Rise of the Sky Child
Prologue
The Immaterium, more commonly known as the Warp, is a place of pure psychic energy. Scholars debate on whether it is a higher plane of existence or another dimension entirely. There is one thing that they all agree on: the Warp is fickle. This idea extends to what is known as psykers, people who use the Warp to summon up mystical powers, and the denizens of the Warp itself such as the Ruinous Powers and the other daemons that call the Warp currents home. The Warp's fickleness can be anything from tainting one's soul or giving another divine guidance, pushing one back through time or even pulling one forward to the future. This leads many to wrongly believe that the Warp is inherently evil and that the Ruinous Powers rule it ultimately. The Warp is the Balancer of Life. For just one psyker to even touch the Warp, hundreds of thousands are born that cannot; and even that touch to the Warp does not come without a cost to the psyker. The Ruinous Powers even have challengers to their power such as the God-Emperor of Mankind; the gods of the Orks, Gork and Mork; and even the remains of Khaine, the Eldar God of War. Everything is balanced by the Warp.
This balancing led the Warp to act in a most peculiar manner during one instance. This event was the stealing of the Primarchs, the genetically engineered sons of the God-Emperor of Mankind, by the Ruinous Powers. Each of the Primarchs was placed on a random planet throughout the galaxy, but the Warp interfered in one case and instead sent one of the children to a planet in another galaxy so that the balance of the Warp and its presence there could be sent in a new direction. The new galaxy, like the Materium, has mankind and ascended beings, but is also inhabited by false gods and their enslaved races, dying races with advanced technology, and even races that could wipe out all life that exists in this galaxy and its neighbors if given the chance.
Now this child, no this Primarch, will be the latch key that will decide the fate of this galaxy and its denizens. Beat the drums, light the fires, and let loose the hounds, War is coming to the Milky Way in all its Glory and all its Horror.
Author Zone:
This story was inspired by a long night of WH40k Space Marine for the Xbox 360 mixed with watching a marathon of Stargate SG-1 on DVD. From here the story will be filled with world building and setting the stage for the massive wars that will follow against the Goa'uld and Replicators. If this story is well liked, I will continue and bring the Ori and their Priors into the scheme and even have the Wraith make an appearance. I also feel that this maybe similar to another set of stories on this site ( ), The Emperor Works in Weird Ways, Of Wraiths and Bolters, and Heresy through the Wormhole all are written 'by he who fell from grace.' His stories focus on how the Stargate series is changed by a group of Space Marines and their views. This story will focus on how the Primarch changes the galaxy while also being changed by it. Also at some point more Imperium personnel will appear, but don't expect everything to be peachy.
