ooc (Lets just start somewhere...we know the flow of history, lets play in this world...)
Brutus looked over the horizon to see the advancing dots that were the Imperiums finest. He knew just looking there that it was over. Khorne had not answered his cries for help. None of the Three had heard. He felt rage at this. How long had Brutus served to be tossed aside just because of a little warp issue.
Behind him his men sat in waiting....knowing that the end was soon to come. Only a few more minutes before the armies of the cursed emperor reached him and his small group. They were out numbered...7 to 1.
He turned to his men who all sat in wait at the hill. He did not allow his fear to show. He was Brutus. He had single handedly conquered 10 planets in the name of Khorne. He would make the Imperium pay for each drop of blood spilled. "For Khorne!" he shouted as they charged forward blades humming in expectation of blood.
It all happened very quickly, so quickly that he was astonished. As he watched the fire of his enemies stream towards him he saw a burst of dark red light. From it stepped a woman scantily clad in red. A long cloak made of fur from a tzeentch daemon hide and trimmed with the claws of khorne daemon skulls. She was a vision of beauty as she pulled forth a crystal red heart shaped gem and turned pointing at one of his men who began to sweat out blood like a shower. The blood rippled and stood suddenly copies of proud berserkers all prepared to fight and kill. "Loyal Brutus and his men...Khorne has not forsaken you...I have come to give you victory and then take you away with me...there is a plan...we will no longer suffer defeat at the hands of the Imperium." Brutus surged forward in rage his hand reaching to grab the woman's wrist. How dare she. It was then that her hood fell and he stopped his hand bare inches from hers as he knelt the men following suit. "Great Mistress...I apologize..." she grinned as the dark red light moved to swallow him and his men, "It is quite alright Brutus..I know you would never raise your hand against me if you know me."
Several Weeks later...
Brutus stood at a small table of men. He knew some of them. All were men of Khorne. He watched the woman who had brought them together stride in. He was always astonished by how truly lovely she was. She waved to them all and he admired her hand, so delicate yet he knew how she wielded a blade...he remembered that night not so long ago...
*Flashback*
Brutus's blade cut forward and up ripping the blade of one of the other High commander's blades slipped from his hand and Brutus grinned in truimph, "Next time you dare question my suggestions and call me a fool I will rip that head from its shoulders..none are better in Khorne's army than me."
A cold taunting voice cut through the air and hit the back of his head as the other commander nodded and scurried away, "Everyone Brutus? Really everyone?" Brutus turned to see the face he already knew, "Lady Vaer..I could best you in a sword fight..perhaps not in a fight to the death..but a sparring match favors me." She stepped forward smiling a taunting look on her face. "Really...And if you are wrong..." she grinned the cloak falling from her shoulders to yet another revealing outfit. Brutus watched her unsheate her sword as he moved to throw off the chest plate he wore, "We fight until someone stops or loses their sword...If I am wrong I will spend the week in the bloodstone mines working as a slave.." he grinned at her as he crossed his blades with her.
The fight was fast. He felt cheated as he quickly realized that this was not the finest display of skill possible from The Lady of Steel. Several times in the match he had seen her pause and shake or faulter. He had seen the tattoos on her bare stomach and breast constrict. Yet he had not stopped himself from eventually ripping the blade from her hands and enjoying the sound of it clattering to the floor. He stalked forward to her panting form lifting the willowy woman who seemed so commanding seconds ago up and slamming her against the wall, "You are weak..the stories they tell of you so strong..but a child would last longer..." he watched as her eyes stared at him black with hunger as he considered her gaze and then nodded simply dropping his sword to the ground as he felt her teeth sink into his neck.
*end flashback*
What had come after still made him glow with pleasure and pride. He was brought back to reality by the owner of the hand that had sent him far away, "Brutus...you agree with our plan to destroy the Imperium homeworld as a sacrifice large enough to mend the rift?" he nodded simply, "So long as we can get the staff and spirit stone from the Eldar library..Yes."
