"Bekle ve gör , Gargolmar. Sabırsızlanma. Sona geliyoruz. Herşeye diz çöktürdüğüm anda benimle birlikte olma onurunu yaşayacaksın. Daha fazlasını isteme artık da sus."
Gargolmar çığlıklar atarak birisiyle kavga eder gibi görünüyordu. Odasının kapısında dizilmiş olan hizmetkarlarından hiçbiri içeriye girmeye cesaret edemiyordu.
"Burda hiçbirşey yapmadan durucak mıyız? Belki, yardımımıza ihtiyacı vardır? Lord Sima Yi?"
"Lilith, içeri girmek istiyorsan seni engelleyecek değilim. Ancak içeriye girip geri dönmeyen hizmetkarlardan seni haberdar etmeliyim. Bu riski almak istediğinden emin misin?"
Lilith ne yapacağını bilmez bir şekilde etrafa bakarken, gözü Dr. Mindbender'a takıldı. Konuyla ilgisiz bir şekilde , kapıda birikmiş grubun yanına gelen doktor, elinde kendisinden başka kimsenin ne olduğunu anlaması güç bir cihazı kurcalamaktaydı.
"HAH! Şimdi bir de sizin gereksiz isteklerinizi sunmanızı mı beklicem ha?!! Şunu anlamalısınız ki, BİLİM BEKLEMEZ! Bir doktor da , basit kişilerin ardında sıra beklemez! Çekilin bakim!"
Kapıda bekleyenlerin şaşkın bakışları içinde, Dr. Mindbender kapıya yöneldi. Kapıyı çalmadan içeri gireceğini farkedenler, eldar çevikliklerinin sınırlarını zorlayan bir süratle kapının önünü terkedip ortadan kaybolurken, Doktor, cahil insanlar ve garip huyları diye söylenerek içeriye girdi.
"Lordum Gargolmar! Merhaba! Bilim bugün de hepimizin yüzüne güldü. Bu elimdeki cihazın... ohh yo."
Haemonculus'u duraklatan şey, kaptan köşkünün zeminini süsleyen cesetlerden çok, kendisine doğru bakan Gargolmar olmuştu.
"Eeee, evet o zaman öyleyse ben sonra da gelsem olur evet.."
"DUR ORDA!! Bana cevaplar vereceksin. Soru bir! Yaşayan herşeyin ölümünün sırrını biliyor musun?"
"Eeh, tabi bazı teoriler.."
"SORU İKİ! Kaç günlük yolumuz kaldı?"
"Ehh..., 5! Evet 5. Tabi ya. Tamı tamına 5!"
"Pekiiiii. Soru 3. Bu yerdekileri ben mi öldürdüm?"
"Bu kadar ince işçilikle ve müthiş bir zerafet.."
"BEN Mİ LAN BEN Mİ!?!"
"Evet, evet, evet, evet!"
"Peki tamam. Siktir git odamdan. İşim var."
"Ben şu an zaten gittim. Evet."
"Doktor sana yanlış bilgi verdi, sevgili Gargolmar. Kalan yolumuz yok. Geldik."
Golgotha sistemi, başına geleceklerden habersiz bir şekilde , güneşinin etrafındaki hareketine devam etmekteydi. Sistemdeki kolonize edilmemiş olan tek gezegen Nymus IV'e yaklaşan dark eldar gemilerini kimse tespit etmemişti.
"Şimdi , Gargolmar , genç dostum, bu gezegenin yüzeyinde gizlenen Eldar harikasına şahit olmaya hazırlan!"
Nymus IV'ün yüzeyine inen keşif grubu, Raiderlarla ilerlemekteydi. Gargolmar çorak yüzeyin üstünde, diğer yerlerden bir farkı varmış gibi gözükmeyen bir yerde durma emri verdi.
"Girişe geldik. Şu noktaya konsantre bir el blaster atışı istiyorum. Ateş!"
Silahların toprağa çarptığı kısım, yavaş eriyip dağılmaya ve altındaki metal kısmı ortaya çıkartmaya başlamıştı. Bir noktada, siyah metal kısmın bir kapı içerdiği ortaya çıktı.
Kapıyı da zor kullanarak açmayı başaran korsanlar, nereye gittiğini bilmedikleri bu kapıdan içeriye girdiler. Karanlık koridorlarda bir yöne doğru ilerlemeye başlayan korsanlar, yol aldıkça içine girdikleri şeyin boyutunun ne kadar büyük olduğunu hesaplamaya başlamışlardı.
Karanlıkta bir odaya girdiklerinde, Gargolmar durma emri verdi. Etrafa bakıp gözlerini karanlığa iyice alıştıran korsanlar, burasının bir geminin köprüsünü andırdığını farketmişlerdi.
Gargolmar, köprüdeki tahta doğru ilerledi ve bu sırada kesesinden kristalleri çıkardı. Tahta oturduktan sonra, önündeki paneli inceleyen Gargolmar, panel üzerinde kristaller için soketlerin bulunduğunu farketti. Önce hilali, sonra da yıldızı yerine oturtan Archon, beklemeye başladı.
Kristaller kendi renklerinde ışıklarla parlamaya başlarken, içinde bulundukları kompleks titremeye başladı.
"Beyler ve bayanlar. Sıkı tutunun. Başlıyoruz."
Gemide kalan Hasareleth ve Grimes, gezegeni izliyorlardı. Bir kaç saattir hiçbirşeyin olmamış olması konusunda hissettiklerini, tükürükler saçarak etrafına anlatan Hasareleth, yanında kendisine birşeyler anlatmaya çalışan Grimes'i da duymamazdan gelmeyi başarıyordu.
Gezegenin çorak yüzeyinin çatlamaya başladığını gördüğünde ise, herkesi şaşırtan bir şekilde sustu. Çatlayan toprak kısımdan yükselen şeye anlam vermek ise , ilk birkaç dakika için imkansızdı. Dev cihazın yükselişini izleyen korsanlar, Bu siyah 12 köşeli bir yıldızı andıran devasa gemiyi görünce ise , Hasareleth'e suskunlukta katılmışlardı.
"Şimdi, Gargolmar, çok dikkatle izle. Irkımızın bu şaheserinin, Güneşöldüren'in, neler yapabildiğini gördüğün zaman, bütün itirazlarına son vereceğinden eminim."
Gargolmar, bu kadim Eldar cihazının içinde iken, gemisi , Fist of Fury'nin komutasını bıraktığı Dracon Khemtir, köprüde tedirgin bir şekilde beklerken, efendisi tarafından kullanıldığını tahmin ettiği cihazdan bağlantı geldiği haberini aldı.
"++Dracon! Ben Gargolmar. Filoyu al ve Webway'e gir. Geri dönüş için benden haber bekleyin. Çabuk!++"
Dracon , filonun Webway'e girişini sağlarken, son gördüğü, dev cihazın Golgotha sisteminin güneşine doğru yaklaştığı oldu.
++ Güneşöldüren, ateşlemeye hazır. Kaptan olarak kimi kullanmalıyım?++
İçerdeki herkes, geminin sesiyle irkilmişti. Craftworldlü kuzenlerinin kullandığı wraithlerinkine benzeyen bir ses gemiyi inletmişti.
Oturduğu tahtta iyice öne yönelen Gargolmar, sese cevap verdi.
