【战锤40k同人作品翻译】 Ennui 第二十五章：光芒 Light(23)

“Do you love me?” Alessa whispered, and I heard it even through the storm that raged in my bones. “Isarae… do you love me?”
I worked my jaw around the electric anguish that kept every muscle and tendon taut. Not even the wrath of a God would keep me silent against that question.
“N-Now… and f-forever… m-my Alessa.”
“THEN ENDURE!” Alessa commanded against the endless roar that had become my existence.
I screamed again, this time in defiance, my mouth filling with the taste of copper and bile. I forced my eyes open again, and I focused my hate, my pain, and every ounce of my rage into a glare aimed up at the poisoned soul that hung thrashing and raging above me.

I hated it.
Hated her.
She had stolen my life from me; she was everything that was eating away at the soul of my race, everything that had toppled the towers of the Aeldarii Empire. She was excess and spite, depravity and degeneracy.
And although I could not deny that she was me, I could choose, here and now, that I would never again be her.
I could choose to do better.
To be better.
I could choose my Alessandra.
