Yet another prologue for anoter story... this time it might never get finished, as I'm a little outta ideas what to write next.
It's also not a pure 40k story but rather a weird crossover... you can try guessing what is the crossover character. (Hint: Computer games, 2002/2003)
Maybe if I have the time, it will evolve into an entire story arc... which I hope for
"Gruesome death usually comes in small, pretty packages"
-Imperial Guard Veteran
The lone drop pod plummeted through the atmosphere. Smaller then those normally used by Imperium, it was also almost completely free of any markings, par one: a red double-cross combined with side-turned eight was emblazoned upon the single hatch. Little larger then a coffin, it could clearly accommodate only one passenger. But for its purpose, one was enough.
Something was striking about that thing... whether by purpose or some terrible mistake, it was not equipped with back thrusters... it could not decelerate before landing, making it little more then a man-made meteor.

The capsule crashed onto the rocky surface of the world with a force that would splinter the bones of an ordinary human or even a super-human Adeptus Astartes. But the being inside was no mere human nor a Space Marine. It was something altogether more powerful...
The pod, as unbelievable as it might seem, survived the impact with only superficial damage, just like if it was built with such treatment in mind...
Suddenly, the hatch flew into the air as if it was blown away by an explosion. For a split second, a slender figure with two strange blades attached to its forearms stood against the night sky. And then it was gone. The shattered remains of the capsule were the only traces of the new visitor to this world of eternal twilight and red mist...
Soon the foul masters of this planet shall know a new experience... fear. For now there is a new power here, one hell-bent upon their destruction. Nothing can stop it, nothing can avert it. Not their guards, nor their black castles built upon the rocky crags...
They cannot stop her of their own blood...

(Retyped it all in again after a power shortage now)
What do you think of it so far? Can you guess who is the crossover character?
