Negotiations, and the Coming of the Bride of Khorne
(Laharl/Chaos God POV)
Location the Warp, Neutral Space
It didn't surprise me that Nagi or Nagi'ish would gain the notice of Khorne, when I sensed the farseer, she reminded me a lot of the more savage Wood Elves, in Old World.
If I let my brother take her, all that potential of her becoming greater than some Chaos Champion will be wasted, and if she does surpass Khorne's expectations she might replace Be'lakor as the first Daemon Prince, that something I must prevent and I have bigger plans for Nagi, and her sect planing on making them my first Chaos Eldars or better yet Chaos Wood Eldars, for what she has revealed to me and my brother.
Currently, we are in a neutral empty space in the Warp, taking a shadowy manifestation of ourselves as we're both busy corruption souls and preparing for Nurgle's unavoidable arrival.
That oath and deal we made has prevented our daemons for engaging each other and to solidify our individual forces.
As I watched Khorne stand there silently, I took the opportunity to think of anything that I might offer that will secure Nagi, her sect, and her world for my own...then I remembered I possess several unused FACs and with a smile on my face, I started plotting my next moves of this negotiation that we're about to have.
Khorne decided to start things off...
(Khorne POV)
After I observed the woman Eldar Nagi'ish show great promise as a warrior of blood, I have to deal with my brother wanting the mortal woman as well, clearly he desires her more than a champion...sighing to myself, Laharl clearly wanted another wench as his bride...
One of the things that are starting to annoy me of my older brother is his lust, no wonder when he explained to me the future births of our siblings, how I greatly hate and despise my future sister for the same trait and other annoying crap...
Now I have to get my brother to back off, for Nagi'ish shall prove to a mighty khornate warrior, might even be the champion I need to led my mortal forces into a bloody campaign across the stars!!!
I am not giving up such a soul without a fight as I spoke, "Brother!!! Nagi'ish is mine!!! She'll become a mighty warrior, conquering the battlefields and staining the star in red!!!! As my honor, and my word I shall honor our contract...if you...BACK OFF!!!! That one is mine!!!"
(General POV)
With Khorne saying his piece, the "negotiations" between him and Laharl have begun, for the right over the soul of the Urlthawai Farseer, Nagi'ish.
Laharl chuckled openly, as he knew that Khorne would go for the blunt, and intimidation approach of negotiating him to abandon Nagi, but Laharl had a plan and with that plan comes a offer that not even the Blood God, could refuse.
Rising his left arm with his claw close, soon a burst of light was bleeding through the shadows of the Dark One's claw, the light so intense and powerful that even the shadowy avatar of the Blood God has to cover its eyes as he yelled, "WHAT IS THIS SORCERY, BROTHER?!!!"
Laharl used one of his Free Absolute Creations, to design and craft an object, a relic that will not only benefit him, but Khorne and all the other Chaos God both from 40k and beyond...
Designing the relic as a titanic stone fountain, with multiple daemonic runes etched on it while being a nightmarish combination of all Chaos entities that Laharl knows from Warhammer lore, this fountain has his corruption, along with Khorne as one part was made from brass, covered in spikes and skulls, with a gargoyle head in the form of Bloodthirster in the front as blood poured out its mouth, next to it was Laharl's made from marble covered in maroon spiked vines with several maws on these plants, the gargoyle head of a Abyss Defiler in the center with ambrossia pouring out the maw.
Next was Nurgle's side made from stone covered in mold and fungus, with bulbous sacks of puss with Nurgle mark etched in rusted green metal over the gargoyle head in the form of a Great Unclean One spewing vile, slime, and maggots out its mouth.
Beside Nurgle was one that Khorne doesn't recognize but felt great amount of corruption made from metal and green crystals bursting with Chaos energy (Warpstone) at the edge of the basin were a pair of curved horns, the symbols of the Skaven Clans all around the area and a gargoyle head of a Vermin Lord pouring liquidfy Warpstone from it rodent mouth, this is the area dedicated to a lesser Chaos God known as the Horned Rat.
Beside the Horned Rat's area was one that looked like a twisted almagamation between corrupted machinery and flesh, with various parts that moved and surged with power, wires everywhere on the area of the fountain and cybernetic tentacles that would make a famous super-villain envious scattered in the area with a metallic gargoyle head resembling a unaffiliated Soul Grinder welded onto the center this head was surging with electrical energy and black oil poured out its maw, this is a dedication to the future demi-god of industry and the Dark Mechanicus, Vashtorr the Arkifine.
Next was Tzeentch it was an eldritch abomination with an eye looking everywhere along with blue and pink crystals everywhere, a mixture of gothic structure of an altar and fountain, blue tentacles at the bottom with a gargoyle head of Lord of Change at it center with glowing eye-crystals and from it mouth came out raw magic pouring down like liquid.
