BLOOD OF THE COVENANT
By Aaron Dembski-Bowden
The Princess
Niah’cara was royal-born, and had been falling
ever since. To some, she was the Huntress of the
Scarlet Heavens. To others, she was an unfolding
lesson into the dangers of ego and delusion.
These detractors, of which there were many,
called her the Princess of Dust. The Path of the
Outcast had not been kind to her, but it had been
unkinder still to her enemies. They lay dead. She
did not.
Niah’cara answered the summons when it came,
dressing in robes of layered silk cut in the colours
of her fallen Craftworld. As she made her way to
the Farseer’s chambers, she mused on one notion
above all:
The mon-keigh cannot be trusted.
She had been told so many times along the
continuum of years, and perhaps it was as true
now as it had always been. Niah’cara was born
before the galaxy tore itself in two, when one half
was left to bleed and sicken and rot in rebellion.
She had dealt with humans many times before the
dawn of these dark days. She had faced them in
the cold of the void, overseeing their destruction
from a bridge of wraithbone beneath the great
fi
ns of solar sails. She had fought them in the
shadows of their ruined cities, hunting them as
prey, sometimes needing to clean their stinking,
primordial blood from her cameleoline cloak.
But everything changed with the rupturing of
the night sky. Her kin-band still spat the word
mon-keigh,
but that curse was losing its acid edge.
Her people were past the point where they could
freely indulge in the luxury of mistrust.
To stand alone was to die alone. And so, Niah’cara
was chosen. She would journey in the company of
those whose blood she would once have spilled.
They had not yet told her this, nor could she read
it in the turning of fate’s wheel. But she did not
need foresight to know how it would all play out.
Someone must go, and the logic of that decision
led straight to her. Others would go in time… but
someone must go
fi
rst.
That was why she had
been summoned.
She approached Farseer Vyriah in his meditative
garden, her tread silent on the wraithbone
pathway that wound between the precious
fl
ora. Indulging herself, she ran her ungloved
fi
ngers along the frond of an orange fern, the
plant lovingly cultivated from Exodite cuttings,
reseeded century after century when inevitable
age or misfortune took the tree’s life. Vyriah
had always been most diligent in the care
and preservation of his onboard gardens. The
arched walls of pale wraithbone reached up to
a transparent dome, cradling it, letting the light
of the heavens glow upon the botanical garden.
And above that dome, the stars waited. Choked in
the miasma of the warp-poison that stained the
skies and cut the galaxy in half, but shining still,
for a while longer at least. No others of Niah’cara’s
kin-band claimed chambers of such meticulous
beauty, even if that beauty had, for decades, been
blighted by celestial horror.
The seer knelt in repose, eyes closed in reflection,
but Niah’cara saw through the illusion of his
serenity. The faint tension in his shoulders
betrayed him as openly as a spoken confession.
She approached without speaking, inclining her
head as she took the seventh and eighth steps,
as custom dictated. His voice outweighed hers in
matters pertaining to the ship’s function, but she
owed him no bow. She was, after all, royalty.
Vyriah’s eyes opened. His face lifted to regard
hers, and he rose to his feet a moment later.
When he greeted her by title as well as name,
her curiosity awakened. When he bowed to her,
lower than tradition’s mandate, she recognised
the degree of his politeness for what it was.
