【战锤40k同人作品翻译】 Ennui 第二十九章：揭晓 Revealed(13)
“Eldar breathe only lies, little sister,” the Superior spat. “They poison the soil of the Emperor’s faithful, they taint our holy purpose for their own meaningless ends.”
She took aim at me now. Where before, the weapons of my sisterhood had been trained mostly on Isarae, likely out of respect for the danger one of her kind represented, now the Sister Superior had leveled her own bolter squarely at my head.
“You have fallen, sister,” she spoke with dark solemnity, “but there is hope in the Emperor’s embrace… repent before your death, and your soul may still go to his light.”
I could feel Isarae tense behind me, and I flattened my hand in a dismissive gesture at her. She would not suffer to see me harmed any more than I would such done to her, but I could not allow it. I could not allow blood to be shed on either side.
“Isarae protected me,” I continued, ignoring her threat. “She washed my wounds and tended them, she cared for me while I recovered.” My sister’s auras were shifting. Where before their auras had a hard, golden edge to them, now they were crazed like cracking glass. “Not only that, but I also bear evidence upon my very body of a miracle of Saint Arabella, which I witnessed with my own eyes.”
