Agtrill, The Counterfeit Blade (The Award-Nominated Anthology Series) - Warhammer 40,000
DeehazelVO for Imhoratai
A Necron Overlord. Beaten down by the one counterfeit blade amongst Vaul's one-hundred swords, he survived an ancient Aeldari offensive by the virtue of the blade's imperfect nature. He has remained in the anvil reliquary, unable to destroy the smithing array, but stands prepared to defend it from being returned to their descendent Asuryani's hands.
Interlopers. Let this king express his appreciation for your visit.
You are impressed by broken relics and and the toys of shattered gods. How far you've fallen.
Yours is a doomed civilization. Our wars burned the stars - and I am happy to begin the great conflagration once more. The ground you walk on, the stones, the bone, will all burn. Your species will be reduced to ash, and I will pour you through my fingers with utter satisfaction.
