Leonidas took off the Templar's helmet. Leonidas took out his Narthecium and slid it onto his arm. A large needle filled up with a green liquid. He looked at the Templar. "This is going to hurt. A lot." Leonidas wasted no time after that, as he stabbed the Templar's neck with the needle. The green liquid slowly seeped into the wounded Space Marine's veins. And holy shit was it painful.

[i]The Templar had a small stream of blood leaking from the right corner of his mouth, and both his eyes were closed shut. He managed a small nod after Leonidas was done talking, and gritted his teeth. Then the needle was jabbed in his neck. He winced and groaned in pain as the liquid seeped into his veins. He clenched his remaining hand into a fist, his blue eyes flying open. His breathing became a wheeze again. Sure, he was very much used to pain, but it so hurt like hell. [/i]
-
His breathing eventually became unhindered. He felt no pain, he didn't feel tired. He felt fine. Leonidas sighed and put his Narthecium. "There. The serum reverted you back to your optimal physical state. Your wounds are gone. You should be fine." Leonidas held out a hand, hoping to help the Templar up to his feet.

[/i] "Thank you for all you've done lately.. Besides the.. stabbing of my shoulder.. I expected the end there.. When I saw the horde, the Warrior, and then again when I saw you.."
-
"Don't thank me just yet, you could be turned inside out any second in this place." Leonidas looked around, then gesturing Iratus to join the two. Iratus arrived, cleaning his axes.
-
"That's very much true.. If I'm not mistaken, we're currently in the Warp.. Explains all the Xenos scum. Daemon infested, this place is. And I don't like it in the slightest. Makes you think why we're even here.." [i]He looked over to Iratus, and the first thing he said was, [/i] "Why were you on fire, earlier?"
-
Edited by Xeno: 7/28/2016 5:42:50 PMIratus let out a hearty laugh, full of pride and joy. "Its one of the many perks ye get when yer friends with The Blood God!"
-
"Ah.. Interesting.. How did you two even meet? It's surprising that you both lived through your meeting.. Unless he," [i]He nodded to Leonidas, [/i] "Was always a Heretic."
-
"[b]Nah! Leonidas was actually following the Emp for a time. We met. Kicked each others asses. And then I showed him the lie he was living![/b]" Leonidas nodded and looked at the Templar. "I hope I can do the same to you."
-
"The lie he was living.. Excuse me for asking, but what Chapter were you? You certainly weren't a Black Templar.. And do try.." [i]He said, looking back at Leonidas, the helmet being back on his head at the time.[/i]
-
Leonidas stood still when the mentioning of his previous Chapter. "No. I cannot. I took an oath." He looked away, as if it sprouted bad memories. Iratus put a hand on Leonidas' shoulder.
-
[i]The Templar said a soft, "oh," and went very silent afterwards, just standing still in silence for a while. Then it was like he wanted to say something, but ended up changing his mind. [/i]
-
Leonidas let out a sigh of relief as it was over. The terrors of his mind subsided. Leonidas looked back at the Templar. "So what now?"
-
[i]The Templar responded with a very simple and soft, [/i] "Convince me." [i]It should be obvious what he was talking about. And if it wasn't: he wanted Leonidas to.. open Skatai's eyes.[/i]
-
Leonidas looked at the Templar. "When was the last time you saw the Emperor?"
-
[i]The Templar just looked back at Leonidas, staring as he carefully said,[/i] "I don't think I've ever seen Him.."
-
"Then prove he exists."
-
[spoiler]oshit[/spoiler] [i]The Templar fell silent, thinking as he looked down at the ground. [/i] "I.. can't.." [i]He very silently said, almost like a whisper. [/i]
-
"Then why do you worship a concept that you aren't even sure exists?" His voice was full of concern and pity.
-
"Because it was hammered in there for as long as I remember.. Whatever happened, they said the Emperor.." [i]He closed his eyes with a deep breath, his shoulders hanging low. [/i]
-
"How do you know the Imperium isn't ruled by a group of Fanatics? How do you know the Military isn't corrupt?"
-
[i]The Templar didn't respond, just slowly shaking his head in silence. Then he spoke up again, his voice silent and monotone, [/i] "I don't.."
-
"Your superiors are brainwashed sociopaths. Killing innocents because they have an opinion."
-
"I get it! I get it, I get it.. I understand.. It was all a lie.. But.. you're lying.. Then.. No.. Yes? I don't know.. I don't know, I just don't.. I don't want to believe you, but honestly.. I do.."
-
Edited by Xeno: 7/28/2016 7:20:25 PM"That's what I said when Iratus did this to me." "It's the truth."
-
[i]Skatai's shoulders returned to their normal position, and he looked back up at Leonidas with a nod.[/i] "Guess I'm a Heretic now.."
