Yes, my beloved diary... It is time… I may be young. But do you think it is easy to become the youngest Shas'o of Tau History? My classmates from war academy are still trying to become Shas'uis, yet I reach to the top of the chain of command by jumping instead of running.
Remember diary. Remember what my teacher said to me? "Sending you far far away from the sept worlds to explore dangerous planets is the Greatest Good of all for Tau."
He was right... Of course he was right diary. What's on your mind? Whatever... He is right because only I, have the great potential to clean the dangerous planets for expansion. I have my destiny and I'll follow it as my teacher asked me to... I'll conquer new planets, extend the empire's borders. That's my destiny. That's why they call us the expendables. No, you stupid diary. They call us the expandables. We are the heroes that will enlarge the borders of Tau Empire and the Greater Good.
Here we are... Awaiting inside the void between the stars , the darkness that holds all light together above the twin planets of fate. We are on the brink of our first taste of sweet victory and I will drink that nectar as I see the enemies of the Greater Good perish. It is not my wish to see life fade, diary. But as a Warrior of Fire, my duty is to destroy, annihilate, vindicate, crush and then destroy the enemies of Tau'va.
As a first job in the morning, even before my ritual of the Cleaning of Body and Soul, I will slay the Eldarkin. I will see their existence extinguish under the brilliance of my tools of destruction. They, as the ignorant fools they are, with all their arrogance, denied a chance to become one with eternal light that is Tau'Va.
As I was a young Shas'el in the Fire Academy, when I first started to convert my thoughts to written texts with your help, my loyal diary, do you remember how I was naive to think this universe that is darkness as I see it now, is ruled on the principles of reason.
But I see now, races that populate this darkness, choose to become a part of it, rather than bring light to it. But enough of this. I am no philospher of the Caste of Water. I am a warriorborn and breed, and as my duty, I will see the darkness, that calls itself Eldar, destroyed. Because they are incapable of understanding reason, I am sure as Tau'va is the only truth that every question seeks, Caste of the Venerable Ethereals will understand my act of violance.
First the glorious and invincible Commander Puretide… Then the dauntless and triumphant Commander Farsight... Also the elegant but relentless Commander Shadowsun... And now me: Commander Iceflame. Pioneers of the greater good. Hopes of our great expansion.
All shall see diary, all shall see...
