The Enemy does not sleep, nor shall we. - Chapter II part 4


       "I am not corrupt," shouted Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom as she stood up. 

 

 

       Quickly standing each of the warriors rose with weapons in hand.  The Grey Knight Paladin's halbred began to glow, Captain Rey Rojo drew his special issue deathwatch bolter, Palatine Nataliea Harrow and Tempestor Prime Lonzo Wilkinson upholstered their plasma pistols the coils beginning to glow orange , the Frateris bodyguard activated their chainblades, and Celestian Sacrescent Bodyguards charged their maces. 

 

       "Paladin, eliminate the Heretic," Inquisitor Lord Martyn Odum said. 

 

       Grey Knight Paladin's eye shined a bright blue matching the halbred's blade. In a lightning fast move, the Paladin swung the halbred at a Deputy Governor Nirom. 

 

       Deputy Governor Reeta Nirom remembers staring at the Khymara sky as a young child. Her dream was to be a pilot, a beautiful pilot. Reeta Nirom, was a beauty contestant, in her late teens. Her sky blue eyes and black hair, and light skin made visually stunning. She learned to use her beauty to her advantage. She called it "The Whisper".  "The Whisper "helped her win the hearts of judges in beauty contests and get her into PDF Flight School. While in flight school, she was failing, she used "The Whisper" would allow her deceive her instructors into giving her success. "The Whisper" would employee pleasure, excess, decadence, perfection, and obsession to help Reeta reach her goals. 

 

          As Reeta grew older, "The Whisper" continued helping her advance, if she deserved it or not. "The Whisper", even made sure Reeta enjoyed all the tactics it would employed against others. Reeta's self indulgence grew. "The Whisper" even protected her beauty.  Lush living quarters, slew of partners for pleasure, and then on a mission, she was shot down. A hard landing shattered the Valkyrie's windscreen sending glass into her face. Her crew was able to pull her out and a Med Evac got her to a hospital. While in the hospital, she saw something for the first time, "The Whisper". All the years she only heard "The Whipser" and never saw it.  "The Whisper" had  pale almost ivory skin, beautiful and yet horrifying, a smile full of sharp teeth, a beautiful purple and jeweled head dress, amazing silk clothes, female but not, and her hands behind her back. 

 

         "Well, my love, you are still here on the mortal plane. Your beauty is gone. The glass tore your face up, and these surgeons can not save your face, And without your face, your lifestyle, will be gone, All the pleasure and decadence gone. No self indulgence, no perfection, no one lining up to share your bed, There is only one entity that can keep you in the life you have, want, and need.  I will help you, as I always have, My Master will grant you the life . All you have to say is "yes" and I will tell my Master. But there is a price. A very steep price. Souls to be had, including yours," The Whisper said.

 

          "YES," replied Reeta, tears rolling down her face. 

 

           "Very well, see you soon, my dear," The whisper said with a smirk. 

 

          Reeta woke up in the Hospital and told that she had some fevered dreams. She asked about her face and was told it was all superficial and was repaired thanks to a generous donation made be a friend, named Governor Corvin Augulant. Upon being discharge from the hospital, Reeta learned the price she would have to pay to "The Whisper". Her lovers souls would taken as payment. Individuals would become obsessed with her looks and then sacrifice themselves in her apartment. She was able to keep all the deaths hidden. Then Governor Augulant offered her the Deputy Governor position. More exposure, more people, more lovers, more obsessed individuals, more souls for "The Whisper's" master.

 

        Then the deployment of the 1st Khymara Mobile Cavalary PDF,  4th Battalion, 7th Aviation Regiment "The Stags". It was her signature on the orders, but it was "The Whispers" demands to deploy them.  It cost the souls of over 600 men and women. They came back corrupted, those that did came back. Her fault. All due to her pride, her desires, her seeking perfection. Then she realized that her time was coming. Her soul was going to be taken by "the Whisper".  She needed to run. She needed to get off planet.....

 

       "Wait, you want to run from a fight? Since when did that start happening, Reeta," Governor Augulant asked.  

 

 

        "Well, is it in a fight both sides have casualties and this seems to contradict that. And the removal of the heads." Deputy Governor Nirom said after looking at the report. While looking at the report, she realized this was her chance, to run. And then Senior Comms Operator Mord Van Der Flint came running in. 

 

          Somewhere in the warp, "She who Thrists" laughed, as it received Reeta Nirom's soul.
