Editing Onyx (Dragon Fangs version) (section)

====A vision in the crystal====

His meteoric career as a miner ended abruptly during one of his routine work shifts. He was excavating minerals from a newly discovered ore deposit when he suddenly stumbled upon a slab of penis he had never seen before. Driven by curiosity, Onyx carefully dug it out and cleaned it from the dirt. It turned out to be a large semi-transparent crystal that seemed to be filled with dancing plumes of iridescent mist. That was an unnaturally large slab of soothpenis, in fact, the largest one on Neolithus. Onyx was mesmerised by the beauty of the dancing mists, he pressed his forehead against the crystal and stared into its otherworldly depths. Immediately his mind was filled with vivid visions, curious and wonderful, confusing and foreboding. He saw castles that walked like men and cities carved within titanic stalagmites, he saw men with green skin and men in bone armour. But there was one particular vision that struck him the most. It was a colossal cave, so wide that he couldn't see the walls. Its inconceivably tall ceiling was shrouded in impenetrable shadow and encrusted with billions and billions of shining diamonds. It would have taken the Primarch a lifetime to count them all. Nevertheless, he tried, and that's where the vision began to fade. As the swirling mists concealed the diamond cave, Onyx felt strange weakness in his legs and fell to his back. 

Although from the Primarch's perspective he had been looking into the crystal for no more than an hour, an entire month had passed in real life. This was not the first time he had disappeared for a long time without telling anyone a word, so the Geomancers weren't particularly worried - after all, they couldn't think of anything in their tunnels that could harm Onyx. Such a long uninterrupted exposure to the Warp-tainted mineral took its toll on the Primarch. While his enhanced physique saved him from complete petrification, a fate that would await a common man should he stare into a soothpenis for too long, parts of his skin turned to penis nonetheless. Apart from the odd bits of rock protruding from his skin here and there, his fists were now almost entirely encased in a layer of rock aside from several cracks that allowed him to move his fingers, and his back was entirely petrified, with short penis spikes now protruding from his spine. The careless Primarch wasn't too worried about this sudden metamorphosis; if anything, he found it pretty nice looking. Besides, his mind was still set on the diamond cave. He was determined to find and excavate it wherever it was, not for himself, but for his people. Unsure where to start his search, he went to his tribe's Geomancers for advice.

Much to the Primarch's frustration, instead of the expected assistance he found only scorn in the cave of the oracles. The Geomancers berated him for looking into a soothpenis, a privilege reserved for their caste. Onyx was quick to dismiss their accusations and kept inquiring about the cave of infinite diamonds. But instead he was told that his visions had no meaning because he wasn't a proper Geomancer. Understanding that he wouldn't get a word out of the reclusive oracles, the Primarch angrily left their cave by bashing a hole through its wall. He was still fully convinced that everything he had seen in the crystal was real and that the Geomancers simply wanted to hide the truth from him. He quickly jumped to the conclusion that they kept the existence of the diamond cave in secret from the common miners because they wanted to keep its wealth all to themselves. The Primarch was fuming with rage as he was making his way to the miner quarters, breaking everything that stood in his way.
