4.0

A prequel short story to the forthcoming novel Blood of Iax. this introduces the characters of Kastor and Polixis (geddit?), two Ultramarines Primaris Marines whose bond of brotherhood goes deeper than Chapter ties alone. Apothecary Polixis comes before Chaplain Kastor to make a confession, relating to his brother the tale of his last mission, and the sin he committed.

A small, self-contained story, despite the slightly on the nose character names this manages to be both a nice setup for the upcoming novel and a satisfying (albeit brief) exploration of Kastor and Polixis, their roles and the nature of Primaris Marines in the Ultramarines.
