(Crystallyl POV)
Location Nord Sector, Eldar World-Ymir, Alderi Settlement Azir'Ymir
My dear Frongfang, after me and my warriors reached the outer edge of the alderi settlement, I saw him trying to kill the horned, helmed coward that had refused to join the battle all this time.
But the bastard was harming my dear Frongfang with some damn psyker energy this enraged me but also made me proud to see a dearest companion fight on to kill his prey, but I couldn't let my Frongfang suffer so I charges in to chop off his head, I was so close to doing it to, when the bastard surge more lightning into my saberhorn beast!!!
He managed to make Frongfang back off after trying to rip his head off with some scepter with an eight pointed ring at the base, I saw as my beloved companion back off, still shaking off the shock he suffered as the horned helmed psyker turned to face me as I continue at him to kill the psyker bastard, when he did something terrible to Frongfang.
The honorable bastard attacked my dear Frongfang, blasted him with some kind of psyker witchcraft as I heard him growl in pain and get launched away, I needed to check on him so I ignored the psyker and went to where Frongfang was sent off to.
Looking down at my injured friend, I petted his white fur, checking for any serious wounds, but thank the "Frostfather" the spirit that granted us our connection to ice and cold, but only him but this new entity that has revealed himself to us, this...Void Lord.
I was happy and relieved that Frostfang was not serious, wounded just little harmed, and tired as I heard the crunching of snow as I turned to see my warriors all around me as I turned towards to them as I bow to them, telling them "I'm proud of you all. You have shown me and our people that we're true predators that stand at the top of the frozen!!!" I'm saying this with pride in my voice and my ice-axe in the air this provoked my warriors to cheer, but then the celebration was soured when the damned, pompous Azir'Ymir eldar came to us.
Sometime ago...
(Kala/Eldar Farseer POV)
The enemy psyker was ravishing through my poor people, many have fallen to unimaginable pain I witnessed poor younglings perish do to the psychic strain I watched in sadness, and rage as Khaine's blessing still was on my soul, and has even strengthened my psychic abilities but I still couldn't produce or sustain such a barrier on my own hence now I'm helplessly watching as my people suffered.
While I, too, felt this evil, corrupting force try and invade my soul, it was Khaine's strength and wrath that protected me from it, I even used said power to draw in the evil force more unto me than my kin, and warriors.
But it was sentient and ravenous, targeting the weaker ones amongst us all hope seemed to be fading as I prayed to Isha for mercy when the malignant force attacking the barrier lessened and became more mortal in a sense.
I felt the as once cosmic malice was fading away and I watched as my people and warriors expressed relief in both mind and body as the stress and pressure against the barrier was greatly weakened, this also send relief to my mind and soul, but I didn't waver, as I rallied my people to remain strong, as well as telling them that it will all be over soon, and I'm sure of this proclamation as my psychic senses were detecting that the enemies numbers were drastically dropping, and I also sense the ice psychic abilities of the shi'lanorai, despite our differences we are the same lineage and now my hope of Azir'Ymir and my people survival rest on those barbarians of the mountains.
Time passed, and once again, the enemy numbers dropped along with this dark force, the warpstorm around the planet also felt it becoming weaker, and space became more stable.
At last the enemy was now at its weakest, all I could sense outside the settlement is that dark psyker that Jar Zera was listening to, I felt my anger rise as I think on that vile traitorous heretic that sided with the Shadow, with Alka'lkarnak who I know see is truly real after facing his mortal forces in battle, and feeling his vile corruption personally.
But with now the danger finally gone, I started to lessen my psychic focus on the barrier, and my kin started to follow my example as I prepare to not only kill the dark psyker but eventually seek and murder that witch Jar Zera not only to hold my oath to Khaine, but to avenge all that witch has condemned and defiled not only in this battle but across Ymir.
I know she still draws breath, for Khaine has punished me for failing, I watched as the barrier was dropping around our Azir'Ymir, I drew my crimson colored singing spear still flowing in the power of Khaine and ran straight out of the settlement for retribution.
