【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第二十四章:宣泄 Unleashed(17)
Again I raised my head to the skies and began my true plea.
“I have sinned!” I cried out into the darkness. “I have fallen, I have faltered, but I beg thee! FATHER! Pity thy daughter and grant her this single wish… oh Father on Terra, lay thy holy gaze upon this child of the stars, this daughter of distant worlds, and know her name as Isarae of the Aeldari!”
My tears mixed with the rain of this wretched world, and I could feel the faint chemical burn of the water as it crossed my cheeks, but I ignored it. There was nothing in this world that could save Isarae now, but by the grace of the God-Emperor anything was possible… the dead could be returned to life, the weak could be made strong, and by His light perhaps even the soul of a xeno could be saved.
“Her heart knows love! And her soul knows nobility!” I pleaded into the darkness of the void. “Though her hands be stained, by those same hands your daughter was saved, your gifts protected, and your world defended! And now the dark encroaches! The shadow of Chaos descends, and I beg of thee, Father! Do not let her pass into the maw of the Great Serpent! By thy ravening grace I beg of you!”
