Shortly afterwards, reports began to spread that Islumbine flowers were growing in patches throughout [[Ghereppan]]'s nearby lands. No one could explain how this could be, as [[Urdesh]]'s ecosystem was not suitable for the Islumbine to grow in. It would later seem as if [[Saint Sabbat]] was somehow responsible, after a [[Sons of Sek]] [[Wirewolf]] became entangled within a Islumbine patch. Despite being strong enough to knock a [[Space Marine]] of his feet, the [[Daemonic]] Wirewolf could not free itself. This allowed the [[Iron Snakes]] [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Xander (Iron Snakes)|Xander]], of [[Damocles Squad]], to easily destroy the Daemon. When he then grabbed a branch of the Islumbine patch, however, it easily broke off in his hands. After seeing this, Xander could not understand how the Wirewolf was unable to free itself and began to throw the branch away.
He suddenly decided not to, though, and instead placed the Islumbine branch in a top socket of his [[Power ArmorArmour]]'s reactor pack. The socket normally held a [[Space Marine Standards|banner-stave]], during the Iron Snakes ceremonies, and caused the branch's Islumbines to frame the Sergeant's helmet like a wreath. Xander immediately felt better having the branch near him, though, he could not explain why{{Fn|1c}}. When Saint Sabbat later fought a group of [[Chaos Space Marines]], she began casting a glow of green light. Xander was among the Iron Snakes fighting besides her, and the [[Imperial Saint|Saint]]'s presence seemed to cause his Islumbines to begin glowing with a light of their own.{{Fn|1d}}
