Emperor

Mercy

The killing blow was forthcoming, my sword prepared to cleave her in twain. Her terror was almost palpable. But it was a clean terror. It was not terror of death that went through her mind. It was fear for her subjects. She knew that if I were to kill her nothing would stop me from ending the lives of those that survived behind her. Normally, that would not have changed my mind, were it not for another realization. I realized that her mind was human. Not human like, mind you. Human, exactly the same. Why was a human mind trapped in an Equine body? I sheathed my sword.

The Xenos blinked. Fear was still radiating from her mind, but it was now mixed in with a quizzical curiosity. As I strode passed her towards the six survivors, she tried to block me, now fearing that her hopes were for naught. I pushed her aside with my mind. The purple one was now fixing me with a pain filled glare. I estimated that there were two more minutes of life for her. A mere two minutes. Although with what I was planning to do, she would have a whole life time ahead of her. However long that was.

I reached out with my mind, the warp flooding through me. Its first action was to try and destroy my mind, hatred, rage, lust, scheming, all flooded through me in equal measure. I fought back with my mind, and the power flowed through. I was briefly aware that I was flaring with golden light, and that the white Xenos was shouting in alarm. I saw the town flooding with light. I imagined the Xenos alive. I believed. Ironically, faith will allow a man to do anything. I had faith. The question that must always be posed is: faith in what?

Did it matter? The results were the same. Where there was once a desolate once village full of corpses, there was now a populated town, staring at me in fear. The only sign of the death that occurred was the charred ground where the Neverborn had ended its days, and the blood that still covered every surface. The six were healed and now looked around, puzzled. The blue one shouted in her mind that I needed my face bucked in. The purple one was more rationally minded. She asked herself almost immediately the cause of my sudden mercy. The white one with both wings and horn was relieved and amazed in equal measure. I was certain that she was gaping.

I was once again struck by the sheer humanity of it all. Xenos have minds that are completely different from mankind’s. That is why mankind is supreme. It is not just the body, it is the spirit. The Eldar, therefore, although almost human in appearance are not equal to man. They possess not the mind. These Equines possessed the mind. It was eerie. Never before had I seen such a thing.

Swallowing my thoughts, I turned to walk out of the village. I sensed the blue one charging towards me. I spun with such rapidity that the Xenos barely had time to flinch. One did not need to be a Psyker to see that she expected to die again. I merely held out my index finger in a warning gesture. The Xenos sank to the ground. I turned and continued my exodus.

How was I to return to the Imperium? It was necessary that I return to my people. The government was not fully established when Horus had rebelled, and it was fully susceptible to corruption and religious infiltration. It was imperative that I returned. Without me, Mankind would only last another ten thousand years. That was unacceptable.

However, the fact of the matter was, I was in another world. Even the warp felt slightly different here. Cleaner, even. Perhaps it wasn’t the warp that was different here, but merely the way it expressed itself. That was a thought worth investigating. Perhaps if I could find a way to enter the warp-

“Why?” The White Xenos ruler asked.

I paused.

“Why show mercy?”

“We are more alike than you think, Xenos.”

She paused, this time.

Then she said something that took me by surprise, “Have you a place to stay?”

Author's Note:

I realize that this chapter isn't much good. There will be improvement as I get back into it.

Slava HaS!!!

I really really wish that you would focus more on this story. It is soooo good!

[dominatusimperator]

My stories are a bit rushed, so they are often grammatically incorrect. I would appreciate it if you, my loyal readers, would point out any errors to me.

Thank You,

YAY!! UPDATE!!!

Did He just have faith in Himself to bring them back to life?

Is that a thing?

I wonder if Jesus ever did that?

"In the name of Me, rise from the grave!!!"

[Everwinter]

Hmm slightly disappointing. Also heresy. Hope this gets updated more frequently in future.

[Rx925]

This was awesome. Please, continue to make more of this!
I know that this was a very short and rushed chapter, but its substance was very good.

4918832 HERESY!? WHERE!? I'LL TEAR IT A NEW ASSHOLE!

[revan1801]

4918801 in the 40 Millennium there are only the emperor for Jesus is for pussies along with all the other deities ( if i offended in any way then I'm greatly sorry)

[Vindicare]

Heresy.

[dominatusimperator]

4919233 WHERE?

[Jarimor]

interesting take on this.
....
AND BY THE PRIMARCHS, WHEN HE MEETS DISCORD.....

[Loyalist]

4919197 No offense taken dude! I mean, according to the fluff the Emps is Jesus anyway so whatever. I just thought it was funny for a God to have faith in himself lol

[revan1801]

4919822 well the emperor did hate religion and forbid worshipping him as a god. when he finally wakes up he will personally beat the ecclesiarchy in the face and then disband them.

[Smurf]

just to be clear the Emp brought all the ponies back to life yes? Lyre is back with the living and has her legs, and that pony he pimp smacked in the first chapter still has her head etc

[Loyalist]

4921367 Yeah, but he only did that to hide knowledge of Chaos. Now that everyone knows about it, and now that they have been universally worshiping him for 10,000 years, he may not bother to tell people to stop. It's the only thing that's kept everyone unified and the imperium alive after all.

Besides, because the warp works on the 'clap your hands and believe' system, he more than likely gets more powerful with every worshiper. That's probably the reason that he has been able to match the combined powers of the 4 chaos gods for 10000 straight without breaks. I personally wouldn't want to drop a power boost like that if I had it.

Also disbanding the ecclesiarchy would probably cause a fuckmassive civil war.

There's that too.

[revan1801]

4922705 would be fun to see if the High Lords decided to send a joke throughout the imperium that the emperor had been revived. If you can get the entire imperium to believe that he is then their combined faith would probably change the warp itself and actually bring good old empy back on his feet and increase The Lord of change's power a million fold... But sadly empy will forever sit on the throne because of GW

[Loyalist]

4924206 yeah, advancing the story at all would be detrimental to their interests. Doesn't stop us from enjoying 40k though!

[dominatusimperator]

4922546 Yes. For now.

[Krysnha]

[Viceroy]

[Halifax]

Then she said something that took me by surprise, “Have you a place to stay?”

I mean, the Discord from the show, sure. But in the comics Discord can literally fly in time, not with magic, literally fly across time. That's some ridiculous speed
