02x04 - Harvest

[bunniefuu]

I have done what I promised.

Now it is your turn.

This is not a bargain you break like me.

My daughter will survive, no matter the
cost.

Or shall I inform my High King that
Sigma's puppets do not hold to their oaths?

They forget their place.

Rioting when they must obey.

They're starving.

Desperate. Many have died these past
days. In the aftermath of our battle.

And more death will come.

And yet we do nothing.

And what of Shakana? The realm gate
remains closed.

But the poison continues to spread.

Our plan fails.

And she is trapped in Belichor's realm.

If she dies there... You think that I am
not weighed down with every breath,

knowing that she is alone with that
monster?

If he can curse the skies themselves,
what chance does he have?

Then why are we still here, doing
nothing?

Because we do not know how to reach her.

challenge it at your peril.

Sigmar's will is divine.

Not listening to it has consequences.

We are running out of time. If the Realm
Gate cannot be sanctified, the Twin

Tailed City will fall.

There is a way.

We would have to be desperate to listen
to the words of a traitor.

I am no traitor.

Then what are you? Because I know of no
loyalty that would have you k*ll your

friend, your comrade, over and over
again.

Everything I did, I did out of
necessity.

and out of fealty to Sigmar.

I do not want or expect forgiveness from
any of you.

But I would have your understanding.

How often have you doubted yourself?

How often have you feared what you were
in the past?

Do those concerns grant you the right to
be my executioner? They did.

Perhaps I was wrong.

And you honestly say you trust yourself?

Even now?

No. Which is the only reason you are
still at this table.

Where I will prove my worth.

There is a way we can reach Bellacor's
realm.

- If we...
- Stop!

Bellacor has seen what I see.

And heard what I hear.

How can I say with certainty that he
does not still?

Formulate our plan of attack without my
knowledge.

What? I must trust you in this. Do not
prove me mistaken.

My Sigmar's hammer.

I swear I will find our way.

Neve, wait.

How can you leave this in his hands?

I do not.

The final decisions I leave in yours.

You know you cannot trust him.

I must, because he's right.

I cannot trust myself.

I trust you.

And I you.

Truly, you are the only one among us
that I do.

I do not know if you should.

You are thinking about earlier.

I had no mercy.

I did not see people in their
desperation.

I saw only disobedience to Sigma.

That is not like you.

The Anvil has taken much.

will be left of me when I next return.

We have a common burden, my friend.

We doubt what we are.

I could almost envy
Hendrik and his certainty.

you to justify your continued existence.

The portal stirs. We will soon have our
passage to Hamaha.

passage will open, my lord.

Soon is not now.

Make haste, Eternus.

The wait will not be long.

I am ready to depart.

Our final harvest.

Charioturnus, there are workings in the
Threads of Fate for which I have great

patience.

This is not one of them.

You spoke with the certainty of the
tide.

Do you truly know other paths to
Bellacor's realm?

Not exactly.

What do you do?

Speak plainly. What stream am I to swim
this time to bring the black

talons to their goal?

Harrowdeep. You speak madness.

I speak necessity.

Or do you know of another way?

Harrowdeep is not a way.

To venture into its corridors is to
embrace doom.

For most, yes.

But not necessarily for you, Idaneth.

It was once a refuge of your people, was
it not?

Once, yes.

No longer.

It devours us as it does all others.

But if anyone could find a way... I have
done all I have...

and more.

I have done enough.

Honor your bargain. Give me what is you.

leave our master waiting any longer.

Bring the others when the harvest is
complete.

You have my thanks, daughter of Cain.

Valantha. And it is I that is in your
debt, Stormcast.

Shekana. Do not thank me yet.

I cannot offer you escape from this
realm.

Can you offer bloodshed?

That I can promise.

Then you have given me purpose and
meaning.

Two things I thought I had lost forever
in Harrowdeep.

That is well.

And there lies our purpose.

I cannot stop the foulness within its
walls alone.

And we are running out of time.

What is it, Hendrik?

I have done as I promised.

I have found a way.

Why are you here?

My daughter with Claire. I am not to be
told anything.

I understand.

I have always understood.

It is why I have done all that I have
done.

To grant you a chance to be free of such
concerns.

You think to offer freedom by taking
away choice?

By taking away the burden.

You created a cycle of death and half
memory.

I did what I must.

What I was commanded to do.

Who commanded you?

Do as you promised, Hendrik.

Get us to Shekinah. After that, you're
of no further use to me.

Or the Black Talon.

No.

I have done what I promised.

Now it is your turn.

Not about...

I will not break oaths of our people.

And to the needs of your daughter.

How will such a soul come to me?

The one I think of haunts the halls of
Harrowdeep.

Guide the black talons there and you
will have your reward.

The bargain will be concluded and you
will save your daughter.
