02x06 - Retribution

[bunniefuu]

Truth.

There are no more lies.

You know who you are.

Embrace your destiny.

Embrace your angel.

Such prowess deserves...

Thoughts that could make them pay for my
village.

That could assemble and win the
abomination of trust.

The lies we tell ourselves.

What is one life against the countless
to be saved in the thorns of time?

The lies build with each action, each
choice.

Blood paved the way to my damn union.

There is no greater good there is only

I saw them. My family.

I could feel them.

And I relived my sins.

To feel them again.

After all this time.

Do you understand?

They're fading again even now. Along
with what's left of my soul.

You are still Rostus. Still my old
comrade.

Early. When I am reforged again.

I fear it will not be Rostus.

Who returns?

I think I would be grateful to lose
Niamh in such a way.

I am tainted, Rostus. Tainted beyond
hope.

Kalthia!

Another of Sigmar's champions dead, and
you standing over the body.

Did you find that she, too, doubted
herself?

She fought heroically, but there were
too many in the end.

Laura and I owe her our lives.

Sigmar's light will not reach her here.

It is strange that there has been no
pursuit.

Yes, we appear to have made a clean
escape, but... But you find that as

as I do.

We struck hard at Bellacor when we
disrupted that ritual. The fortress

echoing with the cries for our blood.

Then why is it not?

I guard, but do

not pursue him. It makes no sense.
Unless they have found another quarry,

must find another way in.

With Kalthia gone, what hope do we have
of getting to Shekana?

This is where the portal starts.

And shall be again.

The currents have brought us to shore.

No!

The way down deep has been opened
outside the fortress.

How disappointing.

It seems that you are destined to be
bested by these black talons.

They will not reach this chamber.

How is Hope yet?

Return, Latia. Your end is finally...

What end?
Is your foul master's schemes?

You found your way.

I will always find my way to you.

This is Valanta, of the Crone Sea of
Parais.

She has been my sister in w*r here.

Well met.

I welcome the common cause that binds us.

As do I.

We have little time. The ritual to open
the gate to Hamahal has already begun.

Follow me.

What's the story that blasts from the
throne gate?

That will take more than simple
disruption.

There is a way.

The life force flowing into
the gate must be denied

once and for all before
Hamahal drowns in shadow.

We're dead.

And the charge of a willing sacrifice.

A pure soul.

Freeing the victim's spirits bound to
the gate.

A final sacrifice.

The soul would meet its end here.

Understood.

Now, Black Talon, for Sigmar!

She has returned home.

Do you have nothing left but words?

Let me end my days as Rostov.

Remember who you love.

It ain't so bad.

You are the traitor

within. Now you know the truth

of your path.

You are Ali. You can never be trusted.

All I have done is for the greater good.

I know better than most that that is the
oath of the damned!

This is where you belong!

it cost us much.

The taint on Hammerhall has ended.

The city lives.

That is well.

You are leaving us, then?

The bargain I agreed to is fulfilled.

Will you tell me of your bargain?

It was for the salvation of my daughter.

Farewell, Neve Blacktailor. May the
tides of your destiny be kind.

You have my thanks.

You mistake where the debt of gratitude
lies.

But we should not let it concern us.
This is not farewell.

We have been brought together for a
reason, one known only to the Cronesir.

We shall meet again.

And soon.

What have you done to us?

You have seen the truth.

There are no more lies.

You know who you are.

Embrace your destiny.

Embrace.

I want you to love me.