I sensed as my warriors, regardless of their fatigue, they felt as I, as long as our home and people are threaten we'll not rest as I started to see the snow, and gruesome remnants of the battle, tightening the grip on my spear I was expecting to find the horned helmed wearing psyker or at least his body but saw the famed robust princess of the Shi'lanorai, Crystallyl Shik'Adammine surrounded by her battle worn warriors celebrating this...this...atrocity with pride!
I felt my anger rising but composed myself as I needed answers and information on what happened during the battle, so relaxing as much as I could manage and started walking to them...
Present Time...
(General POV)
Kala and her warriors right behind her walked towards Crystallyl and her Bloodstained Snow Beasts there was a clear unease and open but silent animosity between the two forces.
As one side favors the use of advanced technology, unnatural resources, and the over dependant of psychic power while the other is more primal and tribal in their customs and culture, have warrior nature, prefer the use of nature than technology, have pride in their strength and skill above all these opposite lifestyles causes the growing distain snd mistrust between the alderi and shi'lanorai clearly displayed now between the princess and farseer along with their respective warriors.
While Kala showed signs of contemp, Crystallyl showed annoyance and outright dislike as she tighten the grip on her weapon and said with a teasing but clearly offensive tone, "So what does the all-knowing farseer, want with me and my warriors? Can't your all-seeing powers see I'm enjoying our victory and tending to my dear saberhorn beast companion?" she said with a face that started sweetly and smile, and then turned cold and expressionless.
Kala saw and heard all the insults and mockery that shi'lanorai princess as thrown at her, she has seen the wounded beast on the snow and has heard of Crystallyl's fame deed which includes taming a saberhorn beast.
She had to forcibly calm herself and sigh as she told Crystallyl that for the good of the Alderi Empire and Ymir, she needed to know everything that has happened, as she continues to speak and spew things that were infuriating Crystallyl with every word that Kala spoke to her but when she said, "I'll will also be taking command of you and your warriors, for the battle to come what is needed is a sensible leader not a snow covered, unorganized berserkers." these words said got angry reactions and yelled out all the bloodstained snow beasts, but Crystallyl face was showing shock before twisting to complete fury.
Once again her anger fuel the power within her, along with the dark mark in her soul and mind adding to the cold, as the glowing light blue runes ignited allover her body, and the cold of Ymir responded to her power.
A great swirling blizzard emerged around them, conjured by Crystallyl's rage and her warriors feeling the same rage and distaste for their alderi suppressor ready their weapons this caused Kala and her warriors to raise their guard as they never experienced this level of hate and power from any shi'lanorai ice psyker as they called them, which the shi'lanorai despise the name.
Seems that carnage was about to ignite again in Azir'Ymir when they heard a massive beastial roared from behind the alderi, grabbing all their attention, and they looked upon the towering behemoth of a beast.
It resembled a White Shadow/Ymirian Bear but three, if not four times, the size of those beasts with violet tint on its fur, three clawed multi-eyes tentacles swaying and wiggling in the blizzard winds still blowing.
The monster also had a couple of extra horns that a normal Ymirian Bear, massive sharp claws and fangs, as well as glowing red menacing eyes staring down at the settlement as it roared again and swung in massive claw onto a alderi tower completely destroying it and the alderi civilians began panicking and screaming at the sight of the mutant monster attacking.
Kala, upon seeing this monster, she first thought she was hallucinating, but the screams of her people and the destruction unfolding told her otherwise.
Refusing to allow Azir'Ymir to fall after surviving a horrific battle she commanded her guardians and all other range-weapon armed warrior to attack the beast as she and the other alderi defenders of the Azir'Ymir will start evacuating civilians to safety underground, nodding to her order they moved and started shooting at the mutated giant bear.
While the farseer coward did so Crystallyl and her warriors upon seeing the White Shadow in all its strength and glory were excite to face it.
All of them couldn't imagine it had changed this much since they started tracking and hunting the beast they all wanted to face it, when they heard a whisper in the wind telling them that this is Crystallyl's prey, and that it wanted to see more of her strength, ferocity, brutality, skill, grace, carnage, and darkness.
