***War it's a cruel place,she knew that,
Her red armor had being scarred badly by the Dreadghnout wich they had managed to kill,even know they didn't have any weapons with anti tank capabilities,
She stood alone, against a score of traitors,
Her helmet having being lost on the fight,she wept,
Only two tears,not because of her,not because of the fact that she would soon join the dead,she wept, because of the fate that awaited her sister on Terminator armor,she wept,because now she had to fight her brothers,
She was surrounded,like a lonely camp fire of hope ,on a night treason,she wept because of what the Emperor's children had becomed,
She wept because she knew that those night lords were marked for death,
She wept because of how Magnuses pride had let his own legion down to a path of damnation,
She was a last beautiful warrior, a last angel weeping her last Lamentation on a field of death,
She wept because of the pain that betrayal caused on her soul,
She had an iron halo,her scarred armor tainted red,but still magnificent,a black and red caped hunged from her shoulders,
Tepsta saw her,she wanted to go in and duel her,kill her with the respect an angel like her deserved,she wanted to give her,her own fair battle, to test her steel warrior against warrior,and feel alive again, fighting against an equal***

*— I wept,not for my soul,but for yours*

***Tepsta didn't have time to try to defy that gleeming and magnificent warrior,
Her eviscerator turned to life, meanwhile she chargued single handedly at the Emperor's Children,with all the might and fury,her sorrow would allow her to muster,
She chargued,silently,like a comet crossing a night,her cape following suit behind her***
***Said cape,wore hundreds of battle honors,now turned into irrelevant words on the silk,no one would remember her deeds,she knew that, but she didn't need someone to remember her,she was happy buying time for reinforcements,
She saw one of those warriors,that she had sparred with,for many years,and she thought it would be a fitting end,
Only when she was upon,that wretched abomination of a Astartes,that abhorrent parody of a warrior,she broke her silence***

*— ¡For sanguinius!*

***It wasn't a gutural war cry of defiance,it was a sweet declaration of her own death,
She chargued in, eviscerator sounding,she delivered an upper blow,it got parried,she retrieved her blade with her right hand, meanwhile she delivered a punch with her left,knocking the purple helmet,out of that aberration,she swallowed her grief meanwhile she brought the eviscerator to bear again, nontheless she felt a sharp pain on her right leg,then one on the side,and a final one on the back,
That beautiful warrior,was being denied a warrior's death,she felt how she was being punished by 4 different Emperor's children at the same time,
Tepsta wept herself,she hadn't wept for Nostramo,but she wept as she saw such a warrior,on this situation,she wanted to have her own duel,
But sadly,she wouldn't reach her in time,
She saw,the red armored hero, fighting against a sea of purple,
She pushed the first blade aside, she retreated her eviscerator,hitting and cracking a helmet with a hit from her elbow***
***She stepped aside, lighting fast,to hit again,pushing her eviscerator into the stomach of an Emperor's children,
She hitted,but to her dismay,she couldn't cut through armor,
She had her wrist severed, by a chainsword blow,
The she got hitted again,her armor not being able to prevent,the back part of her right leg,from being almost amputated,
She felt to the ground,triying to stand up,
For a second,the nightlords rooted for that beautiful angel,
But,after some seconds, she layed broken,on a pile of blood and broken bones,she didn't say anything,she didn't complain or try to do anything else,
She stood,laying down, silent,never to be able to fight again,
Truly, that was,her last Lamentation,
Tepsta brought her bolter to bear on the Emperor's Children,shooting above the head of their captain,a miss,
Alexandra pushed her aside,she understood her pain,she also felt it,
But this was not the place
That angel was just another extinguished light,on a Galaxy unforgiving***
