The Imperial Eagle.
The great Twin-Headed Aquila that rose above the poison smog of the hive in the distance, and where I knew marked the heights of the holy Priory of Gardens.
Carefully, I knelt and laid her down, wrapped her in the blanket, and then crawled over to the disparate pieces of sanctified armour I had taken from the chapel. They laid scattered across the balcony where I had peeled them off of my body in the aftermath of my sins, but now… now I needed them.
Or at least, I needed part of them.
“God-Emperor on Holy Terra, forgive your prodigal daughter,” I whispered as I picked up the cuirass.
It was heavy in my hands, and the polished eagle on the breastplate gleamed in the dim light of the rainsoaked night. I took some comfort from that shine, it seemed to me that no matter what I did… I could not tarnish its light, no one could, for the light of the God-Emperor was purer than anything else.