This could only be the entity they have just met the One that Dwells in the Void, or as Crystallyl is starting to call the "Void Lord" hearing his demands and in truth Crystallyl herself wanted the challenge the Bloodstained Snow Beasts lowered they weapons and made way for her princess, as she started walking forward she told her warriors to tend to her Frongfang, as they swear to protect her beast and also wished her good fortune, as she let out a smile chuckle spun her ice-axe Skathi a couple times and swung it a few times, she locked her sights at the bear and smiled as she spoke out loud, "I don't know who this Void Lord is but...I'm really starting to like him." as she rushed towards the mutated bear, her ice-axe was ready and herself eager for another great battle.
While the giant Chaos mutated bear was reeking havoc on the Azir'Ymir, attacking all buildings, with claws and tentacles, several alderi tried to attack it all meeting the same fate a gruesome, horrific end.
Guardians fired upon the beast, but the bladed disks of their shuriken firearms were completely ineffective against the monster just bouncing off the tough, thick, mutated hide of the bear, only serving to further irate the creature as it stomped those guardian defenders to bloody paste under it's massive paws.
Some that were using the tower for higher firing spots, or civilians trapped inside buildings or under rubble became prey to the hunger the beast was suffering from, the tentacles grab the cloisters of rubble, and rip the towers off the ground bringing them and those trapped either inside these wraithbone constructs or in between the sharp claws at the end of these gruesome tentacles, taking everything to the inside of it's mouth to crunch and eat.
Once in the litteral jaws of death, the monsterous Ymirian Bear crunches, chews, and eats all its alderi victims as it powerful massive jaws as crushed, blood soaked debris falls out it mouth along with the crimson blood and guts of it's consumed eldar victims.
As the Azir'Ymir eldar were starting to realize their weapons were useless against the behemoth, their psykers and seers started using their psychic powers against it hoping to finally cause ir some harm, and just maybe force the monster away from the settlement.
Blasting psychic waves, lightning, and bolts of energy at the beast was harming it, especially the attacks directly targeting the creature's mind.
As it started thrashing, it's head against the closest building, destroying them in the process with it's giant strength, all to shake off the mental assault that the Eldars were doing to it.
They were actually harming the monster, but they also enraged it, shaking it head as it closed its eyes and made low growls and grunts before it opened its eyes and roared with such force that it cause excruciating pain to the eldars that heard the roar, but those with psychic abilities were especially affected by the roar causing much more brutal damage and pain preventing them from using their psychic attacks, unable to take the beast's emence roar they were stunned unable to move as the Ymirian Bear raised his left paw to crushed all those that attack it.
But as the foul beast struck with all it strength, multiple huge, razor-sharp ice spikes burst out the ground directly in the path of the claw, and as the beast's paw struck against the area red and violet blood splashed out the bear's left paw.
As multiple ice spikes pierced through it's paw, the monster roared in pain as the beast looked down at it's wound and tried to loosen the crystal, and that when she appeared, Crystallyl kneeling down with her left hand touching the ground surrounded by a frosted light blue runes, as she lifted her head to look at the behemoth of a bear and her silver hair blowed in the Ymirian wind, she looked completely excited and grin like a happy predator looking upon it's prey.
Crystallyl, holding down unto her dearest ice-axe, started to stand and stop channeling her ice power through the ground, hence the ice spikes currently impaled unto the bear's left paw Crystallyl stood from the balcony she was standing on with her Skathi once again resting on her shoulder as she spoke, "This hunt keeps getting better and better." swinging down her ice-axe as continues, "This is going to be fun. Plus with it's head I might shut up all the alderi bastards that look down upon us, and finally rekindle the warrior spirit of those veterans, elders, and the old king at last!" with her grin becoming a hopeful and joyful smile, she jumps from rooftop to rooftop to finally face her prey.
The bear struggled with the pain, but sensing danger approaching through animalistic instinct, the mutated bear used it giant strength to break the ice connected to the ground, which also ripped some bits of frozen flesh as it freed the paw but it was still quite injured and riddled in ice spikes, as it bleed and started to numb with the intense cold, with the ice now inside the beast's paw.
