Well Shit it is almost the end of the year, I might add that I did have this story ready to go on the 2/12/15, but chose not to upload it and focus more on the main stories I am writing, sorry about that, so as the new year approaches I decided to dish this out to all of you so you can enjoy it.

Chapter Four

"Now you lie, I am my father's son, I will always be, I am the angel of his pure wrath!" Sanguinius to Kyriss (Fear to Tread)

My eyes opened, I was upon some sort of bed, I can smell the ash in the air, all of that was no dream it was real, much to my dismay.

I look around I am alone, I can recall that I did send back the one that held the banner.

I am unsure if it is truly a victory, where one will go the others will follow, I also am in need of a way to return to my Chapter.

Mutants are accepted here, yet they do not know of the Four, for now, I will not take any chances with them.

They have proved not to be human, but I do not possess the means to take them down.

I hear a voice call out to me "Oi, oi, big guy who was in red, you got up, I got to say you are impressive, we all thought you'd never wake up."

Ignoring the fact that they have stolen my power armour I say "It pleases me to know that I ruined all of your expectations."

I now look at it and ask "My armour, where is it?"

This one had face that looked like it had radiation leaking from his eyes, he is not human.

I am able to recall he must have been the one in the chariot, the female one from before.

It now replied to me "Relax, we had my bro the Smith God himself and most of his kids come by to remove it for you."

I look at him, he clearly wished to impress me with that, he clearly tell that he failed to do that, miserably I might add.

He now gave a sigh and said "You can at least act impressed."

I do not respond to that.

No instead I ask "The time frame, how long was I out of action?"

The figure now gave a sigh and said "You really are all about war aren't you?"

I look at it and say "Yes, I am made for war, for the majority of my life that is all that I have ever known."

It now looked at me a bit sceptical, not that he has the right to be, he just is.

"So um, how old are you again?"

I look at him and then say "I am 429, I have been in active service for around 416 Terran Standard years."

It now said "Your armour, why does the setting sun have wings on it?"

I raise an eyebrow at this fool and say "It is not a setting sun, it is a rising sun, as for the wings, I will not say."

It had clearly just changed the topic, I did not care for it, all that I required was my armour and the power sword that I had been given, I will then leave this place entity.

It now stated "Your armour and that um, big sword you have, what was it made out of, we couldn't figure it out?"

I in turn reply "That is your own failing not mine, I am not obliged in any shape or form to tell you what it is."

In reply to that it said "Ah, the ass approach, you know you won't ever have friends with that attitude?"

In turn I just say "Such things are irrelevant, I stand besides my brothers in battle, that does not require such things, only loyalty."

It looked at me again and now asked "So um, you got a name that I can call you, the big guy in red can only go so far."

I just remark "There are plenty who are bigger than I, as for my name you can call me Neos."

It was at this point that the one who took female form came in, I can tell that she was still in shock.

All of this, it was here fault, be it known to her or not, she had dared to trespass on a genetic memory 10,000 years old.

She had brought one of the Four to her world, it would now pay the price for her hubris and arrogance.

She now addressed the other entity and said "Apollo, I can see that the fool is up, has he give you any answer about what that thing was and why it was here?"

For the first time since I had come here I laugh loud and deep so that it would know what I think of it.

"I a fool, your pride, your stupidity, it has doomed this world, where one goes the rest will follow."

I now give a pause in my laughter as I now say "What came, it was not the best, I have bested it before, with the aid of my brothers, you were unable to harm it."

I now close my eyes as I said "Why it was here, it was invited by no less, you are a fool beyond all others, you looked into what was not yours to see, now you and all you know will pay the price for that, know that before you die."

The one who she called Apollo looked at her and said "Athena, you just got served."

It was clear that the female entity was enraged at what I had just said to her, that was why I had said it.

She now lashed out at me "You do not know your place mortal, I am Athena the Goddess of Wisdom, I am the maiden of War, choose your next word carefully or I shall end you!"