"Ben Hammanas Archedoleth, Eldar İmparatorluğu'nun Autarch'ı, ve bu geminin kaptanı!"
++İsim kabul edildi, Kaptan.++
"ATEŞ!!"
12 köşeli yıldız şeklindeki geminin, her ucundan çıkan beyaz renkli ışınlar merkeze doğru yoğunlaşmaya başladı. 12 köşeden de çıkan ışık, birleşmiş gözüküyordu.
++Silah hazır, Kaptan. Ateşlemek için sizi kullanmam gerekli.++
"Tamam, Güneşöldüren, daha fazla beklemeye gerek yok. ATEŞ! ATEŞ! ATEŞ!"
12 ışının birleştiği noktaya, geminin merkezinden çıkan 13üncü bir ışık daha eklenince, çevresini aydınlatan bir ışın , Golgotha sisteminin güneşine doğru ilerleyip ortasından çarptı. Gargolmar bu noktada iki şey farketti. Birincisi, Hammanas'ın, geminin gücü hakkında yalan söylemediğiydi. İzlediği sahne muhteşemdi. Bir sisteme hayat veren bu güneşin, sanki hiç varolmamışçasına yokolması saniyeler sürmüştü. Golgotha sistemi sakinlerinin son gördüğü ışık, hayatlarına son veren bu ışık olmuştu. Güneşin yokolmasıyla birlikte , yörüngelerinden çıkıp kontrolsüzce uzayın karanlığına savrulan gezegenler üzerinde hayatın sona ermesi pek zaman almamıştıysa da Gargolmar'In farkettiği ikinci şey bu değildi. Gargolmar'ın farkettiği ikinci şey, Hammanas'ın, silahın ateşlenmesiyle birlikte, içinden çekilircesine gitmiş olmasıydı. Gemi silahı ateşlemek için kaptanını yemişti. Eldarların böyle bir gücü sınırlandırma mekanizmasının böyle dramatik birşey olmasına şaşırmayan Gargolmar, uzun zaman sonra , zihninin ve ruhunun yine kendisine ait olduğu gerçeğiyle, kahkahalar atmaya başladı.
Gargolmar'ın tüm keyfini kaçıran şey, tekrar Hammanas'ın sesini duymak oldu.
"HAH! Benden kurtulmak bu kadar kolay değil , Gargolmar. Sana emrediyorum. Önündeki kristallerden yıldız şeklinde olanı eline al, ve tekrar ruhumu iç. Daha yapacak birsürü işimiz var."
Gargolmar'ı izleyen korsanlar, efendilerinin bu emre uyduğunu bir an düşündülerse de, Gargolmar'ın yıldızı yere atıp parçalamasıyla birlikte yanıldıklarını farkettiler.
Gemiyi aktive eden kristallerden birini parçalayan Gargolmar , siniri geçtikten sonra , etrafına bakındı.
++Aktivasyon anahtarlarında eksik var, Kaptan. Geminin motor ve silah kısımları deaktive edildi.++
Gargolmar yavaş yavaş kalktığı tahta tekrar oturdu. Yüzünde sakin bir ifade olan Archon, biraz yukarıya bakan bir şekilde, gemiye hitap etti.
"Güneşöldüren, ben Kaptan Gargolmar, Fist of Fury'e bağlantı açmanı istiyorum."
++İsim kabul edildi, Kaptan. Bağlantı açılıyor.++
"Fist of Fury, ben Gargolmar. Webway'den geri dönün."
Bu olayların sonrasında geçen bir kaç yılda, kendisine, çok dayanıklı, uzayın ücra bir karanlığında yer alan, bir ve hatta birden fazla filoyu barındıracak kadar devasa ve içinde aktif bir webway portal bulunan bir istasyon edinen ve Hammanas'tan kurtulmasıyla birlikte, yavaş yavaş yitirmekte olduğu aklını geri toparlayan Gargolmar, bu istasyonu kendisinin korsan barınağı yapmaya karar verdi.
Webway kullanımıyla uzayın heryerine ulaşımı rahatlıkla sağlayan Archon, diğer korsanların da , ( tabi gerekli ücretler karşılığında), bu istasyonda barınmasına izin vereceğini duyurdu ve kendisine bir korsan imparatorluğu kurmayı başardı.
Bu noktadan itibaren kendini Güneşöldüren'in Korsan İmparator'u ilan Gargolmar, sadece eldar değil, diğer ırklardan korsanlara da kapısını açmasıyla birlikte, zenginliğine zenginlik, gücüne güç katmaya başladı. Korsan İmparator Gargolmar'ın koyduğu tek yasak ise, büyücülük ve chaos güçlerine tapınmaktı. Kurduğu sistemi işletmek ile uğraşan Archon, yağma işlerini ise altındaki korsanlara bıraktı.

Gargolmar's Victory
"Kaçıyorlar Lordum. Kazandık. Kaçıyorlar."
Yaralı kolunu tutan Gargolmar, yanında heyecanla duran Sima Yi'ye baktı. Onun bu heyecanını pek paylaşmıyordu. Geleceğin ne getireceğini kestiremiyordu.
"Sima Yi! Kaçan orkları izlemeyi bırak da, bana Lilith'i getir. Bu iş artık bitsin."
Cübbesini sallaya sallaya koşturan Lilith, Gargolmar' ı görünce önünde diz çöktü. Savaş boyunca rifti kapalı tutan kız, yorgunluktan devrilmemek için efor sarfediyordu.
"Emirlerinizi... dinliyorum, Lord Gargolmar."
"Lilith, ayağa kalk. Anahtarın burada olduğunu ben bile hissediyorum. Şunu bulalım ve gidelim."
"Emredersiniz, Lordum. Rift bir süre daha kapalı durur. Ancak bu gezegeni bir an önce terketmemizi tavsiye ederim. Kullandığım Ward kapandığında, Rift eskisinden daha güçlü bir şekilde açılacaktır."
"Peki, tamam. Hızlı hareket ederiz. O konuda sıkıntımız yok. "
Korsanların önemli bir kısmı savaş alanını talan etmekle meşgul iken, Gargolmar ve yanındakiler, Rift çevresindeki Chaos Marine cesetlerini kurcalamaktaydı. Bir noktada, Sybarite Elbetthe, cesetlerden bir tanesinin üzerinde bir kristal buldu.
"Lordum, zannedersem aradığınız şey ..."
Elbetthe cümlesini bitiremeden, elindeki kristali farkeden Gargolmar, blasterını çekip savaşçıyı ağzından vurdu. Kafasız ve tüten ceset bir süre ayakta durdu ve sonra öne doğru devrildi.
"ANAHTARA BENDEN BAŞKASI DOKUNAMAZ, O KADAR!!" diye bağıran Archon, yere düşen cesetten hızlı hareket edip kristali yakaladı.
Kristal, beyaz renkli, parlamayan bir hilaldi. Elinde bu hilali tutan Gargolmar, Avatar'ın kalbinden söktüğü kızıl yıldız şekilli kristali de, belindeki bir keseden çıkarttı.
Sima Yi, efendisine dikkatli bir şekilde yaklaştı.
"Şimdi nereye gidiyoruz, Lordum?"
"Şimdi, sadık dostum, ışığı karartmaya gidiyoruz."
Yaralı kolunu tutan Gargolmar, yanında heyecanla duran Sima Yi'ye baktı. Onun bu heyecanını pek paylaşmıyordu. Geleceğin ne getireceğini kestiremiyordu.