At the right side of Tzeentch's area was one made from iron, and it seemed forged and built by great smiths corrupted by Chaos, with countless runes edged on it along with a bull head made from gold at the basin, a gargoyle head of a Chaos Dwarf creature known as a Lammsu pouring out blazing magma from its maw this was dedicated to Hashut, the Daemon God of the Dawi Zharr.
To the left of the Weaver of Fate was one that appeared greatly excessive.
The side dedicated to Slaanesh was covered in purple drapes, the material resembling living flesh covered with spikes, black piercing rings and bondage, that said skin had a pinkish purple tinted to it with the mark of the Princess of Pleasure scarred into the flesh, and a gargoyle head of a Keeper of Secret strapped to the center as a fresh wine poured out its mouth.
Khorne was shocked at the giant fountain that appeared between him and his brother, he felt unimaginable power of the Warp and Chaos emanating from it at such magnitude that he has never seen.
He observed every inch of the relic, while the Blood God was impressed he was still shocked and confused about what it was and why his brother conjured it.
Turning his attention away from the fountain, Khorne demanded his brother to explain what he had done and why he did it?
Laharl laughed a little before he gave a similar explanation as the one he gave Chi and Kiira long ago, that his divinity power over Authority and Omni-bending together, he is able to use "Chaos Tesseracts" to create anything without any limit, as long as he has the power to do so.
Swinging his right arm over the relic, which he revealed to be the "Infinity Fountain of the Warp" meant to see, contact, interact, and much more all that is connected to Chaos, including traversing the veil between universes.
Khorne was quite impressed by this but still demanded of his brother to explain why it was important of this Infinity Fountain and what the significance of it to their discussion.
That was when Laharl revealed that there's was more than one incarnation of them, with powerful followers, daemons, and powers.
Laharl went further saying that when things get difficult in their world, them along with Nurgle, Tzeentch, and Slaanesh shall travel to one of this alternative realities to not only absorb their "others" but all their followers and armies that they amassed in those alternative worlds.
Then he focused some of his power unto the Infinity Fountain, making the basin fill with a grey liquid that then formed a spherical mirror floating over the grey waters, revealing the world of Warhammer Old World aka Fantasy to Khorne, they saw the countless Chaos Warriors and Champions dedicated to the Blood God amongst the was Scyla Anfingrimm which greatly interested his brother, but the next champion Laharl showed him completely captivated the Blood God, it was the Valkia the Bloody.
This was part of Laharl's plan and offer as Khorne watched Valkia's rise as a champion, refuse the temptation of one of Slaanesh's Keepers, her fall at the Chaos Waste which like Laharl predicted got a reaction out of Khorne as the image froze.
Seeing the image in the mirror, freeze Khorne growled and demanded him to make the fountain continue, and Laharl spoke, "Worry not, brother. Valkia will ascend as the mighty Gorequeen, and the first of the valkyries dedicated to this...weaker...version of yourself, but this is my offer." pulling another FAC within his right claw and spoke "Exchange for complete rites to Nagi'ish and her sect. I'll use another Chaos Tesseract to create a relic to accompany the Infinity Fountain, to summon loyal warriors from other realities connected to Chaos unto our hands. This offer will be extended to our siblings, in the future along with others...but it has a fail safe that the others must allow it for the relic to work, that way none of us can abuse its power. So Khorne here my offer...Nagi'ish for access to summon Scyla and Valkia to your side."
Khorne growled because he knew his brother just offered him not just something way more valuable, but also made a way for they and the other Dark Gods have a reason not to kill one another.
In his head, Khorne complemented his brother's cunning and shrewdness, sighing Khorne spoke, "Very well, brother. I accept your offer. If the Infinity Fountain and whatever other concoction you're about to create remain in this neutral ground." Laharl smiled and simply said, "Agreed."
Once again, Laharl used another Free Absolute Creation, focusing his dark power and imagination into the FAC to spawn what he desires.
With another great blinding flash of light, the swirling multi-colored space which the two Dark Gods were discussing was completely illuminated for a couple of seconds, then another relic manifested much simpler in design than it counterpart the fountain, it was a large orb of Chaos energy constantly changing between energies, red for Khorne, orange for Hashut, burgundy for Laharl, pink for Slaanesh, blue for Tzeentch, green for the Horned Rat, sickly green for Nurgle, and grey for Vashtorr.
This energy orb is surrounded by eight shifting spiked eight-point stars also when the orb changes energy, so do the stars, brass for Khrone, crystal for Tzeentch, etc...
