The Emergence

Unknown Krill Dreadnought(Title picture)

"Hurry and get the ritual ready we must hurry" A hive wizard summoned thralls to do his bidding. 

The HIve were losing on all sides. Morale was low for the krill as they had lost multiple leaders to the light and its protector. 

"Vruah!" The sound of moving machinery and doors echoed the halls of the lost dreadnought. Hive magic surrounds the ship but not a single Knight or soldier is in sight. 

The Krill Wizard opened the last Corridor leading to the throne room. He ordered his thralls to search for the coffin. He hurred summoned hundreds to search for the God. The shackled son of Oryx. 

They found it. 

"I found it," He said 

A coffin lay deep in the throne room surrounded by hive magic but it seemed Oryx's magic was dwindling and losing its strength. He Relaxed and prepared to awaken Oryx Son. Sigils and a large quantity of hive magic arose from the wizard. 

"Pssh" The magic dissipated from the coffin. The casing shattered has extreme pressure exuded from the coffin.

The Wizard was forced to kneel crushing him. The surrounding area of the throne glowed in hive magic has portals appeared around the dreadnought capital ship. Krill ships emerged in the thousands ready to join their master journey. They were summoned as soon they felt their master power. Across the galaxy hive knights that lead fleets came from hiding to join their elite.

Back within the capital ship the son of Oryx awoke. Standing on his feet. The go's resembled Oryx another son of Crota but instead bigger, with his armor possessing no weakness. His eyes glowing dark green eyes exude strong hive magic. He looked around sensing his fleet teleport within the system thousands of hive ships surrounding the Dreadnought.

Looking back at the crushed Wizard who awakened him from his forced slumber of his father. He wasn't really in slumber but was just imprisoned in his throne world. (au: massive coliseum) During that time his brood learned new designs for ships. He wanted this new ship's design made quickly once freed from his imprisonment.

"Thrall where is my father" he ordered.

My l-lord grave news awaits you; your father has been slain by the he-" Before he could finish his skull was crushed from the pressure. Mucrux turned away summoned a portal and appeared in his command room.

Rage burned within him.

'Who dares kill a god' he said in his head thinking how such a thing could happen. Such a disgrace to their lineage.

'Who killed him, I must find out'

Mucrux summoned his war council which consisted of multiple wizards and knights all wearing yellow markings shaped like a cross along their skulls. This was his brood. His fleet.

"I want the forward fleet to conquer the neighboring planets. I need thralls" he ordered. Mucrux always enjoyed slaughtering things. According to his father, he had to quench the thirst for a wrym god. He never saw his father imprison him after his aunt's death. Mucrux gave his will as his massive hive fleet split conquering different planets. He needed to reach the sol system, but he was too far. Multiple systems between them.

Mucrux wanted revenge. He summoned his engineers and architects in front of him.

"Master you have summoned us" he once resembled an acolyte a basic soldier of his krill army.

"Have you finished what I've ordered thralls?" he said. He was looking into new ship designs, especially ships that focused on carrying extra smaller ships. He wanted the opposition to feel pressure on all sides. He was planning on creating small craft attack ships that fight an acolyte. He knew most of kin corrupted other ships and used their internals for war but Mucrux wanted his design since it required less effort and material. sending his thralls away he stood surrounded by his loyal guard powerful knights powered and protected by his magic making them immortal. 

"Laxis I want you to send a fleet to find this sol system and set a teleportation point" he commanded. Laxis Kneeled and departed to gather his Warships. Mucrux knew his father was powerful which confused and sorely angered him since he wanted to be the one to slay his jailer, but the thought dissipated replaced with curiosity about who or what killed his father. Mucrux sensed a magic wound on the Wizard he killed. Mucrux remembers back when a race passed the ability to create such wounds, but he wiped their species. He wanted to check if there was any evidence left that would show what killed his father.

Mucrux sensed one of his forward fleet ships struggling. Surprised he checked what was going on.

This battle intrigued Mucrux. He saw his soldiers forced to a stop.

Pov change.

Invasion of Phecavis

"Get more krill to the ground and take this planet or I will kill you myself, now hurry take this planet!" A hive knight ordered his fleet of warships. Krill transport ships emerged from the warships and commenced landing. One of many species settled on this planet was putting up a good fight. 

The Elinski is a species well known for their weird weaponry and spacecraft. The Hive commander knew it was going to be difficult to conquer this planet. He decided he must go himself and his guard. The hive knight summoned a portal and joined the fray as soldiers from the walls to acolytes fired their weapons toward the elinski. Looking around he saw many bodies scattered across grassy battlefields. It didn't before projectiles in his direction forcing him to summon a barricade.

"Get the cursed ones and tear down that gate!!!"

The army was reorganized under new command. They focused on killing the snipers atop the wall and protecting the cursed ones. The cursed ones' only purpose was to sacrifice themselves but with Mucrux's power, they no longer die but instead possess the power to create explosions with their cursed energy gathering more worship from his brood.

It was time for their master to return.

Boom!

"Kill them all!!"
