knowledge you might die I will not see my life hoard away without meaning do you hear me do you understand me Prince of cowards I want Vengeance against the Galaxy that hates us I want Imperial worlds

across this world I will burn every man woman and child so the smoke from the funeral pyre's eclipses the Sun with the dust that remains I will take the echo of damnation into the sacred skies above

disparate War bands across the Stars pledged to serve the prophet of the eighth talos's Legacy and that of his Primark are now ensured to recontold misery and Vengeance across the stars for it is a legacy the Imperium shall be hard-pressed to destroy he knew he was one of the slow children was the word his tutors used to describe the children that sat separate from the others and he knew he belonged with them in his class four of the children were slow already he formed the word in his mind with the same delicate emphasis the adults around him used when they said it and the four of them Sat by the window often completely ignoring the tutor's words yet never suffering punishment for it the boy sat with them the four for newest of the four and stared out of the window with the others cars passed in the night their front lamp stole to ease any strain on the eyes the clouded sky was hidden by Tower tops each Spire decorated by great illuminated signs selling whatever it was that adults felt they needed the boy turned back to his tutor for a while he listened to her speaking about language teach the other children the not slow children words that were new to them the boy didn't understand at all why were the words new to everyone he'd read them in his mother's books a dozen times before the tutor hesitated as she noticed him looking usually she ignored him forgetting he was there with casual practiced familiarity the boy didn't look away from her he wondered if she would try to teach him a new word as it happened she did she pointed to a word written across the flickering vid screen and asked him if he knew its meaning the boy didn't answer the boy only rarely answered his tutor he suspected it was why the adults called him slow as the chime pulsed once heralding the end of tuition for the night all the children Rose from the seats most of them packed writing pads away the slow ones put away scraps of paper with children's drawings the boy had nothing to pack for he'd done little but stare out of the window all evening this has been a tale of the great Imperium of man read by the remembrance sir Talos valcourin would act as a paragon to his Legion following in his primark's footsteps yet never forget that a martyr among murderers pining for justice is no true paragon no matter the circumstance or bravery for decimus's Reign shall be opposed and his Twisted quest for Vindication thwarted for the legacy of the night Lords is an affront to the Imperium and its ideals Unworthy of redemption or penance [Music] [Music] foreign
