At last, the arch-traitor. | |||
Let me tell you a story from the OXA Machine. Once upon a time, a [[Hive|small people]] lived on a [[Fundament|dangerous world]]. By nature they were petty and fearful. But they strove to be better, and together they overcame their fear. | |||
Unto these people came a [[Oryx, the Taken King|king]], who said, "We are surrounded by enemies, we are weak and frail. But I have an answer. Eat these [[Worm|larvae]], my people, and with their strength we will rise up." Whenever anyone protested the king, the king said, "Are you working with our enemies? No? Then why are you afraid of our strength?" | |||
Thus the king led the great people into slavery to their fear. Ghaul will do the same. | |||
The Praetorate chose Ghaul to overthrow me, but they could not master him, for he had a fearsome strength. They tried to control him, to temper and delay his coup; now he drags them forward by their own reins. ''Anyone can be great,'' Ghaul says, ''if they work their hardest.'' But what he means is ''no one can be great, except in the way I approve.'' He says I was born to luxury and corruption; I say he was made only to fear and hate! Whose universe would you choose to live in, I ask you? Chaul's miserable slog? Ghaul's age of closed fists? Or my world of plenty and delight? Do not mistake my joy for weakness, oh just one! I fight to make a haven in a bloody cosmos. Ghaul fights so that he can keep fighting forever. | |||
He has refused the title ''Emperor'', although some of his soldiers call him so. He says there will be no more emperors. I am the last emperor, the epitome of the true Cabal. | |||
The Dominus must die. | |||
To the one who kills Ghaul, I offer an audience before my throne. | |||
