The Awakening of Planet Ti'Anxia
Arlmond Gertlend was awoken by the bitter taste of earth and blood. It wasn’t the first time it he had experienced it, the last such instance involved a pissed off crew and enough alcohol that even the Emperor himself would wake up next to some hiveworld whore with questionable personal hygiene standards. This time it was different.
Rolling to his side, Arlmond held his cracked ribs and let out a string of profanity that would likely cause an inquisitorial investigation if he was in the company of more honourable men. Thankfully he was not.
The cloud of sand that filled the cave began to settle and Arlmond wiped away the blood and dust from his eyes with a torn cloth he found to his side. It was only after his vision returned he realised that the cloth he had used was worn by a miner just a few moments ago and still had some remnants from its previous owner attached.
He fought back the urge to vomit but failed. Then came the buzzing, his hearing was returning along with a headache that could kill a caveworm or two. It didn’t matter. Arlmond’s eyes were drawn to something in the distance. Just past the fallen debris, past the team of men trying to pull out a man whose legs had become trapped under a very big rock. A fantastic green glow emitted from a symbol of unknown origin.
“What in the Emperors name?” wheezed Arlmond, as a droplet of blood dripped into his wide open mouth.
As he collapsed, again, the taste of blood and earth in his mouth remained…A torrent of twisted mechanical beings arose from the ground, each followed by a hundred of the same. Ti’Anxia itself came alive with a million mechanical tendrils reaching out for destruction. A consistent hum was emitting from deep within the core of the planet. If the sight of an untold number of ancient evils, a mix of machine, torn-flesh and incomprehensible technology, marching forth would not cause a man to lose his mental capacity, the sound that pierced even the thickest armour surely would. It scratched and it scraped at the inside of man’s soul. It ripped apart every barrier until it was inside the deepest corridor of any man, the part that gave him his greatest weakness - mortality. No man was immune. Not even the mighty Space Marines whose abundance of loyalty and honour could do little to save them now.
“Foolish mortals, we are older than time itself.” A voice hissed, “Your immaturity and pride has led you once more into the chasm of destruction. We are without equal… We are without number…” , As the voice dimmed down,the tortured screams of a thousand men echoed across the planet inside every man’s conscience.
