IV. Imperator's Cause of Death
4-1
I dreamed that the Imperator's statue stood before the Worldbearing altar,
Her gaze level with that of the god's.
Then, blood gushed out from the statue's orifices,
And the people, in cheers and elation, washed their hands in that golden blood.
The tyrant's life will end with violent death.
None will weep,
And all will cheer as her statue topples.
She will die before the dawn comes.[1]
… A vengeful aristocrat,
One whose title was stripped by the Imperator,
thus spoke.
4-2
We cannot agree with your excessive deeds.
You have imprisoned Tribios's split selves,
Demanding that divine authority regress into the ruler's mouthpiece.
We will reveal your future with the prophecy
And tell in truth…
Your crusade will indeed be a smooth path.
Yet in the same breath we see omens of your death,
A demise in an absolute, pure darkness.
Even so, please excuse us, as our eyes…
Continue to be drawn to your crown's flames…
… “Dux Fatorum”?
We don't exactly hate that name.[2]
… In the name of Janusopolis's priestess,
Holy Maiden, and oracle
Thus spoke
The Imperator's “Dux Fatorum.”
