It was a massive field that had been the blast site of a Gargant. Such a massive thing had blown clear massive amounts of land and it quickly became the optimal location for a massive congregation.
The recently filled crater sported about two sides of the same coin. One side was the residence of Lucius whose capital city orderly emptied itself for all who were interested at the arrival of one known as the Omnissiah. As for the reason why so many were now curious of the people who they previously never believed in, the Martians had released several data packages talking of such divinity. Many found it hard to believe that the Priests of Mars had grown insane.
Thus everyone took part in the Pilgrimage.
These Tech Priests were surrounded by all manners of soldiery. Ranging from barely augmented Skitarii to Acillians, Knights, and even two Titans in case the Priests of Lucius came under threat from the one named Omnissiah.
At the otherside of the Priests were the Luna Wolves and their Primarch. The presence of such a powerful man was only dimmed by the Blackstone Fortress that still laid presence within the sky above them all. Otherwise his legion of white armored warriors were too numerous to properly count without equipment or a tamed mind. Next to them were likely other ‘Legions’ that were present on the exhibition to the Grail Sector.
As for TalOS and the rest of the High Court, they stood near the center of the filled crater. Horus Lupercal stood at the other side of them shining his diplomat’s smile with pure confidence in what was about to happen. Whatever it was TalOS did not know but the Arch Dominus calculated this was the reason his brother was so defensive about certain issues.
He was betting on their creator to set whatever was wrong right. If the rumors that TalOS heard of the Imperial Truth were correct then he truly wondered.
Against the Blackstone Fortress, as if epitomizing such an accomplishment, a golden ship descended from the sky towards the ground below. Even from here TalOS could tell the features of such an elegant ship that dwarfed anything that he had witnessed for so many years upon Lucius. It was a masterpiece in all but name. Such an object landed before TalOS only for the Tech Priests of Lucius to take in such a masterpiece more.
A singular ramp buckled and opened to allow the spilling of dozens of golden troops onto the field. Each and every one of them is a perfect specimen of human creation and ingenuity that TalOS could create an entirely new generation of Acillians from.
After them <span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">HE</span></span> came.
