Beloved by my brethren, and shunned by my own
a dishonoured warrior; I stand alone.
My failure was great, no punishment too small
I was sentenced to one that outweighs them all.
Those before me have fought and died
we all bore a mark that we tried to hide.
The instrument of the Covenant, whose duties are great
though I despise others, it's my existence I hate.
Through the Unggoy rebellion, and the Lekgolo murder attempt,
my kind have served the Prophets, and from their wrath been exempt.
All of my kind eventually die and are praised for their ultimate sacrifice
they join the ones who have gone before; the ones who have given their lives.
My life before long shall be over, and I will join them soon,
on my own horizon, I see my death, ahead it looms.
The Prophet's have a quest beseeched me; I shall serve them well,
though the place to which I am headed, can only be likened to hell.
A desolate tract with sandstorms abound is my final destination
I accept the quest and ready myself without fear or hesitation.
The Heretic camp is not far away from the spot where I have been dropped
I raise my head and see the Phantom; now a fast moving dot.
I have made it inside the camp's confines and I'm close to the leaders room
With every step I take however, brings me closer to my doom.
On the stone cold floor I lay as the sight drains from my eyes,
I look at my assailant and his sword begins to rise.
This is the fate I was destined to meet and I am grateful that it is here
I close my eyes and I am at peace for I know that my end is near.
I hear a swoosh and my life is gone in as quick as seconds time
I feel an overwhelming sense of joy as the bells of my life cease to chime.
I, from the long line of Arbiters, have met my ultimate fate,
my life's been extinguished and I can now rest, I can join my caste.
