Chapter 13D

Inquisitor Horatio Hoffman looked at his adopted daughter with deep fatherly concern. He loved her deeply and cared about her wellbeing.

"I think that it is time that we discuss the matter of your sexual activities daughter." Horatio told her frankly.

Egg and Yuki both visibly blushed and looked at the floor with shame.

"No, do not be afraid, I do not condemn either of you. This is not about laying blame, it is merely about your wellbeing." Horatio reassured them.

The pair nodded but still couldn't look at him.

"Egg, I have spent years studying how you think, I know your mind. I think that you have also suspected that the influence of Slaanesh is acting on you." Horatio said and continued.

"Slaanesh formerly claimed you as it's own, but you have been turned to the holy light of the Emperor, depriving Slaanesh of your highly desirable soul. Slaanesh will do ANYTHING to get you back and is whispering to you."

Egg went pale with fear and gazed at Horatio in horror.

"Do not panic daughter, you have not fallen from the Emperor's light. Having sex in and of itself is not a sinful act, it is perfectly natural so long as it is in moderation." Horatio reassured her and continued.

"You are both young and full of hormones, a healthy amount of sexual desire for each other is to be expected. But lately it is getting beyond what might be considered normal. The pair of you have been heard having sex 5 times a day on average every day this week, that is far above normal."

"I continue to keep detailed reports on you for the Inquisition and every time you have sex it is recorded by Inquistition surveillance. Egg you cannot so much as fart without me knowing about it, you have no privacy much as I wish that I could give you privacy."

"I want to work through this issue without judgement, find the root cause of your excessive sexual drive." Horatio finished.

Egg was blushing terribly but said, "it gives me peace."

"Peace?" Horatio prompted.

"Yes. My mind is so terribly worried that it makes me feel sick. I get panic attacks thinking about the future. Sex is the only thing I can find that drives all the thoughts out of my head when I want to explode." Egg explained honestly.

"Tell me your fears, let me help you." Horatio gently encouraged her.

"Where do I even begin", Egg said glumly.

***...

Augusta Sevenson yet again regained consciousness in his prison cell, his body aching all over.

"Get up Bastard, get up and fight like a man." Demanded one of Mary's many sons.

Augusta groaned, even his space marine physiology could only take so many brutal beatings before he could not go on.

A hard kick to his stomach made him cough wretchedly and he shakily rose to his feet. He was only just up before over 10 of Mary's neophyte sons were together beating the absolute shit out of Augusta.

For the last 24 hours without rest he had been brutally gang bashed without mercy by outraged neophyte sons. Augusta was older and bigger than them but he could not defeat them in a gang. There were too many punches to block all of them at once, he couldn't defend himself.

The Sevenson family of course did not give a single fuck about Augusta murdering tramps. Even rudeness to Mary was not seen as serious (everyone of the space marines except her kids insulted her to her face constantly).

In fact even getting into a fight with Mary had not been a problem. The problem was that Augusta had broken a very serious rule of the family fighting code, namely - don't use a gun in a fist fight.

Mary had never once tried to kill Augusta. She had used nonlethal blunt impacts to knock the wind out of Augusta and stun him, intending only to discipline him for gross insubordination. Had Augusta played fairly then he would have lost the fight and be forced to apologise, Mary would have then stopped attacking him, leaving only his pride wounded.

Mary had fought with honour, but Augusta had fought dirty. Augusta had used a weapon designed to destroy tanks to turn Mary into barely alive minced meat.

Now instead of getting to walk away without any real legal problems (even despite the mass murder of tramps), Augusta found himself in very very serious trouble and on trial for attempted murder of a legitimate Sevenson family member.

And Augusta was suddenly aware that no matter who his father was, he was still a bastard and did not enjoy the same legal privilege of a legitimate Sevenson. He was in more trouble than he had ever thought possible.

Augusta fell down yet again, the brutal punches of the neophytes were powerful enough to overcome even Augusta's space marine toughness. Augusta spat blood on the floor, which immediately started to hiss as his acidic saliva burned the metal floor.

