Summary
There was no pity in Arcturus’s gaze, no affection, but neither was there disdain. What filled his eyes was something far more unsettling—something heavy and calculating, as though he were measuring Sirius with a precision no one else ever had. Cold and deliberate, it was the look of a man who saw not a grandson, but a tool, a piece in a grander scheme.
“The time has come for us to return to our roots,” Arcturus began, his voice steady, like the pronouncement of fate itself. “We’ve allowed ourselves to care too much for the opinions of sheep. We’ve let slip the traditions, the magic that defines our blood. And in doing so, we’ve bowed to the world. When, in truth, it is the world that should bow to us.”
Or: Faced with their looming ruin, the Black Family decided to take a Targaryen approach to solving their problems.
Or: They are to be married in the tradition of their House.

Summary
Okay, strictly speaking, Regulus's plan was to destroy the Horcrux without drinking any of the potion. But he'd planned out a meticulous counter-ritual, aided by an incredibly disrespectful rummaging through Father's study immediately after the funeral, that would extract the soul piece from the container and extinguish it, leaving the container intact as a sort of... well, a trophy. Something to wave in the Dark Lord's face at the inevitable moment of reveal.
He'd assumed Horcruxes were impervious to Fiendfyre, because really, it's a basic destructive force. What's the point of going through with the ritual to create one if it can be destroyed by an over-eager eight-year-old?
However, it seems that Horcruxes are not, in fact, impervious to Fiendfyre, and Regulus may have just destroyed the soul piece, as well as the container with it.
Oops.
