Chapter 26 - Echoes

Isha's arrivals has made massive waves, in both universes. Her grasp on her new powers not yet firm, sparked a un intentional 'baby boom' across all know galaxies of the Stargate universe , yet nothing was as profound as the impact it had on Ignis Prime.

Like Cupid going on a killing spree with love arrows, couple after couple felt more in love than ever before, creating near everlasting bonds, and in turn further solidifying this world populating boom soon to come.

Ignis being somewhat attentive also noticed the changes but with such things not in his realm of care just shrugged it off, If the sexy space elf goddess wants more babies left her go wild, so long as her passion does not evolve into something weird, he does not mind much.

(W40K POV)

the faint ripples of Isha's departure did not go unnoticed by many, as the Aeldari's patron goddess they where scared and confused mostly, but with a faint flicker of her power still visible in the empyrean, It could only be that she is still alive yet far out of reach.

The snot slinger being the most upset, even going as far as trying to pull her back with the hold he had on her, but nearly going pale when he noticed she was beyond the boundary, where the void horrors roam, feel great sadness, he unleashed even more virulent poxes and plagues, across all of the galaxy.

The emperor, having shaved many of his unwanted divinity, could think clearly for the first time in millennia, acted fast, while there was a lul in the ravages caused by the warp he would take this opportunity, seeing it safe to leave the throne for some time, repaired his broken vessel and stood up from the throne.

The first order of business was to call his sons, or at least the few left. Guilliman, receive a golden message to return to terra as fast as possible. The great khan, got slapped out of his blood hunt in the webway, by surging golden light, with a clear head he heard the message 'return to terra at once.

For Vulkan it was something different, like a dream suddenly shattering, and a golden lasso dragging him from the depths of his own slumber deep within his homeworld, with a massive volcanic eruption he once again saw the sky of his homeworld, the few salamanders near the area fell into a stunned silence as their father once again walks with them.

A missive golden beam plunged into the earth at the site of Sanguinius's final resting place, his perfectly preserved body suddenly bathed in the golden glow, roused from its eternal slumber, his mind becoming clear and opening his eyes once again, the blood angles near the site, staring in awe as the slumbering primarch walks again.

The custodes reacted much the same as many others, but they knew one thing most did not, change was coming the the bloated corpse that is the imperium, for only they know where Big E walks, rivers of blood flow behind, and in this case it will be the blood of the corrupted high lords and leaches apon terra.

(Ignis POV)

I was feeling very energized, the events of the past few days, flashing in my mind, as I walk around the city to clear my thoughts, Isha, the hot space elf that she is got a massive power up from one of the Entities, Me eating part of the warp and just a lot of fuckery happening in a sort time.

Having partially awoken something I feel as though a block in my previous self has been lifted, even as I walk everything is clearer and smoother, almost like this was how it should have been, yet was not.

Coming out of my thoughts, I noticed I am not near the city anymore and have wandered into the mountains, feeling like this is a good moment as any to test what happened, I look inward, into the black nothingness at the centre of my being, when suddenly everything around me changes, like a Kaleidoscope of every colour and feeling all around myself.

This must be the Warp or whatever its called here, I notice a few pairs of eyes on me, when the scenery suddenly twisted and changed into that of a diner or a bar. Pulling myself together I understand that these must be the so called ancients, with many pair of eyes look at me but no one talking or moving it felt weird.

I decided to make the first move, raising my hand and saying '' Yo, names Ignis, no idea how I got here but I mean no harm''. Have so many people staring at me felt weird, I relax when a tanned women at the bar spoke up.

''You are not ascended, yet you are here.'' She spoke smoothly, yet not friendly, Not knowing how to respond I explain I must have somehow became what's called a 'psyker' , being able to have my own echo in the warp or empyrean or what ever its called here.

I receive weird looks from the Ascended around me and decided to try something, by pushing my will onto the warp I bend it to project a packet of memories to the tanned woman who asked me in the first place.

She panicked for a bit then started to analyze the memories, it was mostly a fabricated short film explain the Warhammer universe. Her expression got darker and darker as she kept watching and analyzing, till she seemed to take a deep breath and sigh.

''I have some understanding now, the new higher being that arrived and the changes that's rapidly occurring, its all related to you coming from there, isn't it''. she spoke in a flat tone.

''Yea'', I replied, not explaining further, she seemed to understand, knowing less is better, even though a great void separates us and them right now, the warp is still very funky and can do weird things, so its for the better to just leave things as they are.

The others seem to make a silent agreement, and then she spoke up again,'' we agreed to not interfere in the affairs of mortals, but we will also not stop you, and ask a favor in return. To protect this galaxy if any incursions were to occur and in return we wont block your rise, as long as you don't endanger this universe's higher realm''.

I easily agreed, as its basically a free pass to go ham on what ever the plot was supposed to be, with this some main worries are solved, as even though I am powerful now, I am still no where near the power of an ascended.

pulling my consciousness beck from the ascended realm and once again delving deeper into that massive void I see in my soul, I trigger some memory fragment, languages I don't comprehend, sounds, tastes and smell that make no sense. When suddenly out of nowhere to abyssal eyes peer at me from the darkness.

I snap from my position of the ground where a sat, thick black and purple blood flowing from eyes, mouth, nose and ears, the world suddenly starts spinning and I collapse onto the ground, the think sludge pooling around my head, when suddenly I understand something, I am not strong enough yet, better not stare into the abyss for now.

Getting up and cleaning myself , then making my way back to my palace, when I arrived I noticed Isha standing near the entrance, waiting for me. She did not say anything as I arrive and only smiled a lovely smile that gave off a worm loving feeling, I guess she wrestled control over her newfound power while I was away doing the same.

''I back'', I said, only to Isha to say ''welcome back''. we walked side by side towards the kitchen area, where one of the servants were cooking up a lovely smelling dish of meat and veggies.

I ate in silence as I contemplated what has happened up to this point. Isha seems to be relaxing on the couch, with a soft smile on her face. Maybe she is just enjoying the first peace in many millennia. I left her be and went to bed, It felt like I have not slept in years, though completely possible with my body, it is not recommended.
