Drachmir actually chuckled. "Your as wise as Ever my friend. You sau Kel will cone aroubd inthe end? I think... I think your right. Call it a Gut ceeling, but I don't think anyones seen her true Intentions yet." Drachmir gave a quick signal for a left turn, before continuing. "Who knows, we might get lucky. She might deal with the Canned meat herdelf- If she gets that good.
Kel walked at Khanis' side. "We arent looking for anything, Really. Brothers leading us through the Labrynth tunnels, So we might avoid the grinding surface warfare. Its going to be a 3 day joyrney, with regular stops, but we should still arrive before the surface forces arrive at the Capital. Does that answer your question, oh Impatient one?"

Xile grinned at his words as he stowed the pistol back in his webbing, shaking his head. "You mistake me Sir. I am no more clever than any other run of the mill officer. Its being a farther that gives you this knowledge, no text book or demon can teach you that." after a few seconds after ending his sentence Xile realized what he said, zoning out of his surroundings as he recalled old memories.

Kara wasn't fully reassured, but it felt slightly more comfortable. "So be it.... whatever the God wants, I will have to give even if it is my mind..." Inside he could only think of rebellion and defiance, that would probably get him killed or worse. "I don't suppose you know what he wants," then he turned away, "of course you don't, no one ever has..." Perhaps Whitewind knew, Tzeentch likely willed him there.
"I guess I should leave, your mind had been.. interesting... he closed his eyes and began to weave the exit incantation ,"this should wake you up to, unless you want me to drag you around on your board a little longer." He smirked, trying not to think about what he'd just seen.

Euphrosyne grinned at him in what he was beginning to understand was a look of good humor for her seductive and menacing face, "No...I think that I've been vulnerable long enough."
Euphrosyne's eyes opened blinking as her vision cleared. She sat up slowly still feeling a slight link to Kara's mind. She moved off of the board taking it from the air as it turned off and strapping it to her back. She walked forward in front of Kara as if nothing had happened. She watched a cultist woman lagging behind under the weight of camping materials and she turned walking towards the woman and taking much of her load away shouldering it and stalking forward as if no weight had been added. She gritted her teeth not enjoying the extra weight.

ooc- *Sigh* I was hopping more people would post, but I guess I need to update Again.
ic- Drachmir turned another corner, and Stopped dead. Before the group was a large cavern, Lined with Crystals in every colour known to man- and some that defied description. "Don't stare too long... I don't know what they'll do to you. And don't touch them either. We're entering Hrud territory, and I don't want to attract the nasty buggers if we can help it." With that, He began to tread carefully through the Cavern.
As Xile walked through the cave a New voice crept in, over the other voices. "Xile... Xile. Trust In my words. There is a crystal in thsi cave you must find. It holds a secret you cannot afford to Pass up on. Find the crystal green, Behind the Equine head, beware the sleeping dragon, it knows every step you tread."
Kara felt whitewind's mood change. "Theres... something here..."

Euphrosyne nodded at Dracmir feeling no fear. Her race made her all but invulnerable to psychic effects. Especially well rested and alert she felt little doubt of her mind. She looked at Kara and the others pausing at the center of the room to be certain the others walked through without trouble. Cultists walked passed her and each time one would stray towards the crystals she would deliver them to the door herself and with one punch bring them back from whatever strange effect was going on. One managed to get past this and she ended him with a dagger to the back just as he was about to reach a crystal.
She collected the body coming near a rather tall pink and red crystal.

"As can I, I don't like it," Kara told Whitewind , his psychic ability magnifying the already potent effect. "They fill you up with greed, don't they?" Whitewind murmured as Kara eyed a pure white one. "I won't touch, don't worry, they are just interesting... and frustrating, I can't identify what they are.." Whitewind grew slightly louder ,"don't grow to interested, that's the danger.." Kara was even more interested now ,"what do you know about them? You don't see to fond." Kara continued to move barely able to resist glancing at the crystalline walls.

Whitewinds Emotions change from Nervous to angry. "These are Natural, except from the ones you cant seem to look at. Those... Are tainted. By Slaaneshi and Tzeentxhian maguc both. Greed and desire... Promising knowledge. Theres a Daemon... Controlling jit. But where?" As Kara looked back at the Crystal, He saw the flash of a horse like- head, but with piercing Eyes of yellow with snake-like pupils. It was gone imeediately, but its mere appearance seemed to have taken hold of Karas heart with an Icy grip of terror. Then it was over. Only Kara could hear a Deep laughter in her mind.
The reddish Crystal Eurosophene was near twinkled in the light. As she looked at it, She saw something in it- An image of her, but even more beautiful than she was now, dressed in Ger combat gear byt With a pendant round her neck- containing a red Crystal. She saw the Image Fade, And another take its place, An image showing her the Face of her Sorcerer Master, smiling gently, and a hand veckoning yowards her. It felt compelling, in a natural level.
Kel snarled. "Blood on the air. Blood, Sex.... Death. Theres something here, and it has a taste for flesh."

Xile jerked his head up at the sudden mention of his name even though he knew it didn't come from an external source. He cocked his head to the side and listened to the voices odd request, but he knew it wasn't any of the normal voices. Never the less if it was in his head it must be a voice of Nurgle as pykers found it near impossible to even read his mind due to the constant shrieking.
Xile shook his head like a dog with wet ears and looked around, his gaze passing over several of the crystals but he ignored the images of his family in them. He knew they where dead and the only place they now existed where his head, however crazy it sounded. He then spotted a promising alcove over to the left hand side of the cave and carefully he started to navigate his way over to it. The voice was gone now but that had happened before when Nurgle sent one of his more powerful daemons to deliver an important message, but there was something that put him on edge about it. Even though the other voices hadn't changed their tune they now had an almost disproving tone to their song. But then again it was probably just his imagination.

