Commander
Tik’ta’cha kneeled and bowed his scaled head. His mind was awhirl. It was hard to focus, as
when he stayed out in the sun on a hot summer’s day. He tensed with alarm as the smell of hated
ratmen filled the area. He held his
position, though, as his lord and g-d the dreaded Loq-Kai had commanded. Tik’ta’cha tried to remember what he was
doing before the filthy smell entered his mind. Vaguely he recalled the Slann sending him out
with a contingent of his army to investigate a vision, a premonition that the
ratmen would be attack a spawning pit.
Tik’ta’cha despised the filthy ratmen and the way they corrupted
everything they touched. He would
proudly remove them from the face of his jungle and purge their nests below.
Warlord
Squelch repressed a snicker. The lizard-thing
was actually bowing to him, kneeling in loyalty. Squelch’s tail whipped with pleasure,
knocking the helms of the stormvermin below him. His mind whirled with the possibilities, of
the promises given to him by the floppy man-thing head gear he had found in a
ruined above ground cave. And such glory
it had promised him; the power beyond that of a greyseer, a seat at the head of
the council of thirteen, and warpstone… wonderful, powerful, glorious
warpstone. With the power bestowed upon
him, rightfully of course, Squelch would conquer all of Skavenblight and then
the surface world. But first the
man-thing that spoke into his mind required the enslavement and destruction of
the lizard-things, something that Squelch was more than happy to achieve. He could feel the power coursing through his
body as he bent the will of the lizard-thing to his own. Soon he would have full control of the
lizard-thing and through him, his minions.
He would send them back against their master, cleansing their breeding
pits and then their temple, claiming it as his own… and he would feast, and it
would be glorious.
