>Another night with the lads
-
>Well over a thousand stallions, placed under your command
-
>Most of them may live to see tomorrow's moon
-
>Maybe
-
>Among the revelry and jovial mischief, you elegantly climb onto the top of a wagon
-
>"Elegantly" is the operative word
-
>Their blackberry liquor has been known to stir spirits and exponentially bolster one's bravery
-
>You feel it righteously invade your system
-
>Enough to know what you're saying
-
>Enough to not care for the fallout
-
>Only when you ascend to what could be a crippling height do you plant your boots on a wrapped up banner and what feels like a half coil of rope
-
"MINIONS!"
-
>Your immense bellow causes most of the lads to shift their attention to you
-
"As you all know, tomorrow is bound to be glorious!"
-
>A number of stallions speak up
-
"Horrific!"
-
>More raise their voices
-
"A fucking massacre for all of those ruinous insects!"
-
>Half the camp roars out to match your vigor
-
>The other half may not be sober enough to tell this is your rousing last minute speech
-
"Our Princess, fairest of the night and our very own sweet release-"
-
>More raucous cheer and a few chuckles
-
"Have tasked us, this blasphemed rabble, without eliminating every bug from that little mound of shit!"
-
>You catch yourself at the last second
-
"With! They shall be... without their lives!"
-
>Given your own level of intoxication matching at least a third of the battalion, no one seems to care about the mis-step
-
"We are to wait until the rising sun. For our dearest lady's sister to guide us."
-
>You lean forward, nearly drooling from the alcohol and uninhibited urge to rip a living creature in half
-
"Now then... who wants to wait for some accursed morning star?"
-
>While the grand majority of stallions come from Princess Luna's realm, many are devout and joyous at the sun's ascension
-
>Most of the cheering you see, even from the Celestial soldiers, shows you that you aren't the only one with an itch
-
"Who wants to brandish arms, and rip out the beating heart of that villainous hive of love-struck whores?!"
-
>The feedback is beyond deafening
-
>If the changelings aren't high alert, they certainly are now
-
>The largely nocturnal Luna worshipping lads have always excelled at surprise raids and strikes
-
>Not excellent enough to not have casualties
-
>Each one has been replaced
-
>Each name has been burned into your skull
-
>Whether it's the overindulgence of alcohol, or the amount of furious spite, you feel something lurch up the back of your throat
-
>You manage to hold it in for now
-
"We're here. They're there. They've taken the form of our cherished, our beloved, and our friends."
-
>That rising bile isn't just bile
-
>It's hatred
-
>Sheer hatred
-
>You've killed your own friends and relatives so much you don't think you could even behold their true corporeal forms without flying into a frenzy
-
-
"They think!"
-
>Your voice could only quiver a fraction of your balled fists
-
"They think that will stop us! That we will falter! That we are sensible, passionate simpletons!"
-
>Some may call you stinking, blind drunk
-
>You may stink but it is rage that blinds you
-
"They think wrong! Every possible figure that has not stood before you this last month, and those who do not share our revelry and plain murderous glee, cut down!"
-
>The entire camp erupts
-
"C U T T H E M A L L D O W N"
-
>Without any further ceremony or care for preparation, within minutes the entire camp is destroyed through the sheer chaos of mobilization
-
>Your steed, Hollow Star, sees you to your saddle with your lance and trident
-
>An insistence on arms, as both fit for horseback combat and one makes it easy for even a blithering drunkard to utilize
-
>With inhuman, borderline demonic screams for vengeance and sheer hatred for other living creatures
-
>With moonlit dark fire and bright, omniscient blood
-
>You and your battalion crash into the hive
-
>Many take the forms of famous figures
-
>Mares of all kinds that beg for mercy
-
>Or foals that claim to need rescue
-
>Or even the Princesses who demand your hand and hooves
-
>All of them are shredded past the point of recognition
-
>From all that you care to gather, they change into black-shelled spawn once life leaves them
-
>Not all change back
-
>You've taught your legion well that some still cling to life, even if quartered
-
>Within hours you have led a horde of demons into what may as well be another layer of Hell
-
>The hive itself is lit aflame, providing enough vision to make anyone believe that the sun itself had crashed into the land
-
>You lackadaisically stroll through what isn't even a battlefield anymore
-
>A book smart mare asking you for help, skewered through the ribs
-
>A humanoid relative begging you to stop, head twisted off through the trident and pitched into the field of madness
-
>A copy of yourself, demanding you stop and take in the incomprehensible chaos that you have wrought under the command of a flawless being
-
>Stabbed and wrenched into a puddle that may yet turn into a collection of exoskeleton
-
>Only by the time the true sun rises is the deed done
-
>Casualties have rated maybe five, ten percent
-
>Most of which are the Celestian Guardsmares and stallions that faltered at the prospect of dispatching relatives
-
>Or
-
>Perhaps
-
>Were not familiar enough with your own that they were seen as enemies
-
>During the whirlwind of disgusting, wasteful expenditure of life you hardly bother to pay attention
-
>"We've set the hive's deepest nurseries to flame, commander."
-
>One of your most resilient stallions--whatever his name is--presents the information with a stoic expression
-
>The fatigue causes your body to twitch from strain and stress
-
>The murderous intent you had was professionally ejaculated onto the rather defensive opposition
-
-
"Good... those tan bags--charges."
-
>"Went off an hour ago. Unless they are able to burrow enough to escape the heat, they are no longer an issue for the Princess."
-
>That information brings such a solemn, borderline comforting breeze over your battered body
-
>Despite the punctures and blood loss, Equestrian unicorn magic has allowed you to last well beyond your natural expiration date
-
"Excellent... excellent."
-
>From where you are now, you can only hear cackling and the slow, gradual reclamation of good will and wit
-
>Many of the freshest transplants incur further casualties after the first exposure to doppelgangers and love starved bugs
-
>You can't blame them for such weakness
-
>It is what keeps them...
-
>Them
-
"It seems I have lost my wine."
-
>"And your arm, commander."
-
"Yes yes, minor details."
-
>Equestrian unicorn magic is magical indeed
-
"Bring at least the more entertaining one to me. As for the rest."
-
>You lift your only remaining arm, caked in blood and broken as it may be
-
>You don't feel it so that means it isn't a problem
-
"We return to camp within the hour. Once we rest and recover, we clean up and leave this mole hill a crater."
-
>"As you wish, commander."
-
>The stallion bows before turning away
-
>If you were quicker of wit, you may care about the green glimmer in the stallion's eye
-
>All the same, your work is done for now
-
>Maybe soon, you will be able to put this behind you
-
>Surely you will be able to move on and do as you've always wanted
-
>A peaceful little subsistence farm, with no concerns or stressors
-
>Surely you are not truly a half-destroyed monster that has become an avatar of bloodlust
-
>Surely