I look at her and shake my head as I say "You clearly are not, if you were, you would have been able to harm that Bloodthirster, it is an entity of violence, not one of the greatest of it's kind."

I let that thought sit with her, if she has even an iota of wisdom she may be able to process the implications of what I just said, not that I care if it does or does not, she is like them.

It now looked at me as if I was mad as it said "Surely you know that I have the power to let you live as well as to kill you!"

In reply to her all I say is "You have a short memory, did I not tell you that I know no fear, if the Bloodthirster cannot make me feel it, then how can you."

The entity Apollo cleared its throat "As much as I hate to say it, he is not lying to us about that, so um can we cut with the threats and get back to what it was we were meant to ask?"

Athena as it is called looked at the other one by the name of Apollo and asked "I should just let him insult me like this, I do not let things like this slide!"

In turn it now said to it's fellow "Also when he said it was your fault, he was telling the truth as well, so it kind of is your fault?"

I now state to her what it was that she did wrong "You looked into the black clouds, you saw what it was that was reflected in their, you looked one of them in the eyes and they saw you, you fled in fear."

The one called Athena I could feel it, she was about to recall what it was that she had seen so I say "Do not speak of it, you have no right to, it is not your place to."

It's grey eyes now glared at me but I did not move, I know no fear, perhaps she needs to learn what that means.

"You dare speak to a Goddess in such a tone!"

I now roar back at her "A memory of my gene sire put down what the two of you could not, you are but a fragile insect compared to who he is, you have not earned the right to know of him, you are but a thief, I am a proud warriors who has stood and fought against the onslaught of Chaos against the galaxy for centuries, you are nothing, you are no deity, your weak, you are foolish and you can be killed."

I can feel both the thirst in my throat swelling as well as the roar of the black clouds as they came now in waves crashing around my soul.

She has offended me, I will not let this slide "I care not for what you say you are, I am Neos, 2nd Captain of a Blood Angels Successor Chapter, my Kin have crusaded from star to star in the name of mankind, you who isn't capable of inter solar space travel should shut their mouths."

Normal POV

The first thing that was heard was that of a once grumpy old man who had found his cheer.

"By far, what you said, is magnificent, I always wanted to hear Athena being called and idiot, brutal but I respect you, I see that you refuse to hold anything back."

Athena now whirled around in anger and said "Dionysus, this is no laughing matter!"

Dionysus did not care "Oh my, the only reason I came to see what was going on was the barrier was down, that being due to said man in red being thrown through it."

He now gave a rather content grin as he now looked Athena in the eye.

"From which I hear is your fault, all your fault actually, oh this is long over due, also I know a certain guy with a trident, who is not happy you put his son in such a situation."

He now gave a laugh and said "It'd be good to see someone else getting struck with lighting for a change, Hera's not going to let you weasel your ass out of this one."

He was laughing again Neos at this point said "I take it that you are the one who violates rules and regulations on a regular basis, from your tone, you pay a much higher price for doing so than most do."

Dionysus in turn said "Hit the nail on the head, there Mr, um Neos?"

Neos now said "If you wish to address me in any form, it is Lord 2nd Captain Neos."

Apollo now asked "So you are the big number 2 in your um, Chapter?"

In reply to this Neos said "I am not compelled to explain to you the hierarchy nor do I have the patience to."

Apollo looked a little offended "What, you think we're all dumb, like Athena what we would not understand this Chapter of yours?"

Neos in turn raised his eyebrow "It is not a thing to be said likely, I also don't care to explain it to you for it is not of my kins creation and that of another.

Apollo now gave a nod and said "So it is not were to slow and dumb, but more of it annoys the crap out of you when you say it?"

In turn Neos said "That would not be the term I would use to describe it, but you are close to it in a sense."

Apollo now turned to Athena a big grin on his sunny face "See Athena, he's not all that bad, you should think before you let your fists fly, you did and you just invited a massive shit storm!"

