The city had won its war.
Yet its guns pointed inward.
Stacy
Why?
Caelwyn
Because they wanted peace.
Stacy
That’s not peace.
Caelwyn
It began as peace.
First…
the enemy stood outside the walls.
Then inside the realm.
Then inside the city.
Then among friends.
Family.
Eventually…
inside yourself.
Stacy
Khorne.
Caelwyn
Eventually.
But first…
peace.
They entered a library.
One book was chained shut.
Caelwyn
Would you open it?
Stacy
Why was it forbidden?
Caelwyn smiled.
Caelwyn
There’s your first question.
What if it contained something true?
Something nobody else knew?
Something that could change everything?
Stacy
I’d want to know.
Caelwyn
And if the answer had a price?
Silence.
Stacy
Tzeentch.
Caelwyn
Eventually.
But first…
knowledge.
They entered a laboratory.
Caelwyn
You cure a disease.
Then another.
Then you discover how to prevent them.
Then how to change the genes that cause them.
But you need experiments.
Animals first.
Then an Ork.
A Drukhari.
A mutant.
A convicted heretic.
A criminal.
Someone dying.
Someone…
nobody will miss.
Stacy
Stop.
Caelwyn
Where?
Silence.
Caelwyn
That’s the question.
Stacy
Nurgle.
Caelwyn
Eventually.
But first…
health.
Finally…
they entered a gallery.
A perfect human figure stood before them.
Caelwyn
The artist wanted perfection.
So he learned anatomy.
Studied bodies.
Went deeper.
And his work became better.
The athlete trained.
Then found chemistry.
Augmentation.
Modification.
And every step worked.
Stacy
Slaanesh.
Caelwyn
Eventually.
But first…
perfection.
Four gods.
Four fires.
Four dreams we already understand.
Peace.
Knowledge.
Health.
Perfection.
None begins as evil.
Perhaps that’s why…
we don’t notice when the flame becomes a conflagration.
So forget the Dark Gods for a moment.
Forget Warhammer.
Think about your dream.
How far would you go to achieve it?