Standing up tall with its hind legs, it tentacles acting rattled and erratic as the mutant Ymirian Bear roared at its enemy the beautiful,light brown shi'lanorai that was leaping closer and closer to it.
It launched its tentacles at Crystallyl, to crush her only for her to jump out the way, slash some that got too close to her every cut she dealt not only cause a deep wound but also cause extreme frost damage as those wounds she was dealing/dealth were quickly showing signs of frostbite a effect her axe has not only do it cut it freezes.
As another bunch of tentacles were heading for her, she jumped high straight up as the two of the tentacles completely crushed the building she was standing on while airborne Crystallyl begins focusing her power as another pair of tentacles came to kill her, with a predatory grin she swung her Skathi at one slashing it deeply that it almost split the tentacle in half as the frost started to spread on said tentacle that her slightly charged ice-axe hit, seeing the results Crystallyl was ecstatic, as dodge the last air tentacle driving her ice-axe on one of the eyes causing the bear to roar in pain as it tried to shake Crystallyl off it tentacle.
Crystallyl was cheering and laughing as she was hanging onto the tentacle she just hit, once she had her fun, she started to climb it, planning to use the tentacle to get closer at her preys weakpoint.
Once Crystallyl was finally on top and knew that the bear was highly subseptible to her ice power, and her strength was enough to cut into the beast she prepared to end the hunt, aiming for the monster's head.
So she begins once again to channel her power, as well as chanting in shi'lanorai tongue to further empower her next attack.
The bear was getting more angry as the princess kept harming it, and in a swift movement, the bear pulled its tentacle back to himself in great speeds but in truth this was what the princess was waiting for, a closer target.
As the jaws of the bear opened and were getting closer to but Crystallyl was ready just as the jaws were closing around the tentacle area she was standing on she jumped onto it nose, as her body was once again covered in light blue glowing runes, as soon as the beast bit down on the tentacle completely ripping to it, bathing itself in it own blood.
Crystallyl knew it was time to strike, and as she pulled back her left arm covered in glowing light blue and white frost, thrusting her arm forward, she fired a huge ice spike straight at the beast's right eye as the sharp ice projectile burrowed deeply into the now destroyed eye socket covered in frozen gore and blood.
Immediately, the giant, mutated Ymirian Bear reacted to the pain letting go of it now useless ripped tentacle, and shuke it's head unknowingly launching the shi'lanorai princess, really high into the air as it thrash its head and clawed at the glacier spike now stuck into its destroyed right eye.
The cold and pain were excruciating to the beast as it tried to aliviate some of the agony, it claws digging into it faces causing gashes whilst Crystallyl was above in the clouds looking down at her target she started praying to this new entity, this "Void Lord" to make her aim true, as she readied herself grabbing onto the handled of her Skathi with both hands she heard the voice again, "Impressive my little bloody snow princess. You've proven yourself worthy of this power, now...offer that monster head to me!!! Give yourself to this sensations for you know that the alderi don't have a rite to this world. Crystallyl, you know they'll never accept your people, and look at your people most have given themselves up to their masters the alderi." these words that echo inside her head, she knows them to be truth fueling her hatred towards the established order of Ymir, eldars aren't the true children of the snow as the shi'lanorai as Carnage and Atrocity surged through her being making her feel the power as her ice-axe started to react and change as the Void Lord continues to speak to her, "Yes my princess of cold. Embrace the dark powers, embrace your true nature. Embrace me and offer your soul and service to carnage, and I swear your people shall rise as the true warriors and rulers of this world. Embrace the bloodlust, the carnage, the genocide, the darkness, and Chaos!!!!!" grinding her teeth, she felt the power grow even more as she responded, "Void Lord, Master of Darkness and Carnage. I Crystallyl swear myself and my people to you. Please guide my blade as I claim this beast life in your name!!!"