With a swipe of his arm, the orb approached the Dark One, slightly floating above his left claw as Laharl explained the newest relic he had created.
As he begun, "This is the Void Gate. Once majority of the Gods are in agreement, one or more of us can use it to open a breach between the dimensions of Chaos and pull individuals or objects from alternative dimensions, directly connected to our unique power. And you, my brother, are the first to use this mighty relic of the Warp." with a forward tug, the Void Gate floated over to Khorne.
The Void Gate changed and remained in the state of Khorne, symbolizing who was using it as the Blood God, stretched out his right hand, and the Void Gate floated over his hand.
Immediately, Khorne knew how to use the relic, must be a function that his brother before using it he spoke, "Brother in my name as the Chaos God of Blood, I relinquish all ownership over the soul of Nagi'ish." bound by his name and the oath he made to the God of Promises, Khorne focuses his ruinous powers onto the Void Gate as it departed from his hand and expanded into a red Warp-Gate swirling with malice and power as two souls flew out and came to rest in the hand of Khrone.
These souls are Scyla Anfingrimm and Valkia the Bloody...the bride of Khorne, with their negotiations meet Khorne, looked at his brother and nodded as he banished away back to his domain along with his two new champions, awaiting to be made flesh again.
Laharl laughed as his plans were progressing better than he had hoped, not only has he found a new Daemon Queen candidate, but a method to expand his power and influence beyond the limits of 40k.
This was the gateway for not only Chaos to grow in power but to inlist their fantasy kinda siblings, namely the Horned Rat and Hashut.
And greater than that, the Infinity Fountain and the Void Gate, which was currently floating around the fountain this open ways into alternative realities such as the Dornian Heresy Universe, which allowed not only him but the other Chaos Gods to take Primarchs and Astartes Legions from other cannon...it be funny for him to corrupt and assimilate the Salamanders of the DHU, into his thrall kinda as a jab/honor to his former human self friend...Laharl though of it as a bitter sweet memory as he to banish back to his respected realm to prepare for his own battle against the Eldar...
Location the Blood Lands, the Brass Citadel/ the Skull Throne
Khorne consciousness returned, and within his hand was the souls of two great warriors and loyal follower as he surged his power through these souls they began to take form, flesh and life.
The first to take form was male, a massive spiked collared wearing behemoth with red skin and black fur, resembling more an ape than a man with a great mouth tip serpentine tail, this is the Norscan Champion turned into the famed and feared Chaos Spawn, the Bloodbeast, Scyla Anfingrimm.
Scyla roared and smashed his fists around, while a beast that has lost his sentient he still knew where he was the realm of his master, turning his head he saw Khorne and immediately bowed to the Lord of Skull.
The next figure to gain form was female, in Khorne's opinion, she was quite beautiful.
A highly favor champion she was a the chieftain of Schwarzvolf tribe, that fell to the blade of Slaanesh followers in the Chaos Waste upon her death Khorne roared on morn of her death, and immediately remade her into his consort and bride.
Pale white skin woman with great daemon wings and cloven feet, razor sharp teeth and eyes as crimson as fire.
Her hair was replaced by black spines and great sharp horns, her lithe figure clad in brass and black iron baroque armour, living chains holding the skulls of those she favoured, the flayed skins of daemons were draped across the metal plates which held great power in many unholy runes whilst blood oozed out from within.
She was armed with her legendary weapon a spear known as Slaupnir tightly held in her gauntlet hand, while on her other hand was daemonic tower shield made from the remains and soul of a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, name Locephax.
This the Gorequeen, the only woman that has ever caught the eye and interest of the Blood God, Valkia the Bloody!
[Many debate weither Valkia is a highly mutated immortal human or the only Daemon Princess in fantasy lore, in my story, she is a Daemon Princess.]
When Valkia breathed in the scent of blood and sulphur she felt bliss, roaring as she's been save by her Dark Patron, praising Khorne she was eager for battle when she realized she was no longer in the mortal realm, but the Chaos Realm, the Blood Lands and she saw the kneeling beast next to her gaining her attention as she realized she was in the presence of her lord, immediately she kneeled praising his name.
Khorne was pleased as he ordered Scyla to wonder his realm until he was called, with a roar, Scyla jumped off his hand unto the red ground, roaring as he rushed away somewhere within the Blood Lands, leaving Khorne with Valkia as they spoke Khorne offered a honor unlike anything a mortal was ever blessed with.
He asked Valkia, to become his queen and rule by his side not as the Queen of the Blood Valkyries, but as a Goddess, overwhelm with such a offered and overcome with excitement Valkia immediately accepted changing the tide of Chaos once again as another Daemon Queen has arouse and is not of Carnage, but Blood.