Neos now interjected "I believe the phrase you seek is Warpstorm."

Apollo now said "Yeah, what the big guy in red said, what is a Warpstorm?"

Neos now said "A anomaly in the Warp, it where the creatures that reside with in it pour into the material realm and drink their fill of the essence of all those that reside here."

Apollo now said "You make them sound like you know, Christian Demons other ilk from such things and all."

In reply to that Noes said "The term that you seek this time is Daemons."

He now threw his gaze to Athena "You opened the window to them and ran, it is flaw with windows, you need to close, if you do now, you are unaware of what may be coming through them."

Dionysus now asked "So in a sense, you pop up, Athena reads your mind, sees some shit, it follows her and now the world is stuffed."

Neos now narrowed his eyes and said "That is a rather vulgar way to say, but you are not wrong, a window such as that should never be opened, the price for closing them I s often steep."

Apollo cautiously asked "So um, how steep are we asking?"

Neos shook his head "You do not have the resources to do so, not on a single world."

Athena now asked in some what of an arrogant tone "So what is it that they want?"

Neos did not mince his words when he replied to her.

"To corrupt and devour every soul that lives upon this world, to enslave it to their whims, to watch it die as all things in the material should in their eyes."

Apollo gave a blink and then said "So, in short, they want the living essence of the people, so in a sense their souls."

Neos gave him a nod "That is what they seek, but of the four do it in their own way, you have met the servant of the one will openly tell you that."

Apollo now said "There is more than them?"

Neos looked at him and said "Clearly there is more than one of you, the one whose extension you met is the Lord of Skulls, God of Murder, the war given form."

Apollo at this point blinked and said "Wow, shit, wait which war are we talking about."

Neos looked at him and said "It existed the moment the first clenched its fist with the desire to end life."

Apollo's jaw fell wide open, Dionysus's did too, Athena took a step back and she said "So, back even before the Titan."

Neos now cleared his throat, though it sounded like gears being ground together "If you believe you are responsible for the creation of reality, you are gravely mistaken, there are those who pre dated chaos, there genetic successors sail the stars, trying to do as they please."

Athena now picked up on his tone and asked "You say we are not alone, that there is life on other planets and that it has been there since before our world?"

Neos now blankly stated "Only the most naïve would believe they are the centre of the galaxy."

Apollo now turned to Athena "If this keeps up, you're going to stop being the Goddess of Wisdom."

Neos raised an eyebrow "More like the entity of idle curiosity."

The venom in the two words let them know what he thought of the word idle and curiosity.

Apollo now turned to Athena and said "Well looks like the Big Z will not have to pick out a new title for you, but you will have to change your animal from an owl to a cat, cause we all know curiosity killed the cat."

Neos just said "Her curiosity is yet to take a life, but the repercussions of it will soon, where one goes the rest will follow."

Apollo now asked "You haven't named any of the others, or the first one, can I ask why?"

In reply Neos said "Names are knowledge, knowledge is power, power corrupts and they would never share that sort of power."

Athena now asked "Could you at least the others so we know what to expect of them?"

Neos just said "This world is doomed since it stands alone, the one known first to humanity, is the Grandfather Death, Lord of Stasis, the Plague bearer, Lord of Decay."

Apollo now questioned "Wait hold up, what has Stasis got to do with Death?"

Neos now said "It is not death, it is the fear of death, those who follow it seek to live."

Dionysus now added "I take it they all got a pretty crappy deal."

In reply Neos said "Those I have slain, were all content and declared that there god loved them, urge them to join it."

All three Olympians got the message, he killed those guys whoever they were, not that it mattered right now.

"It's rival is the Changer of Ways, the Lord of Lies, Lord of the Arcane, it has been proven that it can rewrite fate at a whim."

This clearly sacred all three Olympians in the room, Neos decided to impart a little extra knowledge and said "One of said entity's favoured servants is title the Fateweaver."