Kara göründü!!!
" Bu sefer ki icadım ise , Lord Gargolmar, sizin özel ağız tadınız için hazırlandı. Çekinmeyin, tadına bakın!!"
Gargolmar önünde duran dev nargilenin marpucunu alırken, bir yandan da cam şişenin içinde çıplak bir şekilde bağırıp çağıran , camları yumruklayan kadına bir göz attı.
" İnsan esansını her nefeste hissedeceğinizi tahmin ediyorum Lordum."
Gargolmar'ın her nefesiyle birlikte kadın daha fazla bağırmaya, bir yandan da giderek solup yaşlanmaya başlamıştı.
"Tebrikler, Doktor. Bu beni biraz meşgul eder gibi. Ama sanki biraz çığlığı fazla olmuş. Ben insan nargilemi bol çığlıklı sevdiğime şu an karar vermiş olsam da bunu başkalarına sunucaksan dikkat ediverirsin. Tamam hadi çık git şimdi."
"Başüstüne Lord Gargolmar. Size bol bilimli günler dilerim."
Gargolmar insan nargilesinin tadını çıkarıp yıldızları izlerken, içeriye sarı cübbesini düzelterek Sima Yi girdi. İki dizinin üzerine çöküp, efendisine selam durduktan sonra, eski imparatorluktan kalma bir tarzla konuşmaya başladı;
"Saygılarımı sunarım Efendimiz. Beklediğiniz haberleri taşıma onuru tekrar şahsıma vakıf oldu. Aradığınız hazineyi gizlediğini düşündüğünüz gezegeni araştırdık ve bu gezegenin eski bir Eldar gezegeni olduğunu doğruladık . Emirleriniz nedir Efendimiz?"
İnsan nargilesin bol çığlık dolu bir nefes çeken Gargolmar, yavaşça Incubi Efendisi'ne doğru döndü.
"Söyle bakalım, Sima Yi, bu sefer hangi böcekleri ezmem gerekecek? Anahtarla aramda bulunan yolda varolmaya cüret edenler bu sefer kim? KİM HA KİM?!! KİM DİYORUM!?!
"Efendimiz. Bu doğrultuda sizi aydınlatacak bir rapor hazırladım. Yüksek müsadenizle ileteceğim. Düşmanlarımızdan ilki, Qunephe'den hatırlayacağınız insanlardan, kendilerine Angels of Salvation ismini veren ve bağlılığının kime olduğu şüphe dolu olan grup. Karşımıza tekrar çıkıyor olmaları tesadüf mü yoksa özel bir sebeple bizi izliyorlar mı henüz bilmiyoruz."
"ENDİŞEYE YER YOK! Bunlar şu beyazlı olan gençler değil mi işte? Çok sinirli ve çok ciddi beton suratlı bir yarma vardı başlarında? Geçelim bunları tamam. BAŞKA?!"
"ikinci önemli düşman ise Orklar. Anladığımız kadarıyla aralarında bazı anlaşmazlıklar var ancak, aralarında bazı önemli liderlerin olduğunu tahmin ediyoruz."
"Elinde hiç isim var mı, Incubus?"
"Yerlebir edilmiş bir maden kolonisinde , EN BÜYÜK PATRON ORKUNÇ PATRON , yazısına rastladık. Bu yazıyı öldürdükleri madencileri yanyana dizerek yazdıkları düşünülürse , bu eforu hakeden bir liderin orklar arasında önemli olduğunu düşündük."
"Orkunç ha?! Yoksa bu Orkeneral Orkunç Hepdövdü olmasın? Hapisteyken çok güzel anılarım oldu Orkunç'un çocuklarla Sima Yi, hatta bir gün beraber grotlarla top oynuyorduk da elinde ucu elektrikli sopasıyla orkun biri gelip bizim grot çocukları dürtmeye başladı. Sonra ben sinirlendim tabi, aldım bunun sopasını elinden, yer misin yemez misin ağzına burnuna vurdum bunun. Elektrikli olunca sopa çok ilginç bir suratı oldu o ork arkadaşın. Güldük eğlendik grotlarla hep ya hehehe ne günlerdi be."
"Anlıyorum, Efendimiz. Son düşmanımız ise Tau İmparatorluğu'nun gezegen üzerinde savunma güçleri."
"Sima Yi, eski dostum, bu raporlara çok özendiğini biliyorum ancak bir şeyi anlamadım. Bu Tau dediğin nedir?"
"Tau, Efendimiz, muhtelif hayvanlar ile fiziksel benzerlik göstermesine karşın, zeka sahibi bir ırk. İnsan hayvanı ile arasında önemli farkların olduğunu belirtmeliyim. Öncelikle, sizin şahsen takdir edeceğinizi düşündüğüm özellikleri, Warp ile bir bağlantıları yok, bu noktada cadı sahibi değiller. İkincisi ise,benim şahsen takdir ettiğim özellikleri, politika ve devlet yönetimi konusunda çok daha sinsi ve akılcılar. Gezegen üzerinde en çok dikkat etmemiz gereken gücün bu Tau'lar olduğunu düşünüyorum."
"Biz ortalığı boş bırakınca , meydan bu Tau'lara kalmış demek ki. Gezegene inince kalite kontrol yaparım ben kendimce. O zaman , sen git ve sıradaki gelsin, Incubus."
"Baş üstüne, Efendimiz."
Geri adımlarla, efendisinin odasını terkeden Sima Yi'nin ardından, içeriye üstünde siyah derilerden ve metal zincirlerden kıyafeti ve yüzünü tamamen kapatan aynalı kaskıyla bir Reaver girdi.
"Sen kimsin be adam?!" Ben Lilith'i bekliyodum. Ne istiyosun?! Kimsin sen?"
"Kaptan, bana iftira attılar. Git derdini Kaptan'a anlat dediler ben de geldim."
"E anlat be o zaman!"
"Şimdi Kaptan, bu gemide dönen Adrenalight ticaretinden haberdarsındır zaten. Ben kendimce, bu satıcıları soymaya karar verdim. Bunları izledim takip ettim. Sonra da soydum. Ölen oldu bir kısım. Sonra bunlar intikam almak için peşime düştüler benim. Benim genç oğlan ahırımı buldular. Orayı ateşe verdiler. Ben de bunun üzerine heatlance'imi motora takıp sağa sola ateş açtım. Yine bir kısım ölenler oldu."
" Ne anlatıyosun sen bana be?! Suç işlediğin kısma gelir misin artık! İftira falan diyodun."
" Eee, bunlar işte suç değiler mi?"
" Ne bilim be polis miyim ben! Senin adın ne bakim?"
" Reaverlar Omar the Terror derler."
" Git tamam saldım seni Terror. Bana Lilith'i bul getir."
" Kusura bakmayın Lordum, geciktim. Beni çağırmışsınız."
" Nerdesin sen be?! Senin yüzünden bu herifin hayat hikayesini dinliyorum iki saattir. Git şu aynanın karşısına geç, konsantre mi olucaksın artık napıcaksan, gezegende ilk nereye çarpıcam bişey söyle bana."
Lilith aynanın karşısına geçip, Gargolmar'ın, boynundaki tasmayı açan kelimeyi söylemesini beklerken, ayna üzerinde, bir figür belirmeye başladı."
" Cadıyı gönder ve beni dinle....."