"Get up you fucking coward!" Shouted the neophytes.

"I can't fight you all at once, at least fight me one on one." Augusta begged.

"You use a fucking auto cannon in a fist fight and you want a fair fucking fight!? You fucking hypocrite." Sneered his attackers.

Augusta grovelled on the floor pleading for mercy. As proud as Augusta was, 24 hours of nonstop beatings had broken him down.

The legitimate Sevenson children sneered at the illegitimate bastard grovelling before them and as one they got out their cocks and pissed all over him in contempt. Augusta humbly took his humiliation and was absolutely shameless in his pleading.

The neophytes were recording the entire brutal gang bashing and they told him to beg for the camera. Augusta knew that this footage would be used for years to tease and torment him, but he didn't care anymore. With his father currently fighting on Mia Rho, Augusta had no one to stop this.

"Don't beg, your father just returned." The psychic voice of Violet spoke in his mind.

Augusta grinned and rose to his feet with his last reserves of strength and attacked the neophytes with everything he had left. The neophytes were taken completely by surprise and he got a few good punches in before the gang decked him in a rage.

Augusta was absolutely vicious as he tried his best to keep fighting, determined that his father not see him begging like a wimp.

For another 5 minutes the savage punch up continued before suddenly the cell door opened and neophytes were thrown against walls by powerful punches.

Augusta looked up from the floor to see the terminator armour clad form of his biological father Chaos Lord Luke Sevenson brutally punching the neophytes. His face was a mask of rage as he used his awesome strength and power to beat the absolute shit out of the entire group of them.

The Chaos Lord was awesome to behold, a berserk blood mad entity of pure violence. He was holding the arm that ended in the Lightning Claw behind his back to keep the fight nonlethal and with only one arm he proceeded to paint the walls and floors with neophyte blood.

In minutes the neophytes were all cowering bleeding on the floor, kowtowing fearfully before their Lord and Master. The Chaos Lord removed his groin plate and pissed all over them in dominance just as they had to Augusta.

His father offered a hand to the savagely beaten Augusta and helped him to his feet. Augusta was at the end of his strength and limped so badly that he needed the support of his father's arm to walk.

As one the pair of psychopaths walked out of the cell, ignoring the grovelling neophytes that were still fearfully showing their complete subservience to the Chaos Lord.

The father and son walked to the throne room on the bridge of the Nightmare Asylum, ignoring the multitudes of fearful acolytes that moved out of the way for them. The throne room was impressive as always, the size of a mighty cathedral in fact and dominated by a suitably impressive throne. The pair looked at the throne and paused.

Sitting in the throne was the daemon princess TigerLily. She had transformed her normal daemonic robes into an elegant white wedding dress and had a white veil covering her face. She was swivelling back and forth on the throne with hyperactive energy and she was singing reworded wedding songs.

"Here comes the bride, big fat with pride, went through a warp gate and saved all your hides. Where did she go, to Mia Rho, stirred up a war and the rest you all know." TigerLily sang jubilantly.

Augusta was far too beaten up to really process the bizarre spectacle he was seeing and merely blinked at it.

TigerLily blew theatrical kisses at Augasta's dad and patted her lap gesturing the Chaos Lord to sit on her lap.

Augusta's father snorted with amusement and continued to help Augusta limp to the bottom step up to the throne. Augusta gingerly sat down and attendant heretic things rushed forward with food and water for the Lord's favourite bastard son.

Dad gave Augusta's shoulder a gentle affectionate squeeze before climbing up to evict TigerLily from his throne.

Augusta sighed as he felt his brutalised body already start to heal, the advanced healing factor of his gene seed organs was incredible. Augusta guzzled down gallons of water and stuffed himself with meat the acolytes brought him.

Augusta appreciated the tenderness of the meat, dead human babies really were the ultimate in tender red meats. As the slices of dead baby digested in his guts, Augusta felt himself healing much faster now that he had the raw materials his flesh needed.

For a while Augusta just sat there feeding and healing. He politely ignored as his father and TigerLily had sex in the throne, instead just resting his tired mind and body.

