Alright, heres the deal... im not going to tell you where this is heading or what the major plot is but I want you to figure that out from this small teaser. If you want more I will post more just dont get into it about what is right and what is wrong within the fluff possiblities of what 'will' happen, no female marines or anything just...you will find out.


A flash of white light blinded the bridge of the Sword of Redemption. Marshal Gorgon covered his steel eyes with his armored gauntlet but to no avail his senses could not withstand the light. Every inch of his genetically engineered body felt cold, even through Marshal Viktor Gorgon’s solid ceramite plated power armor it felt as if a thousand needles pricked against his flesh. The air from Gorgon’s lungs was heaved from his massive chest while his ears rang with the brutal piercing sound that slowly faded, as did the light.

He knew only darkness now; he felt his eyes open and close but still no image. The bridge of the battle barge was quiet and still, none of the machines that operated the many stations chimed or hummed as they had for countless centuries in service. There wasn’t any hustle of movement from the fleet orderlies and the mind locked humanoid servitors that served aboard the fearsome vessel of the space marines. Gorgon mussed the thought that death had taken him, but this was no final battle alongside the Emperor, this was dark and cold, unnerving thought that should have troubled him more, but for whatever reason troubled him far less than one could sanely expected.

He is the one, this warrior of the so called Imperium of Man…

The voice entered his mind like a shallow echo of some alien accent that he understood; though wishing beyond hope it were not so. His muscles ached and his armor hissed the servos were left unpowered, at least now he knew death was not upon him, but rather lost in the darkness. As the Air entered his lungs again, Gorgon’s body slowly found its place with the cold metal grated floor beside the command pulpit he had once been standing by as the ship traveled through the vacuum of space.

He can save us; he will bring order to this galaxy…

A second voice spoke; it seemed as if there was many in the same room as him, all whispers of the same xeno accent. Gorgon climbed to his knees, the power armor straining and creaking as it moved. Still in the darkness of his bridge yet he was able to move about, remembering and knowing where he was even though still unable to see through the pitch darkness; he could sense the beings around him, an alien feeling that penetrated deep into his soul, such a taint it sickened him to the core.

[/i]We cannot trust another Astartes… These Mon-Keigh have failed us before.[/i]

Gorgon was now standing, his eyes searching the darkness but to no avail, a small light flickered on his power armor indicating his suit was recharging itself from its internal power source. The green glow was enough so that his eyes could quickly adjust to the dark. Gorgon fixed his half lidded eyes on five figures standing around his pulpit; each one slender and tall like that of the Eldar xenos, only the silhouettes could be seen. Wheezing something that could barely be called a semblance of the gothic language, his mind went blank; forcing out nothing but a wisp of air that should have been words. He just stood there, unable to move while these aliens watched him; feeling their eyes watching his every move, as if a jury before a singular being looking down on it. For the first time in his centuries of life as a space marine he truly felt unable to fight.

Lead him to the path and he shall bare the torch to which it burns the darkness that will soon plague this galaxy …

Those were the last words as the xenos then drifted off into the mist of the darkness, leaving Gorgon standing there, his body feeling weak again and his eyes rolled up under faint eye lids as the space marine fell against the command pulpit unable to move as the bright light plague his vision once more.

The hymn of chatter and movement spurred Gorgon awake as a cold gauntlet smacked his face from one side to another. Blurred faces moved into view as Gorgon opened his eyes wider and blinked as he sat up under his own power.

“Marshal Gorgon, the warp has taken us.” A voice called out across the bridge among the noise and urgency of controlled panic throughout the crew.

Standing before Gorgon was the mighty form of Brother Santos, his dark sage eyes watching his Marshal’s movements, aiding him if need be. Sword Brother Santos, the Marshal’s senior of his Marshal household. His black armor was jet-black with red accents across the shoulder plates

“Status on the bridge!” Gorgon bellowed as he rose to his feet, still clenching the arm rest of the pulpit. The power armor seemed to of moaned and hissed with each of his movements, the joints unpowered and was forced to use his own strength to move the highly polished midnight black armor that had once aided Gorgon’s strength.

Against the restraint of Santos’s hand Gorgon pushed it aside and walked over to the star charts that were laid on a data screen in front of him. The green hue reflected off of Gorgon’s stern facial features, his eyes reading the data that streamed out. “I see nothing, no coordinates, no possible fix on a location, nothing.” Gorgon paused for a moment. “This is impossible…” He said at last before his mind thought back to the last few moments he had witnessed, it seemed as if no one else saw or heard what he had, as if it was all just a dream. But what did it mean he thought, it could be the warp playing tricks on his mind but it felt so real.

“Marshal… By the Emperor we have no idea where we are.” Santos altered Gorgon as he moved to his side; the words were concerning but yet not a hint of uncertainty in them. “The warp has.”
Cutting off his battle brother Gorgon raised a hand to silence him, though by no means disrespecting him. “Tell the navigators to search for the astronomican; we cannot lose sight of the light that has been gifted to us by the Emperor.”

Santos nodded with a bow of his head and left the bridge into the navigators hold, there the Black Templars stored their psykers with extreme abhorrence against them. Not a single Templar was tainted with psychic abilities, though thought as gifts in most chapters; they were highly unwelcomed within the brotherhood of the Black Templar.

