The planet of Khymara Prime was quiet. While the Hive cities may had some light activity to them, the main city, Khymara Prime Proper, was quiet. Khymara Prime Proper consisted of Imperial Adminstratum buildings, Ecclesiarch buildings and an Adeptus Arbites Precient and the older ruined Imperial buildings. Nothing visible stirred in the buildings, ruined or not. The Convent of the Valorous Heart with it's high walled fence had limited torches lit. The Governess's Palace was dark along with the various Administratum buildings. The Temple of The Emperor was the brightest building, so the denizens knew the light of the Emperor was always there. 

   In the darkness a man in tattered clothing, was painting red graffiti in a bombed out building. As the man was getting ready to admire his hand work, a stylized Skull, the Rune of the Blood God, a Figure appeared from no where, a charcoal cloak surrounding him. The man looked at the figure, almost 8 feet tall, and twice as wide as him. The wind blew the cloak revealing Dark red armor, and a horned skull on a shoulder pad. Before the man could say anything the figure reached out picked the man up by his neck with one arm and snapped his neck.  The figure let the man drop to the ground dead. As the figure walked away, he stepped on the man's skull crushing it and dropped and incendiary grenade on the body torching the remains and the graffiti. And then the figure pulled his cloak back around him and disappeared back into the darkness.
