“The creature gloated at me and talked to me, knowing far more than what I could have known. It was intelligent, likely more intelligent than I am. It spoke of my Creator, and his numerous sons being thrown across the stars. I knew at that moment both it and those creatures that tried to eat me were the same thing.” TalOS answered.
Malcador gave a nod as he finally spoke, “And that is the reason both I and the Emperor keep their natures secret.”
“That they used my own knowledge against me?”
The old man gave a grave nod, “If one is completely ignorant of them they cannot talk to them. Knowledge is the key they have to reach into the mind of a man to poison him. I have seen thousands of men and women take the reality of Warp Creatures differently. Some think like you do, that they are the enemy of their god. Another group thinks of them as a collection of mankind’s thoughts. Both see them and recognize them, and are thus always tested.”
“That the Daemons will attempt to make a Deal.” TalOS said as he spoke a moment in his experience.
“Yes, that is the primary way they become stronger. Claiming the souls of man to grow stronger. A Deal is the quickest way as they mark their prey with their brand which is emblazoned upon their soul.” Malcador spoke as he looked back to TalOS’s eyes, “It seems that because of a suggestion of mine you were subject to knowledge that led you down this path. For that, I am deeply sorry.”
“It…” TalOS felt a moment’s pain in his voice, “It is forgiven. While that is part of my path, I am happy to be walking this road.”
“I see.” Malcador said as he looked upon TalOS for another moment, “Then, in what aspect of their actions makes you believe that the Changer of Ways is a God?”
>For it is worshiped.
>The sheer power and magnitude of its existence.
>Like the Machine God, it can touch and change reality as it sees fit.
>Its ability to choose a person or people.
>Write in.
Cool this I had an entire day and now more to think this entire conversation through. Now that I am doing it, its a little easier than I thought.
