The Hot Gate

I walked towards the walls of blood, fire and bronze and said three words "To bring DOOM!"

Knelt grasping the sigil of the Emperor, a two head eagle made from gold we call it an aquila, I was given this by a humble craftsmen's who looked like he took pride in his work, I received this when I first went to see Terra, after a small campaign against the Orks and a small fleet of Eldar.

I could feel the searing heat through my armour, I flipped the aquila, looking at its back it read, " Show your enemy your wrath, show your brothers with praise and most of all show those who change with forgiveness." I scoffed at the last part, feeling how forgiveness can be turned to betrayal because I watched as how some of brothers returned to the warmaster after having killed some of their brothers to reach him, but he only steered at them like ants and he turned away, the next moment Abaddon of the first company killed them, cutting them down, where they stood, I watched all this through the windows of a shattered home, void of all life, from that moment forward I gave my enemies no-quarter from that day forward .

the sound of steps approached drumming out the sound of screams from beyond the wall of blood, brass and fire, Iacobus stood next to Titerus, he gazed at the aquila as it's golden colour shone bright as red, orange and yellow from the magma bombarded the one thing that gave Titerus hope in the darkness of the warp.

His arm stretched forward and grasped his pauldron looking down to him. "how long have you had that? It looks like it as seen better days." His words made it to my ears which broke the shroud of silence around me, I quietly said, "centuries it has been centuries since I was given this by an old man with black hear, he came to me unafraid of space marines and gave me this, he said " This will help guide you through the dark." Even till this day I still don't understand what that means but it does remind me that what I am fighting for is bigger than any person or space marine.

I put the aquila back into the inside of my armour and slowly stood up, raising above the soot that covered me, I turned to face Iacobus enjoying the sight of another space marine instead of large wolf, that being said I made good friends with space wolves and their Fenris wolves counterparts. I gazed back at the wall that was blocking us from our target, Taking several steps forward now being at least twenty metres away, I put my bolter away, not to grasp my sword and bolt-pistol or to grab my hand grenade, I clenched my fists, I surged my power through my hands running it all across my body, I still remembering the feeling of charging into battle with brothers with those who I would call friends and I even remember how our father, our Warmaster lead us taking on the most dangerous of our enemies, which paved the way to victory.

I stood there watch as Titerus walked forward facing the wall of hellfire, I was curiously to see how he would overcome this obstacle, I watched as he put away his bolter, I thought he would ask for my help but I could only stand and watched as the pupil I tort now use his power to manifest lighting that arches off his body, which tears up the earth around his feet as soon as the lighting touches the ground.

A second later I watched as Titerus leap forward hitting the wall with extreme force, cracking it, I said to myself that this no small feat for anyone including one of the Adeptus Astartes, he unleashed punches that made sounds of a Demolisher Cannon, pull his shoulders back and twisting his torso with every punch. he stood there for five minutes beating the wall, It started to show damage massive cracks started to appear up the wall, for every punch he dished out, pieces of the wall fell and came away.

He suddenly stopped, focusing his power into his right arm and yet the wall still stood tall above us, I still can't believe what he has just done the strength that he would need, the power to keep his body going after every punch and to think I am witnessing the birth of a new legend among the galaxy.

I started to get tired after throwing those strikes at the wall, reminding me when one of the neophytes dared me to try and fight a dreadnought, I lost but not after pushing it a few metres and dealing a few punches. after my last strike I felt the wall begin to give, I stopped, focusing my power into my right arm, I knew I would not be able to last long keeping the power I could manifest into my arm but I only need but a moment, pulling my arm back, I looked it in place ready to unleash this devastating strike and in the span of less of a second, my arm was launched into the wall of fire and bronze that blow out shock the very ground.

This cleared the path towards our prize, a massive bloodletter that wielded a fiery sword that sorted the blood and the lives of its enemies, not caring from which the blood flows, only that it continues to flow. To make matters worse for ourselves he rides a Juggernaut, a huge demonic creature, it's flesh metal, it's very soul fire and death.

I stood there gazing at the demon surrounded by an army of bloodletters in combat with each other showing how ruthless they are as they try to appease their god Khorne through acts of death and murder.

I walked forward, stepping on to the rumble of the wall finding the biggest one to get the best vantage point and shouted with all my might, " Demons of Khorne my name is Titerus Vain of the XVI Legion I have battled against the enemies of the Imperium for almost two hundred years I have learnt many forms of combat from almost every legion and being able to spar with greatest of the Adeptus Astartes, You will fear my blade filth!" I roared towards the heavens seeing the glowing eyes of a god and the armies of blood charge toward us I shouted with every fibre of my being unleashing my sword from my side and bolt-pistol from the other

" For the Emperor!!!" 

I walked beside Titerus standing over the ramble of the wall, I witnessed the bloodletters of khorne stick their forked tongues dripping with blood even from this distance my eyes can still clearly see them as if standing in front of them. I listened to the words of Titerus, I prepared my abilities for use for I shall reap their very lives from them, I watched carefully to see what Titerus would do to face down the enemy and what I saw, made me speechless, standing behind him witnessed a ghostly army of Astartes that bear the markings of the Luna Wolves.
