Rogue Shadows
Prologue
Brother-Captain Decius Cogidubnus looked around at the carnage. This looked like the work of the Dark Eldar. He was extremely annoyed at that race of xenos, too cowardly to fight a proper battle. Decius walked over to the wreckage of a Leman Russ Tank, examining the blast marks. Darklight weaponry, weapons that fired concentrated Dark Matter. Decius examined the bodies of the young and old, many of them had been killed in was the Dark Eldar deemed interesting. What was once a beautiful green world was now a dead planet; its life drained from it. This had once been his home but there was nothing left here now. Upon getting into the Stormraven, he saw something planted into the ground; a banner. His anger rising, he pulled out his bolt pistol and fired at the banner, making many holes in it. As they flew away from the planet, Decius swore he saw a jade-coloured portal close…. On the planet of Melunasa IV, planted into the body of an Imperial general was a banner. A banner of a Grim Reaper ripping the soul out of its chosen victim and manipulating the shadows around it; the banner of the Kabal of Dark Souls.
Chapter 1: Love
Malek adjusted his cape and polished his armour of his Kabal colours. This was it, the day that he would finally be with Kaelis, joined in dark matrimony. He had invited his friends and little family he had left and Kaelis had invited hers. She had been taken back to her home to prepare for the big day. Malek called for his slaves to fetch Avaunulin, his sword and his splinter pistol. He walked out of his room and down his hallway, his slaves adjusting anything that seemed out of place. As he approached the door, his butler Kiontail gave him the papers he wanted Lord Vect to sign. This document was proof of Atherakhia's movement to the Kabal of Dark Souls. Malek walked out of his palace and boarded his transport, Kiontail behind him. After he got on, his personal Incubi and Kabalite Trueborn boarded as well. There is no telling of who might decide to attack their Supreme Archon and their Supreme Archoness.
Malek finished putting his hair into the traditional ponytail and asked Kiontail how he looked.
"My lord, you look magnificent"
"Thank you, Kiontail"
"Are you nervous?"
"Wouldn't you be?"
"Remember my lord; my love is not in Commorragh, she's in a space bound Kabal"
"Ah yes, I momentarily forgot about that"
"My lord, there's a small thing I will point out; there's a bloodstain on your cape"
"Dark Muses, where?"
"Stay still, I'll get it off"
"Thank you, if the Priest of Khaine caught scent of the blood, he'd be lost in a blood-frenzy"
"There, I've got it off and I've eradicated the smell"
"Thank you Kiontail, I don't know what I'd be without you"
"Think nothing of it sir"
"How long do we have to get there?"
"If we don't come under attack, I'd say about ten more minutes"
When Malek arrived at Lord Vect's palace, he stopped at the door. Malek checked himself for anything out of the ordinary for the last time and he opened the doors. Malek walked up to the altar of Khaine and started conversation with his best man, Duke Traevelliath Sliscus. Sliscus was in Commorragh in secret. He was an old friend of Malek's and wouldn't dream of missing the wedding.
Malek stood up at the front as everyone sat down. Lord Vect was sitting in the front row as well as the little amount of family he had left. He also saw Serelia, Drazhar was there as a security guard and some others. Malek heard the doors open and he turned towards the door; this was it.