Gargolmar önünde duran dev nargilenin marpucunu alırken, bir yandan da cam şişenin içinde çıplak bir şekilde bağırıp çağıran , camları yumruklayan kadına bir göz attı.
" İnsan esansını her nefeste hissedeceğinizi tahmin ediyorum Lordum."
Gargolmar'ın her nefesiyle birlikte kadın daha fazla bağırmaya, bir yandan da giderek solup yaşlanmaya başlamıştı.
"Tebrikler, Doktor. Bu beni biraz meşgul eder gibi. Ama sanki biraz çığlığı fazla olmuş. Ben insan nargilemi bol çığlıklı sevdiğime şu an karar vermiş olsam da bunu başkalarına sunucaksan dikkat ediverirsin. Tamam hadi çık git şimdi."

İnsan nargilesin bol çığlık dolu bir nefes çeken Gargolmar, yavaşça Incubi Efendisi'ne doğru döndü.

Victory is mine!
"YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD STOP ME?! HA?! GARGOLMAR THE NIHILATOR! You are nothing compared to my power you miserable wretch! I have slaughtered your weakling kind in dozens and you still dare to stand before me! Now look upon this battlefield and tell me, what do you see?! What you see here is what happens when you mess with Gargolmar the Nihilator! This is your doom!"
"My Lord Gargolmar, are you talking with that space marine corpse or were you adressing one of us?"
Gargolmar was standing upon the corpse of a space marine of bone white armour, and shouting to his dead face. Left arm of the dead warrior have been turned to dust and his face was battered and bloody.
"Do not dare to question me, minion! Just do as I said and find me a clue or something!"
Sima Yi, leader of the Incubi that is under the command of Gargolmar, straightened his yellow robe and kneeled before Gargolmar."
"Apologies, Hallowed Liege. My intent was not to question but to inform. My warriors and I have done as you commanded and I am honoured to declare that we are succesful. We have found a Shrine of Khaine, dedicated to his Aspect of the Storm Lord. "
Archon's face started to change slowly with relief. Sima Yi noticed a familiar gaze, a gaze he did not notice upon his master for some time. The troubled, demented eyes and the disturbing smile was gone. There was a calm voice when he spoke.
"Thank you, Sima Yi. You have been of great service to me. I wish this search to come to an end and have some Isha-damned peace. I...I just want ...this.. curse to ... end."
"My Liege, what is.."
"SILENCE MINION! Get Lilith, Hasareleth and Grimes and lead me to this Shrine. We have work to do."
As the main force looted the battlefield anything of value, a small force was standing watch around entrance. Four figures were at the entrance.
"This is a glorious moment my Lord. I'm really delighted to see you victorious with your pursuit."
"Cut the fucking chatter you fucking psy-whore! "
"Damn, Hasareleth shut up! If he hears you we'll be.."
"Be silent, both of you. Do not invoke my master's wrath in this moment of triumph."
"Follow me."
There was an unrecognizable stone ruin in front of them. What Sima Yi's warriors have found was stairs going down. Gargolmar stepped down.
"We are in here for hours. I think we are lost and we are running out of coffee. I think we should go back and.."
"If you or anyone else talks about going back again, I will make them eat their own intensines while singing Imperial church songs, do you understand me wholly clear , hmmmmm?"
"Hehehe, he's funny Grimes."
"Hasareleth, you really dont know when to shut up, dont you?"
"Shut your whore mouth when the men are talking, witch!"
"My Liege, I have found something. I think you and your pet-witch should have a look."
There was a large mirror in the wall, so similar to the Mirror they had on the ship just this was ten meters high and five meters wide. There was a symbol of Khaine on top of it.
"Lilith, my little pet. Activate it."
"As you wish, Lord." Lilith put his hand upon the glass and concentrated. As she unleashed her warp-gifted powers, etched runes upon wraithbone started to shimmer and Grimes started to spray coffee out. Lilith backed from the mirror and stood behind Gargolmar.
A voice, ancient and powerful started to talk.
"ASK AND YOU SHALL BE ANSWERED ."
"I think I know this one. Oh mirror mirror on the wall. Tell me how I can find the key before I fall?"
"TO HAVE THE KEY, FIRST YOU MUST BE WORTHY. I CAN TEST IF YOU ARE MADE OF COPPER OR GOLD, BUT YOUNG ONE, YOU MUST BEST THE OLD."
"I am not afraid of any test! I shall defeat anything to get the key!"
"PREPARE YOURSELF."
At first the glass started to get colourful and started to bend like it was being heated. A sillhouette appeared behind the bended glass, and it was nothing of this world. The towering figure stepped in to this world and all darkness have been illuminated. After one more step, and Gargolmar was standing before a god. A god of fire and brimstone. A god of hate and vengeance. A god of courage and might. A god of the Eldar. An avatar of Khaine, and it was pointing his sword at Gargolmar.
" Holy mother of Isha! Attack!" Gargolmar pulled his Huskblade and started to charge.
" A most worthy foe , you have brought upon us, Lord. I thank you deeply for this battle of battles!" Sima Yi, not a moment lost, joined his lord on his assault upon a god with matched fervor.
" TAKE THIS YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Hasareleth was firing his splinter cannon while Grimes was dodging a falling stone while trying to protect his coffee pot.
" Isha's will be done. Fate has turned its back upon you, oh Lord of Fire. "
Mortal weapons clashed with the power of a god. With the help of a Farseer behind their back, dark eldar warriors fought against unmatched fury and won. As its molten body begun to disintagrate, it stopped.
" YOU HAVE PROVED YOURSELF WORTHY, THUS I GRANT YOU THE KEY."
At that moment, it put its hand inside its chest and pulled free a red crystal. It was shaped like a star and glowing with an orange energy. Gargolmar took it with care and found out that it was not hot. After the delivery of the key, the Avatar got back inside the mirror and disappeared.
"I think you have what you came here for, my Lord. That is the key , correct?"
"I HAVE THE POWER!'
"My Lord Gargolmar, are you talking with that space marine corpse or were you adressing one of us?"
Gargolmar was standing upon the corpse of a space marine of bone white armour, and shouting to his dead face. Left arm of the dead warrior have been turned to dust and his face was battered and bloody.
"Do not dare to question me, minion! Just do as I said and find me a clue or something!"
Sima Yi, leader of the Incubi that is under the command of Gargolmar, straightened his yellow robe and kneeled before Gargolmar."
"Apologies, Hallowed Liege. My intent was not to question but to inform. My warriors and I have done as you commanded and I am honoured to declare that we are succesful. We have found a Shrine of Khaine, dedicated to his Aspect of the Storm Lord. "
Archon's face started to change slowly with relief. Sima Yi noticed a familiar gaze, a gaze he did not notice upon his master for some time. The troubled, demented eyes and the disturbing smile was gone. There was a calm voice when he spoke.
"Thank you, Sima Yi. You have been of great service to me. I wish this search to come to an end and have some Isha-damned peace. I...I just want ...this.. curse to ... end."
"My Liege, what is.."
"SILENCE MINION! Get Lilith, Hasareleth and Grimes and lead me to this Shrine. We have work to do."
As the main force looted the battlefield anything of value, a small force was standing watch around entrance. Four figures were at the entrance.
"This is a glorious moment my Lord. I'm really delighted to see you victorious with your pursuit."
