The War of Ages

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

[Roxa]

"Okay lets get the show on the road!" Roxa yelled stepping out the front door followed by Ty who still was holding onto Solara's hand. He opened a warpgate that showed a planet below, and readying himself to step through spread his black wings.

[Ty]

Following suit Ty poured some energy into helping Roxa open the gate. He looked at Solara and smiled. For so long now she had stood by him, no matter what he did. Spreading his own pearl white wings he opened a connection between their minds.

'Solara whats wrong? Are you sure you want to come, you could stay if you wish.' He thought knowing she would hear him.

[Seer]

"I have fear and therefor I have weakness, but without fear I would be dead." Seer whispered to himself following Ludvig. "I shall come with you Inquisitor." He said

[Kilva]

Kilva doubled over in pain, a side effect of being the psyker of Khorne for so long, she had massive streaks of pain that she wished would either stop or kill her. "God dammit, son of (please do not swear), mother (please do not swear), stupid Lady Parts, go to hell!" She yelled violently until the pain sudsided

[Azazel]

Smiling Azazel had begun to plot, Khorne had entered the room some time ago along with Nurgle and Tzeentch.

"The new soldiers have been marked." He yelled "Let us feast in honor of the growth of my army! Khorne bring us some blood, Mark fetch the cultist and tell them to bring out the food, Tzeentch where is Slaanesh? I want some daemonettes to put on a show for us!"

[Esiphas]

(sorry guys. I have been stuck in a place wih no internet connection whatsoever. It was a little hellish, but...

Anyhow, My characters are, assumedly, Going along with whatever Should have happened. Jack will have resisted any attempt to mark him and Harry has aken Nkarn with him. They are meeting with Ludvig and the others, and Caith will be along. Finally, Ignore Morts posts, i made a bit of a mistake there. Mort has been silently observing.)

Harry followed the others through the warp gate, Carrying Nkarn despite his power armour. He touched town Nect to Another inquisitor, who had also brought a few freinds aparrantly. Setting Nkarn on his feet, Harry landed and offered a hand to Ludvig. 'Hello.'

Caith's drop pod began its decent through the atmosphere, hurtling towards the ground. 'Lets end this...'

Banshee sat at a table on his own, sipping black fluids that no mortal could digest. He was reading a book, taken from Tzeentch's library, about the ancientsorcery used in the days before Humanity took to the stars, or even built citys.

Jack trained over and over again in the battle simulator. He had taken a scythe, and was proving he still knew how to use it.

[carnofex]

mark did as he was told ordering the cultist to bring the food in at once. as the cultist did so mark mouthed the words. blood storm. as the last word was said it started to rain psyker blood

[Geneva]

"Very well," agreed Ludvig, "Tsu'Gai, you say you can build some temporary defense turrets with those drones? Search the battlefields below. See if you can scavenge anything of use. Just stay clear of the heretics for now. Nothing fancy. Time is of the essence. If it can shoot straight, it will do. In the meantime, I'm going to try and figure out our new friend here...."

He pondered over the blind psyker. Rogue psykers made him uncomfortable unless he was putting a bullet through their brains. But if Flaron spoke the truth, he would have to make do.

"We'll be here when you return," he said to Flaron.

He turned back to Seer.

"So, what's your part in all of this, anyway?"

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

[Seer]

"I'm an outcast, I wasn't a psyker at first but I was exiled to the warp. The energy caused me to go blind but granted me psychic abilities. The shadows I was born with, an ancient race of elementals only I know how to control shadows or at least I think I am the only." Seer said a blank look on his face as he explained, "Azazel came to me, offered me a spot at the head of his army, I declined and now he wants to kill me. He is trying to unite the warp under his control."

[Geneva]

Ludvig winced.

Just great. A warp tainted seer...

He recollected himself.

"So you know this Azazel? You've been in his presence? Is he Imperial? Xenos? "

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

[Seer]

"Excommunicate inquisitor actually, he was a heretic even when in Ordo Hereticus. A double agent for Khorne himself." Seer said "I'm not evil if thats what your thinking. I've never killed a man in my life without being almost killed myself. And only those against the imperium."

[Roxa]

Roxa and Ty stepped through the portal at the same time. Seeing the shadows dancing at Seer's feet they were shocked. "I thought we were the only ones." Roxa said to Seer.

[Esiphas]

Caiths pod smashed into the earth metres away from Ludvig and the others. Caith sprinted out, followed by Another load of people- Nkarns warband. Nkarn turned to Ludvig. 'Inquisitor Ludvig Yes? I am Lord Inquisitor Nkarn Fenix, Ordo Malleus. And as you asked about azazel... I have had the displeasure of facing him in combat. He is a total coward.'

