The Anathema Becomes Known
(General POV)
Location the Blood Lands-the Brass Citadel/The Skull Thrones of Khorne
Currently the Blood God was comforting his beloved wife, Valkia she was resting on his chest as they sat together on his throne.
Khorne was holding her tightly as he comfort her, legions of his daemons immediately came and gathered to the Brass Citadel, in response to their dark lady's distress and the Blood God rage.
They saw as their lady was on Khorne's lap, with her holding onto her husband tightly with her eyes closed but dripping blood, like tears of pain.
None even the elder daemons, Skarbrand and Zsash dared to look at the Blood God who was seriously enraged and concerned for his wife.
It was clear their queen was in pain, but by some fortune it wasn't fatal but it didn't matter to Khorne for once he turned his gaze away from his wounded beloved he demanded, "ASWER ME!!!? HAVE ANY OF YOU, UNCOVERED WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INVADING THE WARP, AND WORSE HARM MY QUEEN!!!!!!?
None dared answer, except for the elder daemons kneeling in front of him they told the Lord of Skulls, that they've not found the culprit for not only was the disturbance originally from the Nethervoid, but from what they've learn the Dark Ladies of Carnage, we're also affected by the disturbance, which clears all involvement for the Dark One for he would never risked his wives, for anything.
Begrudgingly Khorne agrees and already knows his brothers weren't responsible for this sacrilege...Laharl has his faults but he would never attack in such a manner, and less aim at his wife, especially with his own at risk...and Nurgle while young, he has shown quite a lot of care for his servents and realm, whatever that light that shined across the Warp it was not toxic...but warm...
Khorne turned his gaze back to Valkia, knowing her eyes were literally burned and it will take time and souls for her to heal.
He caressed her face, as she twitched and hissed from the pain, despite him not touching the area around her eyes it was clear her nerves were hypersensitive.
Her pain and discomfort brought out more rage in Khorne, as he spoke again, "That is all Skarbrand, and Zsash your excused..." upon saying this to them, they nodded their heads and obeyed their dark master's wish.
The two Elder Daemons, spread their wings and flew away leaving the rest of the khornate daemons, to face their Dark God alone...
Location the Nethervoid-Castle Neo Oblivion/The Bedroom
Similar to Khorne, Laharl was with his seven wives in bed comforting them as they just awoken and suffered the damn Anathema's light that has hurt and wounded them.
Using his wings to hold them all close, as succubi handmaidens were scampering and rushing all over the burgundy bedroom, to help and ease their dark ladies pain, all of them had their eyes closed as they were bleeding from said eyes...and temporarily blinded just like Valkia.
Laharl apologized to them for allowing them to be harmed, they reassured him it wasn't his fault as they held tightly to him, while he was relieved that their wounds weren't serious...it didn't calm the Dark One's anger, and even from his castle, he could sensed that Khorne was going through the exact same thing, and emotion as he is...if probably lesser than him, as he is the God of Love, so his anger probably eclipsed the Chaos God of Wrath at the moment, if it wasn't for him keeping control of his power in fear to worsen or further harm his beloved wives than the entire Nethervoid would suffering the worst earthquake in its existence...
It was clear to the succubi present that their Dark God was very, very angry and was contained his wrath while the dark mistresses were being tended to.
Laharl then order a handmaiden, "You...bring me all the Void Wraiths you, can muster. I need them to use their sorcery to tend to my wives, eyes...immediately." Laharl's tone was clear, full of rage and animosity.
Bowing to him, the assigned succubus rushed out the bed chamber to do as she was commanded to.
With Cassandra resting on his left, he gently caressed and held her in clawed-power gauntlets grasp without agitating her wounds, and to his right were Ruu and Chi in between his arm, their discomfort and obvious signs of pain, only serve to enrage and concern the Dark One as the so not want to be worshiped, demigod, Anathema has won his utter hatred and ire more than any being has yet in this world, since being reincarnated...
As they snuggled in closer it was clear that the Anathema of Mankind, has made two mortal enemies earlier than supposed to...
Location the Feudalworld Earth-Eras before the Dawn of the Renaissance Age/Chinese Territories
A giant of a man without name, between 3.5 and 4m tall, full of great muscle and handsome manly physique and beauty.
