Robutte Guilliman, who had spent more than many a painstaking year arranging for the gate's construction, was only barely restraining any outward signs of distaste while Magnus the Red shook his head in disappointment.
"It has been a while...brothers," Horus opened up.
"Indeed it has," Magnus responded. "How long has it been since we have been in front of this palace? On our way to visit our Father?"

"Sir, is there truly a-"
"I am giving you an order."
In frustration, Cypher sighed. He had no way of defying a Primarch, after all. Even though it was his double that gave him this opportunity, he still could not take it.
