=== Dreams And Deceit ===

A city of complete darkness, murder, rape torutre, any atrocity was but a normal day for this place. Then another world, so vile but not worse as the first world, but violence was a constant. Another world she saw was pure toxic, tained by vile sorcery that raised the dead. Every world all so uniquely abysmal continued to be in 5552’s mind over and over. She felt the pain and confusion, who she didn’t know.

It gnawed at her, crying to be saved. Her children, all of them all confused and afraid. They needed their mother, they needed- 5552 shot up from her bed, heart pounding and her heard heated up as if it was going to explode. It was that dream again.

5552 stepped toward the veranda, watching the continuous construction of the Imperial palace. Wherever Erda was, she could rot in the deepest pit of ravine. The custodians accompanied her as she wandered the imperial palace. The outside of the palace was lit by the moonlight, where the custodians roamed the halls. She entered Malcador’s chamber.

“Empress, what brings you this late into the night?”

“I’ve meaning to ask, does dreams have relation with the warp?”

“It is possible. Be more specific.” Malcador said.

5552 nodded and sat on Malcador’s chair, she clutched her hair as she tried to remember it again.

“I see places… planets. All equally horrifying to be in. I can feel someone is suffering there.” 5552 said. “I also heard voices in my dreams before. Calling out to me. The dreams got more intense so I hoped you have an answer.”

“But you saw no one?”

“Not a soul.”

“Then I’m afraid I can’t help you, my Empress.”

“Of course, I was just hoping you’ll know something.”

The door clacked with a clear mechanical thud. As Malcador entered The Emperor beckoned him to come closer.

“What is it my friend?”

“My Emperor. I believe there is a way to find the primarchs.” Malcador said. “It seems that our Empress has a psychic connection with them.”

“But Magnus has yet to contact her?” The Emperor said.

“As I said before, her abilities are rather small. A giant cannot easily spot a needle.” Malcador said. “Does Magnus know?”

“Not yet it seems. But he does remember her.” The Emperor said. “But if she has connections to my sons. It is possible that we can use her to expedite the search with Magnus.”

“I believe that as well, but I sense that you are wary of that idea. Do you not trust her or do you believe she will manipulate the primarchs like Erda wanted?”

“I do not want her to become a target to the warp.”

Malcador paused.

“But she can bring us the primarchs. You brought her because you knew she would be the instrument to orchestrating the primarchs.”

“I am aware.” The Emperor said. “If she is harmed, there is the risk that my sons will blame me for her injuries. Continue speaking to her and look for my sons without having her finding out.”

“What of Magnus?” Malcador said.

“He will know when the time is right.”
