24 Chapter 23

while in orbit above nikea on board, the Nightfall multiple screens light up as a small conference begins between what will eventually become the dark faction of the empire as on each screen was a primarch. One of pale skin with pitch black eyes greeted the rest, particularly to one of pale, almost sickly completion.

"Mortarion, how has your campaigns been?" asked konrad with an almost shining smile that to a normal human would find quite intimidating due to his sharp toothed maw.

"By all accounts, they have progressed well, but I would rather hear of your joint war against the hrudd as the data packet you sent painted a rather grim picture should they survive." Question Mortarion as he casts his gaze between perturabo and Konrad.

"On all accounts and records we've taken, the hrudd could've been a great danger to humanity with their migratory patterns along with new knowledge of even before humanity reached its peak. It's all fascinating stuff, to be honest, and none of it couldn't be recovered if it wasn't for Perturabo's competence in the operations and control of the battles and genius in inventing new weapons to face the threat with peak efficiency." I respond while the iron lord remained silent, but I could tell he was happy to have his actions validated not just in private but in the open in front of our brothers.

"Konrad, have you any clue to the reason of us being summoned here and not just us but all of our brothers?" Asked a bald man in silver and gold armor bearing a book upon his pouldren as clear curiosity could be read upon his face.

"Yes, Lorgar, I know the reason, and it is to call into question of unrestricted delving into psychic power, specifically sorcery. Personally, when it comes to the vote, I would be making a proposal of moderation." I answer Lorgar

With this news, many of these circles begin to mumble each going through thoughts faster than any human could hope to understand. Some( a certain cyclops) show offense while others show understanding, but all eventually look back to me and ask as one

"What is your plan?"

"Simple really, I will speak the truth of the warp and suggest that sorcery should be banned but not psykic powers on their own and to enforce it chaplains should be made from the most vetran astartes to watch for signs of corruption in our psykers." I answer as many emotions cross each of their faces .

"How dare you imply my legion could be corrupted by their power as it is one of the strongest sources of power we possess is from the warp as we controlled and dominated it to our will as we shape reality." Rants Magnus until I interrupted him.

"Such arrogance brother, do not think yourself stronger then father as you know nothing about what lurks in the dark and no matter what deals you make they will always want a price and that price usually is our humanity. You think yourself invincible, but know this brother, the being that you traded your eye to for power will lay low your entire legion, making them nothing more than abominations or mere dust." I grimly state as both anger and dread fill my voice of the possible future.

"So you know of these beings? Mind sharing with us, brother, for I can feel the dread from your emotions." asked one of the largest primarchs on screen with a shaved head and red tattoos of nuceria covering plenty of scars.

Looking around the screens at all the curious faces of my brothers except for lorgar as I long ago spoke of the true dangers of worship granted back when i killed to the traitors and purged his legion of the tai ted priests, it seemed to solidify his worship of father and created a deep hatred to what he views as the great enemy of our father and used this info to in his mind help fight it as after all if they worship father they would not feed chaos. Before I began to speak, I pressed a few buttons, turning the reality anchor on and expanding it with the help of my ships to my brothers ships so no entity could easedrop.

"Yes indeed, I know their true nature and some of their plans, but Father has asked me not to reveal them unless he deemed it necessary and to be honest brothers I deem it necessary now to break this word. The being in the warp are all in a way daemons with most just being extentions of four great evils that lay in wait as the grow in power from people knowingly or unknowingly worshiping them as each of these four hold power over many spectrums of emotion and acts but all are twisted to fit their dark agendas. One even proclaims himself a God of courage and honor, but truly, his worshipers are nothing but mad slaughters, and another says they are perfection incarnate, but they are nothing more than debauchery fueled monsters. Another claims to seek only change and knowledge, but they seek to change everything for the sake of change and some to merely destroy lives for his amusement in his schemes and he has already started to reach for one of us if he doesn't fix his mindset of the warp. As far as I can tell, we all have some type of psyker powers, each changing and adapting to our environment but to use one's outside of ourselves like casting great shields or raining fire frome the sky each gives an opening in our minds to either possess the person or to make them a gate way for them to breach reality to reek havoc on the mortal realm taking souls for their thirsting gods. So never trust the word of such creatures as each are all liars waiting for a slip in judgment or a crack in mental fortitude to exploit for their own ends." I finish my rant. I look around at the now grim faces and one pale one as it dawns on all just what lies in the abyss that constantly try to attract our gaze.

Before any of us could begin discussing again, the arrival of the Bucephelus is announced along with the rest of our brothers as we disembark to the surface to begin the trial on the use of the warp is to begin.

Hello author here

sorry for the long wait. I was quite busy with work but any way I just wanted to let yall know the next chapter would be a info dump but geared towards what has changed in the legions from cannon, and a few were unwritten like konrad telling lorgar of the warp but now I realize to those not used to 40k lore would be quite confused so the next one should help tell where some primarchs stand.

Thanks for reading.