"Cut the fucking chatter you fucking psy-whore! "
"Damn, Hasareleth shut up! If he hears you we'll be.."
"Be silent, both of you. Do not invoke my master's wrath in this moment of triumph."
"Follow me."
There was an unrecognizable stone ruin in front of them. What Sima Yi's warriors have found was stairs going down. Gargolmar stepped down.
"We are in here for hours. I think we are lost and we are running out of coffee. I think we should go back and.."
"If you or anyone else talks about going back again, I will make them eat their own intensines while singing Imperial church songs, do you understand me wholly clear , hmmmmm?"
"Hehehe, he's funny Grimes."
"Hasareleth, you really dont know when to shut up, dont you?"
"Shut your whore mouth when the men are talking, witch!"
"My Liege, I have found something. I think you and your pet-witch should have a look."
There was a large mirror in the wall, so similar to the Mirror they had on the ship just this was ten meters high and five meters wide. There was a symbol of Khaine on top of it.
"Lilith, my little pet. Activate it."
"As you wish, Lord." Lilith put his hand upon the glass and concentrated. As she unleashed her warp-gifted powers, etched runes upon wraithbone started to shimmer and Grimes started to spray coffee out. Lilith backed from the mirror and stood behind Gargolmar.
A voice, ancient and powerful started to talk.
"ASK AND YOU SHALL BE ANSWERED ."
"I think I know this one. Oh mirror mirror on the wall. Tell me how I can find the key before I fall?"
"TO HAVE THE KEY, FIRST YOU MUST BE WORTHY. I CAN TEST IF YOU ARE MADE OF COPPER OR GOLD, BUT YOUNG ONE, YOU MUST BEST THE OLD."

Revelations
Gargolmar was restless. After scouring the majority of Quenephe, location of the key was still unknown to him. Though he was enjoying the slaughter that he was wreaking upon, his primary goal was still unmet. Under his gaze from the orbit, planet Quenephe was continueing its eternal dance. He was tired though he didnt knew why. It has been days since his last battle. His left arm was aching with fatigue. Thats when he realised that he was holding a weapon. In his hand there was a blood-coated blade of bone and blood seemed to be fresh. Strange. He had no memory of a recent encounter. He turned to look at his room.
"Oh..well.."
The floor was littered with bodies. Dead and bloodied bodies of a dozen slaves. And some of his warriors. It seemed like they were trying to escape. Blood was everywhere. And a voice. A girl's voice. Crying in fear.
"Lilith is that you?"
The girl was on the corner , smeared in blood ,clutching to her knees and trying to avoid eye contact.
"My..lord.. are you ok?"
"Get up and explain this nonsense ,girl! Who dares to slaughter my slaves! TELL ME!"
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"ANSWER ME!!"
"The....the scouts. They've reported their failure about the key. You've got angry and then....then I don't know. My eyes were not fast enough to track you I suppose. They were all dead in seconds. Please lord, spare me. I wish only to serve. Please."
"SILENCE MINION!"
This was not a good sign. His sanity and soul was demanding the key to be found it seemed. Desparation was not something he felt for a long time. This has to end.
"Lilith, activate the Mirror of Correspondence. I will try to communicate Hauclir again."
"Of course, liege. Though our last attempts was all fruitless , I am sure this time we will have some answers."
The Mirror was a 2 meters tall eliptical glass with a wraithbone frame. Gargolmar was standing right in front of it , but there was no reflection on the glass. With a command word from Gargolmar, Lilith's collar was unlocked. Runes carved on the Mirror started to shimmer and glass tingled with the release of psychic energy.
"Activate it."
By your command, lord."
Lilith put her hand on the glass and started to chant. As she chanted the glass started to fluctuate more. After a moment, the silhouette of a slender figure began to form.
"Hauclir, you worm! At last you answer me.."
Fluctuation has stopped and revealed the form a person that Gargolmar has never seen before. It was like that he was a cloud of dark miasma in the shape of an Eldar warrior and in the place of his face there was crimson mask.
"What?! Lilith who.."
"Send a heartbeat to The Void that cries through you. Relive the pictures that have come to pass. For now we stand alone. The world is lost and blown and we are flesh and blood. With no more to hate, is it bright where you are and have the people changed? Does it make you happy you're so strange? And in your darkest hour I hold secrets of the storm. We can watch the world devoured in its pain."
The figure dissappeared as fast as it appeared and left Lilith squirming at the floor. Gargolmar was looking upon Quenephe, especially on the point where a storm was gathering.
"Well, then. I'm going to take that as a sign. Alert everybody for the assault."
"Gargolmar, when the communication has occured, I...I have touched the mind of that person." Lilith was trying to get up while trying to stop her body shaking.
"Well, well , the moment I removed your collar you showed some backbone to call me by my name eh, witch. Well then tell me, have you found anything useful when you touched his mind?"
"Yes, Lord. I have found his name."
"And what is that?"
"Adad."
"Oh..well.."
The floor was littered with bodies. Dead and bloodied bodies of a dozen slaves. And some of his warriors. It seemed like they were trying to escape. Blood was everywhere. And a voice. A girl's voice. Crying in fear.
"Lilith is that you?"
The girl was on the corner , smeared in blood ,clutching to her knees and trying to avoid eye contact.

This galaxy is ours, monkeigh!
" Because , young Seer, they dont deserve to live. They are pathetic slaves and nothing more. Worship of the Dark Gods are... moronic. You dedicate all your life, before and after your death, to their whim. Your soul is theirs to command. But if only, you are foolish enough to let them. That is why I slay them without any second thoughts, or plans for alliance. Because, unlike the lesser races of this universe, we do not bow to any force, we do not serve, we do not give! We are masters, lords, we demand and we take!"
"I see, Lord. I see now that their logic is pernicious as you stated."
"Have you contacted, Hauclir? I wish to know if he is successful or not."
"No, Lord. He has not responded, yet."
"Let me know if he does immediatly. Incompetence is not a luxury anyone on this ship have."
"Of course , Lord. Do you think you are closer to your goal here , on this ancient land of our kin ?"
"Yes....yes I do. The location of the key have been revealed. Enemy forces on this planet are bloody and battered. Mostly the ones that dared to face me. I will not let anything or anyone to stop me from reaching my destiny. This galaxy will remember its old masters."
"I understand. Excuse me , my Lord , but I have to ask. You do not sound much like yourself today. Even without my aetheric talents, I can sense it. Is there... is there something wrong, Lord Gargolmar?"
"Hah. The Gargolmar you know is resting now. After a couple of hours rest, he will be back with you, I presume."
"Then,then, who are you?! What have you done with him?! I demand you to speak. I will not let you or anyone hurt him, do you understand, daemon!"
"Insolent whelp! You do not make demands of me. But I will answer your questions so that you understand your lord and serve better. My name is not important but learn this, that your lord is blessed with an ancient soul of the archaic past. I am his desires, his passions, and his ambition. And he is the rage, the fury, the death of his enemies. Together, we will bring the hope of the Eldar race back to the heart of its people. Together, we will make the Dark Gods remember , that when they were in the peak of their power, they could not made us kneel, even when faced with unspeakable horrors and carnage, we stood tall, cried to the heavens and hell that we will not serve a creature that we have created. We have ruled this galaxy for countless millenia, so we refuse to die in denial and exile. This is the object of our union with Gargolmar. And the Crescent Moon on our forehead is the brand of the pact. The white light of the moon started to show her face , and it will become a Full Moon, as the Eldar race started to ascend once more!"
