Garviel Loken, a captain of the 63rd,
Was most notably remembered to be a man of his word.

When Istvaan III happened, he could not believe his eyes,
For brother fought brother, under an ash-ridden sky.

But when Loken saw Abbadon, a soldier he called friend,
It had broken his heart, to know that this was the end.

Through wreckage and debris, they had all finally met,
With Tarik and Aximand, the original four set.

When Aximand had drawn blade, eyes filled with tears.
Tarik had reminded him, to not hold back with fear.

And no matter what happens, no matter the conclusion,
They will fight till the end, with blades sparking in fusion.

But orders were orders, and they had to be done.
For Horus had an agenda, and a war that needed to be won.

With a Heresy so great, so powerful beyond measure.
It had made other legions decide between loyalist or traitor.

As the world collapsed around him, Loken thought of the remembrancers.
However human and fragile, they will bring word to the Emperor.

And although he was beaten, he did what he should.
Loken had stood, when no one else could.

Nice poem mate.

Here is mine:
(Spoilers from Garro series)

Yeah. Good poem. I recently read the book on a rather long 7 hour drive.

A Luna Wolf tp the end.

Will there be a part two? I read Vengeful Spirit recently

Lol you want me to make another one? I thought rippy did a good job summarizing a part 2

Slight correction: I think you meant Tarik Torgaddon, not Saul Tarvitz..

I'd love to see you work your word smithery around Russ sending him off and (Spoilers) ... Loken facing down Horus again being offered to come back to his legion.

Then i'd love to see a prequel for Lokens ascendancy to mournival but maybe that's getting ahead.
