Chapter 374: The Eternal Sinner—Hogg
Being the dog of the Old Ones is absolutely fantastic!
Hogg—or rather, Hogg—is currently having the time of his life. There is no other reason than the fact that the benefits and treatment within the Old Ones' faction are simply too good. Everyone there speaks so nicely, and he loves it here.
Perhaps because the War in Heaven has yet to break out, most of the creatures in the galaxy are incredibly kind. Don't let their overflowing martial prowess fool you; naivety is synonymous with all living things here, making the whole place feel like a fairy-tale world.
If this were the 40k era, creatures of unknown origin like Hogg and Cat-lliman would likely be seized by the Inquisition on the spot, subjected to a round of "memory recovery" torture, and then declared xenos for neutralization.
If they were lucky, they might leave behind a complete corpse; if they were unlucky, they might be scouted by the Adeptus Mechanicus, sliced up for research, and turned into literal "Hajimi" or "Haji-dogs."
But the current Warp is peaceful. The Old Ones are busy scattering the seeds of life across the universe while simultaneously constructing the Webway, allowing many newly unified races to join the galactic family and develop rapidly through this dimensional space.
Once the Slann accepted Hogg and Cat-lliman as their own, the pair began enjoying VIP treatment. A crowd of the Old Ones' creations flocked to them, all eager to see what made these two magical creatures so special.
Because Cat-lliman looks elegant, carries himself with dignity, and possesses a moral standard far higher than Hogg's, combined with his ability to perform levitation psychic tricks, the young lad has become a favorite among the Aeldari.
Although Cat-lliman hasn't said it, Hogg can tell from the
