that we think we make has not already been determined beforehand? A path set in front of us that

we, try as we might to avoid our fate, are condemned to walk?”

“By that rationale, why should we strive for anything? Why should we seek to destroy our

enemies, if the outcome has already been decided?” asked Burias.

“Don’t be a fool, Burias,” said Marduk sharply. “The gods help those that help themselves. If

you were not going to try to defeat your enemies, then you were already fated to lose.”

“If what you suggest is correct, then this,” said Kol Badar, levelling his combi-bolter at

Marduk’s head, “is the will of the gods?”

The Coryphaus’s weapon system whined and clicked as fresh bolts were loaded into the firing

chambers. Burias licked his lips, glancing between the First Acolyte and Kol Badar.

Behind them, kneeling in a tight circle with his squad, Khalaxis half-rose to his feet, but the

heavy hand of one of the Anointed held him in place.

The sergeant-champion glowered up at the Terminator-armoured warrior, his rage building, but

he relented and remained kneeling, watching the outcome of the confrontation.

Marduk took a step forward so that the twin barrels of the Coryphaus’s weapon pressed against

his forehead.

“Pull the trigger and find out,” said Marduk.

After a tense moment, Kol Badar bent his arm, removing the weapon from his superior’s head,

and stalked away angrily.

“What if he had pulled the trigger?” asked Burias quietly.

“Then I’d be dead,” said Marduk.