"Augusta!" Came the frantic cry of his wife Liling, and he looked up to see her running towards him from the great doorway at the front of the room.

Augusta just sat and let her come to him, he was still a bit too weak to exert himself unduly. He watched her come, admiring his tiny wife.

Despite being a few months older than Augusta, his wife was far smaller than him physically. She was 15 years old, petite and tiny, many times less heavy than the 7 foot tall Augusta.

At the moment she was crying and looking extremely worried as she raced to cover the distance to reach him. Augusta held out his arms in readiness and she hurled herself into his arms and frantically hugged him in tears.

Augusta was irritated but too exhausted to brush her off as she proceeded to fuss over his already healing injuries the way that wives do when their husbands are beaten up.

"I'm fine, I'm already healing. Please stop crying Liling." Augusta told her weakly.

The Slaanesh worshipping teenager tried to obey her husband but was unable to stop crying completely, merely sobbing gently in relative silence. Augusta patted her back affectionately and just let her cry it all out.

Not long afterwards, the rest of the crèche family arrived, accompanied by mum and Wendy. Augusta sighed in very slight annoyance as his mum and crèche sisters fussed all over him, worried about his horribly beaten appearance.

Wendy treated Augusta rather more coldly, Mary was Wendy's distant grandchild after all and Augusta would not be quickly forgiven by her for this. Wendy politely but coldly acknowledged Augusta's existence before then completely ignoring him and instead speaking to Dad and TigerLily about something work related.

"You ok Mum?" Augusta asked Octavia, indifferent to the fact that he hadn't enquired if his wife Liling was ok.

Mum shook her head and said, "No Augusta I'm not. But let's not dwell on that. We need to get you well before the trial, you are in very bad trouble."

"Is distant cousin Mary ok, will she pull through?" Augusta asked gently.

Mum went very quiet and looked away.

"Oh shit, is she going to die?" Augusta asked alarmed.

"It's hard to say, the doctors are not sure." Violet answered quietly.

A daemonic chuckle sounded from the throne. Augusta turned to see a topless TigerLily canoodling with dad on the massive throne.

"It's not hard for me to see the outcome, the fates are very clear, Mary lives." TigerLily tittered.

The females all gasped and cried with relief, except for Wendy who cocked her head suspiciously.

"Why am I being nice? And am I lying?. You are one of the wisest of the Sevensons, kudos to your cunning mind. The truth is that I might be lying and I am certainly a big enough bitch to just get your hopes up for nothing. And you can't be certain until it happens. It's absolutely hilarious being me." TigerLily said delightedly.

"TigerLily stop it," Dad said quietly.

TigerLily giggled and said, "Oh very well, yes she lives after a long and hilariously difficult surgery. The look on her face when she regains consciousness and sees her disfigured body in the mirror is so funny that I wet myself laughing earlier when I foresaw it."

Wendy shouted angry curses at TigerLily for laughing about something so sick and TigerLily poked out a tongue and winked mockingly.

"Well at least I'm not a murderer." Augusta sighed with relief.

"I think the friends and families of all those dead tramps you killed might strongly disagree." TigerLily said with a wag of her finger.

"They were raping my mum." Augusta said defensively.

TigerLily laughed with delight and said, "Well if you feel compelled to kill people who rape dear sweet Octavia then look no further than on this throne to your own dear sweet daddy dearest."

Augusta cursed with outrage but TigerLily just continued.

"Tzeentch sees and records everything, and I have access to his forbidden archive of knowledge. Let's take a trip down memory lane and watch your conception." TigerLily said with sick delight.

Before anyone could stop her TigerLily snapped her fingers and a massive ghostly cinema screen shimmered into life. Augusta watched in mute horror as a nightmare from the past was shown with full sound and high definition image.

The screen showed a messy serial killers Batchelor pad, a grimy fly infested largish single room apartment. It had a blood stained bed sized for a space marine, had bloody knives and other cutting tools scattered around the room, and on the floor next to the bed was half a dozen hideously mutilated dead naked women.

