Subject: House of Horus
I’ve been digging through records, and here’s the truth: ██████ hasn’t just been quiet—he’s been building. The House of Horus has been at this for nearly ██ █████. █████ ███████ ██ planning, misdirection, power consolidation—all while staying just out of sight. That’s not patience. That’s something worse. He’s been building toward this for decades. And now? Every step we take?
██’██ ███████ ██ ███ █████.
The worst part? It’s not just how long he’s been at it. It’s where. ███ ██████████. Whatever it really is, it’s not just some fringe space. If Sarah’s right, ███ ██████████. isn’t just a separate realm—it’s feeding off the ██████ ██ ███ █████████. That means ██’█ ████████ ███ ██ ████.███ ████ ████—███ ███████’ ██████. The ones they built. The ones they rule. And ██████? He’s not just already there. He’s conquering this new world. He says he's ███████ ███████ ███ █████ (██████ ███ ███ ███████ ███ ██ ████████), ███ ███ █████ ██ ███ ██████, ███ ███ ███████ █████ ██ ████. If we don’t act fast, we’ll be dealing with a fully realized empire in a realm we barely understand.
Sarah had another good point—██ ███ █████ ███████ ████?███████ knew. Maybe she even tried to stop it. But the rest? The rest should have noticed. If ██████’s been carving up the █████████ to fuel this thing… the others must have noticed. Right? But getting a straight answer from any of them is going to be a nightmare. Even getting a meeting with ███████ ██████ would take time—time we don’t have. And frankly? I’d rather spend that time getting the Cafe to the True Barrow before ██████ makes his next move.
So that’s where we’re at. ██████ █████ ██ ██████████. The entire Otherside draining away. And a ticking clock. But we’ve still got a lead. We know where we’re going.
Let’s make it count.
