Of Brothers and Sisters (Kirlov/Missy)

[Kirlov]

He blanked and then warning flags went up in his mind. But they were ignored. Her lips were so soft... Like silk yet softer... And warm. He didn't resist. He couldn't. It was like fighting fate. He took over the use of his hands holding her close to him. She was warm from the sun and her body was far more supple and firm than he could have imagined. Mentally he cursed the bulk of his armor. Yet... His mind drifted for a moment. Bliss blotted out the world, obscuring a lifetime of war. This was a time to enjoy.

A few hour's later

Odessa opened her eyes again...She had dreamed a dream that she never wanted to dream again...She felt so ugly and disgusting and low sum as she sat up..She most have fallen asleep by the fire...But she couldn’t see Sergei anywhere
''He most have taken over the guard duty...'' She went over to her food back and took a bit of bread as one of the storm-troopers got out form his tent
''Good morning madam'' He sounded rather rested unlike Odessa who just wanted to take a shower
''Morning guardsmen. I suggest we make our self’s ready to move with in the hour...Just gotta wait for the Space marine'' She shared a bit of bread with him as they sat down by the smoldering fireplace
''Well I and Private are ready to go... Madam...Can you lead us in a prayer to the emperor this morning?'' Odessa looked at him somewhat surprised but she nodded
''When Ser...I mean when my brother marine returns.'' When you couldn’t shower a good prayer would do just as well. The storm-trooper nodded and watched rather strangely as she ripped in to her bread piece
''Do you always eat like that?'' She looked at him rather strangely
''What do you know mean?''
''Nothing madam..I was just thinking out aloud'' She gave him a smile
''Don’t do that when we get our vox back ey?'' He laugh’s at the joke and nods as they both sit and talk for a spell vile they wait for Sergei to come

[Kirlov]

When morning came it found Sergei perched on a rock. He was silent as he sat there. Figuring the others were awake he walked back to camp. As he approached he nodded silently to the sister before seating himself near the troopers. He declined the bread they offered, with a shake of his helmeted head and a raised hand. He stayed quiet and stared at the cold embers. He felt ashamed of last night and didn't want to speak.

“Sergeant we were about to begin a prayer. Would you please join us?” The younger trooper looked at him in awe. Sergei nodded before bowing his head so that it rested between his knees. Under his breath he whispered his own prayer.

[Missy]

Odessa stoop up and looked at her 3 companions and started reading from her armor

''A spiritu dominatus,

Domine, libra nos,

From the lighting and the tempest,

Our Emperor, deliver us.

From plague, temptation and war,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

From the scourge of the Kraken,

Our Emperor, deliver us.


From the blasphemy of the Fallen,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

From the begetting of daemons,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

From the curse of the mutant,

Our Emperor, deliver us,

A morte perpetua,

Domine, libra nos.

That thou wouldst bring them only death,

That thou shouldst spare none,

That thou shouldst pardon none

We beseech the, destroy them''....She ended with going to each of them and laying her hand on there shoulders
''Our all father is always with us...Now if thy have sinned thy can pray for his forgiveness now...in silence'' She lets her head down as she begs for forgiveness for her past life as she always does...Her crimes are her soul flesh and blood...And redemption was all she had left

[Kirlov]

He listened to her prayer but for the most part ignored it. It wasn't the kind of prayer taught by the chaplains. After Odessa made her rounds Sergei stood up. He decided to add his words to the morning air and have them know what his prayers were. Drawing his sword he held it before him before beginning to recite his chapter's creed.

“We are the will of the Emperor. His burning wrath is ours. Fire may pour from our fingers yet we remain unburned. Lightning may burst forth from our eyes yet we stand unhurt. The earth may tremble and the rock may split yet we shall not yield. In this burning inferno we stand defiantly in the face our enemies. The foes of the Emperor shall fall before us; for we know no fear. Their fortresses shall fall and their strongholds crumble before our fury. We are the angels of death. We are the Burning fists of the Emperor's holy wrath.”