TigerLily laughed happily and told the name of each of the dead women and a bit about their lives. All 6 of them were native to Octavia's home planet of Harold's Reach, and 2 of them were distant blood relatives of Augusta and Octavia!

Screaming filled the room as a slightly younger Luke carried a screaming terrified teenage girl into the room over his shoulder like a piece of meat. With a stab of pain Augusta recognised her as his mother Octavia, before all the cosmetic surgery, her skin tanned from real sun exposure and looking absolutely horrified.

Augusta and everyone else yelled in dismay but TigerLily used her powers to silence and immobilise them and force them to watch this loathsome spectacle.

For 2 brutal hours Augusta watched it just go on and on. Mum screamed, Mum wailed, pleaded and begged in the native village dialect she had originally spoken. Dad smiled cruelly at every scream and just raped her all the harder. He clearly got off on her terror and trauma, it was absolutely sick!

Again and again his father came inside his crying mother on the bed. TigerLily eagerly explained that Octavia had been a virgin before this rape and she took special note of pointing out the huge amount of blood dribbling out of her violated vagina.

After Augusta was about to go insane from horror TigerLily spoke.

"Wait for it, wait for it, NOW! Augusta is now conceived. Welcome to the world little one." TigerLily said with a smirk.

TigerLily then mercifully stopped the footage and didn't show the rest of the brutal rape. Augusta felt absolutely terrible, hurt more by what he saw then by his 24 hour beating.

"That was your mum, now let's see Luke raping and mutilating your maternal grandmother." TigerLily said with sick delight.

"MOTHER!" Augusta's mum Octavia screamed as she watched the footage showing only selected highlights of the most fucked up snuff film Augusta had ever seen!

TigerLily proceeded to show the highlights of Luke brutally doing things best not mentioned to every one of Octavia's female relatives. TigerLily compiled a mix of her favourite moments in the genocide of Octavia's entire endemic ethnic group. The entire race of Octavia's people had been wiped out by the Sevenson Night Lords, Octavia was all that was left.

Totally inappropriately happy music played in the background and TigerLily started to sing.

"I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself what a wonderful world"

"I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself what a wonderful world"

"The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying I love you"

"I hear babies crying, I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world"

Augusta threw up.

"One last one, this time it's one of me myself experiencing your father's gentlemanly behaviour back when I was mortal." TigerLily said with a dangerous tone.

The ghostly screen showed a scene of blood chilling domestic violence in the Chaos Lord's Royal bedchamber. The footage showed TigerLily as she used to be when she was still human.

She had been a tall and wiry woman, lean and slender from a hard life of years of terminal drug addiction. She was a bird mutant abhuman like Egg and Violet, with long blue feathers for hair and bird talons for feet. She had been pretty but brutal domestic violence had ruined her face, leaving a flattened nose from how often it had been broken, a pair of perpetual black eyes and the rest of her face and body a mass of angry bruises and contusions. On her clean shaven pubic mound was visible her mark of Tzeentch marking her as a chaos champion.

The footage showed the mortal TigerLily naked and cowering on a bed. She had a psychic nullifying helmet securely locked around her head by padded iron bands with multiple pad locks, completely preventing her from using her psychic powers to protect herself from the brutal domestic violence.

The mortal TigerLily was weeping and pleading for mercy as Augusta's father did brutal terrible things to her, savagely raping the wretched lamenting diabolical genius psychopath he supposedly loved.

"And I say to myself, what a wonderful world", TigerLily sang merrily.

***...

As her psychopath of a sister was using graphic footage to psychologically torture the people in the throne room, Chaos Champion of Tzeentch Indigo Muhammad and her Tzeentch worshipping mutant hoard "the Indigo Foundation" were listening to the relatives and friends of Augusta's murder victims and preparing to bring a legal prosecution case against the Chaos Lord's psychopath son.

The Tzeentch worshipping mutants listened in horror to the witness testimony, this brutal murder of innocent Tzeentch worshipping civilian slum dwellers could not be allowed to stand unpunished!

