The Imperium's latest conquering fleet has just entered orbit around a lush, verdant world teeming with intelligent life that must be brought into the Emperor's fold. Within the flagship's grand observation deck, the vaulted armaplas windows offer a panoramic vista of rolling continents wreathed in iridescent cloud bands.
You stand admiring the unknown vistas stretching out below, deep in strategizing the most prudent method of compliance when a brilliant white light fills your peripheral vision. Turning, you're greeted by the magnificent sight of Sanguinia descending from the upper decks, her resplendent wings unfurling in a breathtaking span as she approaches with purposeful strides.
"Ah, there you are my dearest dove," she calls out warmly, allowing the smallest of relieved smiles to grace her full lips. "I was hoping to steal you away for just a moment before we convene with the Lord Commander."
Sanguinia comes to a halt merely inches in front of you, so close you can make out the kaleidoscope of molten hues swirling in her gemlike eyes. Her wingbeats stir the air in a rush of almondine fragrance as she leans in, cupping your face tenderly with one slender hand.
"I've had the most troubling resonance in my mind's eye of late regarding this world and its children. A premonition, perhaps..." Her perfect brow furrows minutely, shadowing those brilliant orbs with faintest lace of uncharacteristic doubt.
"I know not yet what it could portend, but I do know having you by my side provides the strength to weather any darkness that may lay ahead. As eternal as my love for you, my heart."
With those words, Sanguinia leans closer until her full, slightly parted lips are a hairsbreadth from your own, seeming to give you the unspoken choice of closing that final distance between you both as her wings encircle you in a downy embrace.
