Ori

 

Fulgrim smiled as the morning sun warmed his face.  He and his religious brothers had been meditating all night next to the burial sight of their former leader.  As was custom with the Ori their leaders and other important people are buried with their weapons, armor, and any other technology which was invented by that person.

 

Fulgrim’s former leader and teacher was an excellent inventor and had developed a device that could terra-form parts of a planet in a matter of hours.  No one else was sure how it worked or how to activate it.  But somehow during the burial process the device was activated and now the whole area of the burial site was thick with green plants and young trees.  At this rate only a handful of Ori would know the location of this site.

 

Fulgrim remained seated for a few moments and then got to his feat, all of the other followers doing the same.  Fulgrim knew that as the new leader all of his brothers would follow him no matter what.  It was a heavy burden and Fulgrim was not sure he could bear it.

 

They all began moving towards the hidden Star Gate when a flash of light caught Fulgrim’s eye.  He watch in amazement as two flying obects collided with each other in a fiery explosion.  Without having to think about it Fulgrim knew that other galactic races had found the planet the Ori had been using as a shrine world.  He knew it would not be long before these races began fighting over what this planet had to offer.  Fulgrim thought for a moment about what could and could not be done.

 

There was no way Fulgrim and his brothers could move all of the burial chambers and other technologic secrets from this world in time.  He and his brothers would first need to try and convince the invading races to leave the burial locations alone.  If that did not work the Ori would have to use some of the buried weapons and technology to defend the areas they call sacred.
