All she got were snippets.
“-ra? Oh Celestia, LYRA!”
“No, I told you to stay inside! You Pinkie Promised!”
“Bon-“ Lyra croaked out, but then the cacophony washed over her once more, drowning out everything else. She could not hear, she could not feel, she could not see, her senses overwhelmed by ever-present, all-consuming noise.
And what wasn’t taken by the noise was filled with the impossible image of It.
The cacophony ebbed and flowed.
“-eed to get her to Canterlot-“
“-y should I trust-“
“-rain won’t be here for another-“
“-aud could take her, she can’t get any worse-“
“-only way-“
“-hurry-“
An unfamiliar, monotone voice. “Hold on.”
A moment of weightlessness.
Another unfamiliar voice. “-blazes are you doing-“
“-Pie, Queen in Pink.”
“Maud Pie, Queen in-“
“-Truthseeker-“
And, suddenly, a voice in her head, fighting to be heard over the cacophony. Miss Heartstrings! I can help you, but I need your consent! Do I have your permission to affect your mindscape?
Lyra said something that she hoped sounded like a yes.
And suddenly, everything ceased. The cacophonous music abruptly relented, the images of its master faded from her memory, and her tumultuous mind at last grew still.
Lyra slipped into a blissfully dreamless sleep.
Lyra been blest by a deity of truth, how is she affected by a eldritch abomination, shouldn't she be protected? Not much of a point of being a truthseeker otherwise, if shes going to go mad ones she learns it.

Lyra's ability shows her the Truth of things, even if that truth is a painful or dangerous one.

As the Deity said, "Truth can do Great Good, but it can also do Great Evil." A little paraphrased but still gets the God's message across to you.

So, my question is this. What is she supposed to do if something like this shows up and isn't friendly? Especially, since the reason she is an Owl is because of her ability to see 'The Truth'?
