Hey Guardians! Thanks for showing interest in my first ever Fanfic! Feel free to leave comments and suggestions below positive or negative any feedback is appreciated! Thanks for reading! And sorry for the delay! //-"It's really well balanced, I'm definitely going to keep this." I started to turn around while admiring my new weapon. Skye materialized in front of me. "[i]Uh...Phoenix."[/i] "Yeah Skye?" "[i]Look[/i]." I gazed up at the area ahead of me which was engulfed in flames. The fire must've started from when the sniper kept missing its shots, the forest roared at me with a bellowing ferocity. "....Oops."-// I felt the fire heat my armor and in turn my body. I started to sweat. "[i]Phoenix we need to get you out of here now. That armor doesn't have a cooling system and your core temperature is rising by the second.[/i]" I felt the urgency in her voice. I looked down at my hands as my body started to tremble. The constant abuse of the blink ability has left me exhausted. My muscles burned annoyingly and with the heat from this hell storm it was too much to bear. I started to wobble and my vision faded. The sound of branches snapping and popping exploded into the air. Debris started to fall all around me. I fell to one knee. "[i]Phoenix you have to get up now!!"[/i] Her words fell deafly upon my ears. Everything was muffled. My body was drenched in my own perspiration. I felt heavy flaming debris hit my back and my helmet. I fell face first to the ground. My helmet beeped wildly with buzzers and my visor alarmed red flashing lights but it didn't matter. I saw Skye in front of me....her angled chassis jarred repeatedly as her central eye was onlooking in pain. I felt horrible that she had to see this but I was more afraid than anything. As I lay there I stared at my hand that was outstretched in front of me. I saw the fire rage on mercilessly killing its victims. Trees were fully engulfed along with the brush surrounding it. The onslaught of branches fell to the ground further spreading the flames. "Well this sucks" I thought to myself. I tried to move my limbs but they ignored my call. I was motionless. If a Ghost could cry, Skye would've doused these flames with her tears...She continuously screamed at me, [i]"Not like this!! Not Like this!! Please Phoenix please!! Get up!! You have to get up!! You're going to die!![/i]" I felt the flames catch my foot. They raided up my legs towards my lower back. They jumped onto my swords and ran towards my neck. I felt them violently grab my head. I couldn't breathe. I was fully engulfed in flames. The intense burning sensation all over my body went numb. My eyes have been closed for some time now. I accepted my fate. It's not one I liked but these were the cards I was dealt. As I lay there on the ground I found myself in a dark translucent realm within my mind. Probably my escape from reality and the realism of this fate. It was then an angelic female voice entered my mind, "Use your Light young Guardian..." I responded, "wha- who are you?" The voice spoke again, "I am Alpha Lupi, I am the one who has given you life again. This is not your Destiny. Use your Light." It sounded as if multiple voices were speaking to me at once all through one entity. I spoke, "so I was reborn about..hmm I don't know five to ten minutes ago...kinda don't know how to use my Light...whatever that may be...is there a switch I need to flip or?" The angelic voice responded, "Wow...my Ghosts are really picking at the bottom of the barrel huh?...good Guardians are so hard to come by nowadays. Oh well you win some you lose some." It was then the dark realm started to fade to white. I thought to myself, "yep. I'm definitely dying now." I spoke out not knowing if the entity that once spoke was still there, "I apologize for my naive demeanor. I meant no disrespect. This is all just attacking me at once and it's a bit much for me to process. My Ghost hasn't explained to me what Light is or how to harness it. I-" The body of the entity appeared in front of me and I stopped speaking immediately. A female figure garbed in Romanesque White Robes accented with ornate white and gold armor slowly descended towards me. Her robes flowed and danced effortlessly through the air from her beautiful form. The air around her was glowing. I knew then that she was an entity like no other. She matched my gaze and stopped in front of me at eye-level. The entity hovered slightly over where I was standing. She spoke, "Young Guardian" she paused and raised her hand to push close my mouth due to the fact that my mouth has been wide open the entire time she was descending towards me. I was completely awestruck. She continued, "the Light is your weapon against the Darkness. It is always within you. Flowing through you. It is an extension of yourself. Wield it properly and nothing will harm you." I motioned towards her and started to speak when she laid her hand on my chest over my heart. "Calm your storm Guardian, I know the questions you ask but also know everything will be explained in time. I promise." Her hand started to glow on my chest. My body immediately tensed from the surge of energy throughout me. The entire realm we were in was battered with a blinding light emanating from my body. I didn't feel tired or fatigued anymore. I felt. Alive. End of Chapter 3 Pt. 1.
