"In the ruthless universe of the far future there is only war."
That is something that Kanan Scott knew very well. After two hundred years or more, as he never counted, he thought that his death would give him the opportunity for eternal rest in the...
Now that I'm delving deeper into Lore, I just found out that indeed, the primarch did have a mother. Apparently, a perpetual named Erda, the second most powerful perpetual after the Emperor, gave half of her genes to the Primarch project.
Ups.
Then all the excitement that Tomoe was special for having a mother no longer had an effect.
And if you've never heard of Erda like me, don't worry, she was a super character capable of killing four demons at the same time who died in the same paragraph in which she appeared. Warhammer stuff XD.
The good news is that this discovery does not affect this fanfic, because although Erda could have been the mother of the primarch, Amar Astarte could have been Tomoe's biological mother, literally speaking. So this crazy idea, although it hangs by a thread, still has something to stand on. XD. Anyway. Let's continue with the story.

????: - You know what you want. You are tired of so much nonsense and your body cries out for power. Say it. Say it and let everyone listen to you. Blood for the god of blood. Skulls for the throne of skulls. -
????: - So many paths. So many possibilities. You want it. You want to know the truth. You wish you knew what is to come. You are afraid of being stuck in the present. You long for change, and you know where you can find it. -
Slannesh: - You have ignored the voices. You know you're enjoying it. You know that you are feeling pleasure from your actions. You kill your opponent. Cut their devil flesh before the fury of your sword. You know how it feels... And you love it. -

Thousands of other voices echoed in his head, crushing the little sanity he still had, although four of them were the loudest. It was then that Kanan decided to lower his sword, knowing that he had to face the enemies of his mind before he could defeat his enemy in the physical world. When:
