Magnus could feel and see the great turmoil and distress within their brother's psionic signal and immediately ceased the lesson he was giving to the young acolytes to speak privately with his fellow primarch, within the heavily warded and protected sanctuary of his private study. Sitting beside preserved specimens of the organs and body parts of spirits and true daemons, the red king of Prospero projected his mind and great power into the vast seas of the warp, and soon found the astral avatar of his brother, sat with crossed legs as was the habit of Long Jianese men, with a pained and regretful expression, worry weighing down on his brow more than the cursed brand it bore."Brother" Magnus said gently, worringly, as he reached out to his brother "What is it that ails you so terribly?"Lieren, weeping tears of boiling gold and frozen silver, bowed his head shamefully, regretfully, unable to look his brother and peer in the eye."A great weight, that I am unable to bear" he answered, as was his habit, vaguely and buried beneath poeticism"What" Magnus hastened, speaking perhaps more sternly than he intend, as his great red hand wrapped around the silk covered shoulder of his brother, shaking him without meaning to as he remained limp and most concernly of all, defeated."A brother, whose name I do not know. He suffers, abused by the man who should've been a father and guardian to him, used as a figurehead and tool" Lieren hissed, with the same measure of venom and vitriol of which he spoke the dangerous denizens of the great sea, the entities he dubbed variably as evil spirits or daemons. Magnus' eyes widened and he felt his muscles tense as his blood ran cold."Like you had known Angron suffered under the yoke of the high riders" Magnus whispered as Lieren shook his head, nearly pitifully"Oh wise Magnus, forgive me for keeping this tragedy from you. But I had believed i could intervene and protect this brother, as I had Angron, assist him in freeing himself from his abuse, aid him as a brother should, show him what family was meant to be and mean" his brother wailed and cried, tears now streaming from his face, catching in his scars and rising as snow white mist as he admitted ot what he imagined as a great crime "But, this damned brand upon my head, prevents me from doing so. So once again, I must dishonorably break my word, and shamefully ask you to face the danger I had intended to meet in my place"Cont
>>6301846Magnus' felt his expression soften as he knelt down, sharing with his brother the burden of the intense emotional turmoil he was experiencing and bowed his head, listening to him as he heartfeltly relayed to him their brother's plight and suffering as a ward of a heresiarch and the shadow of the most malevolent of warp denizen that fell upon him and his world.And for every word of explanation and grief that passed Lieren's lip, the sorcerer lord of Prospero felt his rage growing deeper and more profound, testing even his composure and self control as he heard all his brother knew of their nameless brother's condition and suffering and the machinations of the dark powers that had hounded him that had now turned their wills and great powers towards their brother who had done naught to earn their ire nor attention. He felt himself at risk of psionically demolishing his own abode, and perhaps the city that surrounded it, from the sheer, white hot wrath he felt at hearing that one of his brothers, though unknown to him before now, was being abused and mistreated by a simple, superstitious man with ambitions far greater than himself."My blood is boiling Lieren with anger, you need not kowtow, scrape and beg me for assistance, give me a path and tell the Aeldari I WILL intercede and lend whatever aid I may to my brother, and I shall, with utmost haste. Stand, stand tall and proud, and give unto me the burden of this trial instead, we are brothers and you need not suffer alone. It is from no fault or weakness of your own that you cannot stand by his side, know this. And know that I will stand for both of us, when I travel and quest to lift from our abused brother's neck the collar and leash that has been so tightly fastened!""You speak too kindly to my brother. I shall do all I can to aid you in this journey. To earn some amount of meager redemption for being incapable of acting in your place, oh most sagacious and kindly Magnus!" Lieren declared loudly "Please, restrain your wroth and listen to the lesson I give, so you may be stronger in this most dire time, and better equipped to confront the greatest enemy, should they rear their misshapen and belligerent heads!___And what is the lesson you teach Magnus, Lieren?>How to wield and harness the wind of Hysh, the white flame of purity and cleansing!

Quick question, would number 3 violate our vows again.

>>6301847>How to wield and harness the wind of Hysh, the white flame of purity and cleansing! The light that illuminates that which is secret, the blaze that heals and mends!Seems fitting for a world of chaos worshippers. Although when Lorgar first met Magnus he had thought him a demon, as him and sanguinius were the first to greet him with his father. Hope he can clear that misunderstanding from happening
>>6301847>How to wield and harness the wind of Hysh, the white flame of purity and cleansing! The light that illuminates that which is secret, the blaze that heals and mends! Let's make Magnus more yoked, pretty sure with his potential he can just true death daemon with hysh

>>6301847>The martial art of the Night Crane Style, which you had made to counter psykerists like the two of you and wicked spirits and devils of the warpMagnus may well be forced into a situation where it's too dangerous to rely on the warp, even for him. This will give him a specialized means of counteracting his likely enemies in such a scenario.

