【战锤40k同人作品翻译】 Ennui 第二十六章：重生 Reborn(19)
“Something like that,” Isarae replied, and I fell in love with that gentle accent of hers all over again. The fever may have had something to do with that.
Slowly and reverently, Isarae opened the book, and as she did I realised with a small pang of anguish that I could not see any of the words on the page. The definition of the light cast from Isarae was enough to show me the body of the tome, but nothing more. In that sense, and a few others, I was truly blind, although my understanding was that there was a kind of tactile language certain priests used who eschewed implants.
Perhaps I would ask after that one day, and until then I had Isarae.
I watched as her deft fingers, like shimmering digits of sunlight, peeled open the cover, flattened the first page, and then held it steady as she cleared her throat.
“Rejoice, O’ children, for God walks among us,” Isarae began, and I felt my heart swell almost to bursting in an instant. “The Light stands before us, and the Way is made open to us all…”
She wasn’t reading just any book. She was reading a book from my personal effects. Isarae was reading to me from the Primer Ecclesiasticus; the Holy Word of the Imperial Creed.
