    Summary

    Commissar Ciaphas Cain, Imperial saint summoned by tea and soldiers' belief, has been given a rather unusual assignment. Apparently, some High Lord of Terra or other has lost faith in humanity's glorious destiny, and Cain is the second of three saints tapped to sort him out.

    Now Cain must escort this High Lord on a one-night tour of the Imperium, teaching him the true meaning of Christm—er, Sanguinala Present. This is going to put a damper on his evening. Especially when some Valhallans summon him for a different reason altogether ...

    Summary

    “When I heard you were alive,” Sigismund says quietly, his voice sounding strangely scratched, like a stone blade trying to remember how to be tender, “I felt rage. Then I felt curiosity. And finally, I felt relief.” He answers Sevatar's suspicious, hostile gaze and his unasked question without hesitation. “A remnant. An old one. One I knew before.” He pauses. Again, that strange, alien attempt at softness. “One I had desired once.”

    Summary

    Here's a tale as old as time: There exists a great evil. The people rise against it. They vanquish the evil, but they cannot destroy it. They can only contain it, so they seal it away.

    In the end, the seal fails. One might say that this is in fact its role. Stories, after all, rarely concern themselves with the period in which the seal holds and the evil is dormant. They begin when the seal fails, and the evil is released.

    You have been running for a long time, Ra Endymion.
