The Wolf and the Heretic


Recommended Posts

High orbit above Caprica

 

Ragnar looked out of the view port of the strike cruiser at the small world below.

‘Something troubling you Lord?’

‘No Sigurd it is nothing,’ Ragnar replied flatly.

There was a long silence, the only noise coming from the ship’s engines far away.

‘It’s the planet isn’t it Ragnar?’

‘Yes my old friend it is the planet, it brings back memories I thought I had buried long ago.’

 

Many years before

 

Ragnar shot a cultist mid leap, and then gutted another with his frostblade.

‘Long time, no see brother!’ shouted Ragnar above the high pitch whine of his sword.

‘It has been my friend, oh it has,’ Replied Sven.

Sven crushed a cultist’s chest with his power fist. A cultist appeared beside Sven but died with a bolt round through the head from Ragnar’s bolt pistol.

‘Thank you but I need to kill some of these heretics too you know, you aren’t the only wolf lord in this chapter.’ Sven shouted with a grin spreading across his face while he killed a heretic with his storm bolter.

‘Then you better hurry up brother that new armour has slowed you down.’ Ragnar slit another’s throat with his blade.

‘It may be slower but it comes with more weapons to smite my enemies with!’

The cultists threw themselves at the wolf lords but none scored a single blow. The melee was too closely packed for the cultist’s heavier weapons to fire. This fight was going to be won with pistol and blade alone. As the wolf lords shouted to each other they did not notice the half dead cultist throw a grenade at the wolf lords’ feet.

‘Damn,’ said both wolf lords as one.

The grenade exploded and sent both lords flying through the air, as their bodies hit the floor their wolf guards responded immediately, fighting through the tide of cultists to reach their lords’ bodies. When they reached them where they thought they would find two dead space wolves, they found both lying on the ground using each other’s backs to prop themselves up blasting at the cultists around them with bolt pistols. Ragnar had a piece of steel punched through his left leg while Sven’s knee was bending the wrong way round, both had small cuts on their face from the shrapnel but the blood was already clotting.

‘May I suggest we fall back, my Lords?’ asked the Sigurd.

‘Yes priest, I think you may be right,’ replied Sven.

Just as the wolves started to fall back a cultist with a sniper rifle pulled the trigger and shouted out a praise to his gods. Sven collapsed to the ground.

He grasped his friend’s hand and with a grim smile said ‘I will see you in hell brother.’

Hm...nice story but there are a few things...(I apologise if I appear to be harsh.)

 

1) too many times the word "brother" for my taste,

2) you should divde the dialogues so that they are more discernable (it looks better)

3) I think there's a bit too much banter and not enough action/atmosphere for my taste

4) it all happens a bit too quickly...you should add a bit more 'meat' to the story.

 

Again, this is all my point of view, take what you want from it.

 

Hope that helps! :D

thanks it has i see what you mean about my use of brother. i corrected the other points as best as i could but this is only the the first chapter the story is based on the first chapter. the second part is just explaining his history on the planet.

lol well which one you hate more cos i cona slag them (no offence calgar but me and my old smirf army had a fallout cough squad of guardsmen plus creed kills calgar and honour guard some how cough)

edit i will not personaly slag them i mean that the wolves will

If the no offence was aimed at me dont worry. I started with the Smurfs then did DIY and now Ahwooo!(Space Wolves:P) Only chose Calgar101 as my name as everything else i wanted was taken ;) Slag the Smurfs off :lol: I will in my sotry... as well as others.. Muwahahahahahaha. But yea wheres the next chapter?

Thats no excuse! I made a SW battle force, another drop pod, a land raider, Master of the forge and 4 serivtors, Njal and 10 Terminator wolf guard as well as a host of other things and still added! There is no respite, no peace! There is only writing!

 

Seriously thats cool, make sure its good ;) As im sure it will be.

 

If you find anything i say annoying or tastless just tell me and well i'll dunno..

Drop pod deck on ‘Fenris’ Fury’

 

‘Get to your pod!’ shouted a sergeant farther down the deck.

Ragnar sniffed the air; he could smell the blood claws excitement, the grey hunters steely resolve and his own wolf guards’ eagerness for combat. He smiled to himself, this was going to be a interesting campaign.

‘Lord Ragnar to the bridge,’ came ship master Thengir’s voice over the vox.

‘Ship master we are about to drop,’ replied Ragnar trying to keep the annoyance from his voice.

‘I know Lord but this demands your attention now.’

‘I will be with you shortly.’

‘CANCEL THE DROP!’ Ragnar shouted to his company.

‘What is it Lord?’ asked one of his wolf guard.

‘I don’t know brother.’

 

Bridge on ‘Fenris’ Fury’

 

‘This better be good ship master,’ said Ragnar as he entered the bridge.

‘It is Lord; a space marine battle barge has just entered this system.’

‘What? Is it broadcasting an identity code?’

‘Yes Lord its code defines it as ‘Victory’s Might’ an Ultramarine ship.’

‘Dam it why do those starch asses always have to come and get in the way.’

‘They are demanding a meeting with you.’

‘Tell then fine but they come here to our ship.’

‘They are coming towards us at cruising speed,’ said one of the helms men

‘I will take that as a yes brothers,’ said Ragnar sarcastically

‘Lord?’

‘Get the porters to prepare a feast for our Ultramarine brothers and tell them to use our strongest beer.’

‘Yes Lord.’

Ragnar left the bridge and when the doors closed Thengir asked his helms men with a wolfish smile ‘I wonder what our Lord has planned.’
