Act 1 – The Trials

Chapter 1 – New Dawn

Nothing... absolutely nothing.

Flash light mercilessly pierces the black abyss, ripping it asunder.

Only then did I become aware of myself, and how rapidly I was falling.

"Thud" I hit the cold sleek ground and suddenly became aware of my lungs attempting to clear the water fervently occupying my lungs.

Clearing the water, I take big lung fulls of air, finally catching my breath I close my eyes to take in a few long and painful breaths to calm the nerves.

My head hurts trying to comprehend how I got here. From the middle of a battle on the base of an erupting volcanoes, the heat threatening to burn up the air to here, somewhere wet and cold, like the middle of the season of water.

Heavy, deliberate footsteps tread towards me and increase in pace, closing in on me I feel a cold metallic hand grab me by the back of my neck and lift me, acting to reflex I try and strike out at my attacker only to receive a sound punch to the to my stomach, releasing even more bile. Looking into the eyes of my captor I feel fear unlike any other.

Everything starts to piece itself together. I'm here in the hand of a Wolf Whom Stalks the Stars. A being who deserves the utmost reverence and I just struck out against him.

"Hahaaha of all the aspirants I've seen today YOU have the spirit of a true Wolve of Fenris. Keep that close at heart and I shall openly welcome you as a battle brother. I am wolve priest Velus of the Space Wolves chapter of the Adeptus Astarte's."

"Whua? Whoa? Huh?" I mumbled as he dropped me onto my feet

" Im sure you have many questions but they will have to wait, for the time being just know that I have watched you from afar for many months and selected you to become a candidate for the trials. And as you lay dying your guts falling out freely of your belly I swept in and saved you and patched you up, so you are here today to compete in the trials. Now follow me." explained the Wolf priest.

Cold, tired and naked I followed him to a new dawn.
