"THEN, BRIEFLY, HE IMAGINED ANOTHER DEATH. ALONE, FAR AWAY FROM HIS COMRADES AND HIS LEGION, DYING FROM CRUEL WOUNDS ON SOME NAMELESS ROCK, HIS PASSING AS MEMORABLE AS SMOKE. LOKEN SWALLOWED HARD. EITHER WAY, HIS SERVICE WAS TO THE EMPEROR, AND HIS SERVICE WOULD BE TRUE TO THE END.” -DAN ABNETT, HORUS RISING
