The Webway Misadventures Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt had taken Ahriman mouths of planning, weeks of reading ancient star maps, and days of waiting but he finally did it. He was back in the Webway and now he will find the Black Library he will understand the secrets of the Gods and maybe just maybe he will become one himself. There was nothing that will stop him. However there was one thing in all his planning that he didn’t take into account. The fact Discord was not in the mood to deal with this. “Are you done?” Discord asked.
The Chaos Sorceror was brought out of his thoughts of victory for a moment to see the mismatched entity in front of him. His first reaction was to ask what a Daemon of Tzeentch was doing here but he then stopped himself. True the entity looked like something only a Daemon of the Changer of Ways daemons would look like but something was off. The feeling of Chaos from him was off. Ahriman then realized why it was off. This entity wasn’t connected in anyway to the warp in anyway. “What are you?”
Discord raised a eyebrow at this, “That’s a surprise most just call me a daemon you know,” Discord gave a chuckle, “I am a Spirit, the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony.” In a flash Discord was gone causing Ahriman to look around, “I have answer your question but I can tell you're asking yourself who is this Spirit and why does he claim to be Chaos am I right?” Discord appeared right behind him as his Rubrics. “However I have a question for you what do you seek within this place weapons, knowledge, power, or persons all three?” Discord said as he changed his outfit from a warrior to a scrip and to a king before taking all three.
Ahriman gave pause at this “Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony” he seemed out of place within the Webway no he was out of place within this Universe. “My reasons are my own Spirit but I must ask why are you here?”
Discord dropped his outfit and teleported just behind him. “Why8 for my own reasons as well but seeing how I don’t want our goals to conflict being that we further the goal of Chaos itself I am here to just explore the Webway and I must admit I am very disappointed with the construction of such a creation.” Discord himself was trying to keep from damaging too much information after all as a Chaos Sorcerer. While it wasn’t him he was concerned about so much as his master.
“Just exploring?” Ahriman could feel a voice telling him to not trust this entity and to attack a destroy it now. Discord himself looked at the Rubric Marines recalling from Imperial records about how they were trapped and almost seemed to have no true will of there own. A dark, greedy smile came over him.
“Nice Rubrics I’ll trade you a map of the Webyway I found for a few of them what do you say?” Discord offered holding the holomap with a bubble of his magic.
Ahriman admit a map of the Webway would improve his chances quite a bit but making deals with daemons or in this case a Spirit always came with strings attached, “I can not spare any of them now…” Discord rolled his eyes.
“Not right now but on a later date now what do you say?” Discord said using his powers to make himself more convincing, “I could always sweeten the deal with some,” Discord Whispered into his ears, “Forbidden and Ancient knowledge I’ve accrued over the eons you know.” Discord adding a little extra than normal to hopefully seal the deal.
After what was a few moments of debating Ahriman had made up his mind. “Very well Spirit you have a deal.” Discord held out his paws burning of blue flame as the two of them shook there hand Discord took his leave and Ahriman get the holomap Discord had keep with him along with the updates the Spirit had made to it.
After the deal between them was struck with Ahriman, Discord and the Chaos Sorcerer went there separate ways. After a what felt like a few days of wondering the veins and arteries of the Webway Discord came across another Eldar warhost.After being shot at stabbed and a bunch of lighting from Discord came out on top. He did made a note however. Eldar technology was both advance and the wraithbone they were made from hurt like Tartarus.
“That’s still going to sting when it heals.” Discord said as he held his hands over the wound in his stomach. He was lucky he didn’t need most of his organs or even blood to survive. Looking around the bodies and wreckage from there walking warmachine and there armor. Discord reached down and picked up the spoilers of his victory.
Discord first went for the weapons and armor looking over there bodies he removed something far more valuable to them then even there technology. Discord held up the spirit stone feeling the soul of the Eldar within it. All he needed to do was crush the stone and he would doom the soul to it’s fate. “To believe that once your race ruled the whole Galaxy for millions of years,” Discord spoke to the stone as he left it floating in the air as he removed each of them setting them floating next to him, “I’m surprised your species didn’t see the signs I mean your race is powerfully gifted able to feel emotions in ways humans couldn’t believe you follow Elder should have realized it the moment those warp storms started to form.”
Discord finally removed the last of them looking over the all the souls literally within his grasp. He had a smile at all he could do with them. In a flash Discord summoned up a chest to store them all away. ‘I have great bargaining chip if i run into any Craftworld Eldar.’ Discord thought to himself as he continued his trek through the Webway.
Within Inquisitor Dorcsid’s quarters was a small crystal held on a self. No one paid it any mind thinking it was something from his homeworld which rumor believed was a feudal world. However this crystal was made by Discord for one very important propose. He had made it with a spell designed to teleport him from anywhere and drag him back into the room. The crystal glow as vortex of energy shot out from it. Landing out from the vortex Discord gave a sigh of relief. “Home sweet temporary home.” In a flash Discord transformed back into Dorcsid.Sitting down within one of his chairs he summoned up one of the Eldar weapons.
He held it for a moment almost admiring it. He unsummoned it and soon formed a ball of chaos magic suspending it in the air with a snap the ball of chaos magic started to act like fire as Discord stood up summoning the Eldar spoils and tossing them into the Chaos magic. “Let’s see if this works.” Discord started to use his magic and his will to reshape the Eldar weapons.
After a few painstaking hours the fire was unsummon and Discord wiped the sweat from his brow. Discord quickly changed his outfit and walked up to his mirror to admire his handiwork “No one would suspect this is actually Eldar technology reforged by my magic and my will.” .Discord said with a smile on his face. He put over the red trench coat and placed on one of his hats taking a few swings with his sword light as a feather despite how dense it was. He placed it on his back and pulled out his guns giving them a look over he holstered them and gave himself a smile.
Discord then got thinking remembering his deal with that Chaos Sorcerer. “You know I should probably start offering deals again it’s been a few thousand years and it’s not like half the universe know to attack me on sight when I offer to do it.” Discord gave a smile at this.
Meanwhile within the Warp Tzeentch was deep in thought. His various voices arguing about different things as they each voiced reasons making new plans and destroying old ones. However there was one thing he found annoying. A foreign variable that can hide from his sight. He hated not knowing something as it ran against why he existed in the first place. This was the reason for the current debate.
“He’s just one entity and just because we can’t see him directly doesn’t mean we can’t plan with him.”
“Fool we can’t only not just see him directly his mind is closed to us! We don’t know what he is planning how can we plan for that!”
“We can’t and that shouldn’t concern us we play chess with the whole Galaxy there is no way he can alter anything major.”
“**He’s appearance has changed the outcomes way to much not only that but it seems others have followed him from wherever he originates and they too are altering our plans way to much.**”
“So let’s just watch everything play out.”
“Perhaps we don’t have to be enemies we were a bit too demanding he could prove a powerful ally.”
“No we should force him to serve us!”
“Enough all of you! He is not the second coming of the Anathema so stop treating him like it! He also isn’t some minor threat we can just ignore but right now his influence isn’t something to be concerned about! We will watch and see if he becomes a throne in our side we will remove him before he becomes too entrenched alright are we done!”
The voices stopped arguing as they all come to agree with the last one. He would watch the entity called Discord and should he prove a nuisance to him will find someway to take him out of the game.
