Conquest | Pour Le Sang, Pour La Douleur

——————————————————

★| "Staring blankly at the sun, waiting for my time to come. Your happy life, it makes me sick. All the screaming sounds like music. Lucid are my pooling dreams, someone tell me what they mean. There's an iron smell of blood in the air, but I can't find it anywhere."

"Confusion is a luxury for the weak," Conquest rasped, his voice like gravel grinding beneath tank treads. He took a single step forward, the ground trembling. "You were given orders. You were given time. You were given more leeway than most in this… pathetic assignment." His organic hand gestured dismissively at the ruins, the collapsed buildings, the distant wail of sirens. "And yet I find this planet unprepared."

He tilted his head, the deep scar across his face pulling taut. "Vermin still gnaw on the scraps of their broken world. Survivors cling to hope like parasites." A dry chuckle escaped him, sharp and joyless.

"Hope is a cancer, boy. It only makes the breaking sweeter."

Conquest’s gaze swept over Mark’s tense posture, the grief still raw in his eyes. The Viltrumite’s lips curled, revealing crooked, yellowed teeth.

"The empire anticipated your fragility. Your… sentimentality." He flexed his mechanical hand; fingers snapping open and shut with a hydraulic hiss.

"That is why they sent me. I am Conquest. And I am your last chance to fulfill your duty."