"I see, Lord. I see now that their logic is pernicious as you stated."

Gargolmar the Bug-Exterminator
"Haaha! Then I was like whoooosh die you 10 feet long bug scumbag. Their leader died there while screaming at me. Stupid asshole. And I think he said he is some sort of a prince. Prince Dying While Turning to Dust, thats who! After him, I sliced up his remaining buddies, while shouting "YOU MESS WITH THE BEST, YOU DIE LIKE THE REST!"
"Just when I stood at the top of a hill made by the fallen bodies of my enemies, I saw them. A horde of wailing, screaming monsters running towards me. Well, then I pointed my sword at them, looked each and every one of them in the eye and said "Now, fuck off!" They stopped on their tracks, turned back and started to flee like the cowards they are. Then I was at them like a lighting, hacking and slashing and butchering, they cried in fear, one of them even begged me for mercy. But not from me. I was there like an avenging angel, taking ten of their numbers for every Poisoned Fang fellow they've slain. When my slaughter came to an end , I stood there and gazed upon the battlefield. There were none of the filthy bugs around. At least alive."
" But then a lonely figure lurked out of the darkened woods. He started to run towards me with terrible speed. He was fast, but not fast enough. Before he could gnash at me with his filthy claws, I chopped his ugly head off. This time, no one challenged my glory. As I stood in the middle of the carnage, all I could hear was the cheers of my crew."
" Well thats about the whole story my friend."
" I would be honored if I was one of the anointed few who had the blessing to be at your side in these moment of glorious carnage, my Lord. I stand corrected with my false worries about the Tyranid fleet. I see they are no match for your hunger for battle, and finesse with tactics and weapons alike."
" Well , Sima Yi, you dont need to feel bad. Next time when I'm on the ground, you have my word that you will be at my side."
" You honor me with your confidence, my Lord. Pardon me for my curiousity, but the only ones that is missing , are the members of the Wych Cult. And Kabalites look like they dont even fought. Also the combat vehicles they have used. I know the Wych Cult can be reckless at times but like this?"
" Well, my friend, at the party last weekend, when they were fighting, they broke my grandfather's clock. It has sentimental value for me. They should be more careful in the future."
" But, Lord. You dont have a clock , not at least a grandfather.."
" SILENCE MINION!"

Welcome to the Choco Party!
Dressed in a black leather dress, Lilith the Seer, or as known by her fans among the fleet ,"Static Revenger" was singing atop a golden pillar that is carved in the shape of a dolphin. The dolphin, also known among the crew as Eddie, was holding a bolt pistol in one of its fins, and its face was a mask of revenge.
The entire crew was attending the party, as this rises the question that who is operating the moving ship at this moment, the crew did not seem to care. There were drinks and food and drugs being served everywhere by slaves dressed in nothing but shame. Somewhere in the corner, Dr. Mindbender was explaining the magnificence of the muscle structure of some creature they captured on the way, and the listeners were trying to hold what they ate so far. Sima Yi, and his brethren were sitting in a corner and silently sipping their drinks. Two members of the Wych Cult were trying to kill eachother with forks and broken glasses, and the Kabalites were watching with delight , while they shout at them, and waving their money. And the Scourges, the so-called Eyes of the Nihilator, were playing at security again, but nobody seemed to care.
As they enjoy the festivities, everybody was actually waiting their host and master, Gargolmar the Nihilator. As her song coming to an end, Lilith, took the attention of the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" "This sexual discrimination! Why the ladies first?!" "Shut the fuck up, Elbetthe, you scum-sucking asshole!" "Let the girl speak."..... " Thank you, Master Sima Yi. Again, Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you, The Dark One, Fatherless Warrior, Violator of Virgins, Cholocate Thunder, Gargolmar the Nihilator!" As Gargolmar raised on top of a platform at the center of the hall, soaked in chocolate, dressed in a robe de chambre and nothing else, the crew was screaming cheers and warcries.
"My fellow crew members, comrades, friends, MINIONS! Tonight we are gathered here for a celebration. A celebration of victory and bloodshed. As you are aware of, the monkeigh mariners tried to stop our scouting mission. "It was a pleasure tour , not a scouting mission." SILENCE MINION! Nonetheless they have intercepted it , but they did not calculated, that me, Gargolmar the Nihilator, will be with a scouting party , and their attack has turned into a massacre. In favor for us of course. I can tell with discretion, that some of their virgins has been violated, too. Anyway! ARE WE ENJOYING THE PARTY?!!"
The crew was howling with pleasure , as it started to rain cholocate from the ceilings , and Lilith started to sing again. They were dancing, drinking, fighting and fornicating all at once, and Gargolmar, as he watched the scene, some of his scars started to fade, he was already started to seem younger.

Qu'enephé will run red with blood!
"Divert all power to Sonar Awakening Device!"
"Yes, Captain Gargolmar!"
"Hey, do we have something like that on the ship? I have not detected any sonar technology and to awake what exactly?"
"Ah my naive friend Elbetthe." said Dr. Mindbender with a smug smile on his cableridden face. "First thing you have to learn on this ship, is how to deal with our illustrious Lord. If he orders you to do something you do it without questioning. But for some reason you are not able to accomplish the order, for example that being an imaginary ship compartment, you improvise."
"So , what should I do, now?"
"Just open and close the lights in his command room. He will get bored soon enough , forget his previous order."
"My lord , there seems to be problem with the lights. Should I check.."
"No! No need. It must be the crew activating the Sonar Awakening Device. It will soon be over, Lilith. Now tell me of this, Qu'enephé. It sounds.... delicious."
"I really dont have an expert view on the subject my Lord, but I can tell that this is ancient construction of our kin. Back in the early days of the Empire."
"AH THE GLORIOUS AND MIGHTY ELDAR EMPIRE! Do you remember how we have ruled the stars as our own, child?! But what we have done with all that power we have?! What?!"
"I had not the privilege to live in the days of the Empire, my Lord. What have you done with that your power?"
"You should not ask suck kinky questions, girl. So enough of the sublime adventures of the Eldar nobility back in the day. What does this planet system means?"
"I think it is a crude form of warp travel accelerator. Planets seems to be very similar and they are creating a turbulance."
"Ok I will stick to my webway if I have to travel the galaxy. Now get out and write some more songs for me".
Right after Lilith's departure, Master Sima Yi entered the chamber.
"I am here as an answer to your call, My Lord. What it is that you wish of me?"
"I assume that you have already prepared a report for me about the enemies I may encounter on the surface? Am I right?"
"Your insight precedes mine, as always. At first sight, we can classify our enemies in three different categories. First group is the Monkeigh Mmerri'Sou, as known in their own language as the Space Marines. They can be categorized further, by their allegiances also. A group calling themselves Dark Templars , serves the Terran Emperor. Another one with another weird name, the Dead Guard, serves the Enemy, so we should be vindictive specifically towards them. Third group which I admire the most, the so-called Angels of Salvation, does not seem to serve anyone , but their own ends. Our second group is also a Monkeigh brood but these ones are weaker in physical structure but not necessarily in mind. They also , serve the Enemy. Also they are being led by a witch. The last but not least, is the most dangerous group. A tyranid splinter fleet without numbers. I advice that we should avoid them as possible.
