==Cover Story Description{{Fn|1}}==For more than two hundred years, the armies of the [[Emperor of Mankind]] [[Great Crusade|fought ]] to reconquer the [[galaxy]] — led by the superhuman [[primarch]]s, the [[Space Marine Legion]]s brought countless worlds back under the rule of ancient [[Terra]]. Now [[Horus]], once honoured [[Warmaster]] and favoured son of the Emperor, has been corrupted by the whispered promises of [[Chaos]]. At his command the [[Imperium ]] is torn apart by [[Horus Heresy|a terrible and bloody civil war]], the likes of which the galaxy has never seen... At the Emperor's command were the [[Space Wolves|Wolves of Russ]] unleashed, but it is by the will of Horus alone that [[Prospero]] [[Battle of Prospero|now burns]]. The VIth Legion have stormed the world of [[Magnus the Red]], with venerable warriors of the Thirteenth [[Great Company]] always to be found where the fighting is at its most bloody, seeking to write their own names into the sagas of [[Fenris]]. But the [[Thousand Sons]] are far from defeated, and their foul sorcery may yet be the doom of all, deep within the maddening heart of the [[Portal Maze]].
==Synopsis==
As the [[Burning of Prospero]] begins, [[Bulveye]], [[Praetor (Rank)|Jarl]] of [[13th Great Company|Dekk-Tra]], is recalled from a crusade fleet to rejoin the forces of the [[Space Wolves]] to aid in the battle against the [[Thousand Sons]]. Leading a contingent of legionaries into the depths of [[Tizca]], they clash against a group of [[sorcerer]]s led by [[Izzakar Orr]]. During the battle, Orr manages to escape through an enigmatic portal that shimmers with a golden hue. Deciding the follow, Bulveye leads his forces into pursuit. The portal leads to a an interconnected system of unending gates that connect across hundreds of worlds through the [[warp]], yet every time they use the portals, they risk destabilizing and damaging its structure, which leads to temporal loops and spatial anomalies. Realizing they are now in a warp-maze, the Space Wolves suffer loses as they struggle to find the way out. Finally, they encounter Orr and his group of sorceress paralyzed in time as they fought against other Space Wolves. Without a way out, Orr explains that the portals are in danger of collapsing and trapping them forever inside the warp, so he offers to surrender himself for the sake of both parties to find a way out. Bulveye refuses, arguing that the orders of [[Leman Russ]] were clear. He proceeds to execute Orr with a plasma shot to the chest. As Orr falls, he condemns their folly, for now they will be trapped forever inside the unstable portal system. Bulveye roared with laughter, commanding the rest of his forces to search for the lost Space Wolves, and destroy any remaining Thousand Sons. {{Fn|2}}