Some time, ago he was in the lands of Bosporus, or what will become Europe he headed further east to the territory of Sichuanese Pinyin.
After he returned from his journey through the Warp and started learning about Chaos and the vile entities that govern it, he experienced his first ever encounter with true pain...and possibly intimidating since his centuries of life.
As he passed a grove of bamboo, he felt a powerful presence directing all it murderous intent, aggression, and anger towards him.
His body tremble the first time in centuries, as he tightened his fists and used his own psyker power on himself to calm him emotions and anxieties, after doing so he could only guess that this presence wasn't human...or emenating from this plain of existence, recalling the memories he absorbed from that laharlish daemon, he remembered that the Dark One, Laharl is not only the God of Carnage but Love as well, which meant he must done something to his vile wives to incur his wrath.
At his level of power, he would not dare challenge one of those Warp tumors let alone the first among them, their meer existence stands against humanity's well being, and progress.
He will stop them not today, but in the future once he awaken all his power, and has secure humanity's homeworld from their vile grasp, he chose to challenge back the Dark One by flaring his psychic might become a white flare of light that push back the Dark.
When the future Emperor did this many lesser daemons of all three Chaos Gods were obliterated by his power...
Nurgle sensing this used his powers to shield his Garden and children from the burning light, as did Khorne and Laharl using their own powers to protect their respected wive/wives but also their domain, truth be told Laharl unintentionally was directing his killer intent toward the Anathema, and by meer subcutance his enemy revealed himself to Nurgle and Khorne, making the Dark One's future summons and explanation much easier.
(Nurgle/Plague God POV)
Location the Plague Garden-The Blighted Mansion/The Restoration Pools
Panting from breath, as I forced myself through the pain to protect my beautiful realm from this vile light!!!
I started to to weeze, and cough from the strain as I spit out black blood and maggots into the yellow green, bubbling waters of the pool, I have restored myself a bit only to have to suffer pushing back whatever has dare attack my home!!!
My exposed skull was finally gaining some rotted tissue and muscle after so long, and also the bones of my arms were starting to sprout out, now instead of cut...and torn bones they appeared...broken and more...fresher...
That stunt I just pulled will push back my healing for a bit, but it was worth it if my beloved Garden survives and thrives.
Groaning, I then sensed a calling once again from Laharl.
Seems obvious I wasn't the only one that suffered from whatever has been responsible for that previous disturbance, and this attack...regardless of my status, I could easily sense but my older siblings anger, seems that whatever has happened to me was nothing compared to the...
Sighing, I needed to know what is happening and what has happened to Immaterium after that attack, so I'll answer Laharl call, as I rest my body, and focus my conscience to the neutral space.
Before Nurgle was summoned...
(Khorne/Blood God POV)
Location the Blood Lands-the Brass Citadel/The Skull Thrones of Khorne
I was furious that none of my servents could identify who has been responsible for harming my wife, let alone who has just attacked us!!!!?
I had to use my powers, carefully as to not harm my dear Valkia as protected her and my realm from whatever source of power, and light that came from the Materium!!!
Currently I still held my wife, closely and tightly as her wings wrapped around us...this the first time I've seen her so vulnerable, and hurt...all it does is fill me...With...RAGE ON WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE, FOR HER SUFFERING!!!!!
Right now Valkia's daughters, the blood valkyries were trying to tend to her, when I got a psychic message from Laharl, he said to me, "Brother!!! Is Valkia alright!!?" I was strangely moved by my brother's concern for my dearest wife, looking at her I answered back, "Yes, brother...she's...fine... BUT WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SHALL FEEL MY UNBRIDLED WRATH!!!!" calming myself for a moment I ask in return, "And...? Who are your wives, brother?"
I heard my brother answer back to me, "Their...fine. Blinded by him..." when I heard my brother say, "him" I immediately knew that he knows who is responsible for all of this!!!!
Before I could demand an answer I heard Laharl speak to me again, saying things of great importance, "I know what you want, Khorne I do to. But our wives and realm must come first before vengeance...regrettably..." I kept quiet, as I looked down at my blinded, dearest wife...so helpless, this besmugging of her honor, pride, and beauty could not be left unanswer...and as well I can't risk putting her in harms ways until she is part ways cured...Laharl continued to telepathically speak to me, "Freght not brother. I'll tell you and Nurgle everything I know, but I need you permission to allow my void wraith daemons to enter your realm, and tend to sister.
