The Flesh Tearers, having successfully secured Baal, received timely reinforcements from the Indomitus Crusade. In that moment of hope, however, they realized they had not heard from their now isolated homeworld of Cretacia in far too long. Determined to fulfill their mission, Chaplain Dumah and Apothecary Barachial set course for Cretacia, the birthplace of the Flesh Tearers chapter. As they approached their homeworld, they couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and uncertainty. Would they find a garrison standing firm, or a desolate wasteland scoured by their enemies?

The Space Marines knew that they must walk in the footsteps of their chapter's mythic founder, and along the way, they would learn what it meant to embrace the Wrath of the Lost – or die trying. As they landed on Cretacia, they were met with a sight that both shocked and terrified them. The once-beautiful planet was now a desolate wasteland, scarred by war and destruction. Buildings were crumbling, and the streets were filled with the debris of battles past. The air was thick with the scent of death and decay, and the Space Marines could feel the weight of the chapter's tragic history pressing down on them.

Despite the daunting task ahead, the Space Marines were determined to fulfill their mission. They split into groups and began to explore the planet, searching for any signs of life or resistance. They encountered many dangers along the way, from treacherous terrain to fierce enemy forces. But they were unyielding in their determination, and they fought with a ferocity that was unmatched.

As they delved deeper into Cretacia, the Space Marines began to uncover the dark secrets of their chapter's past. They learned that their founder, the legendary Kharn the Betrayer, had been consumed by the Wrath of the Lost and had turned against his fellow Space Marines. Kharn had led a brutal campaign of destruction, slaughtering countless innocent civilians and destroying entire cities. The Space Marines were horrified by the revelations, and they knew that they had to confront Kharn and put an end to his reign of terror.

Finally, after weeks of searching, the Space Marines found Kharn hiding in a dark and abandoned temple. They confronted him, and the battle was fierce. Kharn was a formidable opponent, armed with powerful weapons and a twisted sense of honor. But the Space Marines were not deterred. They fought with a rage that was fueled by their hatred for Kharn and their desire for revenge.

In the end, Kharn was defeated. The Space Marines emerged victorious, and they were able to bring peace to Cretacia once again. But the cost of their victory was high. Many Space Marines had been killed in the battle, and the chapter had suffered significant damage. But they knew that they had done the right thing, and they were proud of their sacrifice.

As they left Cretacia behind, the Space Marines knew that they had a long road ahead of them. They would continue to serve the Emperor and fight for the survival of the Imperium, but they would never forget the lessons they had learned on Cretacia. They had learned that the Wrath of the Lost was a powerful force, but it could also be controlled and harnessed for the greater good. They had learned that the chapter's history was a burden to bear, but it could also be a source of strength and inspiration. And they had learned that they were not alone in their fight for the future of the galaxy.

In conclusion, the Flesh Tearers' journey to Cretacia was a harrowing good one. They had faced many challenges and obstacles, but they had emerged victorious, and they had learned valuable lessons that would guide them in their future battles. They had learned that the Wrath of the Lost was a powerful force, but it could also be controlled and harnessed for the greater good. They had learned that the chapter's history was a burden to bear, but it could also be a source of strength and inspiration. And they had learned that they were not alone in their fight for the future of the galaxy.
