#The future of humanity... Will be its past. (Warhammer 40k crossover)

Before the dying Emperor was a figure. Smaller than the towering, living corpse bound to mass of steel, decked with armored plates worthy of his regalia. Shades of red and gold gleamed with every inch of apparel.

But the amount of malice he carried with him is on par with, if not greater than any of the forces of Chaos combined.

It was unknown how Davoth, the King of Demons, and Dark Lord of Hell entered the moving tomb of his visited. But one thing was for certainty: His presence was unnoticed, unexpected, by even the best of mortalkind armed with the gift of mental clarity, and by extent, the powers that come with it.

"Davoth. I rule my own subjects of fiends, and a source of dominion in Hell." Spoke the fiendish man-shaped entity. "While I know that I am an outsider to both you and other Dark Lords native to your reality, I cannot help but be ever curious."

"Long-lived and blessed with powers beyond your charge's imagination you may have been, but I know one who suffers his subjects' mortality when I see it."

"Especially now, in your state."

[expvrgction] "Never met before, but the fact that the rotten remains of a once magnificent 'father' of humanity still holds on to life is interesting."

(For this meme! Davoth, no.)

The desiccated carcass upon the Golden Throne does not speak, of course not. It's vocal cords had shrived up and its lips had turned into bronzed leather. But the devil before him is right. Within that ruined husk, there is still life, life sustained through gavage of souls. That life exists beyond the physical, beyond the perception of mundane mortals. Those attuned to the Immaterium, however, would have felt that being's gilded tendrils probing, searching imperceptibly for the source of that voice. +W H A T.......A R E....Y O U....?+ @expvrgction
