Xalfalai emerged from the webway gate with another ranger and at once they scanned the surroundings with their helmet's auspex. Nothing was amiss and he removed his conic helmet of blue and yellow, exposing an elongated face with a pale complexion, dark almond shaped eyes and long silky hair of a light brown. Breathing in, he looked around.
« So this is Orgah? It is not much to look at Eliandra. » Xalfalai spoke in melodious tones dripping with contempt.
His companion also removed her helmet, revealing a face with many similar features, if only more feminine and with dark hair.
« Nevertheless, the relic is on this world, as the Farseer fortold. Our task is clear. » The female Eldar replied in a similar musical voice, but devoid of emotions. Xalfalai nodded and tested the sights on his long rifle, there was not much else to do, but centurial beings were nothing if not patient.
Half a rotation later, Xalfalai noted that the wait was over. Two figures clad in a mesh armor of blue and yellow, covered with a camouflage cloak, emerged from the brush. One moment they were invisible, the next they appeared in plain view. Such was the ability of Eldar Rangers, unsurpassed in stealth and cunning.
« So? » Xalfalai asked them curtly.
The first of the two replied. « It is as the Farseer said, the world in overrun by the greenskins. The Orks have amassed a large Waaagh and strike, in typical fashion, without strategy or plan at the many settlements of this world. »
« But there is another force present here. » Interjected the second. « The Mon-keigh tainted by the warp are also here, we know not their motives, but we suspect they seek the same relic we do. »
Xalfalai frowned, these minor inconviniences, while inconsequential alone, might pose a threat if combined. « What of the humans of this world? »
« They fight valiantly » Answered the first of the two Eldars. « But they are doomed to failure, even if they do not yet know it. The forces amassed against them are too numerous and they are too primitive to devise a stratagem which could save them. »
Xalfalai stood thoughtful for a moment, before slipping on his helmet once more. « We will use the struggle of these Mon-keigh as cover for our operation. They will never know... » The Eldar stopped as his companions looked to the skies. Drop pods were descending upon the atmosphere of Orgah bearing the false God Emperor's children, the Space Marines.
« Fools! » Eliandra intoned.
« They are children. » One of the Rangers continued.
« They do not understand. » The other replied.
« Their meddling changes nothing. » Xalfalai finished. « For Alaitoc. »
« For Alaitoc. » The other three responded in unison.
In an unmarked clearing of the planet Orgah, four lithe figures disappeared into the thick woods.

) Around that time, schoolwork started piling up and I paid less attention to the game. I gave a few late (and very brief) commands ordering a move towards the city.
