The Society of Fallen and Guardians part 1 A Destiny story by Gamesmasternen98 As I looked around another abandoned city the rumble was simply everywhere and this city looked like it had been looted and destroyed over the course of the last centuries. Entire skyscrapers exposed to what was left of Earth's nature and buildings with nothing more than a pile of bricks to remind one of what could have been around centuries ago. I was somewhere far from the now guardian dominated nation of what used to be Russia and into territory that only fallen explorers dared to enter. I'm more of an explorer than I am a guardian myself and taking in the feeling I get when I discover lost civilization pieces from centuries ago gives me a light feeling in my heart that can't be beat. I'm a Warlock that was recruited as part of a guardian program to understand life before the darkness came to be and I plan to accomplish that goal with pride. Exploring is in my nature and for me it's the thought of discovery that helps me cope with the loneliness of being alone sometimes for months until I made my way back to a guardian outpost. On my back was my prized weapon, Bad Juju was something I took with me on almost all my journeys and I never had to worry about running out of ammo with it and it made a great hunting tool for stragglers and the Fallen. I hadn't shot a burst in over a week but I still wanted to remain careful in case I came into contact with an entire Fallen fleet. There were some more crumbling building nearby but as I looked ahead I saw one building that looked to be still standing on the exterior with only rust and age being its downfall. It was one of the few still standing buildings so I decided it would be a good idea to start exploring. The building appeared to be an old hotel and was still fairly spacious despite the rust over time and the rumble. There were still elevators and a front desk used for checking in and some furniture left over. I pulled out my ghost to get an elevator working again and I went up a couple floors. I looked around and could still see rooms with the doors off. The rooms still had mattresses left over or the bathrooms were left with mold all over but some of them were torn up overall. I was nearing the end of the hallway and I had still seen nothing. I suddenly heard I sound that sounded like someone tripped over an old lamp or table. It was near the end of the hallway so I saw the room and decided to take a peek. Inside I could see a fallen vandal who was sitting on the floor with an old electronic sound device on his lap and an old music device next to him. I decided I'd take him by surprise so I grabbed my gun and rushed in from the left side. "Hold it right there fallen scum". I yelled with my gun now aimed in. "Please guardian know that I'm not here to hurt you but to ask you the wonders of the human as a race". Said the vandal with a worried look. I lowered my gun and looked as he sat down messing around with the device trying to get it to work. The vandal then revealed his cape and took out a notebook that by the way the front was titled most likely once belonged to someone of a young age. "I found this long ago and have since been translating it to find out how the young humans used to live. Is it true that life worked like this with school, dealing with bullies, problems with parents, and relationships with females". Said the vandal with a look of curiosity. "I wasn't alive during that time but stories from long ago say that it was a much more simple time back then and only humans would go to war with one another". I replied with a look of despair at what Earth had become. "Guardian do you know what this music box here is or how it works because I found it along with this". Stated the vandal as he pulled out an old record with some dust on it titled Led Zeppelin 3. I pulled out my ghost to see if he could fix it and the vandal was able to set the record into place as the record began to play. I looked at the song list and the Immigrant Song was the tune that was playing now. The sounds brought instant harmony to my ears and for a moment I was lost in the music. "This sounds delightful and I found a lot of these records one day while I was exploring." Said the vandal as he took off his cape to reveal more pockets with other artifacts. Many of them were more records and written documents down to old electronics and children's toys. The Vandal took out some of these objects including two old electronic objects titled Xbox One and Playstation 4 on the electronic items. There was a non functional TV in the room and from stories told I knew how I TV worked. My ghost got it working for me and I looked through the menu on the Playstation 4. I clicked on a game titled The Uncharted Collection and began to play. The vandal watched as I started to play and for the first time in a while I was having fun. The music played in tune with the game and then I decided it was time to play the Xbox. I pulled up a game called Halo the Master Chief Collection and I played for a couple hours. I had become so invested in these virtual worlds with the characters being Master Chief and Nathan Drake. For me it was so interesting to learn about these characters and the situations they went through. In halo there was an alien war like the one we have in this world and I could see many comparisons. For a moment it was just me and my new vandal friend as he sat watching me and sometimes asking questions as I enjoyed this virtual world long forgotten. Suddenly during the game an animal peered into the room and looked at me and the vandal. I was worried as I heard bad stories about the dogs that still remained on Earth but it didn't attack us just yet. "That's my dog I believe they are called". Said the vandal as he looked back at me "I found him on an old journey and we became friends so I take him with me now and we bond together." Continued the vandal calling for his dog now. I began to pet the dog now and he was wagging his tail like any old lap dog before the war. He licked onto my helmet a couple times and for a second I giggled. "Guardian why haven't you killed me yet when I was in training I was told guardians are just savages who want the world destroyed". Said the vandal as he was laying down on an old mattress. "I was told the same thing in training but now I really wonder if you fallen are really just like us." I replied smiling back at my new friend. "The worlds all for us to explore imagine going on adventures together and making our own little society where guardians and Fallen can live together". Said the vandal with a look of hope and sound of hope now coming over him. I thought to myself for a moment and realized that maybe this war really wasn't worth fighting and maybe everything was just our nature and lust for a fight. I decided maybe it was time to join him for my adventures and bond with him for years to come in the same way one would a great friend. Now there was only one thing to say but a million things to do to start this future society. I'm going to call it the Society of the Guardian Fallen. I know it's a little short but this is just a basic introduction to a story I plan to constantly add on to so how was it?
