" About Vulture..."

"My sister has already heard much of the tale, save near the end, but I will allow questions from you all should you have any..."

I Breath in once more and begin...

"As you should know, the sentinel, our ancestor, was considered the primarch of our legion. He had a brother named Vulture. However, Vulture grew Jealous of The sentinel's power, for he could never beat him... ever. This then turned into pure hate and spite of his brother, and he left with the aid of a libarian to the warp. This all happened a mere 5 or 6 years after initial contact with the imperium."

"It is only speculation on what happened... but we speculate that he had somehow gone through each of the ruinous powers domains... and may in fact have met with them... and lived obviously."

"Their is no record of what occured after... and would not be any mention of him... until the end of the horus heresy. Almost 1 year after horus's defeat, Vulture launched his... Intent on destroying elysium, then earth. For some unknown reason, he invaded the segmentum Tempestus... opposite the Eye of Terror. Far more confusing was his forces. He came with numbers unheard of... Scholars say his original force was precisely 50 trillion Cultists, 10 million marines, 5 million obliterators, a total of 700 billion Daemons (including greaters), 50 billion engines of war, and almost a full million titans."

"However, he could not field these forces as he does now. Back then it was standard invasion. He was focused, cruel, and very intellegent. Entire sub-sectors would fall within minutes. When our forces finally started to fight... He was already half way to earth and elysium, and it only took him 10 years to do it."

"We coordinated with the Elysium guardsmen Regiments for the whole war, and without them we would have lost..."

I lose track before picking up again...

"At the time, we only had 10 chapters in service, with 11 in training, but that number would be cut in half by this conflict. We Drove into his advance, stopping it in its tracks. For almost 200 and 40 years, we were deadlocked with his forces... never gaining ground or losing it. Just endless battles, day and night... Several battles would last several years even... and some still haunt me..."

"I should explain... I was an initate when the wars first began... In fact I was their the day it started... but thats another story... uh, anyway... I was their for the whole war, watching it go on and on... that is... until vulture himself took the field..."
