Dark Precious Moments
(General POV)
Location the Warhammer Old World-Kislev, Within Enzium: The Top Tower, the Throne Chamber
It has been a week or less, since the Dark Legion has come out victorious over the Daughters of the Hag.
Currently Ixion was sitting upon their throne, as the Warp Gods they were in a great mood, for Tzeentch has won, killing both Mother Ostankya the Hag Mother, and Ulrika Magdova the Fallen Heroine, and just like he promised he made Ixion give Ulrika's head to Khorne's sweet Blood Witch, Skarlet, so she can offer that vampiress' head to his brother Khorne, while Nurgle's sweetie was given the body with Ixion/Nurgle himself in his state.
Both women offered those part of the dead Ulrika to their respected Dark God, receiving some attention and favor from Khorne and Nurgle, but aside from that Tzeentch and his brothers were focusing on spreading their influence and control over the entire South of Kislve, and raiding everyone that wasn't able to flee to the northern regions of the Motherland.
Thousands to hundred-thousands of Kislevite immigrants were making their way to the capital and further North, to escape the wrath of the Dark Legion.
This made the Changer very proud and smug of himself, for such a big victory, all his brothers shuke their heads letting their younger brother enjoy his moment of victory.
Apart from that the avatar has fully recovered from all the damage it suffered from it duel against Ulrika and Mother Ostankya together, and it was clearly stronger than before Tzeentch himself commanded Aillia, to show them the improvements that his state of Ixion has gone through after the battle.
Aillia acting submissive and monotone, as her true Lord, has instructed her to act when called by any of Laharl's brothers, said in a calm and respectful manner to the Warp Gods, (Of course, Lord Architect. Your stats as requested.) and floating in front of all the Warp Gods, was a transparent blue screen, as they start to inspect it.

Tzeentch's state gotten a great boost, but mostly focused his magical stats, plus the Dark One and his brothers noticed that tzeentchian state of Ixion Daemonhart, has finally obtained a title for his own, the (Arcane Monarch of the North), fitting for him.
All the while the Changer of Ways, was very pleased with stats in on the screen, clearly he was the most magical powerful of all the avatar states of Ixion Daemonhart, as it should be.
Tzeentch's pride is greatly being inflated not only by his victory and expansion of their control over the Motherland...then to the Dark One, Rot Lord, and Blood God's dismay, their brother, started to brag out loud...all three of the older Warp Gods, began to groan and wait for the Changer to stop soo they can progress things along.
But again once again to their dismay, Tzeentch kept on bragging and hipping himself, that Laharl has had enough, yelling out at the Changer, "SHUT YOU'RE WARP DAMNED MOUTHS UP TZEENTCH!!!! HOLY CHAOS, YOU GIVE ME A HEADACHE SOMETIMES!!!" Khorne and Nurgle fully agreed with the Dark Harbinger's statement.
Tzeentch chuckled a bit and excused himself to his brothers, which quite honestly ticked them off a bit more, since they know that he wasn't sincere about his "apology", but they letting slide...this time...cause it's just how Tzeentch is...
Getting back on track, they decided to check the status on their conquest and the growth of the Dark Legion, with the influx of Norscan tribes journeying south to join them.
Once again Aillia provided what they requested, as the Army Status screen appeared before the Warp Gods now.

Their army has drastically grown in number, their daemonic servents havent suffered loses, and those loses with the mortal side was quickly replenished by the influx of northmen coming to Kislev to serve them.
As more and more Chaos worshipping Northmen coming down to Kislve to join them, or if they stand against them their stuck in the remaining the lands that aren't in the Warp Gods thrall.
All and all the conquest of Kislev is going smoothly, and soon they'll face Tzarina, Kostaltyn, and most likely Boris in battle, and once they fall Kislve was fully fall into the grasp of the Warp Gods, or more specifically Tzeentch.
And as all this havoc occurs on the Motherland, and great battle in the lands further south was also happening...
Location the Territory of the Empire/Ostermark, somewhere in the Great Forest: Battlefield; Imperials vs Chaos Undivided/Warhost of the Apocalypse
The Empire of Man, was in chaos and besieged by the 13th Everchosen, Archaon.
The current Emperor, Karl Franz, was leading the defenders of the Empire from Balthasar Gelt the Supreme Patriarch of the Imperial Colleges of Magic, was using his great power and understanding of the Winds of Magic, bending his alchemical magic to sent out spears of gold, silver, and iron at the slaves of Chaos.
The various mages from the Colleges of Magic, were fighting alongside the Supreme Patriarch himself, unleashing great fireballs, conjuring thunderbolts, and much more.
The devoted sons of Sigmar, from the Cult of Sigmar, were fighting ferociously under their lord and Grand Theogonist, Volkmar the Grim.
Riding upon his War Altar, not only servaying the battlefield, but commanding his sigmarite brothers in battle, with some khornate berserkers rushing straight at Volkmar, he clicked his tongue in disgust and struck first.
Harnessing the power of his War Altar through his Jade Griffon, unleashing that power onto the vile servents of Chaos, obliterating them, alongside their lord the sigmarite monks were smiting down all the fiends of Chaos, with great zeolite and courage they were taking down all the enemies of the Empire and Sigmar.
As the reinforcements of the Elector Counts, from allover the Empire, the greatest forces fighting were the men of Nuln.
From the gunnery engineers, ironsides, and more, unleashing their firearms deadly power, along with their war machines of cannons, war wagons, steam tanks, and land-ships, all lead by the giant of a man, Theodore Bruckner, who was commanded by his mistress, Lady Elspeth Von Draken, to fight for Karl Franz in the defense of their homeland.
Theodore, riding a great steed leading a calvary squad in a arrow formation, attacking a large force of Chaos Knights that mindlessly charged at the Guardian of Nuln and his calvary unit.
And the Emperor himself, Karl Franz, was smashing down some forsaken with he mighty golden warhammer, as he crushed another Chaos warrior, a large group of Chaos hounds were rushing in to attack when his loyal griffon, Deathclaw, swoop down and protect his master.
Fighting alongside his long time companion beast, the forces of the Empire were greatly holding their ground against the forces of the vile Everchosen, and speaking of the Champion of the Four Dark Gods.
In another part of this great battle, the dreaded Chosen of the Apocalypse, Archaon Everchosen, was in admist of battle.
Archaon's infamous [Slayer of Kings], was alit with daemonic fire, empowered by the soul of U'zhul trapped within the great blade, (This is a problem in lore, U'zhul is not only the soul of the daemon inside of Archaon's sword, but Skulltaker's real name, so GW "brilliantly" fixed this problem, by saying that while they have the same name...their spoken differently...yeah...so technically they're separate characters.) slashing and cleaving spearmen and empirial knights with absolute ease, their bodies and souls burning away.
Blocking the hammer strike from a Arch-Lector, with his great shield before he stabbed his daemonic sword through the chest of the weak sigmarite monk, rising his blade to air, signaling to his followers and servent to attack, as this war/invasion was just beginning...
Location Kislev/Borders of Oakstuun
Returning to North border bulwark, against the chaotic ridden lands of the Norscan and the Waste, the Daughters of the Hag were in disarray, since the lord of the Dark Legion has slain both Ostankya and Ulrika, under Ixion's command the Dark Legion was hunting down all stragglers.
Enzium was stationary in the southern border of Oakstuun, growling and vigilant of all, as the conquest of the Motherland was progressing smoothly, as all the surrounding areas and minor settlements were falling into the control of the Dark Legion, and the tzeentchian corruption on the Motherland was quickly spreading, exciting and invigorating those under the banner of Change.
Taking advantage of the brief moment of respite, Laharl suggested to his brothers Nurgle and Khorne to get closer with their "chosen" mortal "champion", like he was about to do with Tai Tai, Nurgle chuckled/gagged/gasped in a embarrassed manner, while Khorne grunted and commented that "he'll do as pleases" in a clear tone of hidding his excitement and eagerness to better connect with his Blood Witch.
