Editing Zardu Layak (section)

==The Horus Heresy==

By the beginning of the Horus Heresy, Zardu Layak had become a Dark Apostle in command of the Unspeaking, his own appointed chapter of [[Possessed Marines|possessed]] Word Bearers. His first major move during the Heresy was the leading assault in the invasion of [[Ultramar|Calth]]. After that, he temporarily replaced both [[Argel Tal]] and [[Erebus|the prick who looks like a freshly circumsised dick]] as Lorgar's best buddy during the later stages of the Heresy. This didn't last for long, however, once Horus began preparing for the [[Siege of Terra]]. You see, by the time Horus destroyed the outer defenses of Terra, Lorgar had concluded that Horus was too weak and inept to destroy the Emperor and the Imperium (guess he was right all along), so he began plotting to kill Horus and replace him as the new leader of the Traitor Legions. To do that, he needed more firepower and another legion by his side, so began searching for [[Fulgrim]] (because that lazy cunt did nothing to aid his brothers anyway). Lorgar and Layak led a small force of Word Bearers through the Webway to find him. They somehow successfully entered the Palace of Slaanesh itself. There they found a fully daemonic Fulgrim and the daemon [[N'Kari]] ''engaging each other in'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k&ab_channel=VillagePeople ''debauchery'']. Fulgrim, obviously, refused to help because he was having too much fun and told them to piss off. His Slaaneshi smugness lasted as long as it took for Layak to utter his true name and force him to bend to Lorgar's will. After sacrificing a huge number of mortals, Lorgar planned to unleash a loud psychic scream that would disorient Horus, then have Layak order Fulgrim to kill Horus while he was incapacitated. After that, the Word Bearers and Emperor's Children would destroy the leftovers of the Sons of Horus Legion, giving Lorgar full control of the Traitors' uprising.
