NAME: The Death Element GRIMOIRE CARD: There was once a guardian who went by the name of Uriah Maliki. He was rejected by his fellow hunters along with Cade. He was told he was not strong enough to be a guardian. From then on out he was determined to become a stronger or find something that makes him stronger and a better guardian. Uriah looked into the Nightstalker ways and he was rejected from that so he turned to weapons. He found that the Vex technology was able to time travel and so he stole all of the vanguard's information and technology on the Vex. He took his standard set of hand cannons given to all new hunter recruits. These hand cannons are all the same except that they all have different elemental damage. He tried to infuse all of them into one glorious gun by creating a paradox but he failed. He proceeded to do more and more research on this kind of thing. Uriah was out doing research on the moon one day and found this strange thrall. This thrall was different from the others. It had a black and blue glow to it. It also seemed to shift in and out of dimensions. He then snuck up on the thrall and took it captive. He took it back to his laboratory where he is trying to make progress. When he gets the thrall there he puts the thrall and the four hand cannons into the contraption. He turns the machine on and it blows up in his face. The machine is destroyed along with all of his research and all of the Vex technology and information. As he is looking at what he has done he is thinking to himself about how he will never be accepted as a guardian now because not only has he not accomplished anything he has destroyed all of the vanguard's intelligence on one of the enemies of the Traveler. He then proceeds to go into a rage and starts destroying everything that is left to destroy but all of a sudden a tear between dimensions opens and he is struck with a piece of metal that came flying out of it. Then he gets up and sees something on the other side so he grabs his shotgun and ties a rope to his ship and dives through the tear. He is on this strange planet that looks like little white specks on a pitch black background. Uriah walks around a big to see if he finds anything that could make up for his mistakes but finds nothing. On his was back to the tear he sees something on the opposite horizon. He decides head over to it and check it out. When he gets close enough to make out what the object is he realizes that it is a mob of black and blue glowing thrall around a black and blue glowing knight. The knight sees him and sends the thrall after him. Uriah was able to defeat the thrall but when he was fighting one of the thrall managed to cut the rope he was tied to. He started to panic because he was loosing sight of the rope but then he hears the knight yell. Uriah turns around to face the knight. He is about to charge him with his shotgun but then he sees the knight holding an unusually looking gun. The gun looked a lot like the hand cannons he has gotten when he entered his hunter training but parts of the gun were constantly changing color between an orangish red, a deep purple, and a bright light blue. The rest of the gun was a glowing black. He is frozen in disbelief. The knight started shooting but missed most of his shots because he had no prior training with this weapon. Uriah shot once in the side. It was just a little scratch. He was shocked back to reality and he then started to fight back. He rushed the knight and unloaded his shotgun into him. He did this until his ammo ran out. He then used his golden gun to finish him off. The knight's body disintegrated and all that remained of the epic battle was this strange, color changing, black based weapon. He took up the gun and he instantly felt a searing pain coursing through is veins, he then lost all control of his body and went stiff and started to float and then the gun floated out in front of him and it makes some sort of vapor stream that connected to Uriah's head and he blacked out. He woke up lying on the ground. His whole body ached and his had a burning sensation in his entire body. He got up and looked around for the weapon. He found that it some how had bonded to his leg like some sort of holster but there was no holster there just his leg that seemed to wrap around the gun. He pulled the gun out and his leg returned to its normal form. He also noticed that his whole body and all of his armor had turned to the strange glowing black and blue. The gun had corrupted him. He dropped the gun when he realized what this gun had done to him but as it dropped it instantly went to his leg and was holstered in his leg again. The gun have made a special bond with Uriah. It was his for as long as he lived. He started to wander back in the general direction that he came from. He wandered for what seemed like years trying to find the tear to get back to his dimension. He discovered many great things about the gun like how it can change the type of elemental damage it does. He found the tear as he was walking around but he couldn't see his ship on the other side so he was skeptical. He desired to get home so he went through and hoped for the best. He wound up on the moon in the deep tunnels of the hive. He was lost for months in the caves. When he finally emerged he was unable to get back to the tower to report what he saw and did so he was stranded once again. He was able to take this ship that he found deserted by a guardian who ended up being dead. He finally made it to the tower and he thought that Cade would be impressed with what he has found and accomplished except for the destroying all the Vex Intel and tech. When Cade saw Uriah he ran. Cade gathered all of the vanguard and the contained him and tried to explain what had happened. He had become one of the greatest enemies of the guardians and traveler. He had become Taken. They tried to bring him back to normal but Uriah was unwilling to go back to being a pitiful weakling. The vanguards decided that he must be killed before he causes to much damage. Uriah was killed but he fatally wounded some of vanguards. Shax was unable to personally compete in his crucible anymore because he had lost and eye in the fight against Uriah. All of the vanguards and the speaker agreed that they must destroy this corrupted weapon. They tried for many years to rid the universe of the taken endwelt hand cannon but could not find a way to destroy it so they locked it in a secret vault that was supposedly to be impregnable and was ironically named The Vault of Glass on Venus. But when the Vex took over Venus the guardians had to give up the Vault of Glass and so they put it in lock down and that was supposed to keep people or anything out.
