【战锤40k同人作品翻译】 Ennui 第二十五章:光芒 Light(11)

“God-Emperor who is grace! God-Emperor who is mighty!” Alessandra bellowed her praises to the sky with the fervor of a true believer. “Your daughter begs thee, though it be not thy creed nor command, please! Father, please! Spare my love from the maw of disaster! Spare her from the jaws of Chaos and death!”
My limbs trembled in a manner that had nothing to do with the weakness of my body. The shake of my arms and legs, and the loose clench of my bowels was born of nothing short of sheer, primordial terror.
I could feel it… feel Him bearing down upon me. In a way I almost wished it was She Who Thirsts because at least that being was something I understood to an extent. I knew where I stood with the apocalypse of my people, but this being, this soul was truly…
Alien.
I am afraid.
