The Arch-Daemon Descends

(General POV)

Location the Nethervoid-Open Area

The maroon colored black cloud covered skies of the Nethervoid, along with the violet hellscape were reacting to the return of the empowered, ascended Dark One.

Immediately all the daemons in the Nethervoid sensed the approach of their dark master, and gathered from all over the realm legions of knightmares, void wraiths, heralds, succubi, observers, infernals, stalkers, spawns, dark florrah, dark druids, shi'lanorai, abyssal defilers, and all other followers of Carnage have gathered to witness the Dark One's return and ascended form.

The black clouds started to part further from a surge of violet warp-lightning that sparked out the separating clouds.

Becoming a swirling vortex of daemonic, Warp electricity that only grew in power and ferocity as the Lord of Domination was coming, the daemons and Carnage-touched worshippers/followers cheered and were utterly eager to see their vile, all-powerful Dark God descend upon his darkly domain again.

After a few moments other powerful entities have joined the gathering as well...

From the east came the colossal armored elder daemon, second son of the Dark One, Mordred Deathharbinger, the Ultimate Slaughterer.

Following the heavy armored elder daemon was his legion in charge of guarding the boarder between Laharl and Khorne, on his right paldron was resting the massive spear like weapon his dark father bestowed him the Slaughterbane, long has it been since the Lord of Assault seen his master and creator as the elder daemon slams down his morningstar like tail onto the violet ground and stabs his Slaughterbane into the daemonic earth resting his massive claws onto the handle looking up at the sky, waiting for the Dark One to cometh.

Next came an elder daemon none expected to emerge and join the gathering...with each step this titan took the whole land shuke.

Chaos Spawns immediately reacted and "roared" to the approaching pale grey colossus, still "far" from the others it's limbs smash and dug into the violet soil, as it's tentacles flailed around on its back, and it burgundy spider-like legs aided it march.

This is the third elder daemon, a mortal sorcerer once apart of the service of Lady Cassandra that became to greedy, and power hungry that his body, mind and soul couldn't willstand the gifts and blessings of his dark patrons eventually becoming the most powerful, and massive spawn in existence.

Nidhog, the Destroyer, the titanic monster and attack beast of the Dark One that ascended and became the first not created son of the Dark One.

A mortal mutated beast that single "handedly" destroyed the crown jeweled, capital city in Kolbaline with one blast earning his dark father's favor and gaining the greatest of greatest rewards as a Elder Daemon and child of the Dark Harbinger himself.

Stopping in a spot some distance away, Nidhog raised it head slightly to the sky as it began to split open in its thirteen sections, exposing his true mouth as his head spread open like a twisted fleshy flower, with each section covered in rows of curved razor-sharp teeth, leading to his actual mouth.

Nidhog swaying his head back and fort let out a earth-shattering roar that could be easily heat across the realm of Laharl, almost in some form of expression of excitement, for the return of his dark master.

Then after the roaring of Nidhog died down and the third elder daemon return to a more calm and docile state, a new sound started to resonate through the area.

Coming from the sky, the ever-growing sound of buzzing could be hear clearly.

A swarm of massive daemonic drone flies could be seen swarming towards the area, forming a black spherical mass as these countless flies were surrounding and protecting their master, the fourth elder daemon and the most recent to be spawned, Beelzabub the Fly of Ruin and Gluttony.

As the swarm and the elder fly daemon got closer to the gathering spot, the flying fly-daemons started to descend and land upon their master's command.

Upon landing the swarm started to separate from Beelzabub allowing all daemons and Carnage-touched to see the fly elder daemon.

Like always the grotesque fly daemon of gluttony, and ruin was both fearsome and horrendous to witness, with his acidic drowl dripping down his mouth and burning the ground it touched, as he used his humongous great pole-axe as a walking stick, he made his way next to his older brother Mordred, nodding his head in respect as the two elder daemons wait for the Dark One to appaer...

Then in a growing surge of warp-energy came a blinding flash of light with white feathers scattered and flowing in the wind.

As that flash was dying down, it revealed the missing elder daemon of the current four.

The first son and spawn of the Dark One, the Great Seer, the six-winged beholder daemon Ba'al Allseer.

All his twelve eyes started to look around eventually focusing on his younger brothers, once in his sight Ba'al opened his massive central and thirteenth eyes as he floated over to them, joining Mordred and Beelzabub who expressed their respect to their older brother, while Ba'al responded on kind.

As the vortex in the sky grow more in power and the shadows around the area started to animate and flow towards the swirling vortex, more and more daemons gathered in the area, followed swiftly by the other forces of Carnage, alongside their respected dark mistress.

The first to arrive were Chi Aahtahg, and Ragna Kaalika followed quickly by their sister the slime queen, Ruu accompanied by her numerous daemon slimes.

Then came the large armies, first to arrive were twisted combination of flesh, machine, and chaos the Flesh Horrors, with Husks, Bio-crafters, Gorrs, and Dreadpedes escorting their dark mistress, the Daemon Nurse, Scalpel Bleedinhart who was ridding on one of the Dreadpedes.

Joining the Flesh Horrors were the Carnage corrupted Guardsmen of the Daemonworld, Kolbaline the Crimsontear Battlion also escorting their Dark Goddess to the area Cassandra Crimsontear, who was sitting upon a makeshift throne welded on a corrupted Baneblade resting her chin on her right golden gauntlet fused hand, with a happy, wicket expression on her face.

Unlike Scalpel or Cassandra, Kiira arrived in a more...reserved...fashion simply flying towards the area accompanied by her strongest daughters, the Hell Seductresses, once the Succubus Queen spotted Chi and Ragna she smoothly landed near them and commanded her daughters to join the rest of the daemonic legions, while she waits with her husband alongside her sisters.

