Khorneās Realm, The Wrath Gate
The Realm of Blood was in more disarray than Skarbrand had ever seen it. Everywhere, loyalist and usurpers clashed, bloodying the land and very nearly splitting it apart. A great entity in the suggestion of his father leered at all hours over the realm, both to embolden his followers and intimidate would be challengers. Even Skarbrand was not immune the effects, his mane at a stand, his concerns masked by the urgency and desire to see Khazaan recovered.
Several times, he glanced back at Nākari to ensure the other was following and hadnāt gotten cold hooves about the desecration. But the Daemon of Slaanesh marched on just as he.
They were close. Nearly pass the great, yawning hole in the realms bordered on either side by great, weeping mountains of lava. The fighting here was slim, as it was far from the hunting fields, where most of the dueling was taking place. The Wrathgate Arbiters themselves were largely absent; as the closest adherents to Khorneās law and source from which most honorable Blood Daemons got their notions of just how to kill, they had been busy. Spread thin.
And the Wrathgate was vulnerable. More vulnerable than it had ever been. But not completely undefended, as the guttural shout ofĀ āREAPER!ā by one of the Bloodletter garrisons would soon prove. But thatās all it was; Bloodletters of varying rank. Of course, the Bloodthirsters and Daemon Princes would be in the thick of the fight, fighting for or against the Crown of Khorne.
The Bastion Wall was as much barracks and barricades to the Arbiters, who came filing out like a colony of agitated army ants. Roaring, blades held high, commendable in their fearlessness but still...they were mere insects before the Arch-Tempter and the Wrathful Reaper. Skarbrand turned to Nākari, knowing it would only be a matter of time before reinforcements arrived.
ā Your sisters.ā The Reaper indicated, heaving with effort and caked in daemon gore,Ā āSummon them. Letās do this.ā
