I was with the rest of the Primarchs. I felt absolutely small. There presence alone made me feel insecure. I remember all they accomplished and would if the world stood the same. After a few instances of doubt I shook it away. I may not be on par with them, but at least I never screwed like some of them had.
"Yoh," I said as I waved at them. Keeping it casual is better than the alternative. "How are things?" I moved over at sat in a chair while they stood standing.
"It is rude to sit without the host present." Said Guliman.
"It is rude to invite people over and not be here. Besides O dont think he cares if I sit and wait."
"Who are you to decide that?" Dorn said dignified. "You think you know what father thinks."
"Totally not what I was getting at. But you need to relax. Like seriously relax. before you burst a brain vein." I was about to say more when the door opened. In walked Angron with the Emperor. From the looks of things it went well. "Greetings Emperor," I said to him with a nod of my head. I then addressed Angron, "I take it everything is fine Angron?"
"Yes, in a few days I will be good to go. In a month the pain will disappear, with a year it will be as if they were never there from the beginning." Angron walked over and took a seat as well. Right next to me.
The others just looked and then to the Emperor that smiled. He was happy for the change of pace I felt.
"Let's all have a seat. No need to remain so rigid." Sitting down the Emperor motion for the rest to sit. At the table there were at least a 101 seats. "This is the room we originally we all would have commanded from. But Chaos intervened interrupting my plans."
"We must do what we can to find our other brethren." Spoke Sanguinous. "If any of them had the same fate as these two.. I shudder the thought about what could have happened." He said looking to me an Angron.
"I know. But right now we have to take the chance with what we have. Hopefully they are resourceful as the rssy of you have been." Tje Emperor said. He was determined to continue the great crusade. Which I would have done the same of. "Angron do your best with your Legion under your command. I give you 3 months to get rested and acquainted with everyone."
"It will be done." Angron said after thinking for a bit.
"I do not have a Legion for you Azul. But I know you have your own forces you will make up. Just remember to kept the Eldar in line." The Emperor said looking dead at me. His stern gaze told me all I needed to know. He was counting on me to succeed in this. Also was giving me a way for my lack of presence I would have here. "While you are at it, try to map out the sector."
"Ha! A right job for a lightfoot." Leman said with a boisterous laugh.
"You are right. But give me a year or so and this lightfoot will dance circles around you." I said to the man with a toothy grin. I didnt mean for my fangs to come out but they did.
"I look forward to it brother." He said to me happily.
It was then I noticed the table had a numeral un front of me that lit up. The numbering had changed. Or maybe this was just my designation for something
"Designation XXI Primarch of the Argent Angels. Patres Ordinis Xenos." I read outloud. "Thank you Emperor."
"Dont screw it up." Jaghati said smiling. "Someone has to deal with the relations between us and the Xenos. "Who better than one raised by them such as yourself."
"That I will." I felt so happy for some reason

Listening as the meeting go on I made some notes about things. The other Primarchs to my right had been raised with Xenos as well. A man thinner than me had been raised by the Kroot, till an Etheral had found how gifted he was. One man was raise by Orks. His savagery matched Anhrons, Jaghati, and Leman. Another was raised by himself. He lived in a Necron Monolith remains. He used it to learn all kinds of things apparently. If there wasn't an accident I doubt he would have joined the Emperors crusade. He looked as if he rather be tinkering away with something. I think he was only settled down by the idea of heading to Terra to vie the technology. The next was someone who wore a full body suit of sorts. The voice came out mechanical and always with pauses. As if it the person was having trouble talking.
"That is all." The Emperor said before leaving.
A custode walked over to me and spoke with a stren voice of disappointment. In five hours head to the audience chamber. You need to go through debriefing. Do not be late." With a pivot he walked away.
"Well... ok then. That was unpleasant." Getting up from the table I spent time talking with the others personally well as best I could anyway.
Magnus and Sanguannias had a good bit to talk about with Psyker abilities. We hit it off relatively well.
Lionel had left five minutes after the Emperor. So I was surprised to see him when I turned a corner. Proper against the wall he pushed off it when I cam beam He fell instep with me easily. His biotic strands told me he was worried about sometging.
"Lionel, it is ok to ask me anything. Come with me to the audience chamber if you wish. I have at least 30 minutes to spare." I said to the man hoping it would work. it did.
