【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第二十四章:宣泄 Unleashed(12)
He did not protect Mikasa, who hand-copied hundreds of holy works that otherwise would have been lost during the Tambol Rebellions
Did He even protect me? Was it the God-Emperor, or was it Isarae?
“Why?” I hugged Isarae tighter. “Why could he not protect you?”
“You know why…” her voice was barely a whisper. “I am… Druchi.”
“But you are good!” My tears fell freely across her as I stroked her arms and kissed her forehead, trying to keep her warmth with me for just a little bit longer. “You are worthy of being saved so why does He not-!”
My words died on my tongue as a notion occurred to me, one that was perhaps even more heretical than all of my previous thoughts combined. It was a thought that would have had me in chains at the mere mention of it to another of the Imperial Creed.
Why does the God-Emperor protect me?
The Cardinals of the Ecclesiarchy would have given me the simplest answer; it is because the God-Emperor loves all martyrs, and because I have prayed to him, and invoked His name, and begged His guidance and protection.
