«I was there, the day Horus slew the Emperor. It was a delicious conceit, and his guests enjoyed it. Loken pushed his way through the crowded court, his grey-white plate catching the torchlight. The air was thick with the smell of wine, sweat, and the heavy, electric scent of power. He knew that the words were a joke, a playful reference to the title of the man they had just conquered, but in the back of his mind, they felt like a cold shadow yet to fall.»
