The amount of gold that layered the palace was something that TalOS did not know could be increased. Yet as he walked into the inner chambers of the palace he found out once again that there was more gold in this very room than what could be found in entire solar systems.
The glow of the Astronomicon was so strong that it was impossible for TalOS there was not a single more meal for him to eat. For years after this meeting he will have no need to consume the energies of stars or even have the temptation of consuming the souls of other xenos races.
The Astronomicon was a power incarnate and something that TalOS could scarcely understand.
As he walked up the stairs TalOS once again saw his wayward sons. The Lanterns of Charon standing guard over the most sacred of places within the entire Imperium. A place that TalOS found himself welcome to unlike the rest of his brotherly kin.
It was a ziggurat that climbed up from the bottom most layer of the earth to the top. It was one where TalOS had to start at the very bottom and by the middle his mechanical augmentations were starting to administer muscular recovery measures.
It was at the two thirds mark that TalOS deviated from the staircase and walked his way across one of the many blocked steps which jutted out from the structure. It should not be mistaken that these steps are easily crossed, for each one of them were several units tall and equally tall. Even a Knight would struggle to climb each of these steps, so for TalOS there was no chance at all. And across all of them were pieces of artwork that seemed to detail the entire history of mankind.
Upon this rung TalOS reached his father who was kneeling at a singular block. Within his hands was a hammer and chisel. TalOS did not need to make presence known as the Father of the Primarchs rose to meet his wayward son. Today his father was roughly his own size, but that was not the most remarkable thing.
Today he found his Father not wearing the Golden Armor of a Warrior. Gone was the Warrior King that TalOS had first seen and scarcely understood. Before him was a man, someone who had great ambitions but was just that. He was a man.
