I shook my head and said,
"No, the upcoming battle will be ours to fight. Please step back, or better yet, hide. We don't want them to retreat instead of attacking."
"Very well. We shall hide our presence from the servants of the Blood God."
I nodded my head and watched them disappear from view. However, because of my powers, I could feel and see them clearly. They moved away from us and talked among themselves. I let them be and instead focused on my sister.
Just like in the canon timeline, her pod opened just after the Eldar arrived, but this time, Aurelia was the one greeting her and even helped her stand up, instead of the Eldar attacking him. She looked at us, her eyes full of curiosity.
Aurelia smiled at her and said,
"Good morning, sister. My name is Aurelia Valerion, and I am your sister."
Our new sister looked at us for a second and tilted her head. She was still learning our language, and I decided to help her. I walked forward and said,
"I am your brother, Theodore Luminos. This is your sister, and her name is Petra Caelaris."
"Hn"
I chuckled a little at Petra's answer and said,
"Don't mind her. She is a bit shy."
"I am not!"
"And this is Kassandra Curze."
Kassandra nodded her head and waved. I could see a small smile on her face. Furina looked around for a second before saying,
"Brother. Sisters."
"Yup! Good girl! Welcome home, sister. Let me show you around."
Aurelia helped Furina, and we took her around the temporary base. We showed her the armory and the wall, and even gave her some of the food Aurelia and I had cooked earlier. Sadly, the tour came to a sudden stop as Petra's radar caught a massive movement from the east.
"They are here."
Furina looked at me in confusion and asked,
"What is here?"
I smiled at her and said,
"Bad people. People who want nothing but to hunt others to use them as animals. Stay back, sister. This will be messy."
She looked at me in confusion but decided to stay back with Ana while we stepped forward. We were currently outside the shelter, having been engaged in campfire activities before these people decided to interrupt us.
We could see a group of people, at least 200, but fewer than 300, approaching us. However, there was something different about them. Instead of regular humans, I could feel the thick influence of the Warp within them. Their bodies were no longer human, but mutated human.
Each of them was corrupted by the influence of Chaos, specifically Khorne. It looked like the Blood God was furious at my interference.
"They are corrupted, sisters. We are going all out immediately."
Hearing my words, my sisters immediately pulled out their heavy weapons and started firing. The effect was immediate; a cacophony of explosions echoed through the area as the vehicles they were using erupted from the bullets hitting them.
However, it did not stop them. After their vehicles exploded, they stood up and ran. Even with half their bodies gone, they continued to sprint toward us. I grunted when I saw their bodies regenerate very quickly.
It looked like Khorne was really upset with me for stealing his supposed slave.
I flared my powers and tried to suppress his influence in realspace, but I met with a fierce setback. Khorne decided to stop playing around, ensuring my power couldn't beat him unless I used my full strength, which would risk injuring or even killing my sisters in return.
My blank power was very powerful, but it was a double-edged sword that could hurt my sisters, as all of them had a strong connection to the Warp. Kassandra and her precognition, Petra and her tech-based power, Aurelia and her aura, and Furina and her empathic abilities.
So, I suppressed Khorne's influence as much as possible without hurting or killing the people around me, including the Eldar who were watching from a distance.
That meant we needed to kill them as thoroughly as possible. Even with the influence of the Warp, there was a limit to how much regeneration normal humans could receive. With this in mind, I entered the battlefield with a sword in hand. I appear in front of the group that is a hundred meters from us.
With a roar, I swung my sword, killing multiple cultists in a single strike. I didn't stop there; I used my Gauss Rifle to disintegrate their bodies so they could not regenerate.
After fighting for a minute, I noticed my sisters had joined me on the front line. Aurelia joined me, wielding a power mace. Petra was also there, her power hammer crackling with blue lightning, while the storm bolters in her left hand spat dozens of bullets per second. Kassandra, on the other hand, hunted down the cultists who stayed in the back. She moved as if she didn't exist in their eyes, an invisible hunter on the chaotic battlefield.
We were Primarchs, and there was almost nothing that could stop us on the field of battle.
== Line Break ==
[Iselyth, Farseer of Kuil-Taann]
She watched the carnage the Godlings left behind as they fought against the hundreds of servants of the Blood God. She and her people watched from the sidelines, witnessing the power of the Godlings born from the future Dark King.
However, she could no longer call them that. The Book of Destiny no longer existed, as fate itself had shattered into a million pieces. The future where the Dark King was born and unraveled the galaxy no longer exists.
That man. The Son that should not exist. The void that produced a brilliant light. To her vision, he did not exist, but to the naked eye, he shone brilliantly.
It was a gamble for her to ask him to accept them under his wing. As a Farseer, she used her gift to see the future and to navigate the paths that would ensure the survival of the people of Kuil-Taann.
However, every path she saw in her vision led to a single crossroads, with two possible futures. Either kill the Red Angel and block the vision of She Who Thirsts from her people for 250 years of Mon-keigh time, a short reprieve, but one she and her people needed to find another solution, or fail.
If she failed, her people would die within ten years.
When they arrived at the location where the Red Angel was supposed to land, she immediately knew something was wrong. In her vision, she and her people had seen no one but the Red Angel. However, when they arrived, others were already there.
She was about to attack them, but her instinct told her not to, so she decided to follow it. She conversed with the giant and soon learned the nature of the man leading the other Godlings.
After learning that, she decided to take another gamble. When their souls connected with the Void-Star, she saw something beautiful. Instead of being consumed by She Who Thirsts, their souls were drawn directly into a beautiful afterlife where they would truly find rest.
It was a future that many Farseers desired for their people, and she had found it. Her gamble had paid off; they now had a better future. Their powers would no longer see a singular, fixed future, but rather infinite branching paths that required careful planning—a far better outcome than the one path they once faced.
It was the future she had wanted.
She returned to realspace when she heard another roar of anger echoing from the Warp. The Blood God was truly furious, his rage shaking the entire Warp as he lost his prized slave. The Red Angel had slipped from his grasp, and he could no longer use her as a pawn to turn the Golden Human into a Dark King.
However, she saw something disturbing. The other three had decided to secure their own slaves from the Void-Star, using their power to strengthen their influence in realspace. The Great Game was no longer set in stone, and now it was so chaotic that even the Great Schemer could not see the end.
The Chaos Gods wanted to ensure their games remained on their original course, even if it meant burning their power to influence realspace. She saw many timelines arising from this course of action and carefully navigated them for the benefit of her people and their new leader.
She was no longer just Iselyth of Kuil-Taann; she was now also Iselyth of the Eternitus Empire.
As the last slaves of the Blood God died, she was already creating a hundred plans that would benefit the empire and her race. However, she needed to be careful, as she could see that the Golden Human harbored hatred toward her kind.
There were many paths she could take, but she desired the outcome where the Human and Aeldari races united. She followed countless paths and crafted a Grand Plan to unite them.
And that plan required their Great Mother, Isha, to seduce the Golden Human.
