Chereads / The Last Wolf / Chapter 14 - The Strongest of Temptations

Chapter 14 - The Strongest of Temptations

Unnoticed by the two of them a portal of pink and purple appeared from nothing and on the other side stood a shadowy figure with three violet eyes steering into their backs.

I stood there looking at the palace of perversion and its alluring lands of traps and deadly temptations. We must make our way through this hell as quickly as possible, I clenched my fist feeling my fingers press against the inside of my gauntlets knowing that to travel into her domain wouldn't be a matter of if but when.

A portal, that could get as there if not most of the way, after watching the demon die in front of me I felt more power surge through my veins, my being and the Iacobus looked more hole his connection to the warp had grown stronger, " Could we use a portal to try and bypass her traps of temptation?" Iacobus nodded, "We could but we would need to teleport every time we got to a new area or plane of horrors, aaaagggghhhh I which we could just have a key and open a metaphorical door to her palace. 

"I have a key!" We stood there facing the domain of pleasures, " That's great now we don't have to wait a century for this idiot to either grow stronger or we make our way through this place." Iacobus said with heaving sigh like he expected me to grow winnings or have the power to click my fingers and a portal a pairs out of thin air, " You know what Instead of growing my powers, I should use my sword to shave you clean from that flee ridden fur coat." brandishing my sword as I focused my psyker powers into the blade to make it sharper and small amounts of lightning surged from my body towards the blades edge, glinting in the light.

As Iacobus was about to unleash his superior psyker abilities his fur just starting to crackle with power, we looked at each other with confused looks knowing that not many could sneak up to them let alone stand there under immense pressure of our abilities.

We slowly turn to face the daemonette standing in front of a swirlling portal, her figure showing us what we might think be beautiful to our eyes, but I have tempered my mind to even withstand the greatest of demons and having the experience of fighting and defeating greater demons, this is nothing.

The daemonette spoke " My name is" in the span of a single second my blade was millimetres away from it's neck crossing ten metres from where I stood with Iacobus.

I paired through my helm almost feeling a deadly glint from my helmets red eyes, I could see the sweat running down it's face almost about to freak out in run, my blade stood unmoved by anything but my hand "I do not care for your name little demon for I will kill you and a million more of you without a care in the world." I can see my words made her think about her next words l, she was about to raise a hand to touch my chest and hesitated as my blade moved closer as her blood leaked out from the side of the neck.

The daemonette hissed as her form changed to see it's long reptile tongue and pincer like hands, showing us her slender purple figure and gnashing teeth of needles. Iacobus steps forward unleashing a bit of psyker magic, the daemonette stood there terrified by his image as every step he got closer his presence was death.

Iacobus still making his way here I could here the word "Monster..." passing it's teeth. Iacobus now only a metre away " Why are you here speck now or my brother here will put an end to you." Iacobus finishing his sentence with a grin showing his Fenris wolf size teeth for a bit of extra spice.

It looked at me with terror in it's eyes seeing me unchanged, my blade looming over it's very soul " Demon his question is simple, but let me ask again, why are you here?... Do not worry if you answer our question truthfully this entire conversation will be painless." I saw my words made the demon relax enough to talk, "I was sent here to invite you to see the mistress for she wishes to talk to you both." Iacobus looked satisfied with the answer and I was to my blade came away from it's neck.

It looked happy to be let free from deaths grasp, "please follow me." I stepped forward as to follow the demon through the portal, The daemonette had a puzzled look seeing the world around her change and spin.

Last fang had found it's mark and sliced the demons head clean off making sure to keeping my words of making it painless true. I watched as it's body fell to the ground and head rolled to my feet, I bent down and gazing coldly into it's eyes " I want my face to be the last thing you see because sooner or later all of your kind will join you in ever lasting death and you will tell them that it was the last wolf of Luna." I stood up facing the portal and brought my foot forward stepping on the daemonette's head like a bug, I don't know what we will face on the other side but I am glad to have brother who I can trust with my life like Captin Loken.

I turned to face Iacobus, " Are you ready to face what's on the other sude?" Iacobus thought for a moment and said " Need you ask we are equals in this trial of will, we will need each other to survive if comes to it." All I could do was smile, already guessing that he would walk through hell it self with me, right to the very end.

Iacobus moved towards the portal, I had but one question in mind to ask. " Could you teach me that trick of intimidation? I see how that could be useful for me in the future." he turns to me " In due time apprentices." I rolled my eyes and we walk into the portal.

Seeing the Palace of Slaanesh was a site to see the most beautiful and most exquisite of luxurious that one can think of and more. But my mind was not set on these objects but one, sitting on a throne surround by daemonettes and a greater demon of Slannesh chained to the ground looking like he was dying of pleasure.

The one sitting on the throne had an air of elegance but suggestive was only one person or being I could think of, "Slannesh."

As her name rolled out off my helmet she stood up licking her lips with a snake like tongue. She took her time walk down from her throne then disapaired before our eyes, Iacobus and I went back to back trying to cover ever angle of attack I drew my bolter ready to fire at anything in range.

The daemonette's sate their pleasuring each other not caring two highly dangerous individuals were ready to kill anything that got close, we stood there for few minutes seeing nothing and my auspex not picking up anything close.

A hand reached out and touched my shoulder, I turned my body in less then a second, destroying a piler and the decor with holes bigger then a humans first leaving nothing to survive the bolter fire.

Iacobus and I shifted our gaze around the room searching for a body until our eyes rested upon the throne where Slannesh gazed at us, "you may have a chance." having a smile plastered across her face

I shouted " what are you talking about!" she sat up straight and spoke " I have a deal for you little wolf and for you sorcerer." Iacobus marched forward not afraid of her powers, "What deal!" she smiled like it was all a joke and started to laugh, "Oh to kill my brother Khorne..."
