Dayen (screaming): ‘No! Nooo! NOOOOO! Arhagahahahah…’

FX - WALKING FOOTSTEPS

Dayen’s spirit, already pulled and torn, when the kill team arrived on Kher-Ys, was finally broken. Her body language told its own tale - shoulders slumped, feet dragging. When the tunnel eventually terminated in a flight of steep stairs, she broke her silence.

Dayen: ‘We are here.’

Balthasar ascended the steps to be confronted by a set of double doors very wide enough for the Space Marine to pass through. Once crafted from immaculate wraithbone, the ivory portal had evolved into withered black flesh, its surface glistening with foul moisture. Balthasar pushed at the doors with his bolter and they parted easily to reveal more darkness beyond.

Balthasar (after a pause): ‘Clear!’

Korrika and Kuth followed the Dark Angel to the top of the stairs. Shriver motioned for Dayen to follow, but the Eldar stood firm. The Inquisitor raised her plasma pistol by way of persuasion, but before she could react, Dayen had gripped the barrel and placed the gun to her forehead. An eye blink later the three Space Marines’ weapons were trained on the sole survivor of Kher-Ys.

Dayen: ‘Our bargain, Inquisitor, honor it.’

Shriver hesitate wieghing up her options. Her decision made, she attempted to lower the pistol.

Shriver: ‘Until I know that you have led us to the right place, you shall remain alive.’

Dayen gripped the weapon tighter pushing the muzzle harder against her forehead.

Dayen: ‘I do not wish to face what awaits us beyond the threshold.’

Korrika: ‘What do you mean? What awaits us on the other side?’

Dayen ignored the Doom Eagle.

Dayen: ‘Please, kill me!’

Faster when even the Eldar’s reflexes could respond to it Shriver kicked Dayen hard in the stomach. The xenos dropped to her knees gasping for breath.
