Chapter 13: The Path of Perversion
Tzeentch the god of these pesky lords of change just had an uninvited guest from one of his brothers and by far has the worst temper of them all, Khorne..."
Iacobus's words made my face turn grim. no chaos god willingly allows another to enter his or her realm, this can mean many different things, but my conclusion is that they both are working together on something, and I can only assume that Nurgle and Slaanesh have parts to play as well, my troubles have seemed to have grown. I stood there my arms crossed, unmoving like a statue from Holy Terra ever watchful of the citizens who live their lives without care only enjoying what they know. Iacobus stepped forward looking into my eyes, " Do you still wish to follow this path?" He stood there unfazed with cold eyes yet showing me my options lad before me but my decision, my path was not at fault, only my capabilities of what to expect from going down this path. I locked eyes with Iacobus " You know my answer, however, I will need help from those I trust, will you aid me, will you help me grow stronger? I don't understand these powers for I was never born with them but I have seemed to be chosen for this task." Iacobus shared a knowing smile like he knew my answer, " I will help you and you will learn all I know about the Warp and how to use it as well as control your powers for I do not know what power you weld but will promise to do my best."
We spent many sleepless days and nights, training my newfound albites but honestly, I don't know how long we have been here. The result of my training has come. I now understand the Warp more and see more clearly than ever before. I can use this energy or power to boost my physical body and enhance the weapons I use becoming sharper or more effective. I know now that my powers are similar to a psyker but more I can create lighting from my fingertips and through fireballs strong enough to melt and destroy the crystal spires that surround us leaving holes our blowing them apart, I have even mastered the ability to cover myself with protective shield that can help protect me from some forms of physical and psyker magic. while practising my newfound traits I began to feel like I was relying less on my connection to the Warp and more on myself. However this is not the time to think about this, " We should move on to our next target." I started with a serious tone and wanting to try my powers on these bastards who think they can manipulate me in their games.
letting my frustration out I unleashed my warp lightning that tore apart the ground like wet cardboard staining the ground black. It felt good to exercise my new powers, but I thought I would have felt different when using them, When Iacobus was training me and explaining the fundamentals to me, I told him what I felt and he looked puzzled, "These new powers seemed to have tapped into something else, but you will find out, hopefully soon." His words always spoke the truth even when they were grim and always tried to make me see a silver lining. Iacobus appeared from out of my view, " What are you thinking about?" I looked at him still wearing my helmet and a sudden thought crossed my mind he had never seen my face. " Oh, nothing just waiting for our next target, The Emperor waits for no man." revisiting my previous feelings of trying my new powers to defeat the enemies of The Emperor.
Iacobus heaved a sigh, " I am not sure you are going to like this one." Why is he so sure I won't enjoy killing my enemies, " There are only two enemies to face, we are nearly free of this fucking place." Iacobus started to walk away, I presume in the direction of the target, " When I say we, I mean you. We are going to face the one god who can't keep anything in her pants, let alone anything covering her body, dear sweet Slaanesh." I started to walk towards him as he spoke but that last word, that name was what stopped me dead in my tracks and that let me think of a single word to describe this situation for me, "FOOBAR!"
I can fight and win against some of the toughest enemies to live and breathe but this one is going to suck; I am hoping I still have some of my natural charm left in this tired body of mine. We walked through the domains of demons fighting little skirmishes, using this time to test my abilities against my foes, turning a hulking mass of flesh into piles of ashes, shrugging off the odd bolt of warp magic and if one got too close to me and tried to hit me, my barrier would deflect most of the damage allowing me to smite my foe back to what black hole he came from. I saw these skirmishes as practice at first but suddenly felt sad that the challenge of fighting any enemy was slowly going away, however the odd irregular would make an appearance and give me a warmup, before barbequing it or slicing it from stem to stern.
"We made it, and why didn't you help out at any point you wet dog?" I stood there at the edge of Slaanesh's territory. Iacobus walked casually behind me like he was taking a stroll through the park, " I thought it was good practise for you to try your new skills, you overgrown bleached carrot!" I stood their mouth wide open trying to think of something to retort his last statement but couldn't, " Damn, that was good, now that we are here what now? Oh, and if you say you are going to shoot me out of a macro cannon or make me ride lightning, I will shoot you." Iacobus stood there unfazed by my words either not caring or not understanding the weight of my words, " Sadly that would be too easy, we are going to pass through all of her trials to get close to the demon that guards the entrance to her palace." I stood there confused by the change," Why has this demon retreated to its master's side and not running its domain?" Iacobus pondered the question I had asked, " I honestly don't know but we need to find our way in, we must start on the clearest path to our end goal." I agree with Iacobus's decision for it is sound and logical.
Unnoticed by the two of them a portal of pink and purple appeared from nothing and on the other side stood a shadowy figure with three violet eyes steering into their backs.