His words complete he touched his blade to his helmet before returning it to it's sheath. He looked at each of the guardsmen in turn. With luck he had given them purpose now. They were already going with them but now maybe they understood better how important this all was. But they would not know the full truth until far later. As they started walking Sergei sidled up to the older guardsman. “So how is that you come to be out here all alone?”

The man looked at the giant striding beside him. He thought for a moment before responding. “Our unit was conducting a patrol through the wastes looking for any cultists that may have escaped the main force. We got a panicked call on the vox but couldn't understand anything, it was all screaming and gunfire. A few days later we were ambushed by a force of cultists. They killed everyone but me and the boy there. We've been wandering around since.”

Sergei nodded before moving towards the head of their little group. It would be easier to get to grips with an enemy if his allies were behind him.

[Missy]

Odessa stated the obvious as Sergei was done with his prayer.
''Lets move'' She took her food bag and flung it over her shoulder like a backpack and took her bolter. Making sure everything was with her.
The hole group was ready in about 10 min and they started moving towards the space port. As they started moving she asked Sergei.
''What happened last night...Last thing i remember i asked you to share my frist hour with me...'' She looked rather pail in her face...Kinda like a porcelain doll....

[Kirlov]

Sergei looked at her quietly. She was beautiful just he remembered when he first saw her after finding their armor. Sergei remembered last night. As much as he wished to enjoy the memory he couldn't, because that hadn't been the Odessa he knew. He looked at her again before answering. “I... You blacked out about an hour after we began the watch. You... An'ubak decided to visit... I'd rather not talk about it. Maybe if you ask her she would tell you.”

Saddened by the memory he looked away. He knew the demon would tease Odessa. Most likely even lie and say they went the whole way. He let out a sigh before continuing to walk. He looked back at the stormtroopers behind them. “Hurry up boys. This isn't some picnic outing. The farther we travel today the better. You work hard and we'll stop before it gets dark. Mess around and we'll keep walking till its too dark to see.”

[Missy]

An'ubak? Odessa looked confused
''You mean...I...Came to visit my self?'' She just found that notion silly and took it as a joke
''You just saw me fell asleep and needed to give me a more heroic reasion right?'' She made it in a joking tone as the stormtroopers finally cached up with them she joined Sergei in barking at them
''Best trained soldiers in the imperium? I have seen militia that can keep up with space marines!'' One of the troopers responded
''Well they ain’t lumping this gear!'' She gave them a smile to incite that she wasn’t being serous

[Kirlov]

“No. It... Okay. Maybe it wasn't An'ubak but who or what ever it was called itself that. The closest I've seen to that is demonic possession. Focus on your past and ask the question maybe she will hear you and answer. Either that or last night will have to remain a secret. I would prefer not to talk about those events.” Sergei did his best to explain it. She didn't believe him. That was good and bad. Good because she definitely wasn't trying to play a joke. The bad thing was, that she possibly was half demon. Last night had been too close for comfort. Far, far too close.

To distract himself from those thoughts Sergei turned around too look at the troopers. He began walking backwards so he cold see them better. “Would you boys rather carry my stuff and I can carry yours. Trust me my gear is many times heavier than yours."

The troopers looked at him with scared eyes before shaking their heads. Sergei nodded at them before returning to walking normal.

(Last post for now. I'll be back in a few hours. Going to try to take a quick nap.)

[Missy]

Odessa just shruged. Sure she had the taint in her body but possessions was something that never happened before. However that was a mater for later. A few hours in to wandering they saw the space port in question..However was clear they weren’t alone. One of the Stormtroopers looked in a binocular before handing it to Odessa

''Chaos madam...They are entering the space port..'' Odessa nodded. Chaos ships with red marks like the one they have seen where coming in...And around it where camps and vehicles..They where fortifying the space port... She hands the Binocular to Sergei before turning to the storm-trooper
''What color was on the mans armor who killed your communications officer?'' The guardsmen thought for a vile before answering
''Red...It also had scriptures rolls on its armor...Kinda like.. She hushed him before he was able to finish his sentence
''Word bearers....''

Most sisters hated the Alpha legion for its infiltration and cult building...But she hated the word bearers...Spreeing dark where it could be light and deceiving and fooling the people of the imperium. They where the biggest enemy of the sisterhood...
