[i][b]The Round Table.[/b][/i]
As Feryun walks through the portal back to his master's realm, he lands in front of the Emerald palace, in the bright grass. In his hands, he carries the tablet that was the Shadowlight artefact. The powerful, mysterious stone pulsates with energy, and the sorcerer puts it down on the ground, in part because he was afraid of its power. Two of the royal guardians of the palace had approached the wizard, but upon recognizing Feryun's metal chassis, they sent for Noiratrom at once. Rapidly, the king approached the wizard.
"Feryun, your search was fruitful?"
He says, in his powerful deep voice.
[i]"Yes, my lord. I have found the Artefact, just where I had left it. Although I must warn you... it's magics are still a mystery to me."[/i] he replied, in his metallic voice.
"I understand your worries. I will keep it under lock until its secrets can be uncovered."
Noiratrom, with a mere thought, made the tablet levitate. The two guardians approached him, carrying a golden Ark. Thr god then descended the tablet into the ark, which was then sealed afterwards. It would be carried deep into the vaults, where it would remain to be observed and experimented.
"But with that business concluded, we have more urgent matters to attend to, my sorcerer."
[i]"Your wish is my command, lord. I shall assist you in any way that I can. After all, you have gifted me with my sorceries..."[/i]
"I did so because you will need them... I have shared my plan with you. Come, walk with me."
Feryun stood back up, and followed Noiratrom into the palace.
"While the war against Khorne will rage, we are forced to divide our attention. I will be split into two. My primary spirit will remain here, to secure the front. And, to help in the illusion... my second spirit, albeit much weaker, will be accompanying you in the search."
[i]"The search, my lord? The search for artifacts of Mephet'ran?"[/i]
"Not quite yet... first, we must gather thr sentinels."
They then enter a room wherein a table rested. It was a circular room, in which seven thrones rested. Each throne was ornate in a specific fashion, as if it had been designed for a particular person. At the center of the room, a strange map. It was ever changing, showing real time. It could point to anywhere in the universe, including the warp. Currently, the map was showing the Realm of Evergreen. They could see every tree with unspoken clarity, including the village, and the townspeople that lived in it. Feryun observed in amazement at all of this, but wondered.
[i]"My lord... what is the use of this? Who are the sentinels?"[/i]
"A good question, Feryun. Please, take your seat."
Noiratrom sat at the throne designed after him, which was the biggest of the thrones. To his right was Feryun's. The sorcerer seated.
"To accomplish my task, I have need of the greatest warriors that ever were. And they must be willing to work for us. I have found five other candidates, that would work with you and I. Once the five are gathered, we can begin our hunt for the Tesseract vaults. And once we have gathered as many artifacts as we can, we will go seek the black library, and Cegorach. And once he has joined us... we will take down Tzeentch. And so, our current mission is to go gather these five champions."
Feryun nodded, taking it all in.
[i]"I see... well, wherever you go, I will follow you. Even if it is to our deaths, my lord."[/i]
Noiratrom smiled, then nodded.
"Our first recruit is wandering the depths of the warp. More specifically, the Blood God's domain. She is caught in an endless gauntlet. At her feet pile the dead of the warp, destined to return eternally into defeat."
The map warps and changes to show the realm of Khorne, then zooms in on the tree of souls.
"That is where we go."
The map then turns into a portal, leading straight into the blood god's domain.
"When I step through the portal, my soul will be fragmented. The blood god will not suspect a thing. But I will be made considerably weaker."
Around him, his armour materializes. On his head, the helm of Alpharius, his brother.
Feryun nods, and steps through.
[spoiler]here we are! Remember your roles, guys.[/spoiler]

-
"Why were you in Khorne's realm? She is there on a mission of sorts... and keep in mind that, although Slaanesh is destroyed, it's minions still roam the galaxy."
-
"Alright, you have a point there... Let's go find her then."
-
"She will be in the lair of the Dark Maiden. I suspect she is hunting for something..."
-
"Then I guess we'll have to aid her."
-
[i]"Onwards, then!"[/i] Eli chuckles, as he rests his blade on his shoulder. [i]"To save ourselves a damsel in distress."[/i] And so, they begin the trek towards the realm of the dead god.
-
[b]Gwynevere smiles at Eli and walks next to him.[/b]
-
Eli walks next to her, smiling underneath his hood. [i]"So... we finally meet, huh?"[/i] He chuckles.
-
"Yep, but not like how I would have thought."
-
[i]"And how would you have thought of us meeting?"[/i]
-
"I thought we would have found one another by chance and ended up fighting off a hoard of Chaos Marines."
-
[i]"Ah, a romantic setting then? The two of us on a sunsetting hill, battling with our backs together, fighting for our lives... that does sound like a very pleasant way to meet my idol."[/i]
-
"I feel the same way..." [b]She softly smiles.[/b] "But what makes me your idol? You've done more things then me!"
-
[i]"it isn't a matter of how big your talley is."[/i] He smiles. [i]"I fight by choice. It was my duty to do so. You... you've been trapped here against your will. You've fought for so long, beyond the point where anyone else would have given up. But you haven't given up at all. Your courage inspired me in my worst moments."[/i]
-
[b]She softly smiles.[/b] "Thank you, I'm glad I could inspire you to keep moving...."
-
[i]"as for me... how did I inspire you?"[/i]
-
"You've fought even when the odds were stacked against you.. Even when thousands of daemons all rushed for your head..."
-
[i]"Coming from the woman who vanquished a Bloodletter at arm wrestling, I could say our exploits are comparable..."[/i]
-
"You wiped out an entire Chapter of Chaos Marines, which is nigh impossible."
-
[i]"I suppose that was a tough one, even though they practically just threw themselves at me... tell me, what is your greatest exploit? I must know. Please! I have to.[/i] He smiles brightly underneath his hood. He was very contempt.
-
"I have to say... Taking on Two ancient Daemon Prices at once. Especially since they only got stronger when they were together."
-
[i]"I must say, I am impressed! A feat definitely worthy of your legend..."[/i] He smiles. She truly was amazing. At least, he knew as much, speaking for himself.
-
[b]She smiles back, feeling a small warm feeling at her gut whenever she talked to him.[/b]
-
He would feel the same. After all, she was his idol. [i]"Now, I don't like to brag but... I have done some impressive things myself. Let's see... I've had a Khorne Bloodthirster tap out from a fistfight, I stopped a Khorne Juggernaut with my bare hands, erm... ah, yes! There was this one Keeper of secrets, you see. You know, big ugly Daemons of Slaanesh, you know the type. Well anyway, it and an Avatar of Khaine were ripping each other a new one. I stepped in and talked them both out of it. Now that..."[/i] He chuckles. [i]"... that was fun."[/i] He winces. [i]"Oh, I just remembered that one time I had to kill two companies of Angry Marines and two compaines of World Eaters all at once... now that wasn't fun at all."[/i]
-
"That sounds like it sucked... Angry Marines are bad enough, but doing that while fighting World Eaters sounds horrible."
-
[i]"It was basically just a whole battlefield of people screaming at each other... the Angry marines, comparatively to the Eaters, are in the least entertaining."[/i]
