===The End of a Civilization===

The Primarch learned more of the world of Kos as he destroyed it. The inhabitants of the world were once a people of great science and reason, their lives prosperous thanks to the use of sophisticated machines. But as their prosperity increased, the people of Kos grew placid. Their civilization lost the Warp tech that allowed for inter-stellar travel during the Age of Strife, and the closest target for space colonization was aeons away, unreachable with their available tech.

Still the people of Kos did not despair. Throwing themselves in the study of the Warp, they made a planet wide effort to reclaim the lost secrets of Warp Travel. However as the research went on, the people of Kos realized how much of a miracle the discovery and mastery of it was. Stuck on the way to progress, the Kos grew more and more desperate, accomplishing more and more dangerous experiments, until one of them worked.

====The Discovery of the Being====

One of the scientist group of Kos managed to open and contain a Portal through the Warp. But as the ripping of Reality happened, the scientists were able to see what they were never meant to see. Still the knowledge of the Warp was theirs, the scientists came back to their people and announced the way to cross the stars they had discovered. A ritual of blood was to be performed, and those who would partake in it would be flung across the stars to a new world.

The price was heavy for people who prized themselves on reason, to sacrifice one of their owns in what could be considered the equivalent of magic?? Yet no other solution had been find, and the Kos were so desperate that they decided to give it a try.

When the first ritual happened, the Kos were forever changed. That day, the people witnessed a thing of such beauty that they were to be forever altered by it. A being came from the portal that erupted, and summoned those who volunteered for the travel to him. The being promised that the volunteers would be transported to a new world of absolute beauty and pleasure far away in the stars. The Kos had succeeded, their kin would leave the ground of their homeworld and once again settle new horizons.

=====The Rituals=====

The ritual was to be performed once in a while, but as more and more of the rituals happened the higher was the blood price asked by the being. And as he was summoned the more its corruption spread through the people of Kos, making them more and more inclined to the pursuit of pleasure, beauty, and happiness. Their science was forgotten for it had come to a stage were it could forever sustain them, the fate of the volunteers was disregarded as the being inspired oblivious trust from the people of Kos, and slowly the people of Kos descended into the pursuit of pleasure enrapturing the world with the works of arts the Fangs were now destroying, and the songs the Fangs were now silencing.

Ho-Sun now understood how the people of the planet had fallen to such a state. A shame, the Primarch thought, if they had waited they would have been brought back into the Imperium of his Father and been re-united with the lost secret of Warp travel. But still one question remained, the sword, what was its role in all of this?

Vauna told the Primarch the truth, it was one of the instruments used in the ritual to summon the portal and the Being.

What Vauna did not tell the Primarch was that she was actually the Being that was to be summoned, shaped in a form where she could directly taste her offerings.

Soon enough, the destruction of Kos was achieved. The Primarch with the sword reduced the world of Kos to a mountain of ashes, the sword helped well in this achievement, the Primarch learned really fast how to wield the sword to devastating effects. But as the destruction of Kos was nearing its end, the sword grew silent. The Primarch was a bit alarmed by it for a moment, but then paid no further attention to it.

Their mission fulfilled, the Dragon Fangs, their Primarch, and its prize left the world of Kos forever.