Kharax was frozen. He had heard Drachmir, but his voice had seemed like a distant echo in his mind. Instead, there was a promising voice, one urging him to take the blood red crystal and use it's power to raise himself above even the Space Marines. Kharax resisted it, knowing that all the voice was was a daemon trying to influence him.
Suddenly, a sharp, lancing pain shot into his head. Kharax dropped to his knees and opened his mouth to scream, but nothing came out. He writhed on the ground as the pain would leave and then stab back, as if he was being tortured by the Dark Eldar. Kharax finally managed to let out a inhuman scream as his vision slowly turned black...

Euphrosyne had taken a step back at the image of herself. She had no interest in herself and she knew it was something trying to draw at her emotions. But then she saw him and she stepped closer her hand reaching out towards him slightly. She could hear his whispers"oh Euphrosyne...mira...my beauty...how could you..." then she remembered, she'd killed him for his betrayal. She tossed her hair angrily over her shoulder lifting the body of the cultist up over her shoulder and casting one last glance back at the crystal. It was this glance that did her in.
What she saw on the surface of it none could say the saw or knew but the effect was immediate, she threw the body with inhuman strength and grace so that it flopped near Xile and then turned back walking towards the Crystal her hand out and intent upon touching it. Her fingers met the smoothe surface. She didn't care that it was a trick, she had willingly given herself over to what she saw there.

Karas eyes widened momentarily, then he looked confused. "If that wasn't you, who was it?" he asked Whitewind, the image of.. that still fresh in his mind. "Why don't you reveal yourself," he began out loud ,"I doubt any of us will fall for your petty illusions..." then he saw the look in Eurosyphynes eye as she headed for the crystal. Kara sighed, maybe he'd underestimated the master of the crystals. "Eurosyphyne... Eurosyphyne!" He true to break her trance with his voice but that wasn't working. He sighed again, she wasn't going to be happy about this. He closed his eyes and readied something simple, it wouldn't cause permanent damage but it would sting, a lot. He opened his eyes, there was no eye contact so it'd be slightly less powerful. She could hear a piercing high note that made a migraine instantly erupt in her head like a electric shock. She shook visibly but that didn't mean he'd broken her trance. "I hope you weren't going to fall for whatever it was showing you, they're amateur illusion!" He smirked, half hoping what he said was true.

Whitewind remained silent, or was drowned out by Another deep wave of laughter. "Amateur, Am I? What about you, little host. You can barely use your powers. I could snap your mind right now." Whitewind finally found his Voice, and shouted "No!" The other voice stooped, Then its Prescence retreated.
Dravhmir ran to Kara and Eurosophene. "She touchdd one? No... No no no....Oh no." Drachmir drew his pistol."Keep your eyes peeled. Its bound to be around here." There was a Flash of eyes in the Crystal Eurosophene had held.
Kel broke from Khanis' side, and kicked Kharax in the head. "Snap out of It! Resist it, Warrior of Khorne. Clear your Mind! Daemons have no sway over you."
Xile got first glimpse of tge creature. Curled around sseveral Cystals was a Strange thing. Its head was horselinke, but its fur stopped and scales started from the Shoulders down. The rest of its body looked Draconic, but with grey scales and No breaksin its armour. Its long tail ended in a horse-tail plume, and its back legs had scaly hooves. It radiated unatural energy, And was terrifying to the eye. However, it was also sleeping. And Xile could see the green Crystal he sought- bu the creatures Head hooked around it.

Xile stared at the bizarre creature for a few seconds before carrying on. It didn't scare him but he had never seen something so strange. He shook his head again and grimaced. "The quicker I do this the sooner it will be over" he thought. He then pulled out the Auto pistol Kharax had given him before glancing back at the group. They seemed to be alive at least if not a little spooked, but not knowing what had happened with the Eldar Xile saw no danger in their situation and turned his attention back to the task at hand.
He started to cautiously tiptoe into the alcove and towards the creature's head having to avoid a coil of its body and several crystals before he got close. When he was within reaching distance Xile reached across with his left hand to try and give the gem a light tug to test how tight the creature held it, all the time his right arm with the pistol was pointed at what he assumed was one of its eyes, ready to shoot it as soon as it started to open.

ooc- Agian, I was hoping for more posts...
ic- The creaturetightened its grip round the gem the moment Xile touched it. However, Xile didn't need to do more than that before he saw a rush of images in his mind, a broken arm regenerating, a Huge, towering beast with a single, razor blade horn, A horse head breathing flames and two images, one of a scarred girl, spattered in blood and screaming in fury, the other a scarless Kel, crying over an unseeable dead body. Then, reality returned, time enough to see the Creatures tail sweep Xile off his feet.
Drachmir looked round as Xuile flew back into view, as did Kel. "What the..." He muttered, befiore a deafening roar shook the cave. Then, a stream of fire engulfed the trooper, his only his shilouette remaining in the stream of yellowish flames.
Xile could feel the flames engulf him, and the pain of his flesh searing away. he couldn't move, his arm was broken and his ears were filled with a rushing sound. Then the fire stopped. Xile could see the horse-headed creature advancing from its little cave, dragonlike teeth bared. Stranger still though, was the feeling his Flesh was reforming over his bones.
