After regaining his true form, again vested as befits a Primarch, Draco took his flagship Manu ad Bellum back through time to before he was cast out. To that time when the great Crusad was only beginning to gain momentum. To before the was a Warmaster and the Chaos Gods were but dark whispers, a menace barely felt, and ill understood.
He found his Brother Manus the Iron-handed in the Xyxal system, where Draco had hope to find chapters of the 11th. But Draco had been three years delayed, and the 10th had long since helped the 11th clear the system.
When Draco spoke to his brother of the difficulties he had seen ahead, and the foul thing that would be done to their sister, Manus confessed to caring little for her. What was 1 girl to the unity of 19 brothers? And if the Father willed it, who were his sons to go against his wishes?
Nevertheless, he agreed to speak up and stand with Draco if push came to shove, and at least voice his support. The friendship of the 10th and the 11th were further cemented by Draco's fine gifts of technology.
