Mountain raptors had called it their home as readily as the lonely pilgrims who had trekked through snow drifts and along knife-backed ridges to reach it. Stories were told among the Primaris Space Marines that fragile bones of birds and woven votive offerings left by worshippers could still be found in its darkest corners. Kastor, who frequented the chapel more than any of them, had certainly never come across such relics. They had long since crumbled to dust, for it had been ten thousand years since the Dioskuri had lain heaped beneath mountain snow, or moaned with the bitterness of a midwinter wind. Ten millennia had gone by since it had been uprooted and rebuilt, stone by stone, on board the battle-barge Spear of Macragge. Now its pilgrims were god-warriors of the former XIII Legion and its attendant, Kastor, wore the skull-helm of an Adeptus Astartes Chaplain.  \nHe donned that helmet now, though there was no immediate threat of battle. The black armour and vestments of a Chaplain were as ceremonial as they were functional. They represented the wearer ’s grave charge: to uphold the faith and purity of his battle-brothers, and act as both judge and executioner for those who failed. In that moment, as the Spear ofMacragge traversed the currents of the warp on its way from combat operations in the Atari system, Kastor stood in judgement.  \n‘It is time, brother.’  \nThe accused had surrendered himself of his own volition and now knelt before Kastor and the chapel’s altar, shrouded in the black cloth of judgement. His name was Polixis, and he was the Apothecary of the Fulminata – one of the  \nstrike forces of Primaris Marines who, a century earlier, had joined the Ultramarines Chapter. Light from the tallow candles set around the chamber flickered along the strong lines of his face and gave his blond hair a deeper, golden sheen.  \n‘Speak now, before the Emperor ’s sight.’  \nThe ritual words rang through the chamber, scraping from the vox vocaliser of Kastor ’s helmet like an executioner ’s blade across a whetstone.  \nPolixis was silent before answering, his head dipped, as though he was trying to find the words that would most succinctly convey his guilt.  \n‘I killed my battle-brother,’ he said eventually, his voice low but firm. Kastor remained still.  \nPolixis raised his burning gaze to meet the Chaplain’s darkened visor. ‘I killed Artimaeus Tulio, of the Fulminata.’  \nFive Days Earlier  \nThe de la Sario manor house shook with gunfire, screams and the fury of the Primaris Space Marines. The Fulminata rarely tasted defeat, and yet on this day, their objective was slipping away.  \nPolixis launched two shots from his bolt pistol. The hard rounds punched through the charging Tchari supplicator ’s bare breast and burst open his chest cavity. The man, clad only in a white loincloth and a silver hook-nosed mask, dropped instantly. Two of his cult kindred threw themselves into adjacent doorways. A spray of las-fire whipped into the dark stonebark panels that lined the hallway as they attempted to keep the Primaris Apothecary at bay, forcing him to one side.  \nPolixis advanced, using speed to close the distance before either cultist could pin him. He slammed another shot into the doorframe that sheltered one of them. A hail of splinters ripped through the man’s torso. He dropped, screaming. His comrade managed to fire two last las-bolts into Polixis’ left greave and breastplate before his weapon’s power pack whined, its charge empty.  \nNeither shot penetrated the Space Marine’s white battle plate.  \nThe Apothecary fired a double-tap at point-blank range into the man, shredding his muscled body and painting his blood up the walls.
