but he wasn't finished he had scripture of his own to quote it is written by scryer dianthon and thus driven from holy Terror and reigning forevermore in the Underworld the sons of Horus the treacherous 16th became the black Legion ah suddenly it all made sense from shame and shadows recast I said softly the words for myself alone in black and gold Reborn what I told you before the beginning there was an end the sons of Horus never reigned in the eye their ghost commanded nothing but graveyards of their own warships their Shades ruled over Fallen fortresses the sons of Horus died ten thousand of your years ago I know I watched it happen they were the 16th Legion but the black Legion was not founded by the emperor and never fought in his name it Bears no number numbers
