My Duty

"You filthy space marine, you don't even understand the power you hold given to you by yo..." As he was about to speak that last crucial sentence an axe appeared from thin air red like blood and fire so hot I could feel it as if I was the one holding it. "What the hell."

I sat there chained to the ground, unafraid of the axe that just cleaved the head of the demon, but why of all places and of all times did it have to silence the only person who could have told me the reason for being here and not dead with my brothers. I struggled violently shaking the chains, not liking the feeling of being held against my will. The axe now soaking in the blood of its victim almost giving the feeling of joy at taking the life, the axe started to spin at a speed that even my superior eyes could match, now turning into a raging red disk of fire, and just my luck the bloody frakking(fucking) thing is heading in my direction, I stared at my doom approach at breakneck speed I stopped struggling to face my death with no fear of what's to come.

I waited for my impending death to come and claim me, I slowly lifted my head steering at the chains that bound me to the ground, for me to see them slip off my armour and fade to nothingness, I stood up placing myself firmly on the ground facing the heavens, " I swear on the Emporers name that I will not die, I will not rest until the moment I defeat you and your so-called champions, let my voice be horns of your destruction." darkness slowly crept towards me swallowing the very ground I stood upon, now left in darkness I can hear the sound of thunders laughter, like he dears to face me, I blink shutting my eyes for a mere second, great I am back at where I started, facing this bloody frakking door.

Let's see what changes have been made this time, I steered at the door only to see it crumble away like dust on the wind, leaving the tower standing among the clouds that caused the storm to begin to dissipate before my very eyes. Well, I am glad that this part is over, but I miss talking to Iacobus where is that wolf? I started to walk aimlessly trying to catch my bearings, the ground seemed to stop moving like an ocean and the heat seemed to have vanished which I am glad for because I don't like the idea of being burnt to a crisp.

I walked for about half an hour climbing and running through the crystal landscape making good progress and started to understand that this domain was smaller than it was made out to be, where are you Iacobus? I continued to the edge of this domain, and I started to feel a slight bit of tiredness overcome me, you bloody hairy dog, I can see you. Iacobus sat at the top of the crystal-like spire where he sent me riding fucking lighting, I caught my second wind, charging up to him creating holes every time planted my foot onto the ground, I started to see him more clearly the plastered smirk across his face said all, I came to a hard stop kicking up debris into Iacobus's fur, now standing over him I looked at him" I honestly don't know whether to hug you or through you off the cliff."

Pondering the thought of how it would be annoying to be alone in the warp, I walked closer to him and knelt now face to face with him, I noticed that he had grown in size slightly and his fur had turned into a prominent red and gold but his head still retained black and grey, I started to pat his head, " It is good to see you, my friend, I hope I didn't have to make you wait very long?" He moved my hand aside and said " No you were quite fast in how you handled things, but I am assuming you took care of the demon and I hope the knowledge I parted with you about the demons I have encountered myself has helped you somehow?" " yes It has and it will be a great asset to have in the future when I come back to real space with this we can help the Imperium and the Emporer take down these new foes."

He looked deep in thought, like on the verge of asking a question that was trying not to offend me, he came out of his stupor, " How come you are uninjured? I thought at most your armour would suffer severe damage due to the Lord of Changes attacks and would have lost a limb, what happened?" I stood back up facing the tower in the distance, I don't know what to say. "I completed two trials to get the opportunity to kill the demon but when the opportunity showed itself, I knew I wouldn't be able to defeat him and come out unscathed, so I made him destroy a barrier he put up and what happened next still confused me." Iacobus stood up, " Well that wouldn't be very hard to confuse you, peanut brain."

I rolled my eyes at the words, " Shut up and let me finish, this is where it shows my confusion, I ended up being chained to the ground after the barrier came down but the demon became panicked and angry after having a conversation with someone, I couldn't hear anyone but I going to surmise that he was terrified of who he was speaking to." Iacobus went back into his thoughts, " Is that all? ", I wish it was but " No, after the demon was filled with anger or frustration, he began to spill secrets about me and why I am here not dead on the battlefield, shortly after a red axe made of fire and magma appeared from thin air and behead him. " Iacobus looked deeply troubled he understood what this meant, and he turned away, " Do you remember anything else about what the demon said before he died?" I folded my arms, " he didn't get the opportunity to say anything before his head hit the ground." Iacobus turned to me with a serious expression, now standing some metres away from me, " We are going to have a harder time now than ever before and you just saw something that should not have happened, 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..."
