A story i recently started (re)writing, i hope you enjoy! C&C wecome.
Chapter One.
It was night. A bright night with many stars that could be seen clearly even with the numerous lights coming from the capital city of Algoris; one of the Imperium Of Man's many pleasure worlds.
Two figures ran across the roof tops of this city; the first a short man in deep purple satin suit and the second, his pursuer was clad in decorative power armour mostly obscured by his long grey over coat. The first jumped down on to a glass roofed building and the pursuer followed quickly, the first man reached the far end and saw there was nothing to jump too and the second stopped 10 feet away from him and drew a hell pistol from inside his sleeve. The first figured turned auto pistol in hand, ''Drop it'' the second figured said from insides his helmet. Firing six rounds from his auto pistol while grinning the first figured didn't once hit the second man. The receiver of the fire stood puzzled for a moment and then heard cracking below him, ''Oh throne'' he muttered as he looked down and coming to a shocking realization; he was on glass the and the man he was pursuing was on the edge of the roof on the metal edging the glass and the he had been shooting at the glass. As the second figured just began to fall through the shattered armoured glass he fired off a shot from his hell pistol which hit the grinning man and toppled over after him. The man in the overcoat crashed into a golden light lit room where nobles had gather to have a party, security men with Las rifles approached the crash area and he got up from the wreck and put his hands up see the weapons being pointed at him. Slowly he reached into his coat and pulled an object the cause many to gasp, some to stare blank and others to faint, ''I am Inquisitor Loris of Ordo Hereticus.''
Many hours later Inquisitor Trystan Loris paced impatiently back and forth in a small room in the local Arbites office, tapping his fingers on his armour in his crossed arms stance when a well built round faced, red-headed Arbites woman came in. ''Well? He half snarled. She handed him a data slate. ''this is everything for the physical examination, they have just started the autopsy.'' She said in a very serious manner. He took the data slate and read, as he did so the Arbites woman studied him. Loris was a tall man with tan sand coloured hair, he hand a strong, sharp but rounded face that would have been smoother if not for the strong expression of irritation on it. Next she looked to his armour, it was dark blue-steel all over, the shape of the arms and legs was liken to that of Sororitas armour while the chest and shoulders were in the style of the Astartes. She then noticed the decorations; on his right knee plate was the sculpted face of great bull with flaming horns and on the left the face of an eagle with starlight eyes. On his right shoulder; the face of a hound with a long snout like that of a wolf and on the left the symbol of the Inquisition, finally on his chest plate a great Aquila sculpted on, Over his armour he wore a plain grey trench coat. He looked up at her with his piercing grey eyes, nodded and said: ''Let me know when the autopsy is complete and when it is tell them to keep the body preserved.''
''Of course sir'' she said and walked out. ''Any luck?'' said a very mellow voice. '' a little.'' Loris replied to the man who had just entered the room. Raven was a stocky man dressed in full all covering Kardonian pattern carapace armour of the Kardon-Ardon PDF with a Kardonian pattern las rifle stock up on his back, He had light brown hair and yellow-gold eyes and a face that look similar to Loris's but more smooth and relaxed. Loris slid the data slate across the the table to Raven as he sat down opposite Loris, he picked it up glanced at and sat it down. ''So all we know is his name is Grad Thorn and he got the mark on the upper leg signifying that he's a member of the cult?''
Loris nodded, Raven sighed. ''No better then we started'' Loris grumbled '' oh don't be so glum, we caught him at least right?'' Raven replied cheerfully. Loris Now saw the slush fruit drink in Ravens hands. ''decadent aren't we pleasure cultist?'' Loris chucked out sarcastically. Raven giggled and saw Loris's helmet upon the table; dark blue-steel like the rest it was in the shspe of a hound like the helmets of officers and senior NCO's from the Blood Hounds chapter of Astartes.
Then the Arbites woman came back. ''They gathered his possessions for you to look through now sir'' she said.
''Lead on'' loris returned getting up.
She led them to a large room where the cultists possessions were lying on the table; a card, an auto pistol, a few thrones, a cigar box,a sheet of paper and a packet of crackers. Loris picked up the paper, it was a small plain sheet and written on it was: At the normal place at the 20th hour something big is happening cant wait. ''Could be a cult gathering.'' Raven said and went back to slurping his drink. Loris nodded and picked up the card. It was a purple care with white striping across it, and it had a bar code on on edge. ''A key of sorts.'' Loris stated almost to himself.
''to what?'' Raven wondered aloud. ''to whatever the ''Place'' is I assume.'' Loris replied. ''I know it.'' the Arbites woman said. They both look at her. ''Where the card's from I mean.'' she said ''where? Loris asked. ''A club not far from here.'' she returned ''Take us there.'' Loris said moving away from the table. '' what''s your name?'' he added. ''Maria.'' she replied
