Chapter 1
Hunger! Epherea needed souls to feed on, but there were none to find during their flight through the webway, following and escorting the miraculously living Yvraine.
Agitated, the bloodbride launched a tirade of insults concerning the ancestry of the bloodbride beside her. When the other bloodbride, Villya, countered surreal and imaginative, Epherea saw the amusement to see her insulted in Yvraines Eyes and hissed. She knew better than to challenge her succubus right now, but her time would come!
Epherea had fought multiple times under Yvraines leadership, from Commorragh through the Webway, in Nurgles Garden, on Zaisuthra and many battles inbetween. She had watched Yvraine carefully and although she had no interesst in leaving or even killing Ynneads Emissary, she no longer saw Yvraine in her courtly attire and the ridiculous headdress as a worthy succubus, the headress and the gowns train hampering her speed and movement.
After the return from the Well of the Dead, Yvraine led the Ynnari again through the webway and no one knew what her destination was. Epherea was at Yvraines side, biding her time and watching the Opener of the seventh way.
Approaching their intended gate, the Ynnary felt the wind coming from the planet on the other side. before Yvraine and the Visarch side by side, swords drawn, passed the gate followed by a small group of the Ynnari. On the other side they found themselves on a wide, open plain. Strong winds coming from the right made the train of Yvraines Aeldari-style gown flutter and the Gyrinx Alorynis seemed inclined to „play" with the cloth. Yvraine put away her war-fan and tried to control her train with one hand, looking sharply at Epherea a step behind and to her left. The bloodbride managed to let her spiteful smirk disappear in time, apparently before Yvraine could register it and asked in a calm tone: „Whereto? Shall we continue?"
