose so. We lived in groups called herds. We used to live in villages and towns but after the reaping started, we became nomadic, which staved off our extinction for a little longer." said lambert.

"It must have been horrible" said twilight

"Oh it was, but things are better now, for which I am eternally grateful." said lambert

Their conversation was cut short by an enormous exploding sound.

"Twilight! what happened?" asked spike as he and starlight raced down the stairs with the others from the lands of the old faith.

"I'm not sure spike, but it seemed like it came from the everfree forest." twilight replied.

They left twilight's castle and met up with the rest of the mane six on the way. they rushed through the forest towards where a large pillar of light was shining from the castle of the two sisters.

As they approached it a strange being emerged from it. they wore a cloak with a hood, covered in various patterns, the space underneath their robe revealing a galaxy-resembling space underneath. they had two eyes, white sclera and black pupils. behind them, the group could see other creatures similar to the first one within the pillar of light, which now resembled a doorway between dimemsions.

"Oh no..." said Lambert

"Greetings infant god" the creature said addressing lambert.
