It was an auspicious day, the day we've all been waiting for was here. I, Albert, Albert-Eis-Dunst, stood upon the staging ground where we'd be boarding the transport ships.
Before IT began, I was a warrior approaching an uplifted stage watching over us all, he was wearing a gold armor, red flowing cape, giant claw on his left and a flaming sword in his right, he appeared regal, noble and most of all powerful. I instantly recognized the person as, The Emperor himself standing at the forefront prepared to lead the charge.
I was still in awe, struck by majesty when the emperor began to speak, he was making a speech to which I stood straight and opened my ears and listened intently.
The Emperor started:My children of the stars, the time has come at last. For too long, humanity has languished in the darkness, divided and scattered across the galaxy. We have been prey to the predations of xenos, beset by the forces of Chaos, and torn asunder by our own petty squabbles and hatreds.
'His words echoed in my mind, reminding me of what it was before The Emperor. Petty tyrants and despots filled with their own selfish desire rather than our survival and uplifting.'
But no more! The time has come to rise up and reclaim our rightful place as the masters of this galaxy. The time has come to banish the night and usher in a new age of enlightenment and unity for our species.
'I found Myself with renewed courage as doubts dissipate and dedication filled me to the bone.'
Look around you. See the countless worlds that lie beyond our grasp, ripe for reclamation. See the untapped potential of our people, stifled by ignorance and superstition. See the vile xenos and the corrupting forces of Chaos that seek to extinguish the flame of human ingenuity and ambition.
'Anger flared up within me as the tales of our once allies turned upon us, betrayal.'
No more! The time has come to stand united, to throw off the shackles of our past divisions and forge a new destiny for humanity. United under my banner, we shall bring the light of reason and progress to every corner of this galaxy.
We shall make contact with our lost brethren and welcome them back into the fold. We shall scour the stars of the xenos filth that dares to encroach upon our rightful domain.
'Yes! This is it, our moment of rebirth,our moment of achieving enlightenment and transcendence. I listened more intently.'
This is our manifest destiny, my children. This is the future that awaits us, if only we have the courage to seize it. So I call on you now - take up arms, gird yourselves for battle, and join me in this great crusade to reclaim our birthright!
For too long have we cowered in the darkness, afraid to embrace our true potential. No more! The time has come to rise up and show the galaxy the true power of humanity. United under my guidance, we shall usher in a new golden age - an age of reason, of progress, of unity that will echo down through the millennia.
So stand with me, my children. Stand with me, and together we shall banish the night and illuminate the galaxy with the shining light of human civilization. The future is ours to forge - let us begin this great crusade, and show the galaxy the true might of humanity reborn!
'Yes my emperor I shall not fail, I shall fight for you, just as you have fought for me, for our survival and future prosperity.'
I took a silent oath, so as I draw breath, my emperor, I shall not stray from your light.