"Thank you." His voice was filled with relief. Arriving in the chamber he scanned the room. Finding nothing he pressed his gauntlet. I could hear faint static in the room. "I need your help. On my planet of Caliban there is a strange creature there. I have not seen it, but I have heard it. Deep in the forest when I was a child. I dont know why I am telling you this but I feel like I must. The weapon the axe you fought with. The markings match a cave exterior. I would like for you to come to Caliban and investigate it with me."
"That is strange. But I dont see a reason not to." I thought about it and basically just wanted to see what it was. "When are you headed that way?"
"Next month. If the warp does not screw it up. So will you do it?" Lionel ask to make sure.
"Of course." I agreed. The moment I did the System sent the notification.
System: Quest Chain Lionel El Johnson has a secret so dangerous it threatens Caliban and the Imperium itself. Rewards: ????, Increase favor of the Emperor, Absolute Loyalty of Lionel El Johnson and the Dark Angel Legion. Failure: Dark Angel Legion falls to Chaos completely, Horus Heresy one step closer to success.
I was so lost with the quest I didnt know that Lionel played my shoulder and left. The next moment I heard someone call me.
"Azul you are early." The Emperor said walking in.
"Ah yeah was just talking. What's up John?" I said not r ees ally paying attention.
"Oh. Didnt know you knew my name. It is always refreshing hearing it called."
"Yeah, I could see that." I turned and notice a small group of Cusyodes and a few sisters of silence nearby. The biotic strands of confusion from Custodes was funny. They dodnt see why the Emperor was so relaxed with me. And so forth coming. "So what the danger?"
"No danger. Just the chance to talk." Sitting down John relaxed in a few seconds a drink was placed in front of him.
"Oh yeah I have something for you." Reaching into my Inventory I pulled out the orb. Walking over I handed it directly to him. "Take it. I dont want it."
"This is?" The Emperor asked. His eyes neve left the orb. "It can't be."
"A piece of the Immaterium and Chaos itself. I dont want it. Best given to someone who has already messed with that stuff." The Custodes stepped back as the sisters circled the Emperor.
"Are you sure?" He asked me.
"Absolutely. Do you not want it?"
"I gladly take it." Trembling the Emperor placed it inside himself. The world lost its color for but a moment. "Thank you. I will never forget this.

System: Would you like to rework Slannesh?
'Sure?' I didnt really know what that meant but why not.
System: Slannesh has turned into a User Soul Weapon. Cannot be stolen, destroyed, or possessed. Can be accessed even against System regulation denies.
'Holy crap.' I need to look deeper into the. As well as the notifications I didnt read during the battle.
"Azul, thank you." The Emperor had stood up and actually bowed to me. "You have done humanity a great service."
"Happy to help. Hopefully we can win this time against Chaos." I said smiling considering from the history, of the worlds humanity and the galaxy lost everytime.
"We definitely have a higher chance now. Let's talk a little not formally at all right now."
We talked for a few hours before I left. Heading to my chambers I was surprised to see Mileena there. She looked different but felt more mature. Before I could ask her anything I was In my Nether World.
"You bastard!" Jaina yelled. "She teleported and started yelling at me right in front my face. I didnt say anything as I felt she would most likely have done this.
'Hehehe, she is really upset.' Zelda said laughing.
'Yeah she is. I expected as much. So it will be fine.' I thought this would be brief but I was sorely mistaken. 'She has some pipes on her I swear. Glad I can keep my kool. I feel a few my powers acting up against this.'
"Say something!" Jaina yelled splashing water in my face.
"Hi. Are you ok?" I asked wanting to know her current state. "Not the yelling part but the effects of what happened in the battle. I was out cold so I couldn't do much before."
"She is fine. All lingering effects have been taken care of." Galtea said. "She has also gained some significant levels the same as everyone else did. I also have some good news and a little bad news."
"Oh, such as?" I asked generally wanting to know. "By the way I dont feel any stronger and cant access my Inventory." I reached out mentally and felt it weird. "I was to earlier when I pulled out the orb and gave it to the Emperor."
"That will pass in a bit. I am waiting for you state of mind to relax before releasing it. It is gonna hurt." Galtea said
"Do not ignore me!" Jaina yelled.
"I was not. I am waiting for you to answer my questions actually." Giving her my full attention I waited. "Well?"
"Why did you do that to me?" Jaina asked close to tears I thought. "What is your problem with Techlis?!"
I looked over to see the man standing to the side. He said nothing. I felt my Laguz blood boil. The very sight of him made my teeth ache. It was even worse now.
