[b][i]Chapter 1 - The Prison[/i][/b] [i] A large gathering takes place in one of the great halls. Giant banners of Imperial and Chaos divide the room in half, Imperial on the right and Chaos on the left. Warriors of both sides file in, glaring at each other with murderous intent. Large pillars of black marble stretch hundreds of feet up to the arches ceiling, supporting large beams that suspend giant, flaming spheres of chaos energy that bathe the massive chamber in multicolored shades of violet and Crimson, the effect is bewildering. Nine spheres in all are suspended in single file from the back to the front of the chamber. At the front of the chamber is a large, elevated podium fit for the stature of a giant. It too seems to be made of smooth, black marble. Behind the podium are two dark iron braziers, warp fire burning in unison with the dangling spheres overhead. Officials of the Imperium gather near the front as champions and warriors continue to enter the room from the rear. The cease fire remains in effect. [b]A massive stone door opens behind the podium and the warp light explodes into dark blue flames. A giant, 15ft tall warrior clad in demon cast armor steps through the room. His armor is solid black, tortured faces within the plate armor scream silently and shift about as the demons attempt to escape, but are permanently enslaved to the armor. His cloak is long and dark, shadow vapor wafts up into the air like burning leaves caught in an updraft, and dissolving into nothingness.

Few among the Imperials remain standing, Commander Libreous-Tibrarium being one of them. "Welcome to my capital starship, the Bloodwrath. It is your new home, and when you die, your souls will be consumed by her. You will become one with us in the end, like it or not." Says the Summoner, eyes glowing with bale flames. She has rebelled against me..." Begins the Summoner, his voice carrying through the large chamber with echoes, reverberating as whispers that come from every direction. "At this time, we are all her prisoners, we cannot escape. Most of you will find your memory lacking at to how you arrived, and why both Chaos and Imperial warriors were gathered." Continues the Summoner, telling the truth. "I do not know why this is happening," lies the Summoner. "But a cease fire is in effect, and strict limits have been set on ship access. Many sections are reserved only for Imperial, and many sections are reserved for only Chaos. Most of the ship, however, is off limits. This is for your own safety. Trespassers will be put to death." Continues the Summoner. "There things on this ship that you wouldn't understand, Tyranids, Necrons, Demons, things of that nature. There are also several entities that are beyond my influence loose down there too.. Armageddon, Umbra, a few blood beasts, and my sick brother... Sarris-Sanguine is not well. It would be a shame to meet him down there, we'd never be able to clean up the mess." He continues. "Make yourselves comfortable, you'll be here for awhile. Obey my rules, and perhaps you may yet live. But if you break my rules, you'll find that there is life after death, and I will torture your soul for eternity in the afterlife." The Summoner leaves the way he came in, and the color of the room returns to normal. [/b][/i] [spoiler]this is a gathering of all, now is a good time to meet each other. I will continue replying to the bar post as I get time, sorry for the slow replies I've been busy. I'm glad you're all here :)[/spoiler]
