a Wolf cast out from the pack can never relent in its quest for vengeance govio said Horus and he turned to see the war Master holding out his gauntlet don't hate me for what's happened why shouldn't I hate you said Logan you did the worst things that anyone can do to another person you let us believe we were loved and valued then showed us it was all a lie Hora shook his head but his hand remained outstretched behind him a crenellated warship passed over the face of the Moon the Eye of Horus adorned its prowl but it was a crude thing painted on like graffiti come back to me my son we can rebuild what was lost between us renew our bonds of Fellowship I want you at my side as I reforge the Imperial menu Logan looked back at the warriors on their knees behind him men he'd called brother in the darkest of times he looked into their eyes seeing their Defiance and more Rubio's fists were clenched and the tension and Vortex neck was like a straining machine about to throw a gear he saw the cold eyes of brought to your finger upon him and remembered the words he had spoken at their first meeting I think if your roots are weak I'll kill you myself he gave an almost imperceptible nod to his fellows and took a step away from the war master feeling the threads of loyalty and Brotherhood that bound him to this moment pulled tight part of me wishes I could sir said Logan believe me I want the warmth that being part of something greater brings I want to belong I had that with the legion but you took that away from me when you stabbed us all in the back no said Horus God you'll know that's not but Logan wasn't about to stop now turning my back on everything I knew being cut off from a legion that made me who I am that was the worst moment of my life it drove me insane more than tariq's death or being buried alive on istvan it was the Heartbreak and yawning emptiness that finally broke me come back to me Garfield said Horus feel that warmth again don't you want to be part of the greatest Endeavor the galaxy has ever seen I already was said Logan turning his back on Horus it was called the Great Crusade this has been a tale of the great Imperium of man read by the remembrance sir it has been a year since we first elucidated garvio Loken and began the chronicles of remembrance let his story remind us of our strength our will and indomitable loyalty no matter the might of our enemies or their honeyed words we shall remain human and never fall to the lure of chaos nor it's accursed champions [Music] [Music]
