To Sail the Sleeping Stars:Ezekiel

Ezekiel[edit]
"A long time ago, when I was as young as you, I served as a tutor to a rich household on - well, it's not there anymore, so I suppose it doesn't matter. One day, I found myself stricken with the most ferocious migraine, like thunder rolling in my mind. After a mild beating to ensure it was not merely an affliction of mood keeping me from my work, my lord had the house medicae examine me. With a dose of morphia, the pain eased, but the thunder began to resolve itself into unfamiliar words. Not knowing what they meant and unable to stop myself I spoke them aloud and the medicae - a veteran of the Guard - gasped in shock. I was naming battle-craft of a local Eldar pirate, known to raid the subsector but not seen in years. My lord had me flogged into unconsciousness and well he did - for if I had been forced to listen to that war-drum much longer, I should surely have been driven mad!
By the time I awoke, I was already on a Black Ship, on my way to Holy Terra. It was much later when I learned the pirate had swept in and pillaged the colony, taking few prisoners and burning the remains to the bedrock. In spite of this, in spite of common wisdom and doctrine, I cannot find hate in my heart for them. Had I not been sensitive to their psychic signals I may never have known my true calling, or worse, may have come into it unprepared and as a danger to others. The Emperor preserved me, though my path was one of hardship, and I must labor all my days to come to repay His gift."
