With those words the event came to an end with everyone upon the plaza trying to find their way off of the mountain. The purpose of the Primarch’s last words were clear in that the tenth legion is soon to start making war. To delay such an event would betray the very character of their Primarch.
“Come, our presence is no longer needed here.” Declared Malcador as he began walking towards the path that TalOS took just a little bit ago.
“I will be a moment behind.” TalOS announced as he caught a glance of his brother now descending the marble tower and soon to arrive upon the floor with everyone else, “I need to make an introduction.”
TalOS did not wait for Malcador to give a word of authorization or something similar, for after all the Primarch was here to support his brother.
The advance of TalOS and his Steel Wardens were quickly noticed from the numerous Astartes who had covered the battlefield. Each of them trying to figure out what exactly TalOS was as he got closer and closer to his brother. The two Astartes who were at his side as well as the numerous Company Captains who were coming up to meet their Primarch seemed deeply confused by the presence of TalOS.
TalOS could not blame them. TalOS was not like his brothers in that they knew instinctively that he was a Primarch. But the Steel Wardens who flanked him gave many of those more wise hints as to his identity, but many others seemed ready to block his advance.
It was Ferrus Manus though that noticed his advance sooner than any other. This chemical burnt skin looking at TalOS with a firm inspection that was given to his own Legion. A moment later the Primarch broke through the line of Captains that had formed up and made his own walk towards his brother.
The two were face to face at that moment, looking at each other. So close they were that TalOS could start to identify the numerous bruises and scratches that were borne, many of them TalOS quickly identifying to have come from Sulphuric Acid and burns from an ever hot planet. A life that before his discovery was spent trying its damndest to survive upon a deathworld that wished for his death at every second.
In that moment TalOS wondered what Ferrus Manus saw him as? Did he see him as the one who was raised away from the terrors of Old Night, or a creature that was barely even human? TalOS was no fool as he knew many mortal men would be frightened at what he was.
It did not matter as TalOS raised his hand towards him, “It is a pleasure to finally meet you, Primarch Ferrus Manus. I am Arch Dominus TalOS DAV1S of Forge World Lucius, and your brother.”
