The Farseer turned her eyes up to watch drop pods burn holes in the atmosphere like falling stars. The humans had come in force, likely responding to the same threat, even if she and her forces would likely become their first target. They were fools. Fools that had doomed themselves just as much as they had the rest of this planet, but they had no way of knowing that. Their minds, though altered, were mere children’s minds in comparison to that of the Aeldari.

Engaging them on the field was a risk, but it was one they would have to take if their mission was to succeed. The planet, the sector, perhaps even their very Craftworld depended on it.

She hurried, scurrying across the barren waste as fast as she could, relaying orders to her forces and preparing them for battle. Waves of Aeldari clad in yellow and purple, Iyanden colours, rallied at her call; Rangers taking their positions, Guardians preparing their shuriken catapults, Hemlock Wraithfighters taking to the skies and maintaining a tight formation overhead.

As the Astartes drop pods and Storm Ravens began to smash and land into the earth, shaking the ground and sending cracks rippling along the surface, the Farseer reached her webway portal. She stood before it, stretching her mind through the portal itself and sending her consciousness to the other side. There, sitting dormant on the other side, waiting for her call, the great monster stirred. She hadn’t wanted to wake it, had hoped she would not need to, but the hour was growing short, and they would not be able to defeat the Astartes without help.

Slowly, guided by the Farseer’s ethereal touch, the Wraith Knight ambled through the webway, arriving with a flash of light at the mouth of the portal. The towering construct turned its head low to regard its Farseer, bowed, and then gave its attention to the advancing humans. They were moving quickly, spots of blue amidst the red, barren landscape.

They would break themselves against the Aeldari here. Otherwise many more lives would be lost.