[Geneva]

Ludvig smiled.

"You are perceptive. Even for a blind man. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like you nor do I like Flaron. It's nothing personal. I'm an Inquisitor. It's my nature. Even with Xenos I trust only a select few. But there is definitely a great evil here. And, given my situation, I have no reason not to beleive you. And for that I count you as an ally."

He turned away and looked around the hillside.

"You haven't shot me in the back yet and you seem to respect the Imperium. So I suppose I could at least learn to respect you."

He looked at Seer, smiling again.

"Let's put it this way. By the end of this, if you stay by your word, I'll shake your hand rather than shoot you. And not a great many rogue psykers can say that."

"Never give your allies a reason to hate you." Ludvig's mentor had taught him that. He realised it was a lesson he still hadn't fully learned. But he'd cooperate with the psykers for now. If only for the good of the Imperium.

An Ordo Hereticus traitor, eh? he thought, Maybe Retson hadn't intentionally led him to the middle of nowhere after all.

"The Emperor watches over those who serve him, Seer. Whether that goes for rogues, I have no idea. But the Emperor's benevolence is limitless. He may see us through all of this yet. Now come on. I need to gather some debris for Tsu'Gai before I start singing altar hymns on you." He chuckled despite himself. "I don't want to leave you here on your own. Do you have a weapon?"

[Tyamius, Shadow Lord]

(Clopin take control of seer for a session between the shadow trio)

Seer had become engaged with Roxa and Ty over the last few seconds a swarm of shadows filled the area around them now.

Kilva was in steady conversation with Z-Aul in his room.

[Azazel]

"Let the blood flow my friends!" Azazel yelled as Marks psyblood poured from the ceiling. They feasted long into the night, Azazel withdrew to his quarters and slept for several hours until he was awakened by a vision.

{The Vision}
The gods were sitting round a table scowling Azazel at its head. Aeris holding blades to his throat and Tzeentch laughing. The spear was on the table in several pieces one for each god and an orb with each fragment.

[Frontier Guide]

Ooc: ( where Is astral knight I can't post until he does)

[Esiphas]

(Genevaman, My character is talking to you you know)
(and i have no idea what sort of things seer might say)

Banshee Could feel Azazels worrys. He reached out psychicly, and then entered his dream, seeing what he saw. When he withdrew he smmiled a crooked toothed smile. 'Oh Azazel... Your going to fall my friend. And i won't be here tp catch you.'

[Geneva]

(OOC: Whoops! Sorry! I must have missed the post somehow. How did I not see that? Just assume everything Ludvig said was right before Nkarn showed up.)

Ludvig blinked. Another interloper. And a Lord Inquisitor, no less. He noticed he had drawn a Stubpistol on the man without even realising it. He quickly holstered the gun and bowed.

"Lord Inquisitor," he said, "It is reassuring to see the Ordo Malleus has taken action in these matters."

It was also reassuring that a Lord Inquisitor was just as wrapped up in all of this as he was. Ludvig would be eaten alive in an Inquisitorial hearing on his own for these events, but with a man of Nkarn's stature, he might see through all of this yet. Assuming he survived of course.

(Sorry had a really busy weekend. But since I have time now here is a good post.)


Aeris had not enjoyed the feast. Psyker blood did not please her as it did others. It tasted like what she assumed her son would taste like and this only made her feel worse. Through the night Azezal would glance at her from time to time and she always did her best to look like she was enjoying herself but she would have rathered spent the evening locked in a duel with Khorne getting her ribs broken then sit at a table with blood raining down on her food.

So instead she spent the evening picking at her food with a disinterested glistening, silver fork and knife and pondering why she’d been so out of it since she’d left the comfort of her flower covered planet. Something was wrong with her and it wasn’t physical. She would have to restart her mental training. She’d given up on it when Khorne was protecting her mind… but no one was protecting her now.