And the last to arrive of the Daemon Queens, in intense and rowdy fashion was Jade Emerlhyde with the entirety of her forces the Iron Kollarz.

Just when she was a simple mortal gobo, she was sitting on her metal and bone made throne on top of her favorite massive death-vehicle with her gals ridding the behemoth of a "car" to the gathering place, all the while she alongside all her gobo boys and gals were roaring, cheering, shooting at the air and praising the awaited return of Adrak'Maal/Laharl.

Chi and the other six already gathered daemon queen saw Jade's entrance and could only shake their head on the Gobo Goddess, exaggerating nature.

Chi then thought, "Despite me and her sharing a common hate for orkz...Jade you and your subject act like smarter, and more wild orkz..." as she sighed at the end of that thought.

Not moment to soon, Jade's ride swirved parked in front of all of the other Daemon Queens, and Jade jumped off her vehicle with her daemon shotgun at hand, as she smashed the ground where she landed creating small cracks spreading from where she was crouched.

Jade calmly stood up, with a wicket, cooky grin adorning her dirty green skinned faceq, as she waved at her sisters as she joined them, and Ragna commented that she could never do things small, which Jade replied with a grin and "Nope."

Now they were all gathered they waited for Laharl to make his big entrance...

The vortex then started to settle forming a massive, expanding ring of warp-lightning while the maroon sky started to part and twist into a mosaic of multiple shades of purple, burgundy, and grey colors with the silhouettes of daemons forming within this mosaic, but it was clear to the Neverborn they were looking directly into the Warp itself.

Then within this hellish mosaic a titanic shadow was emerging from the Warp, this dark figure was colossal, clearly ten times that size of Nidhog, with multiple limbs and appendages including three sets of wings, countless amount of tentacles, and snake-like limbs in both the upper and lower areas of the figure.

As this shadow got closer to the Nethervoid all daemons seeing this entity started to feel greatly empowered, a sensation unlike anything they have ever felt before, while daemons felt this the mortal corrupted followers of Carnage were seeing and feeling overwhelming power, and witnessing something beyond imagining...as the voices and whispers of the litteral void became much clearer, and more convincing...

It was clear that these weaker minds were breaking further than before as Madness himself was coming...

After a few moments he finally crossed over, he has finally returned, the Dark One, Chaos God of Carnage, Laharl emerged through the vortex flying above them all the titanic first daemonic entity in his horrible, but majestic godly form.

Laharl looked down at all his legions both mortal and daemonic, seeing that even his elder daemons have come witness him in his God Form, crossing his arm with his serpents coiling themselves around his body gathering a small amount of his power, causing the realm to shutter he un-crossed his arms and spread his wing wide as he let out a mighty roar!!!

As his legions cheered he spoke, in power filled voice all speaking in unison, "CARNAGE LEGION!!!! I HAVE RETURNED HOME... SOON THE PLAGUE GOD, MY BROTHER NURGLE SHALL BE BORN AND WRECK CARRION ON THE MORTAL REALM, ALONG WITH ATTACK US." hearing him say this sparked anger, and excitement on the Carnage Legions as well as the Queens who were mesmerized by their husband unbelievable form.

The daemons and mortal followers of Laharl were eager to engage with this new enemy, and Laharl sensed this, growling could be heared emenating from him as his snakes hiss louding quieting the legion as he continued speaking, "BUT WORRY NOT... FOR WE WILL STORM MY NEW BROTHER'S DOMAIN, AND ONCE AGAIN WE'LL SHALL COME OUT VICTORIOUS IN THIS NEW GAME!!!!! HEAR ME!!!! SHOW THIS NEW DARK GOD CARNAGE...GRANT THEM SLAUGHTER...BRING THEM RUIN...IN MY NAME!!!!!" as he finished talking, he raised his right arm which held the mighty daemonic sword, Ragnarok pointing to the sky, seeing this and hearing their dark master's declaration all cheered...daemon...gobo...flesh horror...corrupted...they all which for battle, and claim victory for Laharl, which pleased him.

As the Nethervoid was filled with the cheers and yells of daemons and other Carnage-touched entities, the Dark Harbinger spotted his beloved wives all watching with untold admiration.

Resting his right arm, and reaching our with four of his serpents the giant violet and black colored snakes smoothly rested their heads in front of Chi, Kiira, Scalpel, Jade, Cassandra, Ruu, and Ragna occasionally sticking out their black tongues as snake commonly do, Laharl send a quick psychic message to them to get on his snakes, looking up at their husband they smile and quickly climbed the serpents' head.

Letting out a soft hiss, the four serpents started to retract back to their master, and main body in a gentle motion to avoid harming, or causing dismay to the Daemon Queens/Wives of their master.

Once close to Laharl's main body, allowing the we'd lovers to see each other at eye level, Laharl he used his index right claw, to gently caress his wive speaking to them psychically, "My beloveds. I've missed you all. Have you all gotten more beautiful since we last spoke?" Laharl knew it was a cheesy line but he was the God of Love, most of his speech at times are purely romantic, plus with time being so screwed up in the Immaterium he really didn't know how long he was gone for...seconds...hours...even years...not that he truly care.

For seeing the flustering, loving, blushing smiles on his wives faces was enough...

The Daemon Queens then moved closer to him, all resting on some part of his titanic body expressing that they missed him as well, and that he looks dignified and more than worthy of the moniker of the First Chaos God.

Hearing this made Laharl chuckle as they enjoyed this moment together, looking down on the legion of Carnage all ready for battle...to face Nurgle...
