Fear Incarnate

Fear Incarnate Portion 3

Glimmer paced crazily along the floor of her room, the vast space could ill accommodate her growing displeasure. She had been grounded for the second time this month! As if the little incident at the fuel station was that bad! Glimmer teleported to her hanging bed, throwing herself back into the lush sheets. Then she realized something, Bow was gone. He was always here, always there to hear her vent or just be there. Glimmer once again teleported to the window overlooking Whispering Woods, she couldn't see Bow's jovial face staring back at her from his perch. Her eyes wandered over to the bridge, and she spotted a hulking form looming over a smaller. Probably just a guard bringing in another civilian, so Glimmer returned to her frustration.

Bow saw Glimmer's shining hair for only a split second until he realized she most likely couldn't see him or the massive armoured giant behind him. He sighed heavily and straightened as they approached the gates. The two guards stationed there looked at each other in confusion, but seeing a leader of the Rebellion with the malice tinted warrior they stepped aside. Bow thought desperately what he would say to introduce the knight thing, would the queen be able to see his discomfort? Bow still had the shreds of what he had seen clinging to him. He still labored over this as he passed more guards and up stairs, leading up to the throne room. Massive double doors opened as the duo entered, Bow put on his best smile and prayed the knight would speak for him.

Innoak couldn't help but overhear the mortal child's loud thoughts, he smiled again at the naivety of the words he spoke within his cranium. Innoak would help the child if only out of pity, he wished to speak to the queen of this conclave of sorcerers. The child was of no matter to him. Innoak approached the sorcerer queen, she opened her mouth to speak when he held a hand up. "My kind do not speak through their mouths, or we do it rarely. We keep this through the leyline of sorcery." The queen nodded, her gaze drifting over to the macabre trophies hung around Innoak's armor. "What...are you?" Innoak inverted his sword grip, allowing the tip to rest on the marble floor. "I am a Librarian of the Soul Haunters, A Battle Psyker in service to the Emperor. I have arrived at your world through devious means still unknown to me. I seek a way back to my brothers in arms, but while I am here I feel it is my duty to eradicate the tyrannical xenos rule that you are subject to." Innoak paused for a moment, watching the face of the queen as she understood. Finally, he continued. "I despise you, you and your entire conclave of heretical magic. However, I hate xenos more, especially xenos who decide they can invade a human populated world." The queen seemed to be shocked and it was a few seconds before she spoke again. "If I am correct, you come from a place worse than Etheria?" Innoak nodded, briefly considering showing her the horrors his brothers fought normally. He decided the mental strain of seeing Demons Would be too much for her. The queen continued, her face becoming hard. "How will you help us?" Innoak smiled, he lifted his sword and held it to his side theatrically showing her the full extent of his armoured majesty. "I am fear incarnate, I am the Emperor's will made manifest, I am wrath untold and pain without end. I will slaughter your foes, or break their minds with a mere touch of my will." Then to punctuate the point he let a burst of energy crackle across his blade. Then with a moment's pause he opened his mouth, and spoke for all to hear. "My name is Innoak, and soon all your foes will tremble at its utterance. I promise."
