"I've never seen so much blood. It's everywhere."

There was a mild look of confusion that crossed his face. No one had ever called him that before. Sure, he held the title of librarian but no one ever addressed him as such. He did not have any of the augmentation or enhancement of a normal astartes since he was too old and his body was too fragile to handle it. Among the Stars Repentant they simply called him Brother Ozura or The Diviner.

"I was told you were here so I became curious," Ozura said. That was only partially true. He'd also caught a glimpse of the custodian in a vision. The librarian didn't sound as unsure or hesitant as he had when he had spoken with Atticus back on Atoma. A lot of things had changed in the months since he'd left.

The staff in his hand thumped softly against the deck as he moved closer, the blue auramite of his fingers wrapped around it.

"So what brings you to the Ursa Major, Captain General?" He doubted it was about Ozura faking his own death to leave the inquisition and join a legion of newly unbanished space marines. "If you have come to see Lord Aurelius then you're out of luck. He is currently on Macragge for business with Lord Guilliman."

"You really don't know anything about Lord Aurelius," Ozura said firmly. "Do you even know why He came back to the Imperium? Do you know why He's even putting in the effort to reconcile with an empire that nearly destroyed Him and His kin? Do you know why He did what He did back in the Crusade? Because I have seen it! I know Him! I am His confidant and loyal son!"

The mortal's eyes flashed a glowing blue with his rising frustration.

"I've seen visions of Him during the Crusade. I've seen what He was like. You call Him reckless and passionate, but it's not in the way you understand it. He was stoic and silent as well, but He spoke up when it counted most. He went against you Corpse God when He knew it would harm the Imperium and the chances for humanity to survive. He saw what would happen when the Rangda Genocide would destroy the chances for the Imperium to learn and grow from their aid. He knew it would cripple us, but that bastard you call an Emperor would not listen!
