Chronis Skullcrusher: The Blood Crypt

Chapter.2

The door was close, Chronis could sense the lost life force of his daemonic overlord. "His body may be broken but his spirit is still in there, the soul of a great daemon! and this day we will reclaim the great prince of daemons, Gilgamesh. The true son of Khorne! Kill Maim Burn in the name of the Blood God!" Chronis Snarled to his army across the bloodied field now riddled with the scum of the Imperium. It was nigh on impossible to save Verghast now. "Beta, Alpha and Zeta teams start searching every inch within a 3 mile radius for any and all signs of the mighty ones crypt, we will all be rewarded greatly for the carnage to come..." Commanded Chronis. " ...And kill anyone in your way, it is the greatest of priorities for the Blood Crusaders to find Gilgamesh and the Artefact!"

Many hours later...

"Gore-lord, we bring news of the Blood Crypt! we have found it! it is 2.89 miles, 74 degrees north-east of here, behind the cliff where the artillery was positioned." "Good, send word out to the rest of the search teams that we're moving to that location."Chronis replied "The rest of you get moving!"

Chronis and his Remaining men started their march to the resting place of Khorne's only son, Gilgamesh, across the once lush green grass now turned a coagulated red and up the rigid hills and cliff. There upon the peak of the cliff stood a vortex to the Warp, pure Chaos, only those worthy could enter this sacred place, only a true follower of Khorne. "Kulgar, Riktor with me! the rest of you stand guard for any one that dare follow!" barked Chronis. The two chosen cautiously walked in... "Do you doubt the power of the Warp? Khorne would not allow us to die! we are his chosen! now hurry!" screamed Chronis down the helmet intercom. Chronis Steadily walked in to the swirling portal trying not to show his fear, for he too was uncertain what would happen but he couldn't let his men see that the mighty Chronis Skullcrusher, murderer of millions, father to trillions knew fear!

Chronis' body was now on the other side of the portal he was surrounded by brass walls on either side of him, Kulgar and Riktor had now appeared behind him... Kulgar slowly removed his mask revealing a long black mane and pointed fangs, this was the first time Chronis had ever seen Kulgar's face but it was now easy to see which chapter he had rebelled from, The Space Wolves of Fenris. "By the Blood God! It's magnificent!" gasped Kulgar. Chronis ventured on in to the depth of the tomb, grabbing a torch from the wall to light the way. The three berserkers stared in awe as they reached the tomb of Gilgamesh and the resting place of the Artefact, The Brazen Axe of Khorne embodied. "Once every 100,000 years or so the Dark Gods have a great battle across the universe and actually embody themselves in a chosen member of their vast army to join the fray and if they are killed they embody another. This is the Axe Khorne used the last epic battle between Gods only a select few know about it such as Angron of the World Eaters." explained Chronis "it has the power to over throw the dead God of the Space Marines and dawn a new age of Chaos across the Universe!" Chronis reached out for the axe, suddenly the ground started to shake violently gun shots filled the air...
