What have you found?
The dead.
What have you found?
The living.
The Old Warrior sent me back for you.
The Old Warrior sent me back for you.
He has wandered far
and wishes your presence at once.
As he wishes, so shall it be.
[whoosh]
[lands]
Why have you come here, Iocarus?
Why do you
walk this mausoleum of our ancestors?
To remember who we once were
and to gather the souls of our dead.
[footsteps]
That is why the elders sent us back here.
I asked why you have returned.
What do you seek?

How many now?
Saving even one soul would make
this journey worthwhile, Drasalia.
Indeed. How many?
Two.
[footsteps]
Do you take no comfort here?
None at all?
I see a dead forest burned long ago.
I see a lifeless
craftworld cold in the void.
I see a lifeless
craftworld cold in the void.
What comfort should I take?
This was our home.
[Drasalia] It was never my home.
This place was a tomb a
before I drew my first breath.

[Drasalia] Iocarus.
[Drasalia] Iocarus. Iocarus!
[gasps]
[footsteps]
I would come here as a child.
It was a garden of muses
where songweavers and bonesingers
would shape great works
for grateful patrons.
You are beginning to sound
like the Old Warrior.
Lost in the past
armouring yourself in ancient memories.
armouring yourself in ancient memories.
You should cherish
the Old Warrior's tales.
I cherish them.
I merely refuse to worship them.

Warlock. Outcast.

[head turns]
Exarch Omo'Dai. You summoned me?
You stand where many fell.
My masters and my disciples
on the way of the warrior.
This was our shrine.
Is there anything
you wish to take with us?
[Omo'Dai] What the foe did not desecrate
has since been eroded by time.
No.
We are not here to sift through the bones
of my brothers and sisters.
But there is something here.
Come.
[footsteps]
Where are you leading us, Exarch?
Towards that
which has slept for a lifetime
waiting to be discovered.
[Drasalia] A relic?
[Drasalia] A spirit stone?
More precious than either
yet rarer than neither.
[footsteps]
[Iocarus] I do not understand.
There is a way
to see and find what you seek.
There is a way

[armour clanks]
[atmospheric music]

[Drasalia and Iocarus gasp]
[Omo'Dai] The last of my shrine warriors
were driven back here.
Fighting in the shadow of our wounded god.
You saw the avatar die?
[Omo'Dai] Yes... and yet no.
[Omo'Dai] Yes... and yet no.
The god-shard was already
dying from the days of ceaseless battle.
By the time it reached us
it was shattered, bleeding
animated by nothing but divine rage.
But I saw its final moments.
I witnessed the incarnation of Khaine die.
[footsteps]
The question, Warlock,
is whether you desire to do the same?
[Iocarus] A soul echo of such a moment
like the fall of lightning
at a storm's height.
like the fall of lightning
at a storm's height.
Why? To what purpose?
What can be learned by such a vision
that we do not already know?
Our duty is to seek the wisdom of history
to forge our people's future,
not to wallow in the horrors of the past.
Have you found anything more
than echoes, Warlock?
Do they not fade before
they can guide you?
[Omo'Dai] I said to you before
that I did not know
and could not tell you where it lies.
But in this god's grave
the past waits in frozen agony.
But in this god's grave
the past waits in frozen agony.
True and burning.
Touch it
and you will see what you seek.
[Drasalia] What does he speak of?
What have you been looking for?
[footsteps]
[Drasalia] Would you so idly experience
the death throes of a living god, Iocarus?
I must see.
So be it.

Ugh! Urgh! Argggggh!

Such hatred... Such loss...
[Drasalia] It is over, cousin
you are yourself once more.
It sings in my blood, a fire like venom.
We must fall back further,
there is yet time.
We can still get those of
innocent blood to the ships.
Iocarus.
Still time. There is still time!
Exarch, what do we do?
We do nothing, child.
Nothing? He walks
in the shadows of what was!
Blind to what is.
How do we bring him back?
We do not need to bring him back, Outcast.
He made this choice.
This is the very truth he wished to taste.
[hands on shoulder]
He is a Warlock, Drasalia.
He walks the Path of the Seer.
Let him see.

Guardians, stand at all costs.
Each second we stand
buys a life for those we love.
Hold this barricade. Yshara...
[Guardian] The ship awaits.
Those that stand here shall die here.
Say your farewell.
[placed down]
[sorrowful music]
[choking up]
You have to run now. Run without me.
You have to run now. Run without me.
You must reach the ship.
Please.

Your senses will attune.
I will be your eyes for now.
[movement sound]
[Wraithguard] I stood my ground.
I... I died.
My boy...
Did he escape?
Does he live?
