'''''Dreams of Unity''''' is a short story that is part of [[The Horus Heresy series]] by [[Nick Kyme]]. It was published as Day 12 of the Advent 2017 Subscription.
It has been many long years since the fall of the Thunder Warriors. After the last battles of Unity, the legions of genhanced warriors were slaughtered by the Emperor's Custodian Guard on the Master of Mankind's orders. But a handful survived... Now one of the last few Thunder Warriors gets caught up in dangerous events that engulf the Throneworld – even as he is hunted by one of the Emperor's praetorians.{{Fn|1}}
As Heruk was dying, Tagiomalchian gave him thanks for the aid before questioning if he was of the Thunder Legion. After admitting he was, the Custodian was surprised to see that they still existed. Tagiomalchian readied to leave, but Heruk asked for one last favor: to be given an honoured death. The Custodian respectfully agreed to his request. While Tagiomalchian stood over him and raised his sword, Heruk released his grip on reality and remembered the raising of the Lightening Banner atop Mount Ararat, the triumphant cries of victory. He was back on mountain, in the Thunder Warriors' greatest moment, his comrades: Kabe, Vezulah, and Gairok standing beside him. As the sword was driven through his heart, the Thunder Warrior began to weep in joy and whispered "For Unity…".
