Orikan hated the state that he was devolved to now. Cowering in fear of some tyrant worshiping creature who was just grasping at the rules of reality. But he also knew that if whatever this creature thinks is true, then Orikan’s dream of becoming a being of pure energy would be all for not.
To add to it that this Orikan had a slight realization when he spoke the name of the Void Dragon. Orikan had been seeing all futures for some time now and should have <span class="mu-i">known</span> that this Primarch was going to interrupt his contemplations. If he had a C’Tan actively pushing his efforts and if what he said of the C’Tan becoming something more godly than the being it was before…
Orikan’s core shuttered.
“I ask you to teach me your ways.” The Primarch said as he placed forward his demand, “Teach me the true laws of the Universe so that I may have the strength to push against the tide of unreality.”
To that Orikan laughed. It was no false engram like his fellow Necrons always did for themselves or mimicries of a long dead past that some wished to mimic. He truly found such a demand to have the same humor as Trazyn the Infinite steeping his hands in beastial guts and arteries looking for some trinket.
“Do you think you can even comprehend the knowledge that I have?” Orikan challenged the man with a viper’s bite, “What I know is from what was several million years worth of research and knowledge gathering about the truth of the Cosmos. I, Orikan the Diviner, has gone from being able to perceive the trickery of the Gods to being able to measure entire epochs.”
To these words he began walking towards the Primarch. He could feel his reactor’s warmth growing as a mimicry of excitement within the still living gut. It felt as though he never left the fleshtimes and was a living scholar looking at a wide eye pupil.
“You will find me an avid learner, Orikan. And this is not a one way deal for I have gained secrets of the immaterium that would give you insights into the immaterial realm.” There was an arrogance in those words, but was he speaking the truth?
“I will be the judge of that!” Orikan declared as he began walking away, “Come now, we are burning time standing here. The sooner we are within time chambers the more we can stretch these forty years of yours.”