(Here is another page for you! enjoy! and yes im trying to bait you to read more of this, so please post if you want more!)


Falling silent the bridge was in disbelief that they had fallen victim to the warp, but in all manner they hadn’t been inside the warp at the moment they last remember. The Black Templar fleet was seemingly sucked from real space into some unknown location, unable to find the light of the Emperor to lead. Crusade Fleet Gorgon was lost, along with it nearly two hundred and fifty Black Templars space marines and countless fleet scribes and chapter serfs that served alongside their giant protectors.

Mustering his leadership Marshal Gorgon stood in his command pulpit and awaited the arrival of his two Castellans, Lanius and Manfred both highly trusted warriors of faith and tactical battlefield knowledge. Lanius, a master of fleet operations and naval warfare often was left in charge while Gorgon led attacks on the ground. Manfred a stern and cold warrior, quick to anger like any son of Dorn; a warrior leader that seeks armored warfare above all, calling forth a wall of land raiders to crush his enemies.

Glancing down at the cluster of data slates and blinking screens streaming countless amounts of data each second Gorgon shook his head, none of their current star maps were able to locate their position. They have been able to establish that the fleet is not currently sitting in the warp, which by now the dark horrors of chaos could very well be plaguing the stranded fleet if they were.

Cycling through the screens Gorgon began an auto search for the navigation systems to load each star map set until one worked. It was something he could have done at least till they were able to establish a course of action.

“Marshal Gorgon.” Castellan Lanius said as large steel doors closed behind him with a hiss. “I don’t know how the Emperor’s mercy this has happened, but we will figure something out.”

Gorgon looked up to see Lanius walk toward his location from the bridge enterence. “Your guess is as good as mine old friend.” Saying as he presented a hand to which Lanius tightly grasped Gorgon’s forearm and shook.

“Castellan Manfred said he might have something for us, as long as we don’t think he is crazy.” Lanius said with a smirk across his aged face. Lanius stood tall, his armor shinned and reflected the dim lighting of the bridge just as well as his hairless scalp.

“That will decide what he has to offer to us.” Letting out a slight laugh as he shook his head, his eyes glancing down at a data screen to his side, raising a brow Gorgon leaned over and brushed scripts and slates out of the way so he could read the screen. “By the Emperor….”

“What is it?” Lanius beckoned as he leaned over to see what the Marshal was looking at. “Do we have a fix?”

“Yes…but it can’t be true, it’s impossible.”

“Marshal, I believe I have something for you.” The deep voice of Castellan Manfred came from behind the two space marines. “Read this.” A data slate was tossed down on the bank of screens next to Gorgon.

Gorgon glanced to the data slate and then back to the screen. “Lanius, read this and make sure I am reading this correctly.” Stepping back Gorgon shook his head and looked to Manfred. “Do you believe it?”
Manfred nodded silently while he watched Lanius.

“It…it says M31 on the time stamp. But how?” Lanius questioned as he turned to face his brothers. “Is it some trick of the warp?”

“I don’t know, but my navigator confirms it as well as the navigation systems on my ship, and by the looks of it same goes for this battle barge.” Manfred spoke as he lifted the data slate from the computer bank and traced his fingers across the green display of a star map, zooming in on their location. “Do you know where this is?”

“Isstvan…”

A voice spoke toward the mustering of armored giants, a female approached from the darkness, robed in tattered white and black, her face pale and thin much like the rest of her slender form. “It is Isstvan my Lord.” She spoke again.

“The warp is lying to us.” Stated Gorgon as he refused the believe they had somehow travel through time, just the thought of that alone made him laugh and shake his head in disbelief. Musing the simple idea of his fleet being tossed back into time when living legends like Rogal Dorn and Leman Russ walked among the stars. His steel eyes looking upon his frail navigator, though he was forced to trust this person he admitted he did not like it. “You believe the warp?”

“You can never believe the warp Marshal.” She said as she came closer, though the only psykers aloud to walk among the Black Templar, they were kept under close watch incase their minds wandered.

“Speak Alana, you must know where we are.” Gorgon said as his eyes glanced down at the data slate, the blip on the green screen showed the orbiting planets of the Isstvan system.

“The navigating machines are correct, because I was linked directly into the ship when we were taken by the warp, I could…In a way sense where we were heading.” She said to him, her long skeletal fingers reached up and pulled back her frayed hood, revealing her empty eye sockets. “My eye sees the brighter light of the astronomican my Lord, burning stronger than I had ever seen before, the warp plays no tricks on us Marshal because we are really here.”

“Here?” Manfred took a step forward. “Where exactly is ‘here’ witch!” He snarled as he picked up one of the data slates in his crushing armored hands. “The warp as taken your sanity woman, this is impossible.” He calmed himself as Gorgon shot a glance to him.

“There is only one way to find out my brothers.” Lanius said as he placed a hand on Manfred’s shoulder to ease his frustration. “We must make contact with someone.”

“With whom will we do that with?” Gorgon added as he turned and faced Lanius raising a questioning brow.
