Emperor's Daughter of the Red Sands

Chapter 72 The Road to Redemption ([-])

Lorgar had a trance dream.

In the dream, he saw the whole galaxy burning.

In the dream, he saw his brothers turn against each other.

In his dream, he saw everything about the Empire falling apart.

The rationality of the past is gone.

Destruction was induced in ways no one could have imagined, and destruction spread on an unprecedented scale.

The sea of ​​stars boils, and the stars fall.

Until all efforts are in vain, until all good things are burnt.

……

Lorgar jumped up in panic.

Warm sweat slowly dripped down his sharp-edged cheeks, and the color of fear was still reflected in the blurred sleepy eyes.

—…Nightmare?
It wasn't until a moment later that Lorgar realized that everything he saw was just a dream.

But the scenes in those dreams were so real that he was almost immersed in them, and even some burning phantoms still remained in his vision.

And that burning phantom gradually overlapped with the promethium candle.

When the two reunited in Lorgar's dilated pupils, all the illusions in the dream seemed to disappear.

Now, before Lorgar's eyes, there are only dossiers and documents that need to be corrected, as well as ink that emits a strong smell.

No blood splattered, no bridges falling apart, no murmurs of madness and confusion.

In the quiet room, there are only a few flickering candles.

It seems that it was just a false alarm.

The muffled breath of the Primarch echoed in the room, like a thunderous gasp that was comparable to the sound of a high-powered machine, so that the Lord of the Red Sand, who was immersed in his work, slowly raised his head.

"Looks like you haven't had a good rest?"

Seeing Lorgar's sleepy eyes, Elaine raised her eyebrows slightly.

"...I dreamed about those things again."

Lorgar sighed slowly.

"Once again. I dreamed of those visions again...those...a future where the stars were burned and rationality collapsed..."

From Lorgar's tone, it is obvious that this is not the first time.

After Magnus confirmed that there was no problem with Lorgar, the old friend, the No.15 legion master left, so Lorgar and Elaine continued their work.

During these days in Colchis, Lorgar was plagued by some 'nightmares' every day and night.Although the body of the Primarch hardly needs to rest, Lorgar often falls into dreams unknowingly—maybe it is the place where Lorgar grew up that relaxes Lorgar’s mind, or maybe there is something subtly affecting him. with him...

Or maybe it's just that the 'message' and 'mission' from the future that Elaine told Lorgar put an excessive burden on him.

"You mean... what do these repeated dreams indicate?"

"...Maybe, but I'd prefer that these 'prophecies' don't materialize."

Lorgar said a little tiredly.

"Some things turned out to be beyond my imagination - in fact, I prefer to believe that these are just some inconsequential nightmares."

"It seems...you have awakened some unique talents you inherited from your father."

Elaine looked at Lorgar with interest.

[Like this——]

Suddenly, Elaine's inner voice resounded leisurely in Lorgar's surprised eyes.

[Don't panic, my brother.Our father is the strongest psychic in this universe... Although the Imperial Truth has a very bad attitude towards psychic power, it cannot deny the fact that the psychic power of the Lord of Humanity supports the Astronomical Torch. 】

【This…】

Before Luo Jiaduo could say anything, a vast world appeared in front of his eyes again - the majestic snow peaks stood at the end of the horizon like the pillars of the world, and the vast sea of ​​mind under his feet Following Lorgar's mood, there were some ripples.

Until the slim figure in a light tulle skirt slowly came to Lorgar.

[My brother, the Lord of the No.17 Legion, the saint of Colchis, the disseminator of the empire's truth, the Primarch...]

【These are your identities, and these are also your responsibilities. 】

Her ethereal voice called to Lorgar, like some ancient bard.

【When our beings awaken certain talents, it indicates that heavier suffering and trials are coming...】

[No matter when and where, the crisis will not leave voluntarily. 】

【There are not many things we can do. Only by redoubled efforts and redoubled efforts can the possibility of crisis be gradually reduced. 】

Lorgar's throat slid slightly.

In a trance, Lorgar seemed to see more things, such as the scarlet shadow lingering on the beautiful figure in front of her, the icy golden light bursting out from her right arm... and the light blue feathers hovering around her.

Everything in the reality and the environment began to become illusory, and Lorgar's eyesight could even directly interpret the endless information and knowledge contained in the documents in front of him...

What a wonderful feeling.

At this moment, Lorgar seemed to recall what Magnus had said about psychics and the Warp...

There is also what Elaine explained to herself, the twisted and huge existence that the Lord of Humanity is contending against.

Time slows down slowly at this moment, and Lorgar can see the numbers and words that Elaine will write in the next moment at this moment, and can see the appearance before the pen was written a few seconds ago.

He could also see Elaine's gaze cast towards him.

For this sister who can foresee the distant future, Lorgar didn't have a good impression of her at the beginning-because she executed and convicted the chief priest of the Word Bearers without knowing it...even until just now Lorgar was thinking about why Elaine was able to discover that Erebus and Kor Phaeron were outright traitors.

Now, Lorgar understood somewhat.

【Miracle is always by our side. 】

[Gods are always with us. 】

Elaine whispered softly.

In her field of vision, the brother's increasingly ethereal figure foreshadowed the full awakening of his unique psychic gifts.

In fact, Elaine is well aware of Lorgar's abnormal situation in the past few days-especially the psychic fluctuations emanating from him. If the projection of psykers in the subspace is a beam of bright light Torch, then the shadow of the Primarch's brother was like a shining star.

[Now, there are more jobs waiting for you, my brother. 】

[Although cheer up. 】

"...Okay, sister."

Lorgar couldn't help sighing, and his consciousness returned to reality.

He looked at the documents in front of him with a complicated expression, which were about revising the large-scale industrialization of Colchis and the establishment of multiple outposts for expeditions. Even though the brain of the Primarch could easily complete this level of work, but just now The scene he saw... still lingered in his mind for a long time.

Shattered empires, rotting thrones...

And, a dark future without hope...

Those are urgently needed to change.