Indigo's many mutant heads all opened their mouths in horror and sympathy and she shook with righteous anger at this terrible crime.

"You did the right thing speaking to us. We will not let this murder go unpunished." Indigo promised the newly converted Tzeentch worshipping Mia Rho citizens.

The heavily armed Indigo foundation mutants all around murmured in agreement, none of them would stand for murder of Tzeentch worshippers. Numbering in the hundreds of thousands, the Indigo Foundation had the raw manpower to fight for justice. The Chaos Lord would not simply acquit his son for his latest criminal rampage, he had gone too far this time.

Indigo sighed, another roadblock on the way to bringing hope to the hopeless and universal justice. She finished her meeting with these poor people after another hour and returned to her office to sort through some more paperwork for her massive foundation organisation.

Indigo paused and hissed in irritation as she saw her backstabbing amoral sister TigerLily standing in the middle of the room bleeding blue daemonic ichor out of gaping bullet holes in her torso.

"I have very little to say to you you evil bitch." Indigo coldly told the Daemon Princess.

"A rather cold welcome from my own sister." TigerLily said with mock upset.

"What do you even want sister?" Indigo asked getting to the point.

"I want to see you, I missed you." TigerLily said, probably lying.

"No not lying", TigerLily said reading her mind, "I would have killed you by now if I didn't retain affection for you dear sister."

Indigo grunted in acknowledgement and walked around TigerLily to reach her desk and start her paperwork.

TigerLily watched Indigo writing in silence and Indigo just didn't let herself be distracted. She had a lot of work to do.

TigerLily predictably got bored and started summoning daemonic horrors of Tzeentch to "help" with the paperwork and Indigo glared at her hatefully as the horrors grabbed piles of paperwork from the inbox tray and started eagerly filling it out.

"If they mess with the paperwork and put one word out of place or write ANYTHING that I myself would not approve of then you and I are not going to be on speaking terms for a long time." Indigo warned.

"Oh fine, spoil sport." TigerLily sighed and clicked her fingers and the horrors suddenly started doing the paperwork properly.

Indigo suddenly had nothing to do as the horrors did everything and turned to regard TigerLily with several of her many heads.

Indigo was not as fortunate as TigerLily in her walk as a chaos champion and was now almost a chaos spawn. Indigo and TigerLily had once both been mortal sisters, both chaos sorceresses and Chaos Champions of Tzeentch. TigerLily had achieved her diabolical ambition and ascended to daemonhood, Indigo on the other hand just got ever more hideously mutated and was fairly certain that she would be a mindless chaos spawn soon.

TigerLily giggled reading her mind, "I will keep you as a pet, I am already planning the design of your kennel in my zoo onboard my ship the Orphan Blender."

Indigo glared at TigerLily, shocked by how she couldn't even show pity for her own sister.

"I have lots of pity for you. It's a really nice kennel, all the food you could desire, lovely clean water bowl, some lovely bars for you to slobber all over mindlessly whenever Mother comes to visit you." TigerLily said with a chuckle.

"Please for Tzeentch's sake, HELP ME! I don't want to be a chaos spawn, you have the power to change my fate." Indigo exclaimed angrily.

"Why should I?" TigerLily asked mockingly.

"Because I am your fucking SISTER!" Indigo screamed at her on the verge of tears.

"Very well sister, but you owe me big for this." TigerLily said and snapped her fingers.

Indigo instantly turned into a chaos spawn and TigerLily rolled on the floor laughing.

"I lied", TigerLily howled with laughter.

TigerLily picked up her chaos spawn sister, put a huge red ribbon on her like a gift, and then carried Indigo to their Mother's apartment as a present.

Mother screamed in grief and cuddled the chaos spawn frantically, crying her eyes out. TigerLily laughed so hard that she wet herself, daemonic urine soaking her robes as she choked with laughter at her Mother's lament.

For long minutes TigerLily laughed uproariously until it wasn't funny anymore. Then TigerLily sighed and snapped her fingers again and Indigo was suddenly returned to her former bird mutant anatomy before Tzeentch had gone crazy with the chaos gifts.

