[spoiler]This installment of Exotic History is made possible by combatticus[/spoiler] Taraksor watched as some of the Fang hopped out of the Skiff only to be surprised by the Guardians. They fought valiantly but failed miserably as the Light of three Guardians drove them back. He watched in horror as the other ships made landing. He grabbed his rifle and started to run out in cloak when Drevis popped out of her Skiff and dove down. She roared in furious anger and took the Guardians on. "You have messed with the Baroness!! Now feel my blades!!!" She single handedly kept all three at bay, even managing to sink her blades into one of them, but that one was back up soon enough. She spotted Taraksor rushing over and yelled. "Get back you moron! Get another Fang and regroup, the Fang must survive!!" Taraksor paused. She grinned at him and give it her all. He knew what she knew, she wasn't going to make it out of this. He tensed up and began to run for the caves just as a large Void explosion finished her off. She screamed in agony then disappeared into the Void, her body floating and turning a purple hue before vanishing completely. He didn't look back as he ducked behind cover and waited. The Guardians appeared to celebrate and slapped each other on the back before getting on sparrows and leaving. Taraksor yelled at them when they were out of view and slammed his fists into the rock. He looked at the bloodshed on top of the hill and grew angry at them. He went back to the caves and sat on the rock silently. The Servitor came from hiding and made a click noise. It watched Taraksor silently as he turned its back to it. Then it made a click noise again and began to glow, receiving an incoming message. "Hello? Is there any Eliksni there?" The voice was slightly ominous and older. Taraksor turned and stared at the Servitor. "I know you are there. The Guardians found you earlier, I offer a proposition." Taraksor stared in silence. "Wolves are falling, other Houses are breaking, other Houses are dying... except one. The House of Judgement would like to offer sanctuary for those who accept it, for this war is almost over." Taraksor barked at the Servitor. "Why should I listen to you?! For all I know this could be a trick." "Trick? No. I am Eliksni, I fight for Eliksni. I must survive for House of Judgement to survive. That is all I ask." Taraksor paused and remembered the words of Drevis. "And if I want the Silent Fang to survive?" ".... Then... You will be Silent Fang for House of Judgement. But House Judgement all the same." "Maybe I don't want to?" "Then die, for the Wolves are no longer hunting but now being hunted." Taraksor watched the Servitor silently. "What must I do?" "Wait patiently. My friends will get you here safely. For the House... Eliksni must survive." *** Taraksor stared down at his rifle in the hallway, still remembering the past and what he was now. The Silent Fang were dead, there was no Eliksni uprising, only the House of Judgement stands now. He had heard of Wolves hiding on Mars but the Guardians and Queen's Wrath were dealing with them now. He sighed and stood up. He placed his prized gun on his back and walked back towards his station. His crippled arm lied silently by his side. He spoke softly to himself as he walked forward. "Some day, we will rise bretheren. Eliksni will rise again... but not now, for House of Judgement is in control... but not for long." He spoke the last part in a mockery of Variks as he blended into the shadows, hiding from sight and going about his duties once more. Thank you all for tuning in!
