Voice Post #1

[bewareboy6]

[There's a long moment of silence before the sound of a page turning can be heard. Only then does a voice come on. That of a boy.]

Why is disease and death feared? These are part of life and always come.

[Another pause before he speaks again.]

We all will fade.

Not everyone fades.

I am free of disease and age, because it is the destiny of all Astartes to die in battle.

Then you will die in combat.

And that is why we know no fear. Our stories are already told from the moment we take on the black Carapace. All that remains is glory and honor.

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

I see...

[brodexastartes.livejournal.com]

Do you fear death, mortal?

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

No. I am already dead.

[brodexastartes.livejournal.com]

Are you a revenant, or are you speaking simply from a philosophical standpoint?

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

I was killed before arriving.

[brodexastartes.livejournal.com]

I don't understand. The dead don't dream.

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

There is proof of this?

[brodexastartes.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. Dreaming is a biological function. If you cease to function, you cease to dream.

[bewareboy6.livejournal.com]

Yet I function.

[brodexastartes.livejournal.com]

It strikes me that you aren't as dead as you believe yourself to be, then.

I was shot in the head. I did not survive.
