The Hunt for the Fallen
Elements of the 5th Company of the Night Watch were aboard Strike Cruiser 'Artermis' when they received a distress signal from the remote Styx system. Even as Brother Captain Brontes sought clearance to investigate the source of the call for help, it was cut off abruptly.
With his Chapter Master's blessing, Brontes set the 'Artemis' on course for Styx, leaving instructions for the rest of his battle company on Silence, their home world, to follow as soon as they had armed for war.
Unbeknownst to the Night Watch, the Dark Angels had also picked up the distress call. Unlike the Night Watch, the Dark Angels had a better idea as to who had engineered the fall of Styx. To let the Night Watch, with its close links to the Grey Knights of the Ordo Malleus, uncover their terrible secret would be a catastrophe. An armada with the Dark Angels' finest on board leaves the Rock, hell bent on protecting the secret they had kept for eons...

Night Watch: The Night Watch is one of the Astartes Praeses, a group of 20 Chapters whose sole purpose is to guard the Eye of Terror. The Astartes Praeses are founded on the geneseeds of the Primarchs who did not fall to Chaos during the Horus Heresy. The Night Watch has maintained close links with the Grey Knights on Titan since their inception for reasons unknown, and the Grey Knights in turn, have a small but permanent detachment on the Night Watch's homeworld, Silence. In the 13th Black Crusade, the Night Watch fielded 11 companies against the forces of Chaos, making many suspect that they do not adhere strictly to the Index Astartes. However, unknown to all but themselves, the '11th company' was actually an entire company of the fearsome Grey Knights, sent to aid the Night Watch in their fight against the daemonic hordes tearing out from the Eye of Terror.
Dark Angels: The Dark Angels are considered among the most powerful and secretive of the loyalist Space Marine Chapters. Though they claim complete allegiance and service to the Emperor of Man, their actions and secret goals at times seem at odds with that professed loyalty, as the Dark Angels strive ever to atone for a secret crime committed long ago in the time of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.

Khorne Victorious!
Skarbrand bellowed, exultant. He cleaved the brash young elven general in two, the twin axes of Slaughter and Carnage separating torso from legs in one swift motion. The force of the killing blow rent even the untouched elven horse beneath the unfortunate elf apart, splattering both creatures' crimson lifeblood on the pure white snow.
The presence of so many daemons had turned the landscape to waste, ice and snow swirling to the barren ground. The winds screeched their tortured cries, echoing the howls of the Flesh Hounds gorging themselves on the pitiful remnants of the White Lions. Behind the servants of Khorne, the multitude of foul creatures marched relentlessly forward. Now that all forseeable opposition had been crushed underfoot, the daemons could fulfil their purpose here on Ulthuan.
Skarbrand leapt over the dead bodies surrounding him and strode purposefully towards the cave on the side of the mountain. The remaining daemons formed a protective ring around the entrance and waited. Soon enough, Skarbrand emerged from the cave and held up a man-size egg in his hand. As he held it up, it began to glow red, its intensity increasing until it became a fiery orange. With that, Skarbrand roared, and the daemons began marching back into the portal from whence they had come. Now that the creature of the End Times had been claimed, they would await in the Realm of Chaos until their master called upon them once again for the final battle, when the elves would be all but gone and the strength of Man had been spent. For now, the dragon would be borne back to Khorne's brass citadel, and under the aegis of the God of War himself, this foul abomination will wreak havoc in the world for many ages to come, verily, until the end of the world...