They managed to alleviate some of my wives, pain and their resting now...I know you despise sorcery brother, but I want to help you and her if you allow me?"
I grumble since I had no other choice, despite my dark powers and those that serve me, none are capable of healing...so for just this one I'll trust vile sorcery...
Sending my brother permission, he told me they arrive shortly and he can have his most trusted watch them and Valkia, cause he need me to attend a meeting in the Neutral Space, as he'll also will tell and warn a brother of a threat, I was reluctant to go and leave Valkia, with damn sorcerers!!!
But the I felt Valkia reached out to my face, asking me "what has me, so unsettled?" I grabbed her hand, and told her everything.
Like me she despised having Magic done to her, but if it help him to have some peace of mind she'll allow it, she also told me to attend Laharl's summons they needed to know of all possible threats that may come.
Staring at her beautiful face, I opened the mouth piece of my helmet and kiss her fire made head, telling her that everything will be fine and that I'll return quickly, as I adjusted us in a way she wouldn't be harmed, and will still be resting upon me.
I focus my conscience, to go to the Neutral Space, as my brother calls Nurgle to attend as well...
Before he summoned Khorne...
(Laharl/Carnage God POV)
Location the Nethervoid-Castle Neo Oblivion/The Bedroom
Still holding my wives, tightly and protectively after my subconscious anger and murderous intent soar across the Warp and onto the Materium, directly to the source of my anger...the damn future Emperor!!!!
This resulted in that damn, mortal bastard daring to challenge me, at this state of his power!?
If I didn't need him to do the deal with us that results in the creation of the 20 Primarchs, and create the Space Marine Legion, and the great inter-legionary wars to happened I would have killed him already...
But he is needed until he is bound to that throne as a forever rotting corpse, I'll will personally enjoy tormenting his essence in the Immaterium for countless millenia.
I look down my seven beloved wives, all holding back is to not openly weep in front of me, and fight back the pain that their all clearly on, and it only made more angrier.
As I waited for my void wraiths to come, a young pink unruly haired succubus came offering me, some Ambrossia probably to calm me down, accepting the gesture I chugged the entire mug of Ambrossia in one swing, I gave back the mug and thank the girl telling her to tell when my daemon sorcerers have arrived, she bowed to me as she left the chamber.
I really wish I could heal, but the only capable of treating them was also indisposed and pain, my poor dear Scalpel.
She too is suffering, she was snuggling to my side, her blood tears staining my coat...all of this because of a man that beliefs himself above nature, in truth I've always hated the Emperor in lore and personally believe he got what he deserved, a man so full of himself and detached from the very race he governs and tries to make prosper, only to literally reenact the ultimate betrayed of God and the Devil, only for the devil to actually have the last laugh, right alongside the Chaos Gods.
All his story of him, wanting unity, dominance, servitude, and abolish worship and religion only to create the most zealot, extremist, religion on human history with him as the God of Mankind, truest irony at its finest.
I'll admit I laughed a bit aside not only as a proud former Chaos player, but as an actual Chaos God as I remember all that the Emperor will suffer, and just like the empires he saw the rise and decodation of he'll be the arquitect of his own downfall, all because he thought himself above everyone including us...
This time I'm ranting consciously, to distract myself as I really want to destroy that damn bastard and his planet, but in doing so I stop so many things, and prevent Tzeentch's birth, and I rather have 40k Tzeentch over fantasy in all honesty.
That's when the same handmaiden came to inform me that hundred of void wraiths as well as abyssal wraiths were coming.
That was excellent knew, as I told her to bring them here as well as call in a few succubi to aid the Void Wraiths in anything they may need to help my beloveds...
Location the Nethervoid-Castle Neo Oblivion/The Throne Room
After a few moments my heralds were first to arrive and greet being accompanied by several void wraiths I gave them full liberty to perform anything as long as it helped my wives, bowing to me they went to work and I excused myself, since I could barely control myself, I told my beloveds to call for anything.
That's why I'm now in the throne room, resting myself next to the black balcony of the second level of the room, I immediately requested Ambrossia and lots of it, I need to distract my mind some way.