The light that illuminates that which is secret, the blaze that heals and mends!>The martial art of the Night Crane Style, which you had made to counter psykerists like the two of you and wicked spirits and devils of the warpHysh is obligatory, but anons make a good point about Night Crane being a good emergency tool. I think Magnus will pick up on Hysh naturally even if we split the lesson, so including it is a good idea.Didn't Magnus already know about Lorgar? I think he was there when Eldrad told us he would only let us save one brother and we chose Angron. I guess we never told him the details?

Maybe if we could have Kanzeon make special armor for him, that would help the most, but the transport issur remains.We made a promise to Big E concerning the Daemonic and should not propagate this knowledge, even if Magnus is already informed.Hysh should be fine, though. It might be better to shift Magnus' toolset to something more broadly usable.
Calling the vote now. Feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed now. No idea what I was sick with, probably a stomach bug of somekind but it made me feel like death reheated.AnywaysThe martial art of the Night Crane Style, which you had made to counter psykerists like the two of you and wicked spirits and devils of the warp: 3How to wield and harness the wind of Hysh, the white flame of purity and cleansing!

"And what lesson do you intend to impart onto me, brother?" Magnus asks you as you compose yourself, reign in and leash your raging emotions, and focus your enmity and wroth to a razor fine spear tip"The flame that mends, the very same that Guozhi lead me to, as he brought to you where Jian Qi hid away the secrets and mysteries of true alchemy" You tell him, nodding fervently as his eyes widen with amazement "Nothing less than the free wind of the Empyrean, the illuminating white light that purifies and cleanses as equally as it nurtures and heals. The White Flame. Hysh!""I'd sensed you'd gained a new power, but did not wish to interupt your grieving with pestering questions" He says, breathless as the two of you great men huddle together like boys who have found a bright and colorful lizard, as you, cusping it in the palms of both of your hands, show Magnus a flickering tongue of Hysh"It is magnificent, brother" He says earnestly, voice rapt with awe as he kneels down and examines the wind that scours and burns away corruption, that can separate from mortal flesh the discordant spirit, that can reveal much more than any common torch or electrical light, that which may become a flame that mends and creates rather than destroy"Is is not merely a saintly elixir, to ease suffering and alleviate pain, Magnus. It is also a weapon. When suitably channeled and form, it may become the flames of the pyre that burn away the essence of those most wicked of spirits. You...know that which I speak of, though through oath I cannot tell all I know" You tell him and Magnus clasps a red hand upon your shoulder and smiles knowingly"I may know more than even you, Lieren" He says coyly "Though my methods and research are secret, even to our father""I do not fault you for your secrecy, he may react poorly, knowing how open you are to the changing of the great seas tides" You tell him "I know I need not instruct you much for you to learn how to wield and harness the winds of Hysh, so great is your wisdom and psionic potency, but I shall tell you all I know and all the ways it may be used, both kindly and violently""This is a kingly gift. But considering how you came to wield this light, as either a salve or a spear, I cannot accept it freely" Magnus, severely, explains, clasping his hands around yours, closing them "It is the last gift of your teacher, Guozhi who is said to have lived a thousand lives""And who taught me to philosophize and question the world and all I see" You fondly recollect "Who gave me support and grandfatherly kindness from the day I met him. But, brother, I cannot let you walk into the Panther's lair, without the poison that weakens their jaws and blunts their fangs and claws whilst tattering their unwholesome hides...""I am not refusing instruction. I am simply stating, brother, that I shall repay you in kind. A kingly gift exchange for one of equal value. Equivalent exchange" He explains with a wry fox's smileCont
>>6302989"A gift I should've shared earlier. If you would have it. I know, despite being something of a mystic yourself that you do not practice alchemy" He continues, pulling his hands from yours "That is fair I feel, and will make us both safer from the predators of the deeper waters. We have always shared our knowledge and views, from the day we first met by happenstance""For to call it fate, would be to admit that we were both fools" You laugh, and Magnus throws his head back to guffaw"I have grown someone tired of hearing that favorite refrain of yours, for all the truth it contains" He admits good heartedly "So what say you brother, shall I make you an alchemist as you make me a master of the white flame you call Hysh?"What do you tell Magnus, Lieren?>Simply that you already have learned so much from him and still have so much more to learn from him, to accept such a gift from him. And that teaching him of Hysh and its powers is just a partial repayment for what he has taught you.>Accept it, and note that he seemed over enthused to learn alchemy and reclaim it from Jian Qi and ask if he had prior experience with practicing its incomplete form?>"You can repay me, when we meet and rejoin our father's crusade, my beloved brother">"No, no alchemy. I'd prefer to learn a new aspect of pyskerism itself, for you've practiced and mastered schools that are beyond my natural powers">Write in
