[b]Astrid wanders the Bloodwraith, hunting down a imperial guard that had messed with one of Slaasesh's shrines, it was slow going through due to how big the ship was, so she took small breaks to think from time to time, she was on one right now.[/b]
"Why do I kill for Slaasesh? What made me decide to serve them?... Was I created? Or did I use to be mortal?...."
[b]She sighs and fiddles with a small pocket watch she found while exploring, checking the time.[/b]
"Ugh, I think this thing's broken. Oh well, I can always try to fix it....."
[b]She puts it away and lays on the rock she was on.[/b]
"Do I even have a purpose outside of service? Or am I just destined to be used and discarded?..... This is so annoying! I really wish I knew the answers to these questions....."

She can feel herself surging with power, like a wave of power rippling through her. It was like a large cloud of heat had taken up existence inside of her body. She felt herself grow stronger, much much stronger than before.
-
"This is wonderful..... I can't even describe it..... It's too amazing..."
-
[i][u]"Great power, is it not?"[/u][/i] He smiles. [i][u]"And it is only the beginning."[/u][/i]
-
"I can't wait for more..... Thank you for this..."
-
[i][u]"Oh, there is no need to thank me. In fact, I should be the one thanking you for accepting my offer."[/u][/i]
-
"R-Really?... I.... I don't know what to say...."
-
[i][u]"You needn't say anything. Once I ascend into godhood, we can be together. How does that sound to you?"[/u][/i]
-
"It sounds perfect... I'll help you no matter what, for my heart belongs to you."
-
He smiles. [i][u]"my heart is linked to yours, my queen."[/u][/i]
-
[b]Astrid smiles warmly at him and nods.[/b] "I live to aid you, my king."
-
[i][u]"Then if you are ready, we shall begin our operation."[/u][/i]
-
"I'm ready to go."
-
He stands from his throne, opening a portal.
-
[b]Astrid gets off her throne and walks towards it.[/b]
-
As she approaches it, she already gets blown with a whiff of the pustulent, disgusting air. [i][u]"Let me through first. I will mask our presence."[/u][/i] Noiratrom steps through the portal.
-
[b]Astrid nods and waits for him to pass through, following him once he's in [/b]
-
They were inside what seemed to be a castle built for a giant, with pestilent reeking at every corner. Before she could draw breath, a bubble appeared around her mouth. [i][u]"Careful. The air here is thick with filth. A single breath could mean death to you."[/u][/i]
-
"Alright, thanks for the warning. I'll be careful to not pop the bubble, I rather not die in this disgusting place..." [spoiler]daemons that are Slaashi hate Nurgle, right? I think he's Slaasesh's rival[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]I think so.[/spoiler] He focused. [i][u]"She will most likely be in his main chamber. Let us hurry. I have managed to send him a viable distraction, that Tzeentch challenged him to a magick duel. It should give us some time."[/u][/i]
-
"That's good, it should provide us enough time to escape with her...." [b]Astrid loads her crossbows.[/b]
-
[i][u]"Follow me. I know this place too well for my own good..."[/u][/i]
-
"The way you say it, it must be awful..." [b]Astrid smiles at him and starts to follow.[/b]
-
[i][u]"I spent tens of thousands of years under the slavery of Nurgle. I had to take hundreds of showers once I liberated myself from his control..."[/u][/i]
-
"Ewww, I can't imagine how gross that must have been. All those diseases and sores....." [b]Astrid shudders at the thought.[/b]
-
[i][u]"Best not to think of them."[/u][/i] The architecture of the place was strange. Old, rotten stones, rotten doors of wood, moss everywhere, it was like an old, abandoned castle.