"HAH! Good speech my old chum. I have a here, the remnants of the Poisoned Fang Kabal, and they will be most eager to engage the foe for some sweet revenge. Also, if we can cull their numbers early, this planet will not be overwhelmed before I finish my business. We should strike fast in to their hearts and pluck it out. I dont want skirmishes. I want a frontal attack. We will kill what we need to kill , and be back here as soon as possible."
" But my Lord, If you go that deep inside, are you sure can you pullout in time?"
"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"
"Yes, Captain Gargolmar!"
"Hey, do we have something like that on the ship? I have not detected any sonar technology and to awake what exactly?"
"Ah my naive friend Elbetthe." said Dr. Mindbender with a smug smile on his cableridden face. "First thing you have to learn on this ship, is how to deal with our illustrious Lord. If he orders you to do something you do it without questioning. But for some reason you are not able to accomplish the order, for example that being an imaginary ship compartment, you improvise."
"So , what should I do, now?"
"Just open and close the lights in his command room. He will get bored soon enough , forget his previous order."
"My lord , there seems to be problem with the lights. Should I check.."
"No! No need. It must be the crew activating the Sonar Awakening Device. It will soon be over, Lilith. Now tell me of this, Qu'enephé. It sounds.... delicious."
"I really dont have an expert view on the subject my Lord, but I can tell that this is ancient construction of our kin. Back in the early days of the Empire."
"AH THE GLORIOUS AND MIGHTY ELDAR EMPIRE! Do you remember how we have ruled the stars as our own, child?! But what we have done with all that power we have?! What?!"
"I had not the privilege to live in the days of the Empire, my Lord. What have you done with that your power?"
"You should not ask suck kinky questions, girl. So enough of the sublime adventures of the Eldar nobility back in the day. What does this planet system means?"
"I think it is a crude form of warp travel accelerator. Planets seems to be very similar and they are creating a turbulance."
"Ok I will stick to my webway if I have to travel the galaxy. Now get out and write some more songs for me".
Right after Lilith's departure, Master Sima Yi entered the chamber.
"I am here as an answer to your call, My Lord. What it is that you wish of me?"
"I assume that you have already prepared a report for me about the enemies I may encounter on the surface? Am I right?"
"Your insight precedes mine, as always. At first sight, we can classify our enemies in three different categories. First group is the Monkeigh Mmerri'Sou, as known in their own language as the Space Marines. They can be categorized further, by their allegiances also. A group calling themselves Dark Templars , serves the Terran Emperor. Another one with another weird name, the Dead Guard, serves the Enemy, so we should be vindictive specifically towards them. Third group which I admire the most, the so-called Angels of Salvation, does not seem to serve anyone , but their own ends. Our second group is also a Monkeigh brood but these ones are weaker in physical structure but not necessarily in mind. They also , serve the Enemy. Also they are being led by a witch. The last but not least, is the most dangerous group. A tyranid splinter fleet without numbers. I advice that we should avoid them as possible.
"HAH! Good speech my old chum. I have a here, the remnants of the Poisoned Fang Kabal, and they will be most eager to engage the foe for some sweet revenge. Also, if we can cull their numbers early, this planet will not be overwhelmed before I finish my business. We should strike fast in to their hearts and pluck it out. I dont want skirmishes. I want a frontal attack. We will kill what we need to kill , and be back here as soon as possible."
" But my Lord, If you go that deep inside, are you sure can you pullout in time?"
"THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!"

Lilith the Seer
Gargolmar was in his room, staring out of his dome to the void between the stars. He was murmuring a song to himself "....then you are pushed and shoved into every corner, then they lead you out to the final slaughter.." then he realised someone was behind him.
"Who is that stalks me in my own domain, this I wonder?" he said without turning.
"Ohh, I..I'm terribly sorry. I didnt mean to stalk or anything, really." said a young female voice. From the stutter of her voice, it was obvious she was afraid.
"What do you want from me, girl ? I dont have time for your nonsense really."
"Ahh, Lord, Hauclir sent me here , for ahh, to report to you I believe."
"Oh you are that Seer brat then eh? I seet that they have collared you properly." he said still without turning.
"Well, yes they did. But no problem there really. I would hate myself If I do something to anger you really. But may I ask how did you saw my collar without looking at me? Are you also.."
"A WHAT? A Seer? An Oracle? Or a Mystic Pilgrim touched by the divine? No little girl. I saw your reflection on the glass.You Seers can see the future but not the tip of your nose. So tell me, what use you will have to me, hmm? With your connection to the warp severed, do you really have any use to me?" Now Gargolmar turned to face the girl, and her fear doubled to see the face of the scarred pirate and she started to shake visibly.
"I will be the connection between you and Hauclir, my lord! With this talisman, you will be able to talk with him anytime you want! Please oh please dont hurt me!Please!"
"Damn girl. Calm down. Show me that talisman and how is that work."
"Of course, Lord. This here is a Mirror of Correspondence. It was made by my master Farseer Nereid, for easy connection between her , the Captain and the 2nd Captain. It can only be used by a Seer, and people attuned to it. Hauclir is attuned to it so he can use it, but for you to interact it, you will need e Seer and I will be that Seer, with your permission of course."
"Ok then. That's a start for you. But gal, this isnt a Isha-damned Craftworld. We all carry our own weights here. Do you have any other useful skill other than your Seer tricks?"
"Well, I can....I...ahhh.."
"Spit it out, what?!"
"I can sing."
"Hahahaha. Really now? A singer eh? Ok, little one. You will be my singer from now on. I like to have some live music in here. I will call you if I want some singing going, you understand?"
Oh, ok. I will be at your service, My Lord."
"Well, ok then. But tell me. That 2nd Captain you told me about . Will he be able to connect if he wishes. I dont want to meet a total stranger on my Mirror."
"My Lord, Hauclir is the 2nd Captain actually."
"What? Who is the damned Captain, then?!"
"Elder brother of my master Nereid. Kinleader Zaknafein."
"You will inform me immediatly, if he tries to connect, you understand me? If I see you talking with that guy in secret, life will be very hard for you here!"
"No,no, of course not, no! I will serve you loyally, I will ...I.." and she broke into crying hystericly.
"WHAT? Why are you crying now? Get up and tell me, worm!"
"I'm afraid that you are going to do me something horrible, please dont!"
"What something?!"
"You know, you are a pirate, and a man, and I'm a woman.."
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU CRAFTWORLDERS?! You are just a little girl you sick minded crazy fool! Get the fuck out of my room! Damn, I dont know what they do teach these kids in those decadent craftworlds.
"Who is that stalks me in my own domain, this I wonder?" he said without turning.

Xeber Cett Campaign için Background
Kabal of the Twin-Snakes of Doom, ismini liderleri olan Gargolmar the Nihilator’ın şahsi insigniasından , Gargolmar, Dracon olarak görev yaptığı sırada o zamanki kendi efendisi Archon Velendris’i öldürüp filosuna el koyduğunda almıştır. Aslında bir Trueborn olmayan Gargolmar’ın Archon mevkiine yükselmesine karşı olan sesleri bastırmak için, Gargolmar Velendris’in Commoragh üzerindeki bütün topraklarını Asdrubael Vect’e devretmiş, Vect de bu sesleri bastırmayı başarmıştır.
