After they Save Divinus Prime from near disaster, all the Blood Angels boarded the Blood Oath some of them where battered and bruised and some of them were mentally and physically drained.
Mariah and Mephiston went back to their chambers as did Rhacelus and Antros though still trying to figure out what the next mission would be as there was always something that Mephiston would be called to.
Mephiston and Mariah where always together no matter what the situation though she knew on one mission they would have to be split for a while till it came back to the journey home.
Well it was a three day journey home and it come to the point that both of them where alone so Mephiston got down on one knee. "Mariah you are my everything you have known both sides of me and still stuck by me you have seen the worst of me and never been scared. Will you marry me?" he asked.
Mariah looked at him and smiled but was crying not in a bad way they were tears of joy. "Yes Mephiston I will marry you, you are my everything you were there to support me through the worst day of my life and you helped me survive and beat the black rage and I am a better person for it." She responded.
During the night while Mariah was asleep she started to get agitated she was figiting and moving around a lot and she kept waking up it was like she was having nightmares.
"What's wrong Mariah?" Mephiston said with an uncharacteristic sound of concern.
"Just some bad dreams," Mariah Replied.
"Tell me about them," Mephiston said.
"Its like we are in a battle and then I don't know it gets confusing after that it like something bad happens all I know it is creepy and its stopping me from sleeping." Mariah Muttered.
"Hold my hand let me see sleep on me like you normally would and I will sleep to maybe I can help you figure out what is going on or what you are seeing," Mephiston said.
"Ok," she responded.
So she gave him her hand then snuggled down on his chest and fell asleep and true to he word he never let her hand go. While she was sleeping the dream kept getting worse and worse until they woke up the following morning.
"Morning Mephiston" Mariah said.
"Morning Mariah, how you feeling this morning?" Mephiston asked.
"I'm still freaked out by the dreams but other than that I am ok just missing home. You?" She answered.
"Yeah I am fine right, you may have to be away from home for a little longer I need to make you stronger make us stronger just so we can survive this fight." He responded while thinking.
"Take it that your conclusion is that one or both of us end up dead?" she asked.
"Not both just you what we are going against you wont win just remember if you die the future of the Blood Angels go with you and I cant lose you Mariah, you understand me, you are not scared of what I have become you see the good I can do you see how strong I have become. That is why I don't want to lose you," Mephiston answered, "also your dreams are not nightmares they are images of the future you are more powerful that any psyker could have foreseen."
"Yeah is that a good thing though, I know I memorized the Glutted Scythe as a Lexicanium under you I learnt more than I could have imagined and realised that given the chance we both could destroy our team, maybe we don't distinguish between friend and foe but I still don't know if that is a good thing." Mariah said.
"Well depends on who is looking at it, to me its a good thing though to someone on the out side it may not be, the reason why I see it as a good thing is because I have someone I can trust someone I can team with if needed someone who make me feel normal. You make me feel like a Chief Librarian you don't hide from me you show me that I can be different and still be a Blood Angel, because of you I am a better person I am willing to show who I am." Mephiston responded.
"Well if I make you feel normal that is a good thing then, just a shame I cant tell any one who I really am without the fear of being treated differently, which you know I don't want at the end of the day I chose to be a Marine I chose to fight I was not going to back out because I'm the last hope for the Blood Angels." Mariah said.
"That's my girl don't think like that the only person who can stop you is you I know you want to be normal and that is how we will always treat you but to me you will always be more to me than you'll ever know. I Love you Mariah." Mephiston told Mariah.
"You will always be more to me as well and I love you 2. On a different subject I don't trust Antros I think he's working for Chaos or something like that," she said.
"Yeah I get that though you know we cant do anything about him till we have proof. Any way if you want to know we are gonna drop off the rest of the Blood Angels then we will be upgrading we will be stronger than anyone will ever know we will be different in so many ways but at least we will be one and that is how we stay." Mephiston informed her.
"you mean we will be Primaris we will be taller, stronger, faster and more powerful than before we will be the ultimate killers, we will officially be the lord and lady of death." Mariah added.
