04.02.2012 Today's Reading; ‘Find a grave marked with the name Maeren. We will bury
him with his woman.’
The Ultramarines fanned out through the rain, scanning the
names on the wooden cross pieces on the grave markers and,
after a few minutes’ searching, found the grave of Gedrik’s wife
and child. An honour guard dug in the muddy earth until the
body of the young man was finally laid to rest in the soil of his
home.
Uriel marched through the graves to where the ground began
to rise, intending to plant the statue of the Emperor into the soft
earth to watch over His departed flock. He lifted the statue high
above his head and rammed it down into the earth, where there
was a dull, mud-deadened clang of stone on metal.
Uriel pulled the statue clear, laying it to one side as he
dropped to his knees and scraped away the mud at his feet.
Perhaps half a metre down, the ground changed from soft,
sucking mud to a wet, flaked metal. He cleared more of the mud
away, revealing a rust pocked plate of metal.
‘Sergeant!’ he shouted. ‘Get over here and bring your squad
with you. I think we may have found the Hill of the Metal the
boy spoke of.’