Bu noktadan sonra elinde bir filo olan Gargolmar, Commoragh’a dönmeyecek, böylece hem orada kendisini bekleyen düşmanlarından uzak olacak, hem de ödemesi gereken bütün vergilerden kaçacaktır. Korsanlık konusundaki tecrübesi ve ikiz kardeşi Sadobael’in tavsiyeleriyle, kendi yağında kavrulmayı başaran bir filoya sahip olacaktır.
Hayatını tamamiyle değiştiren olay, geceleri gördüğü ve anlam veremediği kabuslarla başladı.Rüyalarının uyku dışına taşmaya başladığı anlarda, kaderi onu bir yıldızharitası aracılığıyla çağırdı.Daha önce gitmemesine rağmen yerini ve hazinelerini bildiği ölü bir yıldıza filosunu sürdü. Bu lanetli taş parçasının üzerinde tayfası ile birlikte aklını yitirmek üzereyken, aradığı yeri buldu. Bu harabeler, Eldar İmparatorluğu’nun son zamanlarının ünlü Autarch’ı Hammanas Archedoleth’in ruh taşını saklıyordu. En son gemisiyle Commoragh’a gittiği bilinen Hammanas’ın bir ruh taşına nasıl girdiği ise bir muammaydı. Bu taşın sakladığı ruhu yemeye karar veren Gargolmar, rüyalarında gördüğü sahneyi gerçekleştirdi ve kızıl bir sisi yuttu. Taşın ev sahibinin isteğini tam olarak yerine getiren Gargolmar, deliliğe giden yolda adımlarını çok hızlı atmaya başladı.
Yeni hali Gargolmar’ı ne kadar kontrolsüz bir manyağa çevirmiş olsa da, bu efektifliğini azaltmadı. Taştan aldığı güç ona yol gösteren bir öğe haline geldiğinden, savaş alanında kendisini kaybetse de, savaş öncesi planları genellikle başarılı çalışmaktaydı.
Ve bir noktada, Gargolmar’ın aklına mal olan planın taşları yerine oturmaya başladı. Dinlendiği odasına bir çeşit Warp yolu ile gelen iki kişiden biri olan bir Astartes’i , diğer kişinin yardımıyla öldürdü. Bu diğer yabancı ise, sadece Gargolmar için yabancıydı. Zira artık zihninde yer etmiş olan Hammanas, karşısında duran Eldar’ı olmasa da, onu aynı kendisinin yaptığı gibi ele geçirmiş olan üç eski dostunu tanımıştı. Bu mavi zırhlı Eldar ise kendisini Hauclir olarak tanıtmıştı. Hauclir the Kinslayer.
Gargolmar ve Hauclir, zihinlerine çöreklenmiş olan bu Eldar’ların planlarını anlamışlardı. Talisman of Vaul’lardan bir tanesinin yerini biliyorlardı ve onu çalıştırıcak olan anahtarların yerlerini de. Gargolmar ve Hauclir’e ise, anahtarları toplamak düşüyordu. Gargolmar’ın filosu anahtarların üçüne de uzaktaydı. Bu sebepten yolculuk biraz uzun sürse de, kaybettikleri zamanı telafi eden olaylar olacaktı. Yolculuk sırasında Hauclir, kendi korsanlarına ulaşmayı başardı. Son savaşlarından geriye kalmış olan grup, Hauclir’in müttefiklerinden rahatsız değildi. Bu yüzden buluştuklarında, korsanlığı kendilerine meslek edinmiş bu tayfa ile kaynaşmaları uzun sürmedi. Gargolmar ayrıca, Kabal of the Poisoned Fang’den geriye kalan bir kısım gemiyle karşılaşmış ve onları da ,isteyerek veya istemeyerek filosuna katılmaya ikna etmeyi başarmıştı. Birinci anahtarın olduğu gezegene yakınlaşmak üzereyken, Hauclir eski tayfasını, Poison Fang’den alınan filoya yükleyip, ikinci anahtarı bulmaya gittiğini açıkladı. Elinde ise bir cihaz vardı. Görünürde gösterişli bir ayna olan cihaz, Hauclir’e, Seer yoluna yeni başlamış olan Lilith tarafından getirilmişti. Daha önce de efendisi Farseer Nereid’e ait olduğunu söyleyen kız, Hauclir’den okkalı bir tokadı da yemeyi ihmal etmedi. Hauclir, aynayı ve Lilith’i , Gargolmar’ın yanında bırakacaktı. Bu şekilde Seer kız Hauclir ile Gargolmar arasında bağlantı kuracak ve böylece zihinlerindeki Eldar’larda planlarına birlikte devam edebileceklerdi.
Bu noktadan sonra elinde bir filo olan Gargolmar, Commoragh’a dönmeyecek, böylece hem orada kendisini bekleyen düşmanlarından uzak olacak, hem de ödemesi gereken bütün vergilerden kaçacaktır.

Master Sima Yi, Incubi Master
"It seems my Lord Gargolmar wishes to see his most loyal servant. How may I help my Lord to achieve his goals today?" Gargolmar was standing in his quarters with Sima Yi, leader of the Incubi Cult under his command, and also his Chief Advisor. Gargolmar was wearing a black robe of the finest silk, and Sima Yi, a battered and old yellow robe.
"Well, Sima Yi, I am planning to attack this monkeigh city called Ephrebe, and I would like to take your council on the situation first."
"If my Lord wishes to strengthen the defences of this Ephrebe, and enhance the moral of his people, he should attack immediately. But if he wishes to capture its riches, and enslave its population, he should not attack at all."
"What? Explain your logic!"
"As you wish. The people of Ephrebe, is divided. They are in a conflict that tears them apart. I believe it is about their religious beliefs. If you attack now, they will find a common enemy in you, and will stand together and thus they will be strengthened."
"So what? Do I have to wait until they rip each other's throats out?"
"Of course not. We should attack the city of Al-Khalum."
"That city is a Isha-damned fortress! Do you have any suggestions on that?!"
"If my Lord lets me explain further. The city of Al-Khalum is both a friend and an enemy to the city of Ephrebe. They support a side on their religious division. And they accuse the other side with consorting Xenos as they call it. We should use their suspicions as our weapon against them before our dark lances. If we plant one of our Raider transport secretly to a location near the eastern side of the city, and make it leave there in an exact moment, our victory can not be denied."
"And that exact moment is?"
"The arrival of Al-Khalumian ambassador.When they see our spacecraft leaving the city in a hurry, they will think they catched their opponent with their crime. But as we do not wish to wait for them to act, we will raid a supply outpost of Al-Khalumian origin. They think the position of this particular outpost is only known by them, and their ally city of Ephrebe. So when we attack, they will think the Ephrebians sold them out for a Xeno alliance. And thus we will see the flames of war burning very soon."
"Ok I like the way this plan goes. But, the siege can take months. And we have to act fast."
"We will act fast. When the monkeigh are fighting eachother on the walls of Ephrebe, we will raid Al-Khalum, and thus will gain a plunder greater than Ephrebe can provide, and also cutting the supply for the sieging army. And we will make that known to Ephrebians. So when the sieging army starts to retreat, they will follow with vengeance in their eyes, and then we will raid the city of Ephrebe."
"Damn. Dont you think sometimes it is easier to just act fast and attack, instead of doing some crafty plans and waiting for this and that?"
"No."
"Well, Sima Yi, I am planning to attack this monkeigh city called Ephrebe, and I would like to take your council on the situation first."
