alas it seems that with Dorn's aura or presence it terminated his fear and self-doubt to which for once in awhile he gave some orders to some other guardsman ..
it wasn't long until he started to leave with a group
to prepare .
- taking said data slate , klose saluted the primarch .
❝ Understood my lord , we won't take long . ❞
he said nodding his head , turning to his troops
to which the sergeant wouldn't waste any-time .
— anticipating a foe that’s yet to arrive.
“I cannot send Astartes forces as humans respond better to another human. If anything should go wrong before? Turn back. This is not a task worth dying for. The Emperor Protects.”
with a simple exhale , did the guardsman
fix his posture and stood at attention ..
his cowardly nature quelled for once .
❝ So- my lord , what do you require of me .ᐣ ❞
“So the story goes. Like my Brother, the Lord Regent, I’ve returned. We, the Emperor’s sons, shall not leave humanity in this dark age.”
His tone was the usual stone cold tone that most were met with. But, it had an underlying tone of care.
❝ T-they said you were gon-gone . ❞
He said looking up at the Primarch , bowing his head afterwards , he could never look at the Space Marines directly ..
“Be at ease, Guardsman. Trust when I say I mean you no harm.”
Of course there was plenty to be frightened of. He’s Rogal Dorn. Primarch of the VII. Praetorian of Terra. Son of The Emperor of Mankind.
Regardless of this unique individual’s character, the reaction is justified.
@IvenRannick ❝ Bloody heretics keep
making mistakes — been trying to
quietly see if I can get anything useful .
Of course with your ahem .. permission sir . ❞
@LadyHesperax He didn't know what was going on
but something told him to hide
hide and stay out of sight ...
alas the compact closet was .. very small yet
he forced himself inside .. hurting his ankles .
With the rumours spreading of guardsmen somehow going missing at night that might just be the safest course of action..
But then again..
It may only be a brief delay of the inevitable.
@LadyHesperax Hearing the screams
the swinging of blades
the guardsman wanted to run
to hide somewhere else and cry but
he remained inside his closet .. shaking
trembling and somewhat praying ..