With the bargain and oath set, some changes occurred, and the white fur belt pelt started gaining hints of violet and purple along with three horns growing in length and sharpness the emblem holding the head and claw together twisted into the shape of a silver mark of carnage, her Aergean Blue clothing began gaining mauve colored, and lastly her Skathi has drastically changed as it grew in size and length the shi'lanorai silver gaining a black swirl going down the now longer handle and ending at the pummel becoming a twisted, black snowflake style eight-point star with a small daemonhead in its center made of ice, the ice spikes on the back of the axe grew in number and lenght along with a large and wide arrow-head tip on the top of the ice-axe as the axe blade both the shi'lanorai silver axe-head and the ice blade grew in size doubling their original size with hooked edge at the bottom curving inward more, and lastly on the shi'lanorai silver axe-head encased underneath the ice has the mark of carnage etched to it, this is the newly evolved and corrupted Skathi and she is hungry for blood just like it's wielder.
Crystallyl charged her power of ice along with Carnage, feeling strength in such levels she had never felt before, realizing the truth of the world and the fall of the shi'lanorai.
They need Chaos not this false Frostfather, or the alderi all they need is power and carnage as this frozen world and beyond belong to them and the Void Lord, as she started to quickly free-fall towards the thrashing carnage mutated bear her great ice-axe drawn back and ready as it surged with light blue and violet colored energies.
The bear was calming down, staying still and exposing the back of it neck as it looked around for her, but this only excited Crystallyl more as she was close enough she swung down her Skathi with every ounce of strength she could muster, along with the added force from her free-fall as Crystallyl cleaved right through the back of the neck of the Ymirian Bear.
The slash was very deep, cutting countless veins as the red and violet blood completely bathed Crystallyl and much of the area of Azir'Ymir as the beast thrashed around as it was dying.
Her axe was wedge deeply into the monster's bone as it was hitting the spine managing to cut deep enough to several the primary cords of the spine making the Ymirian Bear basically brain dead as the body was thrashing in reality become the nerves haven't fully died yet.
In one last thrashing movement as the beast stood, and the tentacles wiggled and thrashed as well all went silent and limp.
As the giant mutated monster started to fall forwards causing a huge crashing sound to burst out for all to hear.
Everyone came out of including Kala and Crystallyl's Bloodstained Snow Beasts alongside some of these shi'lanorai warrior was the faithful companion of the princess, the saberhorn beast, Frongfang they saw parts of the battle between Crystallyl and the monster but all managed to see the beast demise.
As they all saw moment coming from the bear and yet any sign of Crystallyl they were worried as Kala and her warriors prepared for possible attack, and the Bloodstained Snow Beasts did as well with Frostfang getting in a low position and growling in a menacing stance when a wet popping sound was heard, followed by another and another.
A large amount of blood was gushing out the neck of the beast's body, followed with more wet popping sounds when a red and violet covered clawed tip humanoid hand burst out the creature, grasping at the fur and hide close to it.
As this female figure pulled herself out of the monsterous bear completely covered in blood and gore, as she opened her turquoise and silver edged eyes, she raised her great ice-axe above her head and let out a great victory cry which immediately was accompanied by her warriors as the princess, Crystallyl Shik'Adammine has been victorious.
All Alderi watched in amazement as a shi'lanorai managed to bring down such a monster that they couldn't believe that they could kill as all the shi'lanorai celebrate the great battle, and successful hunt.

After an unknown amount of time because of Warp-effery, wild love making between Laharl and all his seven wives, which were currently sleeping soundly and naked on their huge, burgundy, and violet cushioned bed, underneath the thick comfy covers.
The bed has greatly expanded since the newest additions currently the Dark One was enjoying himself a chalice full of Ambrossia, resting on one of the cushioned sofas in the chamber as he just fully corrupted both Crystallyl which will spread the carnage corruption onto the rest of her race as he knows that Crystallyl will force the rest of her people to his worship.
And he knows that his wives Cassandra and Jade are going to punish that weak coward of a sorcerer for his worthlessness and incompetence, sometimes he regretting placing Corex into suspended sleep as he'll be a better asset in the Crusaders than now, but he already chosen not only someone to replace that sorcerer as leader of his mortal invading forces but also the first Chaos Champion to ever rise amongst the mortals...Jar Zera as Laharl laughed and enjoyed another swing of his drink.
