Fighting a Daemon
Too much was happening for me to merely stand by, I observed two marines fighting a daemon. A Bloodthrister, judging by how it stood looming above the Astartes. I instantly recognized both of the chapter markings on their left pauldrons. One of the marines, in burnt orange and black ceramite. Came from the Covenant of Fire chapter, a successor to the Salamanders.
The marine held a pyreblaster at the beast, dispersing promethean flame across its scaly body. The other marine was much larger in size compared to the Infernus. He came from the Storm Giants chapter, a chapter I’ve fought alongside in previous campaigns. Ancient warriors graced in crimson and ivory, known for their immense size and strength. There wasn’t much time to think, action needed to be taken and taken fast against this warp trash. “Is this the best the warp can spit out !?” bellowed the Storm Giant as the beast lunged towards him. The Storm Giant dodged and rolled out of the way before he could counter and at that moment, the Covenant of Fire marine responded “ Don’t’ claim this daemon for yourself cousin! There is plenty of it to purify”
These two knew each other it seemed, as I snuck quietly in the dark, waiting for a moment to introduce myself into the carnage.
As the daemon and Giant reset their positions in the battle, the Giant raised his thunder hammer, whispering to it as it ignited with energy and crackling electricity. The Covenant of Fire marine, stopped for a moment to reload his weapon, a finely crafted instrument from the scions of Vulkan, an instrument of the imperium.
The beast roared out its own taunt, “Dead Emperor, Dead Children”. The Daemon raised his right arm and made the first move to end the unceremonious pause in the fighting, swinging down with his massive sword. The Storm Giant quickly titled his helmet as he voxed his ally a new tactic. “Follow my lead brother and expel this daemonic scum from existence” As the sword came down on the hammer wielding Giant, he yelled out loud simultaneously swinging his thunder hammer. “ I will march! I will stomp! I will move forward for The Emperor!” The weapons clashing caused a quick burst of light and energy.