As the feast drew to a close she did the polite thing and led both Jack and Banshee to the rooms in the east wing of Azezal’s dominion giving them the empty suites left “Anything you desire within reason can be yours.” She grins her teeth showing as she continues, “Rest well and welcome to Azezal’s army.” She turns her skirts sweeping around her as she walks towards her shared room with Azezal. As she steps in she senses something amiss and she walks forward towards him and sits besides his sleeping form at the edge of the bed and shakes him slightly, “Azezal.. Azezal…” as he begins to rouse she reaches out touching his sweat covered head gently whipping it away with the edge of her sleeve, “What is wrong… Your sleep is uncomfortable.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kes grins at her two children who are disappointed at Harry and Nkarn leaving. She kneels hugging her boys and kissing them each on the cheek, “Neji and Korvus I love you both more than life itself. I want you to remember that. Dada feels the same. You are our greatest joy.” She pauses ruffling Neji’s hair who looks close to tears, “If either or both of us don’t come back remember we love you everyday and twice on Sundays.” Korvus looks at her, “Who take care you die?” she smiles at Korvus, “Mama and Dada have lots of friends. Roxa or Ty would take care of you. If they don’t come back then Kaylee knows what to do.” She smiles kissing them again as her pristine white wings unfurl and she steps back, “Be good. I love you. Protect the biscuits.” She steps back opening her portal and when she finishes she steps out besides Harry her blades glittering as she looks at him, “Let’s do this thing.”
…………………………………………………………………………………………........
Solara smiles at Ty as their minds connect *No. I want to stay with you… I am just worried is all. It feels like we’ll never be done fighting… I feel like Kes does I am sure.*
As Ty and Roxa step in with the Seer she withdraws from Ty’s mind allowing him privacy in whatever is going on.

She looks at the new people about them. One is an Inquisitor. Almost naturally her skin crawls looking at him as she thinks of her years as a test subject. Inquisitors had been brought in to torture her mentally. At the time it had only been painful and scary for her. She’d never have guessed that they had been trying to make the chemical substances work on her. He notices her staring at him her eyes seem natural but she is back to biting her lip. She closes her eyes as a way to avoid his gaze and she begins to scan the area mentally for anything that could shoot. Each time she comes across something that could work or does she jerks her head and it comes flying out of the destruction and slams into the ground near them. This process continues until she has swept clean the area nearest to them. A pile of turrets and guns alike sit before her and her eyes open as she glances about uneasily. “These are all the weapons in a 10 mile circle around us. Any further and you’ll have to walk because I can only sense them… I can’t lift them up from that range.”
………………………………………………………………………………………………

Z-Aul sits opposite Kilva his hand is in a drink stirring it in a unconscious way. She is on about how she has no where to go and he is sitting in his chair thinking that he doesn’t like people in his space. Yet in his mind she is prattling on about how no one wants her. It’s all he can do to not kill her just to put her and himself out of misery. “I really feel for you I do.” He smiles at her as pleasantly as possible, “But I do not like people in my space. I am very particular about everything in my dwelling space. Perhaps you should join Azezal I hear they treat theirs very well.” He puts his drink down standing and walking over to his computer and seeing if he has any more job offers. None yet. He checks his account balance pleased to see the money for his last job is already there.

Having dismissed Kilva as leaving “soon” he begins to work on his newest project. His hands are deft as he begins searching the database for her… where did she go… “Dammit!” he yells fiercely at the screen as yet again access denied pops up. He plugs some codes in. The words ETA 4 days. He groans angrily as he returns to checking the job list.

Kilva feels something off as a cultist appears behind them, “Kilva… You look lovely as usual. How is poverty treating you?” the cultist sneers, “Torra Z-Aul I have a job offer for you from the highest.” He holds out the packet “It pays any sum you can think of. If you complete this job you can live you life out in riches.” Z-Aul nods taking the packet. The cultist watches him as he removes the files and flicks through the quickly, “Harry… Kes… and their children Neji.. Korvus.” He looks at the cultist, “I can do this. But I won’t kill children. That isn’t right.” The cultist cackles, “You will. If you don’t then the deal is off. Besides if you do I am allowed to reveal who your true mother is.” He grins maliciously. In two seconds Z-Aul has grabbed a blade from under the desk and embedded it in the cultist’s shoulder so forcefully that the cultist stumbles back “WHO IS SHE. STOP PLAYING WITH ME!” he screams as the cultist disappears into the warp. Leaving Z-Aul shaking with rage and holding his head.

[Esiphas]

(it's ok. By the way, Caith is an Inquisitor too, she's just turned up,)

Nkarn's mask covered his face, but his stance changed into a more relaxed stance as Ludvig lowered his pistol. 'Thank you for that. *cough cough*'

Harry is thinking about Neji and Korvus, back at their home. 'I wonder. Will they be alright? Maybe... Yes. I will call him now...' He places his fingers on his temple. 'Mort? I need you to watch my childen closely. I belive there is a risk to them. Do that and i'll call us even.'

Mort, in his reality, adopted the form of an 18 year old with a friendly face. 'Ok... Neji and Korvus...' He opened a portal into Harrys home, the stepped through. 'Hey? Neji and Korvus? Your dad sent me to look after you...'

Banshee thanked Aeris for her kindness and began to rest in his room. Jack however, mumbled something, never making eye contact and shufling his feet. He still remembered how Aeris had treated him, So kindly, at least compred to the others, when Banshee had been inside of him. 'You wanted that artefact yes? When Banshee was part of me? I still have it. Do you still want it?'
