//------------------------------// // Brotherhood // Story: PonyHammer 40,000: Magic of War | Dark March // by Dragon Heart //------------------------------// In the heart of the corrupted stronghold, the two Unicorns, Bonelor and Darcon, were commencing their dark summoning rituals upon the massive Warp Portal that stood before them. "With the thirty-seven keys of Tzeentch," said Bonelor, "we open the way for our siblings." Behind the Unicorns, Minotaur Berserkers were pumping their chainaxes and growling with bloodthirsty desires. "With the thousand whispers of Slaanesh," said Darcon, "we call to them." The portal started to emit its horrific power as it slowly opened. "With the twelve plagues of Nurgle we fell their enemies." said Bonelor as the portal roared open. "And with the mighty axe of Khorne," said Darcon as Discord units flooded out from the portal, "we cut open the world for them!" "Yes," said Skarsend, "come forth to bear the Word of Discord! Hear my warning unbelievers, carried to your minds by the power of the Prince of Excess himself. We have raised altars in this land so that we may sacrifice you to our Gods." Elsewhere, a Unicorn casted a spell on captured Celestial Pony Marines, binding them in chains of warp energies. "Veterans of ten millennia of unholy war wait to grind you beneath the treads of their mighty hooves. The chosen of Khorne hunger to add you to their bloody tally. The Blood God himself has marked this land and will claim your skulls for his throne." At one of the said markers, Pony Marines exploded in a bloody mess when it released a wave of warp energies. "There is no hope in opposing the inevitable. Put down your lives, unbelievers, and bow before the Forces of Discord Undivided." _____________________________________________________________________________________ At the Blood Phoenixes base, Goliath could hear the fell voice of the Discord Lord himself speak in his ears, even though they were far apart. "Welcome Captain." Skarsend said, making the Captain grimace in hatred. "Have you seen the truth at last?" "I won't listen to your lies, heretic!" Nule hissed. "Then I won't lie to you, Sibling." Skarsend stated. "You've been lied to long enough."
