Lady Lion's Little Primarchs

The defender's butte turned out to have a rather extensive cave system, which had been found as they were building up the fortifications on each side of the defile they were camped in. Corvus had suggested that they move their camp "indoors", leaving some scraps outside. They had settled into the cave system, with the meeting room as a chamber in the conjoining "hallway" between the two arms forming the defile. Azkellon crossed to the cave area where the Raven Guard were staying. Both the Blood Angels and the Raven Guard were on rest periods, and this gave him the opportunity he had been waiting for: a chance to speak with Pryskella about how to be the perfect bodyguard to someone as headstrong as a son of the Emperor. He took his responsibility for the safety of Lord Sanguinius very seriously, but he wasn't blind. It was clear that Lord Sanguinius chaffed at Azkellon's tactics, and he wanted to make it better.

"You aren't," Dantioch said. "We wanted to preserve fuel, and Lord Perturabo didn't say we had to leave the planet." "T...

  Dantioch and his squad had been volunteered by the Mournival to serve the captives dinner. It had been agreed before the war games started that any captives were to be treated with dignity, which included feeding them. The Iron Warriors had already agreed to take the night watch. "If it helps, Lord Fulgrim cooked this evening, and you get what we got," he said as he entered the area where the Ultramarines were being held. The only answer he got was glares from them. Sighing, he signaled his men to dole out the meal kits. ****************************** Ahzek and Ohrmuzd had been promoted to supervising the Alpha Legion initiates do the dishes. Neither of them had realized that Alpharius was rotating through the group, both to give each initiate time as the Primarch, and to have fun messing with Fulgrim. Joysepha had noticed, but kept it to herself, like most of the other Custodians she didn't understand why Alpharius did what he did with the initiates. At the re...
