//------------------------------// // The Daemon Gate // Story: PonyHammer 40,000: Magic of War | Winter Strike // by Dragon Heart //------------------------------// The Equestrial Guard had managed to get past most of the Discord war parties that got in their way, but then they reached their last obstacle; The Daemon Gate. The large, corpse riddled barricade not only blocked their entrance to the city, it fought back with warp energy fireballs, mortally damaging anything it hit. "We cannot survive this barrage much longer." said the Commissar. "The Daemon Gate is protected by the foul workings of the Warp." The General stated. "If we cannot overcome it quickly, then all is lost!" From atop a large snow hill, an Eldeer Farseer saw the massacre unfold before her eyes. Even though she didn't appreciate the Ponies and their existence, she wasn't pleased with their troubles. "The Equestrials falter in their opening steps..." She said, "far sooner than I would have liked. How typical of them. Sadly, we must intervene on their behalf. Naycha's Tears! Four generators channel power to this so-called Daemon Gate. If we are to help these Equestrials, we must destroy the four generators first. Fortunately, we can use our Webway Gates to reach impassible areas and to bypass the Equestrial presence. They'll never know it was we who helped them." With that said, the Farseer disappeared, and reappeared near one of her Webway Gates at a different location. Now she had to destroy the generators.