Athena now asked "So he influences fate?"

Neos now said "That will imply that you know its goals and none do."

Safe to say that really sacred them, clearly they didn't possess such abilities and fear those who did.

Apollo now said "Why do I get the feeling that the last one is going to make me feel sick."

Neos now said "All of them should, you should feel revolted and disgusted by their existence, if not you can fall prey to them and become like the one you faced."

Apollo gave a sigh "Just say the last one please, I can get over this sick feeling then."

Neos narrowed his eyes "The last one, the youngest, is the Prince of Pleasure, the Lord of Excess or as the race who sins birth it, she who thirsts."

Dionysus now said "So I take it that it is both a guy and a girl?"

Neos shook his head "If its Servants are the example to go by then it is both at once, it is said to look upon it is to be enslaved to it for it takes the form you desire most."

Apollo gave a blink and went outside where he could hurl up whatever was in his stomach.

Athena now turned to her half brother Dionysus and said "All mockery aside, this cannot be known to just us three, all of us must meet at Olympus to discuss this."

Dionysus looked at her and said "Sure, you do that, I'll be at the camp."

Neos now said "I take it that you two do not often speak to one another nor are you on good terms."

Apollo had returned and said "Yeah, Athena does not get along well with really, well anyone to be precise, sure my sis and her get along, I think, oh and there is Aunt Hesita, but then again every one gets along with her."

Neos now said "I take it that some ability that she possesses."

Apollo shook his head "No actually she is just a likeable person."

Neos was clearly wasn't buying the nice person story, no matter how true it was.

Apollo now gave a sigh "Aw come on, can't a person be likeable just because they are, I mean like, don't you get along with at least some of your family?"

In reply Neos didn't miss a beat as he stated "Brotherhood calls for no friendship, it only demands loyalty."

Apollo "Um, don't you have like a mother or father you talk to."

Neos then said "One does not return to their home world and show who and who did not survive or pass the trails."

Apollo just said "I think I understand, just a little of it at least."

Athena in turn stated "I know that I do understand."

It came off a little arrogantly which was bad for her.

Since Neos had arrived or rather since said Goddess of Wisdom had messed up, it had been open season on her, the season was yet to be concluded.

Neos turned to her and said "If you claim to do so, then say it to me, I will great pleasure in mocking you if you fail to mention a single thing."

He said this in a blank tone and with a blank face which Athena took as a challenge.

"Fine then, since you dare to question me I will enlighten you, you do so to hide the shame of those who failed and those who died."

Neos shook his head "That is merely an additional benefit, a trivial matter that warrants no concern or passes any of our minds."

Apollo gave him the thumbs he liked this guy, even though said person did not like him or any entity for that matter.

"Hey Athena is it me or are you making mistake after mistake after mistake this day?"

Neos now stated "One should never claim to be wise, it for others to say that you are, to claim that you're wise is to prove that you are anything but it."

Dionysus gave a laugh, he did not do it too often, but he had done it a bit too many times today.

"Oh, it is still Open Season on Athena, I hope it doesn't run out until after judgement has been passed on you."

Athena decided to ignore that rather than dig herself deeper than she already had.

Dionysus now turned to Neos and said "Hey ever considered short term employment, until the meeting at Olympus, want to hang here and teach the kids sword play?"

Neos's POV

I reply to it "The burden and honour of instructing the young initiates belongs to Master of Recruits, the 10th Company Captain, the most oldest and wisest of us."

The one named Athena now spoke to me, I was sure that she was trying to provoke a reaction, it is my pleasure to disappoint her.

"Oh so wisdom does came with age where you're from."

I turn to her and blankly state "That is not usually the case, just ask the Eldar."

The one called Apollo now asked of me "Wait hold up, who the heck names a group of people Eldar."

I now state to him "It is not a group of people who I refer to, but an entire race, it is what they are called in this language."

The one named Apollo said "Well shit, who the hell named them."

