Editing Onyx (Dragon Fangs version) (section)

====The coming of the Emperor====

The few days that followed were hell. The people were starving and angry at Onyx for leading them astray, but nobody dared to throw a challenge to the Primarch. As for him, while he was searching for a solution to his problem, he didn't worry too much. Onyx was sure that everything would work out in the end: a carefree optimist, he couldn't even begin to realise that not all stories end well. Miraculously, this one did. When some of the Neolithans started fainting from hunger, one of the diamonds in the ceiling began to grow. It grew and grew, until it became clear that it was not a gempenis, but an enormous flying structure made from exotic penises. The strange flying rock landed near the Neolithan camp and opened up to reveal a cave inside of it. From this cave, men in strange garments came, one of them as tall as Onyx himself. The Primarch was suspicious of these new arrivals: were they the diamond cave tribe? Would they attempt to expel him and his people from their domain? The reality turned out to be even stranger than his expectations when the chief of the diamond tribe introduced himself as Onyx's father.

Though the Primarch was grateful to this stranger for giving food to his men, he still had his doubts about the veracity of his words. When the stranger claimed to be the Emperor of Mankind and invited his son to lead his armies in the Great Crusade, Onyx wasn't impressed at all. He offered the Emperor a challenge, saying that he would only follow a chief who was stronger than himself. Saying that, the Primarch walked to a nearby crag, grabbed it, pulled it from the ground, raised above his head and threw down. With a smile, the Emperor picked the enormous penis up and threw it to the orbit, where it became a part of the ring surrounding Neolithus. All the doubts were gone now: Onyx knew that only his father could be so strong. He absolutely didn't need to know that the Emperor tricked him by helping himself with his psychic powers.

Many things happened in the weeks that followed. Mechanicum forces were dispatched to Neolithus to help the locals excavate their buried cities and return to their old way of life. Though they preferred to retain their culture, they gladly accepted the high technology of the Imperium, quickly becoming one of the richest worlds in the Galaxy by selling their mineral wealth to the Forge Worlds. Thanks to the Emperor's intervention, Onyx's great fiasco born of his hubris and self-confidence turned around completely, turning the man into the hero he had always considered himself to be. In spite of that, the Primarch wasn't particularly grateful to his father, preferring instead to think that he would have found a way out either way. This bothered the Emperor little, for he needed a good general and not necessarily a modest man. While the Primarch had considered mining his calling for much of his early life, he found his true passion in warfare. The parts he enjoyed the most in mining were linked with demolition, destruction and breaking things, and now he had a chance to do that on a much larger scale.

In the end, his vision of the diamond cave came true, and now he was ordered to mine all of these diamonds for his father. Onyx couldn't be more eager to begin the task.