What that said the Dark One and his brothers focused their dark divine power, into lesser manifestations to interact with Tai Tai, Skarlet, and Yuma directly, leaving Tzeentch fully in charge for a moment...
Location Within Enzium; The Eighth Floor; the Blood Grounds of Endless Bones
Taking over one of the drastically enlarged rooms in the castle fortress on Enzium, transforming the area into a bloody sacred ground for their Dark God of Blood and War.
A literal bloodstained area, were skulls, blood covered armor, weapons, and spikes are scattered around many pyres, great chalices of blood is drunk and offered to the Blood God, and at it's deepest part of this area was Skarlet sitting on her throne of brass and bone, surrounded by many warriors and daemons of Khorne.
With Flesh Hounds and Khornate Hounds resting near her throne's brass steps, watching as the two type of hounds feast the flesh, and bones of those slaughtered and defeated by the warriors of the Blood God.
Skarlet was sitting with strong pride in a sensual pose of her legs were crossed over the edge of her throne, enjoying the scent and sight of blood allover the grounds.
As collected heads of the fallen Kislevites were being stripped of flesh, and cleaned into skulls for Lord (Warp) Khorne offering, not long ago, Lord Ixion Daemonhart gave her the skull of the vampire, Ulrika Magdova, and immediately a offering ritual was made to the Blood God, and all the pale flesh of the dead vampiress was burned away and a clean, long, sharp-fanged skull was left undamaged, and soon it banished into a red, swirling Warp-rift, the first vampire/undead skull has been added to the horde of skulls in the Throne of Warp Khorne.
All the blood daemons and Blades of Khorne, were preparing for battle.
Sharpening their infernal weapons, and brass red weapons in the mortal side, forging thick pieces of armors, or making armor out of bones from great beast, or adding the skulls of their kills onto their armor and gear.
For those that follow the path of Khorne, are always ready and eager for bloodshed and war, this sight brought joy to Skarlet, for her forces could not only challenge the meager forces of Shao Kahn but surpass it in strength, brutality, and more.
She sighed as she feels ashamed that she once worshipped that weak soo called "Conqueror", Shao Kahn, has always been destined for defeat and madness. (Even if they'd made it cannon, that Shao Kahn won Armageddon, the end is that he goes insane without anything more to conquer, and in the end the Primordial One in MK, consume everything. And if...IF...he was still alive, he lost everything to "win".)
Then from the closest Brass Blood Chalice, the blood within the vessel started to bubble and overflow over the edges.
Drawing everyone, but the daemons after a moment they all kneeled before whatever happening, only one entity has the reverence and respect of the spawns of (Warp) Khorne, and that is the Blood God himself.
Skarlet was the first of the mortal servents of the Bloodsoaked King, to stand and after strutting to the chalice, she kneeled down in absolute respect and submission, as a burning eyed, figure of boiling blood, emerged from the chalice...
All then kneel before the manifestation of their Dark God, as (Warp) Khorne made his blood construct more masculine, reaching out his arm and called for Skarlet.
Her face flushed, her breath heavy and her heart rapid, Skarlet, she stood up and reached out her hand, taking the blood constructed offered hand.
He guided her into the chalice, as blood submerged them both, in a endless pool of blood, they held each other close as (Warp) Khorne, expressed his pride in her, his admiration and more.
She was a worthy bloodsoaked mistress, his champion of murder, bloodshed, and war, Skarlet felt her heart and soul was burning in passion and desire, as she soaked in the "affection & admiration" of her God and master.
Location the Upper Levels of the Gardens of Madness; the Catsaber Den
While the Blood God and Blood Witch, soak in endless blood in another level of Enzium.
In the great garden, claimed by the beastmen, and Tai Tai Shien's clutter has found a perfect spot in the Garden of Madness to make their den, using stone, bones, pelt, and the plants of the garden to make huts and small caves for them.
Deep in the upper area the catsaber reign, safe from the other beastmen that can never reach them, as the Chosen of the Gods, forbade all-out battles within Enzium, making both the Beastlord and Doombull to have a truce, and make their own herdstone in various points of the garden.
