The Scourging of Siox - Emperor's Scythes (DIY Chapter)


Recommended Posts

I have been slowly working on this between projects and real life, and I decided it was time to get some of it up here on B&C, Its a bit rough round the edges and i'll be updating when I can. Hope you enjoy.

“This is Lord Militant Vincent Edgar, requesting immediate assistance, the Siox system is underattack. Initial reports suggest Chaos. All military forces and P.D.F units have been deployed. Planetary defence platforms are holding but we can’t be certain for how long. Send reinforcements.”

Chapter 1



 

Captain Lykos strode onto the bridge of the Emperor’s Scythe’s strike cruiser, Eternal Reckoning. The air was thick with incense, the lack of light causing his auto-senses to compensate. There was little in the way of decoration or
ornamentation, the only real feature on the bridge was the command throne where Brother Aegon sat connected to the mind impulse unit

“Report”

“All systems
checks complete, we can make way on your order Captain.” Replied Brother Aegon
looking down from his command throne.

“Then let us make haste. Set course for the Siox system.”

Lexicanium Icarion fell back under another flurry of blows, only managing to dodge the final strike that would have parted his head from his shoulders. How could this adversary keep up this sustained physical and mental assault without showing any signs of fatigue? Every attack rained down upon him as if he were an insect under foot, unable to save himself from the fate that had forced itself upon his very existence.  In that moment he realised that he’d lost, his thoughts had strayed, his guard had lowered and at any moment…Pain exploded through his abdomen, quickly followed by a concussive blow to the head that sent him crashing to the floor.

 Icarion lay looking up at the gun metal grey ceiling of the private training room of Epistolary Kyros on board the Eternal Reckoning, and not for the first time this morning.

 “If you ever wish to make the rank of Codicier you will regain focus.” Chastised Kyros retaking position on the far side of the room “Now attack with both blade and mind as one”

Edit: Spelling and adjustments

I didnt see that i thought the scythes of the emperor were just that, now thats a shame. Back to the drawing board for name then. Really want a scythes name. Oh well just something else to flesh out :-D

 

Cheers for the heads up though.
