The birth of a Chapter Master
Grand master Tanuth sat on the command throne surveying the 3D hologram of the impending battle field between the Artic fox chapter and an element from the Hive Fleet Medusa. The hive fleet was still 138 hours out and Tanuth wasn’t about to rush to them, no that wasn’t the chapters way, they would sit and wait for the pray to come to them and then crush it under their black armoured boots.
Tanuth’s eyes caught the clock in top corner of the display
“998. M41, uuummm 300 yrs, and another 4000 before that, am I really that old”
“Pardon lord”
Looking up Tanuth found a helmsman looking back at him
“What ooh nothing helmsman talking to myself”
Turning back to his station “yes my lord”
Grand master Tanuth looked down at his Aegis terminator armour, even after all this time he still wondered how the founding father had got four of these suits. From the little contact the chapter did have with their brother chapters only the Grey knights had them as far as he knew, and much of the chapters records had been lost due to the fortress coming under attack millennia ago. Many records had been saved but still as is the way many where not. Tanuth thought back to day long gone when he had first seen the armour he now wore and the man he once called lord. Grand master Grethof was his name a huge beast of a man with a temper to match. And of the lord before him who was still fighting for the chapter even now within the confines of a dreadnaught body. Old Vaslogof hadn’t been awoken for about 1000 yrs his body kept in the great armoury on the home world. But for this campaign he had been awoken and now sat deep within the battle barge waiting to go to war.
Tanuth’s eyes glazed over as his memories flooded back unlike many chapters the Artic fox’s kept their early memories to remind them of their reason for fighting. He was 4yrs old again running along the snowy field of his home town, sparing with his brothers using bits of wood as swords.
He was 7yrs old his brother was taken by the Fox’s 2 yrs previously, and only 3 more till they came again to the clan for three more. All that winter Tanuth trained and trained carrying blocks of ice from the lake the 5 miles to the village they lived in. he wanted nothing more than to stand beside his older brother. That summer he spent all his time in the fields with his father harvesting the crops. He had turned 8yrs old only days previously. The seasons changed time passed until there was only 2 months left.
“They always come after the harvest” Tanuth said to himself
His father was growing tired and old thus needing more help on the farm these days, out of his 5 sons only 1 had been selected but Tanuth was strongest in the clan and most likely to be taken. He had been lucky, out of his wife’s 3 brothers; two had been taken by the fox’s. It had been an honour for the family but a blow now that only one remained to work the fishing boat.
The harvest was in and Tanuth was constantly training to build up the strength he thought he would need. It was late afternoon several months after the harvest was in, when the thunder and flames appeared in the sky. As was the custom all boys between the ages of 8 and 11 were brought to the town square where they were chained to the statue of a giant fox. Several of his friends were there as well, all looked nervous.
The great air ship on wings of fire landed out side the village. From its hatch stepped 2 massive figures who entered the village and came to stand in front of the 6 boys. Tanuth watched as one checked for physical strength while the other, taking out a sheet of some sort stabbed a needle in to each of the boy’s arms and let the blood drip on to the sheet. The giant came to rest in front of Tanuth he was wearing a skull helmet which scared the crap out of Tanuth as the eyes a glowing green colour scanned him, the giants hand came down and drew blood from Tanuth’s arm and placed it on the sheet he was holding.
Tanuth’s eye fixed on the giants as the data sheet came to life and scanned his blood and DNA. Tanuth open his mouth as if to speak, but firmly shut it again. The skull masked giant looked at him and the voice that came from the grill was gruff and hard.
“What is it boy, if u have something to say, say it or do u wish for me to remove your head from your neck. Which I will do if you keep your eyes lock as they are”.
Tanuth gasped and the boy beside him pissed his pants at the sound of the all commanding voice.
“Sir… Lord…. I…. wish to know what you’re doing with our blood”
“You have balls boy asking me a question, only 2 have ever said anything during the choosing. To answer your question boy, I am testing your body for corruption and mutation and physic ability all of which we do not allow within out brotherhood”.
The giant walked away before anything else could be said, to talk with his companion. The giant’s voice boomed across the square.
“we have chosen the ones we shall take” he nodded to the other he was with, who walked forward and grabbed the first boy from the line who Tanuth didn’t know well he lived in the hills away from the farm land where his family cut down trees and made charcoal. The second was Furgus one of his closest friends, the giant warrior then came to stand in front of him and reached out putting his huge metal hand on Tanuth’s shoulder.
“You are to come with us, boy”
Thus Tanuth’s life changed forever.
