Their path chosen, the chaotic rot spread quickly, from Fulgrim to his lieutenants, the Lord Commanders of the [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], then to company and squad leaders, and finally all but a bare handful of Marines followed Slaanesh rather than the Emperor. Perfection became perfect hedonism. When the loyalist legions arrived in the Isstvan system, the Emperor's Children were at the forefront of the fighting, aiding in the massacre of their former brethren. During the infamous [[Drop Site Massacre]], Fulgim and Ferrus Manus met once again, and had their final and fateful duel. Fulgrim proved the victor, but discovered he could not bring himself to kill his brother. It was at this point that the [[daemon]] bound within the [[Laeran]] blade fully exerted itself, and Ferrus Manus was struck dead. Fulgrim was shocked into clear-thinking by the death of his brother, aghast at what he had done and at the horrific betrayal and carnage around him. In a further moment of weakness he agreed to the daemon's offer to send him to oblivion and allowed the warp-creature to escape from the sword. It took but a moment for it to posses him body and soul, trapping his consciousness in tiny corner of his mind. From that moment on, Fulgrim became a prisoner in his own form, his existence fully controlled by the Slaaneshi daemon.
