HH荷鲁斯叛乱14《异端初现》渣翻1(14)
‘Don’t. Touch. Me.’
With a hissed curse, the old woman returned to her prayers.
Cyrene took a deep breath, seeking to slow her frenetic pulse. The air heated her throat, prickling at her tongue with the charcoal spice of thruster smoke. So they had returned. The angels of the God-Emperor had returned to the perfect city.
She didn’t feel the rush of reverence. Nor did she fall to her knees and thank the God-Emperor for his angels’ second coming. Cyrene Valantion stared at the vulture hull of the iron craft, while one question burned behind her eyes.
‘They have returned,’ the old woman murmured again. ‘They have returned to us.’
‘Yes,’ said Cyrene. ‘But why?’
Movement from the craft came without warning. Thick doors clanged wide and a ramp juddered downon squealing pneumatics. Between gasps and nervous weeping, the worshipful chanting grew louder. The people intoned prayers from the Word,and the last of those standing finally dropped totheir knees. Cyrene was the only person left on her feet.
The first of the angels stepped from the thinningsmoke cloud. Cyrene stared at the figure, her eyes narrowing despite the exalted rightness of the moment. A sliver of ice wormed through her blood.