That's when Aillia tried to cheer me up, (My Lord, don't worry. The ladies are tough and will be fine. The Emperor's just overloaded their eyes, they'll heal up, good as new. So have faith, and patience they'll be alright. (;u;)) I sighed thanking Aillia for her support and reassurance, but it didn't mean I'll stop worrying.
Drinking away as time pass, I got eventually called back to my bed chamber by a void wraith, tossing aside my favorite chalice as it banished away as it usually does and I rush into the bedroom to see my loves.
Once I passed through the burgundy and violet drapes hanging from the entrance, I saw many void and abyssal wraiths floating around the room, and succubi tending to my wives all resting comfortably under the bed-covers, with bandages over all their eyes, they were asleep without any sign of uncomfortable.
A Abyssal Wraith, came to me as the horned, multi-limbed spectral like high daemon told me in a gaspy and ghost like voice, "My dark...master. We've treated the dark mistresses...the best we could. Using our magic to numb...some of their pain...and wrapped some rune escribed bandages on their...eyes to ease the pain further, as...well as hasten their healing. We've put them asleep so they...can rest and heal in...peace." I nodded and thanked them, as I gave them permission to leave.
Bowing to me, all the Void and Abyssal Wraiths floated out the room I instructed the handmaidens that their top priority for now is to attend to my wives, to make sure their comfortable and tended to,nodding to and swearing they do as I command I left the room again, and went back to the throne room.
I know I needed to contact Khorne and Nurgle, and tell them everything not only will this help me with Nurgle, but also make them more cautious around the Anathema.
So I started by psychically contacting Khorne...
Present Time...
(General POV)
Location the Warp, Neutral Space-Infinity Fountain Resting Place
As the Dark One was already waiting for his two brothers shadow made figures to arrive, all the Dark Harbinger could fell is anxiety to return to his wives' sides, but this meeting needed to happen now, especially with the greatest adversary of Chaos is starting nose in their business.
Not a moment sooner, the shadowed figures of Khorne and Nurgle manifested in the space, Laharl would usually greet them in a playful manner but things are serious now, he'll have to twist the truth and tell then everything about the Anathema aka the Emperor of Mankind, why they need to spare him and the Earth/Terra...for now...
He told them that for a while now his elder daemon...as he took a quick pause to explain to Nurgle what an elder daemon is and why they should ascend worthy daemons to this rank...as he continued to explain, that he had his first elder daemon, Ba'al Allseer scry and observe the web of time, for any possible anomalies and threats that can rise against Chaos.
Eventually his beholder daemon, found one such threat hiding amongst the mortal creatures known as humans, he was a sacrilege to nature and Chaos, a being that held soo much power and potential that he actually hurt Ba'al from watching in astral form.
Laharl mentioned he had the Anathema as he mentioned under constant surveillance, as he told Nurgle that regardless of them being born mostly by the collected psyche, worship, and deeds of humans that limiting most of our feeding and worship from them will come back to bite us.
Khorne confirmed and agreed telling him his strengthening for diversifying his worship, as the orkz have proven a great source of power and fuel for him, Nurgle was actually amazed and Laharl continued his explanation...this time he revealed the upcoming future to them.
To say Khorne and Nurgle were shocked is an understatement will Khorne already knew his brother is able to see the strands of the future, since he help him against the eldars when they were about to become a great menace to Chaos, but Nurgle he was shocked more.
Especially when the Dark One mentioned that their going to have more siblings and rivals for the total dominance over the Immaterium, and the next God to be born will be his most hated rival, that represents everything he stood/represents against.
Next was they needed to wait for mankind to leave Earth/Terra so they colonize and reproduce by the billions across the galaxy, meaning more souls and worship for them all.
While Khorne was angry and annoyed he couldn't avenge Valkia...yet, he saw the merits that his brother was proposing so he'll back off against this Anathema, but he'll target much of humanity as payback, Laharl understood and agreed wishing Valkia the best health and saying farewell to him as he faded away.
Next was Nurgle, he was grateful for all his brothers have revealed to him and promised he'll keep his daemons under control while his sisters-in-law are healing, thou he did say the word "healing" with distain, but still the Dark One appreciated Nurgle's oath as he also banished, with all that settled Laharl also faded away to stay close to his wives' sides, as he to started to fade away...