Mother cried all the harder, this time tears of relief and she was unable to get a coherent word out as the surprised Indigo blinked looking unsure whether to be angry or thankful.

"You are welcome sister", TigerLily said.

***...

Having now been terribly cruel to several very dear loved ones, TigerLily was bored yet again. Both Luke and Augusta had angrily shot her with bolters after the home videos until she fled the throne room, and she was not particularly popular with her mother and sister either at the moment. She had to wait for them all to calm down before returning to them.

TigerLily considered visiting the hospital to torment the almost-widow with cruel words, but that just lacked STYLE.

TigerLily skipped through the ship singing songs that no one else knew and dropping 4th millennium popular culture quotes that no one else understood. The fates were all going exactly as predicted in TigerLily's highly convoluted plan, everything so far was exactly as she had planned many months ago.

Poor little Egg was trying so hard in her new life as a loyal lapdog of the false Emperor and that just made it all the funnier when TigerLily's designs reached fruition.

A tiny little bit of TigerLily's old humanity ached at the thought of her daughter Egg, TigerLily was going to be so cruel to her. Once upon a time she had really loved that little girl, actually had concern for her wellbeing, and these memories caused her slight stabs of pain.

TigerLily paused, not a big pause, not a long pause, but it was a pause all the same, a pause considering the morality of her actions. As quickly as it came, the pause was gone and TigerLily was once again eagerly looking for evil mischief to engage in, but all the same, she actually had paused, and for TigerLily that was HUGE.

***...

Chaos Champion of Slaanesh Wendy Sevenson was extremely upset and generally feeling bad as she and her wife Octavia wept in the aftermath of TigerLily's utterly despicable actions with the rape films.

Wendy had already been grieving quietly in her own way over the loss of her newborn baby for the last few months, stolen by Egg along with all the other babies and probably now in some Imperial orphanage. She didn't need this shit on top of that!

The theft of all the very young chaos children was never spoken about, it was a taboo topic, just too painful for all the mothers who lost little ones. They all knew that these children had been sent alive to imperial orphanages and would be cared for, but to have an entire generation stolen like that was still a horrible blow for anyone to endure.

The baby had been named Franklin Sevenson and had been suckling at Wendy's breast when he was suddenly taken in a flash. Wendy had not had the child for very long and had not really bonded properly with him, which was a mercy that kept her grief manageable most of the time.

These last few months had been horrible for everyone. A lot of very bad and painful things had happened, a lot of tears had been shed.

Almost everyone had lost someone who was special to them recently, there was so much terrible pain. It was all TigerLily's doing.

Ever since TigerLily ascended to daemonhood things had been dark and grim. They should have heeded Emm-Hegg-Amon the greater daemon of Slaanesh when she warned them all not to tolerate TigerLily. But it had all been so complicated.

The blasted Steel Brethren had stolen Egg and in the confusion TigerLily had destroyed the physical body of Emm-Hegg-Amon and banished her back to the warp, murdering the high ranking crew member the greater daemon was possessing in the process. They had desperately needed TigerLily to let them track Egg, they had had no choice but to keep her with them at every single stage ever since.

TigerLily was now so completely essential for their continued survival that they couldn't get rid of her. She had the entire warband by the balls and could get away with being as cruel as she liked even to the Chaos Lord himself!

It was checkmate, she had them and they could only go along for the ride as she ran the entire show. The Chaos Lord might hold the title of leader, but in reality it was Daemon Princess TigerLily who ruled them all now.

"Very very good Wendy, you get a gold star", TigerLily's psychic voice smirked in Wendy's mind.

Wendy trembled with fear, this was really bad.

***...

"Prick your finger, it is done, the moon has now eclipsed the sun, the angel has spread her wings, the time has come for better things", TigerLily sang maniacally as the slums of Mia Rho burned all around her.

TigerLily jubilantly used her psychic powers to transform Mia Rho planetary defence force soldiers into gibbering horrors of Tzeentch as wailing slum dwellers fled all around her towards the safety of the warp gate.

