Warhammer Chapter 99 Alt POV
🕑 Added 2024-02-23 19:35:36 +0000 UTCArya of the two folded path, of souls reborn and the light returned. Sat with her twin sister inhabiting the doll body their master had refined for her soul to take control over as she sat across from a small group of blue-skinned tau that had been sent to the Sect to learn their secrets.
'More like they have been sacrificed to see what evils may lie within this Sect.' Sarvari spoke into her mind and Arya smiled as she once too thought this Sect was just another cult that would lead their souls to some terrible end.
But she could happily say that she and her sister had been proven wrong and even though with each passing day, they had more and more issues using their great Wraithknight due to her sisters soul becoming more and more alive. She would be happily to leave that Wraithknight in the dirt if she had her twin sibling back.
"Now, as new disciples of the Heavenly Principals Sect, you will first of all learn the mind-clearing hymns. They will become the foundation for clearing your mind of foreign influence and allow you to see the world more clearly as your souls are invigorated." Arya spoke as she pointed to the rows of different styled hymns that followed different themes in mental cleansing.
But Arya was honestly... A bit dubious as to the talents of these Tau in the spiritual arts. As although her Patriarch and master were an outlier along with a few humans having near Eldari talents. Her fellow Eldar had begun already overtaking their fellow human disciples with their greater mental and spiritual control to be more efficient in their cultivation to say nothing of their greater patience.
'Their souls aren't even like humans in being a candle within the Empyrean... Their souls are so weak that I literally cannot sense them at all.' Arya thought with some disquiet.
But she was given the duty of introducing the new Tau disciples into the Sect by her master and she wouldn't fail him. He who had stolen their birth goddess from the Lord of Rot and Decay. And the one who brought life to her forgotten womb once again giving their race hope.
"Now, my master has enlightened me that your race works in a caste system, and in that theme these hymns will also fit into those Caste systems as for the Earth Caste there is the Golden Mountain Song, Hymn that will enhance the bodies recover from hard training and work. While there is also the War Drums Hymn that will induce an enhanced rush for warriors to fight harder and have their perception of time slow down while reciting it." She spoke and then went further in outlining more of the hymns carefully.
And after a while she asked if anyone had any questions and one of the air caste members raised a hand and asked with some excitement. "When will we be able to fly without any battlesuits or aircraft under our own power?"
Arya's face became a softer smile as that was a good question and after a moment of thought she answered as though reciting from memory. "Natural flight under your own power is only possible for when you reach the Earth stage of Cultivation in which the density and purity of your accumulated spiritual energy will be greater than the gravity of the world allowing you to reject the words gravity itself. You could also commission a magic treasure that allows you to fly as well."
And to prove her words, she opened up her pride and joy in her spatially expanded bag that her master gave her and took out a large orange brick that she carefully floated in to front of her and as the disciples look at the unmistakable brick she activated the arrays within the magical treasure making the brick grow in size until it was five meters wide and tall making the Tau make noises of surprise as she said.
"A magical tool can do anything you desire as my master gave me this tool, its called the Cosmic Brick and so long as I have enough spiritual energy I can make it endlessly grow in size and mass to smash into things and act as a shield!"
The Earth Caste Tau had their eyes all but gleaming as one asked quickly. "Can you also make mechs, or other machines that will do tasks for you?"
Arya's face twitched up into a smug smile as she remembered her blacksmith friend/rivals face as he was screaming in anguish at the highly detailed doll he made to made make fun of her sister's ghostly form and that he somehow fell in love with broke during one of their Tyrranid hunts when the doll saved him from a particularly stealthy Lichtor.
"Yes, they are called dolls or automatons, but yes they are a thing and our headblacksmith besides our master is an accomplished doll maker... He has very refined tastes in his dolls you could say." Arya said mischievously but then she coughed and continued more seriously. "Now, I will lead you all to the Steele library so you all can pick out some body refinement and cultivation techniques."

I can't stop 😆 at Jake giving a lewd space elf a flying brick and her being proud of it😂
Azazyel
Wat no. Its pointed to Jake knocking up Isha
Goddess of Victory
"And the one who brought life to her forgotten womb once again" when did that happen?! How can you just insert a one liner that basically amounts to 'oh, by the way, Jake has been knocking up the elf twins'?
Azazyel
No. But Gundams are the Tau's bread and butter
Rauko the varment
Tell me, Did Jake make a gundam?
ReadingShades
A noble cause indeed
Azekno
I'm pretty sure that when he gets better and uses more exotic materials for the dolls, the doll can gain life and sentience. So he can make a waifu
Azazyel
A waifu is a waifu. No matter their appearance and texture
Hmm is it time
Thanks for the chapter.

Ah that blacksmith is indeed a man of culture... Doll maker blacksmiths would probably start a crusade against the machine in the Nier world... Where they gently but firmly subdue, seduce and pamper the machine into playing nice because both the androids and the machines would be works of art in their eyes (conventional and abstract, I think)