Now secure Tai Tai, instructed one of her best hunters to leave the hidden den, and start bringing in more catsabers to join her clutter tribe, as Tai Tai rested on a tallest spot of the den, the shadows started to gather along with the bats that have made the Gardens of Madness, their home began to steer.
Tai Tai smiled, as she knew this familiar sensation, it was her destined mate...the shadow is coming to be with her.
And she perceived the shadow merged into one red-eyed, all-powerful figure with bat swarming and shrieking above them, almost like a twisted serenade for them, she got closer to Laharl, purring and rubbing herself against him, as the shadows wrapped around her in cool comfort...
The Dark One's presence in the Garden of Madness, triggered a surge of power from the herdstones erected in the beastmen camps below, grating the chaotic beastmen a surge of frenzy and bloodlust that they have to satiate, leaving the Gardens to huntdown more of the humans in the outside lands...
Location the Seventh Floor; the Blighted Sacred Grounds
Yuma Trollvile was in the beautiful, and putrid territory of her warband of Maggotkin, taking over a seventh floor area, with the Grandfather's pestilent love and garden spreading fungul, and molding growth all over the grounds.
Rotting carcasses of victims, decapitated head of decaying flesh, oozing with spoiling fats and sinue onto pedestal these head were on, and just like her previous cavernous home, countless rusted incense hanging from spoiling wooden stakes, and posts.
At its depths was the Priestess of Putrefaction, herself, mixing her recovered cauldron filled with awful, awful "ingredients" for the great celebratory feast, dedicated to Nurgle, Nurglish were cheering and playing with the mutanted children that these Nurgle followers adopt and integrate into their tribe, all waiting for the feast to be served.
Despite disliking the tzeentchian follower of Ixion Daemonhart, the Infection Prince send him to give her the body of Ulrika Magdova, not to prepare or eat, but to offer to the Plague God, which she and her rotbringer sorcerors did, as the Champion of the Maggot King commanded.
Seven maggot infected corpses, were placed around the headless body of the Kislevite vampiress, as they chanted to their Dark God, the puss, vile, scum, and maggots from the bodies started to ooze and pour out, spreading out to Ulrika's body, before dragging down into a wet, viscous Warp-rift to the Plague Garden.
Such a successful offering, made all the nurglish daemons and Maggotkin of Nurgle very happy, joyous, and excited, so Yuma dedicated herself to prepare a worthy and "tasty" feast of spoiling, rotting, and blackening "foods" for all the Grandfather's children, both mortal and not.
That's when Yuma was cutting chunks off a fresh Thing in the Woods corpse, the smell of unspeakable horrors and stench, generously, and beautifully perfumed the area, as a mass of rotted gore, puss, and slime gushing down every orface of this thing, Yuma felt a strange...familiarity, and tenderness as it walked into the room.
Immediately the plague daemons cheered, dance, praised, and almost revered this entity, that's when Yuma felt a vile caress on her very soul, this thing...it was manifestion of her dear God, and he has come to meet her.
Overcome with joy, Yuma laughed and welcomed the Grandfather into their feast, saying this immediately got a reaction from her fellow (Warp) Nurgle worshippers, as they praised and admired the Godly manifestation.
Nurgle chuckled, and requested that they all return to cheering, and merriment for he has come to join as well, also he has come to speak to his Priestess of Putrefaction, which she was flabbergasted and honored, as this celebration has become a holy memorable event for this warband of pestilence.
Location the Top Tower, the Throne Chamber
While his brothers, entertained and got closer to those mortal women, Tzeentch started to miss his dearest Mitochondria Eve, they wait for him and he still has to plan their wedding...as much as he hated to admit, he'll need his brothers help to plan the wedding and celebrations.
Sighing as the Changer made Ixion adjust himself on the throne, since their were no worthy opponents and victims for him to crush, he has to wait for these last defenders of Kislev to come to him, which is soo boring for him especially...
As he waited for his brothers to return, Tzeentch started to watch and toy around the minor strands of fate in the Old World in order to entertain himself, but bound to a oath with Laharl to not cause mayor issues he settle for lesser things that might bring some amusement...
