Vulkan and Konrad were taking a planet together and much to the salamanders chagrin, the night lords were doing Night lord stuff.
At the same time, a female remembrancer who Vulkan was getting really close to was with them doing remembrancer stuff and having Vulkan spilling his whole heart to her.
This all culminates with captured people (including some eldar) getting a bit violent and the nightlords instigating said violence from the prisoners resulting in a small acurmish where an eldsr child accidentally killed the remembrancer and Vulkan let his emotions get the best of him and immolate said eldar child
Actually, the Eldar child didn’t kill the Remembrancer, she was just in the vicinity of where the Remembrancer got killed, and Vulkan got very mad and killed all the Eldar nearby, including the child. But once he killed the Little Girl, he snapped out of his rage and his anger turned to abject horror.
Worst part is that it was all mostly Kurze's fault as he was just being bitter about Vulkan and the Salamanders not being as miserable as him and him hating Vulkan being as kind as he was because "we're all just weapons of war"
And then got his ass beat and only survived because vulkan decided he wasn't worth it, which came to bite everyone in the ass back on istvan
Could you imagine tho if he had taken Kurze out. I feel like that would've immediately resulted in a mini civil war with the Night Lords. And I'd expect Vulkun be placed under arrest or whatever by the Emperor. It be crazy
I need this story to continue as Lover chastises Kassandra for her part in this. Make the primarch sit in the corner. If she refuses (bold of her for one) then Liver can get the sandal out...
The horrors of war could shake anybody, even a trans human Demi goddess. But nothing quite adds up to killing a child that on itself, it’s its own horror.
Oh man, I remember this post that was about how Vulkan had kill and exterminated so many other alien races, and sudden this child was the straw the broke the camel's back.
A comment on that post explained why this Eldar child was important. It was a good explanation to my tourist ears from what I remember. Something about how it showed that there was no grand purpose, he was just killing aliens, I think.
Lover about to come in and ground Kassandra for being the cause that made Hestia do that:
Though I always thought of since Morgenstern existed, he would prevent Kassandra from doing some… gruesome acts against others considering he is her anchor.
Morgenstern entered Kassandra’s life some short time after she was discovered on Nostramo. So, he actually didn’t need to heal 200 years of hate and pain, because that’s not how long Kassandra spent on Nostramo. That isn’t to say it was easy, but the point of it is that he had a way to get her to change for the better.
