【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第二十四章:宣泄 Unleashed(13)
In short: because I asked.
But who would dare to ask the Emperor to protect the soul of a xenobreed warrioress.
Except I already had. Cycles ago when I had prayed to the Emperor in desperation in this very room I had dared to beg the Emperor for his mercy and grace to protect Isarae, in spite of knowing it was impossible.
But through the God-Emperor, are all things not possible?
“Hold on!”
I shifted and struggled out of the sheets, hefting Isarae into my arms and dragging one of the blankets with me as I did. It wasn’t hard to carry both, she was so damnably light… I hated how frail Isarae felt in my grip, and I knew that every second took more of her away from me and brought her closer to the maw of the one she called the ‘Great Serpent’.
“Alessa, what are you…?” Isarae trembled as I brought her into the den of the quarters we shared. It was cold, and she must have been freezing.
“Everything will be alright, my love,” I promised her as I brought her outside onto the balcony where the rain was falling in torrential waves.
In the distance, though, I could see it.
