《Aegis》Chapter 69: Waking up to a New Reality
Advertisement
You lay on the cold deckplate of your room as new feelings cascade through you. Instinctively, you know that Ariavari attempted to knock you out with her psychic talents. That she attempted to do so by presenting your brain with information that it shouldn't be able to process, reckoning that it would cause your brain to 'shut down and restart'. And that your brain processed this echo of the ancient past successfully because Ariavari's efforts pushed you past a metaphysical line in the sand. You are fairly sure that you are not entirely human anymore.
Yasha groans, and the deckplate beneath you grows colder. It seems that she was not unaffected as well. "Yasha? Did you just Dream of events on red sand?"
Yasha puts a hand to her forehead, rubbing at her temple. "Yes. You as well?"
"Yes. Do you mind turning off the cryomancy before we freeze to the deck?"
Yasha concentrates for a moment, and the deckplate warms. You sigh in relief. "I hate to ask, but are you mobile? Because I feel... off."
Yasha flows to her feet and turns to help you before coming to a graceful halt. "I can see why. You are saturated with warp energy. How are you not a mutated ball of goo right now?"
"Too stubborn to die? Something to ask Ariavari later. Help me up please."
Yasha reaches down and helps you to your feet. "How did you know that I was responsible for the cryomancy?"
"I just did. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that isn't in the usual Navigator's arsenal of powers, and something that 'unlocked' just now?"
"Yes and yes. Tell the Inquisitor?"
"Not yet. Lord Pyrus first, I think."
A familiar staff-wielding Space Marine looms in the doorway. "Speak of me and I shall appear, it seems. Tell me what?"

"Ariavari, the Eldar that contacted us above Vrenna to destroy that chaos shrine, is onboard the ship. She is after something aboard the ship, and was searching my quarters for it. We startled her, and she mind-blasted us. We just woke up."
Lord Pyrus stares past you, studying the warp residue saturating the room. Next he stares at you and Yasha. "Heh, not the wisest thing to do, but she clearly has plans for you two. Any idea what she was after?"
"Yes. Kamas was after a 'Shard' aboard the Terra Incarnadine. Some old Necron artifact, if I had to guess, and Ariavari wants to prevent her from getting it. Jace has surveyed most of the ship, except the interiors of the Warp and Plasma Drives, for obvious reasons, and the Main Computer Core due to radiation. I'd guess the Shard is there, and Ariavari and Kamas will be headed that way."
"So that is where I need to go."

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.