I say what I know "The ones who made them, the only translation I know of is the old ones."

I now add "Like the Eldar who they created they predate the existence Chaos."

I see that all three of them are thrown off by this, I would be pleased, but I suspect it is not for the reason I would like to believe it is.

I say only what I have been told "It was not not always a void storm upon the ocean or so they say, it would like to confirm it myself."

The one called Dionysus now asked me "So you're saying stuff was their before Chaos was?"

It is clear that what they think is Chaos and what I know is Chaos are not the same or are in a different form.

I do not feel the urge to either enlighten them or correct them, so I simply answer "Are you that adamant that you are the centre of the universe."

The one called Apollo now stated "Well Zeus does call himself the King of the Universe."

I state to them "That is a bold title for those who are yet to move off there own planet and colonise their moon."

All three of them had no reply for me, the one called Apollo now said "Well it does kinda sound stupid when you put it like that, wait I ride the chariot of the sun, so that it is in the sky."

I decide to take a different approach to this one "So I take that there is one of these chariots for every planet that exists, so let me ask you, who drives those ones."

The one named Apollo seemed to wish to speak, but then he turned pale.

"Wait hold up, you mean to say that humanity is out there and has many suns, I'd have to set all of them to auto pilot."

I decided to add to his worries by saying "Each had their own unique cycle, Fenris takes four Terran standard years to do orbit their sun."

The one named Apollo said "I'm going to have to tap out at this point, wait you said orbit, you mean to say that the Earth moves around the Sun, are you telling me that my job is pointless?"

I just reply to it "I have said no such thing, those are your own words."

The one called Dionysus now laughed as he said "I see so, Sunshine, you just came to know, so you've been doing a Helios's job since he well faded and you didn't need to or on the bright side if said giant man is wrong, you're not pulling one sun but heaps of them for every planet."

The one called Apollo gave a sigh "So wait, I either have been wasting my time or I have to pull, what say a thousand sun chariots."

I decide to enlighten him to the populace of the Imperium.

"The number is much more than a thousand and it is both constantly contracting as well as expanding."

The one named Dionysus now asked "Hey hold up, your serious about all of this, you're not making a joke at Sunshine here are you?"

I answer him "Why would I jest about this, planetary orbit is not the most exhilarating topic, unless you are blasting said planet out or further in orbit."

The arrogant one, Athena as it is called now challenged me "You would ruin it's planets ecosystem for your own gain?"

I blankly stated "Victory is what matters, the word you just said is clearly not."

The one by the name of Dionysus now said "Well aren't I glad, Demeter and Hades reluctant wife aren't here, they' have a word with you about that."

I look to him and say "They may speak all they like, I care not for what they have to say, if doesn't cover combat, then speak to those in charge of such things."

The one by the name of Apollo just said "Okay, now that we have clarified that Mr, I mean Lord 2nd Captain Neos, here does not get along well with any of us, let us take him to Olympus, so he can tell what he told us to the rest of us."

I look at it and say "Tell them what you wish, I have no intent to repeat myself, to repeat such things is to alert them to you, given the current situation I'd rather not."

The one called Athena now spoke arrogantly to me once more "That is not for you to decide mortal, you are in are world and we are the Gods who govern it, you will do as we say."

I turn to her and say "You can think that, for all the good that it will do for you, the Four will certainly remember that when they take this world and everything else from you."

She was angry, I did not care, her anger was her own problem not mine, if she had not the sanity to see what was about to happen to her world it was her own undoing.

The one named Apollo decided to step in and said "Okay, you chill here and we'll go check this in with the rest of us." I now ask it "My armour, where is it."

It in turn replied to me "Yeah one of the kids should bring it to you, well see you later."

Okay there it is sorry about Dionysus being happy and all, I just think he'd actually be happy that Someone else is going to get into deep shit for a change. Like I said before sorry about that late upload it has been near 2 months since I put up a Chapter.
