I'm inspired to write up a lil' fanfic featuring my primary Guardian, a human male Titan named Zo Dau-Rei There's this female Hunter I met a couple weeks ago while on a special recon mission for the commander on Mars. I was deep behind Cabal lines scouting movement from the Blind Legion. Word was they were moving a new piece of tech specifically geared towards crushing the Vex. I'm high on a dune scoping out the terrain when I hear a voice not to far from my right side. "You're a long way from Rubicon, big guy." If it wasn't for the fact she spoke English, I would've fired 1st and asked questions later. Still didn't stop me from taking a defensive. She de-cloaked and took a knee next to me as if the situation wasn't awkward at all. I'll never understand how Hunters can be so low key and casual, even facing the fact that if our position was blown, we'd have a full on Blind Legion platoon baring down on us with a weapon we have no idea the capability of is. "Secret mission from Zavala I'm guessing, right?" I smirk under my helmet and respond. "Perceptive of you, Hunter. So what's your excuse?" She simply shrugs her shoulders and continues to observe the area as I was. A few minutes pass before she speaks again. "I'm Mira, by the way. You got a name, Titan?" "Zo" I say while monitoring the continued Cabal movement. "Zo? As in Zo Dau-Rei? The Titan who reduced a Devil Walker to scrap metal with a superman punch? Wow. Didn't realize I was in the presence of a celebrity." All I could do was shake my head a bit. "That was a long time ago." I say in response. All of a sudden Gigas, my Ghost alerts me of incoming movement. A Blind Legion away team conducting a patrol. Mira's Ghost obviously let her in on the development as well. She clutched at her waist and whipped out a sleek red Hand Cannon. New Monarchy I could obviously surmise. "So, are we going to fight them, or fall back?" she asked. Gigas let me know she'd completed her scan, and I wasn't about to take on 45 grizzled, heavily armed Blind Legion veterans in an indefensible position. "We fall back. No need to fight them here." "Yes sir." She says summoning her Sparrow. "See ya' around sometime, Zo". And just like that, with a streak of purple light she was off. Hearing rumbling of a Cabal dropship, it was time for me to do the same. ~~~~ Last week I make my return to the tower to resupply and debrief the commander in person, as I always do being a high ranking officer in the Vanguard, when I hear Mira's familiar voice. "Well it's a small universe after all, eh?" Since I committed myself to the Stoneborn Order, I've focused solely on my duty to the Vanguard. But seeing this woman without her helmet or hood on made me do a double take. She was an Awoken. Pale greyish skin with glacier white hair that came to her shoulders. At a distance you'd mistake her for The Queen if it weren't for her eyes. Glowing orange like the purest of solar energy. I didn't take the time to notice on Mars because I was focused on the mission, but she was a curvy, athletically built woman. Clearly battle tested, as a physique like hers comes from nothing less then seeing the horrors the darkness throws at us daily and being up to task of beating them. A couple other Guardians near by took notice of her ample form. Can't say I blame them. Hell I think I even saw Rahool give a glance out of the corner of his eye. As she drew closer to me, I had to fight myself from looking at how her hips swayed as she walked. "Back from another harrowing mission I presume?" "The darkness won't rest in trying to destroy us. I won't rest to repay the sentiment." I say in response. Her eyebrow raises and she gives a coy smirk. "Spoken like a true Titan. By the light, are all of you like that?" she says semi jokingly. "Sorry. It's been a while since I've spoken candidly to anyone." Resting her left hand on her waist, she responds. "Well then, I guess I'm just going to have to teach you how to lighten up then, don't I?" Now my eyebrow was the one that raised. "And how do you plan on doing that?" I ask. "You go and turn in your reports. You resupply your stocks. Then, you and I go down to the city and we have dinner. As in actually cooked food. You remember what that is, don't you?" She says with the same coy smirk as before. Could you believe it? I was getting asked...no...ordered on a date by this Hunter. Before I even had the chance to say anything otherwise, she turns heads for the hanger. Rahool the old codger heard everything and chuckled to himself. The couple Guardians standing next to him going over their Engram schematics...both Exos were chuckling, too. All I could do was shake my head and go about my tasks. Sure enough, we did go into the city and have dinner. And after, we did other things that I'm not at liberty to say. Where things go with us now is a mystery. But I think I may have found the yang to my yin. The light works in mysterious ways.
