Warhammer Divine Throne

”This necklace is called Lilith’s Heart. My plan for the New World, as you have proven, is unfeasible. So, during this time, I have exhausted my Divine Power to forge the embryonic form of the New World and imbued it into this necklace,” the Lake Fairy softly explained, then she extended her jade-like hands and placed the necklace around Laine’s neck.

”Lilith’s Heart...” Laine reached out and brushed through the golden hair of the Lake Fairy. ”Thank you, I will always wear it.”

”You must always wear it because it is my gift to you.” After receiving Laine’s Spiritual Energy infusion, the Lake Fairy looked much better. She lightly pushed Laine with her hand to signal him to let go, then stood up. ”Right, where were we?”

”We were talking about how the Eternal Queen’s actual partner is Terion.” Laine also stood up.

The two walked inside the spacious high tower, the Lake Fairy floating barefoot in the air. ”No, the matter before that.”

”You said a Chaos Army invaded Ossuan, and High Elf Princess Adira led the army to battle against Slaanesh’s Chosen ’Beauty,’ Prince Sigwald.” Laine nodded. ”You also mentioned that Ossuan’s Guardian, Terion, was attending the Eternal Queen’s mating ceremony.”

”Yes, that’s where we left off.” The Lake Fairy led Laine toward the dining room in the tower. ”At the time, Terion wasn’t present, and my Chosen, the Hos White Tower Mage Council’s Chief Great Mage, Tygris, was leading an Expeditionary Army in Lustria on an expedition, so the Phoenix Royal Court was in complete chaos. Princess Adira’s plea for help received indifference and ridicule from the nobility, simply because her influence was too low in Ossuan. Without Terion’s support, few nobles in the Royal Court took heed of her. The nobles sent her an elite army but refused to provide further support.”

”Sounds like a dire situation.” Laine maintained his calm and a sense of detachment.

The two walked into the kitchen together, where fine-ground wheat flour, granulated sugar, High Elf honey, milk, oil, and eggs had already been prepared, along with a bottle of blueberry jam. The Lake Fairy had carefully arranged the activity of making Elf cake together.

”The situation was indeed dire, so I decided to step in and help,” the Lake Fairy rolled up her sleeves and began teaching Laine how to make the Elf’s blueberry jam cake while narrating the course of the war.

The cause of the war was ridiculously laughable. Champion of Slaanesh ’Beauty’ Prince Sigwald led over six thousand Barbarian troops to attack Ossuan merely because he envied the High Elves for having equally beautiful golden hair as his own.

”My hair is the most beautiful, and that’s not up for debate.”

—Champion of Slaanesh ’Beauty’ Prince Sigwald

”Princess Adira is my follower. When she prayed to me for help, I decided to help her resist the Chaos Army.” The Lake Fairy cracked the eggs, separating yolk from white while continuing to speak. ”Initially, we were unaware of the size of the Chaos Army, so Princess Adira and I devised a plan of luring the enemy in and constant harassment. With my help, a magic fog spread amongst the Cosque’s mountains and islands, concealing spells continuously took effect, hiding Elf villages, manors, and towns. Princess Adira led a large number of chariot forces and Shadow Warriors, constantly hunting down the Chaos Warband’s scouts and Chaos Lords.”

”That method indeed works. The warband of Slaanesh is not adept at magic. If I’m not mistaken, with the Chaos Warband unable to please the Evil God for extended periods and no loot to gain, they would start infighting,” Laine took a silver spoon from the Lake Fairy’s hand, and together, human and god began beating the eggs.

”Exactly, Prince Sigwald led the Chaos Warband in the Cosque’s mountains for more than two weeks without seeing a single town or even an Elf.” The Lake Fairy’s emerald eyes sparkled, the humid air, and the heavy rain outside made her very pleased. ”No sacrifices, no glory, and repeatedly harassed, Sigwald lost control over the Chaos Warband. Every day he faced challenges from his own subordinates—miscellaneous Barbarian Champions and Chaos Lords—all issuing challenges. The Chaos Warband fell into internal strife. In just a few days, the number of Barbarian Champions killed by Prince Sigwald surpassed that of Adira’s guerrilla warfare achievements.”

”What an indisputable fool,” Laine deftly added white sugar and salt to the egg whites. ”If it were me, I’d choose to retreat at this point, but I understand Slaanesh’s kind. As Slaanesh’s Chosen Champion, Sigwald can tolerate defeat, but he won’t retreat. In contrast, Khorne’s Chosen Champions can tolerate retreats, but they won’t tolerate defeat.”

”Indeed, seeing the Chaos Warband already plunged into complete chaos, Sigwald had to engage in another champion duel with a Chaos Champion challenging him. Princess Adira believed the time was ripe. She led over a thousand Silver Helmet Knights and dozens of chariots in a surprise attack on the Chaos Warband, with thousands of troops following, utterly crushing the Chaos Warband. And just as the Chaos Warband was collapsing, Sigwald’s duel with that Chaos Champion was still ongoing...”

On the Lake Fairy’s divinely beautiful face appeared a slight hint of sarcasm. ”After this army was utterly defeated, Prince Sigwald finally cut down that Chaos Champion and then nonchalantly left the battlefield. Over a dozen Elves trying to stop him were killed on the spot by him. I attempted to cast a spell to hold him back, but Slaanesh’s blessing protected Sigwald, allowing him to leave calmly.”
