Augustus Tiberius. First of his name. General of the Red Legion of the North. The Faithful Sword of the God King, Golgoth, flew to the floating Rune ship, Absomet. His hand held a decapitated head that had its eyes closed as if it were asleep.
The cut around the neck was not clean. The blade must have been dull, for the wound was jagged, and the flesh almost looked torn apart.
The Rune ship Absomet was one of the Three Herald Class Warships of the Empire. It was five hundred miles long and three hundred across. It possesses an enlightened spirit that had grown with the Tiberius family and was responsible for directing troops at the forefront of battle.
With the help of the Enlightened Spirit, Absomet was sentient.
Absomet in its own right, was a weapon of absolute destruction. It could house a million soldiers and all their additional machinery of war.
