Chapter 4: Of the Blood

Sanguinius was alive. How, this had happened he had no idea. He remembered fighting the man he once called brother, Horus Lupercal the Arch-traitor. His last memory was Horus laughing as he strangled him. Sanguinius still shocked and some would say fearful. Not even the Angel of Blood himself could quite comprehend being strangled by his former friend.

Had the Emperor fallen to his favored son? Did Horus succeed in bringing ruin to the Imperium? One thing was certain to the Angel, he had failed to defend the Imperium.

He awoke in a forest with 3 of his brothers. Rogal Dorn, who he fought with during the siege of Terra. Vulkan, who Sanguinius thought dead after Istvaan V. Finally, his brother Magnus the Red, traitor of Prospero stood observing the local populace.

"Sanguinius I know you can hear me." Magnus's voice rang out in his head

"I have nothing to say to you traitor." Sanguinius responded

"That's why I'm speaking to you. I have no knowledge of why you call me traitor. The last thing I remember was myself meditating on Prospero, attempting to contact father."

"Why should I trust you. Your actions led to a full scale Daemonic invasion of the palace! 9 of our brothers turned traitor after you fought Russ upon Prospero! Ferrus Mannus was slain by Fulgrim upon Istvaan! I fell to Horus himself while defending Terra!"

"You are a fool to blame me for these events Sanguinius. I was trying to warn father about Horus before I woke in this forest. Should you speak true, and I really did betray Father, then I am sorry. However, I am not the Magnus you should seek vengeance against"

"I still do not trust you Magnus."

"I am aware," Magnus was speaking out loud now, "Prepare yourselves brothers, you must learn the language of this world."


A/N: A short chapter to clear up some confusion I saw in one of my reviews. To explain, the Primarchs were displaced into the world of Percy Jackson at different times. Magnus was displaced when he tried to contact the Emperor (Therefore he has no knowledge of the burning of Prospero, nor has he turned traitor.). While Sanguinius was displaced after being killed by Horus during the heresy. Don't worry another chapter will (probably) come later today.