The rebellion had failed just as TigerLily had always known it would and now billions of frightened slum class people were fleeing for their lives into the warp gate and their new lives of basically slavery. Of course they didn't know that they were basically slaves the moment they went through that warp gate, but that just made it funnier.

TigerLily laughed insanely as she obliterated imperial soldiers. All mortal armed forces were now evacuating and only TigerLily and the other daemons held the enemy back as the humans fled. TigerLily needed to buy them time so that as many people as possible would be make it through the warp gate.

For hours TigerLily and her daemonic forces kept the slaughter going, using raging fires to keep infantry at bay and blasting apart tanks with daemonic fire of Tzeentch. Over a billion people were pressing desperately to enter the warp gate and it wasn't big enough to let so many through so quickly.

On the other end of the gate the fleet was struggling to find somewhere to put such a lot of people and it was pretty much standing room only until they finished construction of a lot more ships.

TigerLily graciously held the line, driven back only grudgingly as the sheer press of forces gained ground and enemy psykers disrupted some of her attacks. Little by little she was driven back until her back was hard up against the press of frantically fleeing mortals caught in the bottleneck around the gate.

TigerLily smirked and used the indigo fire of Tzeentch to transform huge numbers of the wailing tramps into horrors of Tzeentch before flying overhead above the crowd and flying through the top of the warp gate to get home, leaving the rest to it.

TigerLily waited until imperial soldiers started coming through the gate before she destroyed the gate at her end, cutting off access forever.

TigerLily then addressed the crowd of badly squashed tramps.

"I think it's time that I introduced myself properly. I am TigerLily, the Daemon Princess of the Chaos god Tzeentch, and you are now all utterly damned heretics. Turn from the worship of the false Emperor and embrace the worship of the Chaos god Tzeentch and I will spare your lives, do it not and I will burn you all alive right now." TigerLily announced with sick glee.

The wails of horror were so fantastic that TigerLily just about fainted from sheer blissful satisfaction. Off in the warp Tzeentch laughed a cruel laugh of madness, he found TigerLily's antics hilarious.

***...

Egg Sevenson wretchedly threw herself once more into her psychic training exercises, under orders from the High Lords of Terra themselves. A black ship was already on its way to transport her to Terra to complete her training and she was terribly scared of being all alone and totally uprooted yet again!

With TigerLily on the loose the High Lords of Terra were taking no risks with their new Alpha Plus super weapon. The Imperium did not give a single fuck about Egg's happiness nor her needs, they only cared about her as a weapon. She was to train until the black ship arrived and then she would leave behind Inquisitor Hoffman and Yuki and the Tagawa's and everyone else.

Inquisitor Hoffman had promised to come to Terra to be with her, but even he did not have the authority to defy the High Lords of Terra themselves and could at best visit her occasionally in whatever grim training centre she ended up in.

Egg cried bitter tears, her life had FINALLY had stability and kindness in it. It wasn't fair. This was supposed to be her happily ever after, spending at least the rest of her life before adulthood on this wonderful beautiful planet Beta Kyoto Epsilon with it's wonderful trees and birds, blue seas, yummy foods, welcoming kind people...

Egg clung to Yuki frantically, she didn't want to leave him. She most of all missed her mum Octavia, missed her so much that it made her throat hurt. She missed Augusta and Mandy and Violet and Liling and Patrick. She missed so many of her extended family members, missed people she had been around her whole life.

Egg prayed feverishly to the Emperor in wretchedness, so deeply afraid about the future. She had heard so many terrible things about the planet Earth or Terra as it was called. It was a filthy stinking radioactive hive world where the very air was like a toxic fume and where the most powerful and terrible despots in the entire universe gathered.

It was a place of terrible cruelty where everyone was strict and cheerless and where there was no joy to be found anywhere. A place of insane rituals and terrible poverty stricken slums, the place where the worst of the worst in the Imperium of man gathered together.

Egg wailed in lament, once again TigerLily had ruined her life!
