The next golden age: part 1

This is the tale, of how the next golden age began. It all begins, with the one baron's dream. [u]Tower: last city[/u] Ikora and Cayde-6 stand at the vanguard table, going about their duties. Ikora: Guardians, destroy the skiff and continue with your mission. Cayde-6: Don’t mean to intrude, but I couldn’t help but notice that they're going after a king skiff. Ikora: Why would it matter. Cayde-6: Kings in those parts tend to have snipers hang out the back and shoot if guardians get close. I’ve lost one too many scouts to that trick. Ikora: Guardians, stay put. Cayde has informed me that they will ambush you if you get close. Cayde-6: One of them have a tracking rocket? Ikora: Yes, why? Cayde-6: tell them to switch it to guided mode and fly it straight into the rabbit hole. Ikora: Switch your rockets to guided and direct it into one of the holes on the skiff. Cayde-6: Tracking rockets. Never leave home without ‘em. Ikora: Recover anything of interest and proceed with the mission. I thought you didn’t like being in the vanguard, Cayde. Cayde-6: I don’t. [i]BUT[/i], it is fun to give tips to the young pups out there. Times like this when I get to take credit for their cool kills. Ikora: Are you never humbled by the fact that you’re training the next generation of light who will continue to allow the city to prosper. Cayde-6: I said I have fun giving tips to the young pups didn’t I? It’s only fair that whatever they kill with my advice, that I get the deed to the kill. Ikora: *chuckles* That fireteam recovered ship records. How about you decode it while I direct this strike. Cayde-6: sure, whatever….....Yep, I have, no clue how to crack this. Ikora: Then talk to Petra or Variks. Cayde-6: *mutters to himself* Great, either the scary, vengeful, Awoken lady or the creepy old fallen with an obsession with mines. Where are we finding our friends? Vestian outpost: Reef Petra: Oh, wonderful. The “charming” hunter wishes to speak with us. Awoken guard: Most hunters are that way Petra. You’ll have to be more specific. Petra: The one who is afraid of Variks. Awoken guard: Cayde? Petra: patch him through. Let’s see what he wants. *comm opens* Cayde-6: Hello gorgeous. Petra: I’ll have you know I know how to make even an exo scream in pain. Cayde-6:.......*Mumbles* maybe I should have talked to the creepy fallen. Anyway, some of our guardians downed a king skiff and recovered some records from the wreck. Don’t suppose you could help us crack it could you? Petra: Why not go to Variks with this? Cayde-6: Do I really need to answer that? *bad impression of variks* “hmmmmm, ship records yesssss?” Petra: I understand. Let’s have a look at these records. Cayde-6 transfers over the records. Cayde-6: Shoot me a message when you figure it out. Petra proceeds to translate and crack the records and finds an odd recording and runs it through a translator. Petra: Kolis, king barron. Odd, I’ve never heard a king recording before. Awoken guard: I don’t believe anyone has. Normally fallen wipe their ship records before they go down. Petra runs the recording. Kolis: I killed a “guardian” this day. He was not the first, but, I remember him. He was the first innocent dweller of this star that I had to kill. He fought valiantly and on my prime’s name, he should have killed me. When he made a tackle for me, I caught him and threw him as hard as I could. I drew my blade to finish him but when I saw his face….it was the same face. Only for a moment did I pause, until he made a desperate lunge for me. I drove a blade through him and destroyed his little servitor. I believe they call those things, “ghosts”. Petra: That….that isn't something I would have ever thought about. The one he killed, came back as a guardian. Kolis: His face haunted my thoughts. I was meant to be punished for what I did. He was risen by the great machine to exact revenge for everything we did. They call us fallen, this is a fitting name. We lost almost everything and threw away what little we had. We are fallen. *a long pause* I did not wish to kill them, it was demanded of my kell. Before they attacked us for what the devils had done, I saved a few groups of those “humans”. I fought three of those hive knights with nothing but my own blades in hand, and I allowed those humans time to escape. Chelchis, after all, did the same for us. Awoken guard: Isn’t that the kell of stone? Petra: Yes. Based on what the guardians found we believe Oryx attacked the fallen at some point. That kell was said to have, “stood before the maw.” I guess he was giving the other houses time to escape. Music starts playing in the background of the recording. Something ancient fallen. It sounds beautiful. A picture appears. It shows large buildings with fallen banners hanging over several of the buildings entryways. Petra stood in awe. Kolis: Even though I am of the same blood, let this music at least keep my spirit and honor from claiming the title “fallen”. *a long pause* But how can it? After all I’ve done? After all we’ve done? And we can’t even beg our gods for forgiveness, because the guardians have killed them, rightfully so. *another long pause* If only we could go to the guardians...beg them for forgiveness. After all we’ve done, I’d build a thousand walls for them to prove my sorrow. To pay for our sins. But what guardians would believe us? What human would trust us? And the awoken…...it’s all our fault. *a short pause before an alarm goes off* Vandal: Kolis! Missile inbo- *recording ends* Awoken guard:......Was that...is this genuine? Petra: Bring me Variks. Tell him to bring that box with him. [b]Now.[/b] The awoken guard quickly retrieves Variks with his small box. Variks: You, have summoned me? Petra: Variks, can you turn on the box of yours. Variks pushed a button on the box and it begins to play music. Variks: This...holds great value to me. It is pre-whirlwind music. Music Variks’ kind once made…. Variks turns to box back off and as soon he does, Petra plays the music from the recording and displays the picture. Variks: What is this? Do you wish to play tricks on Variks? Petra: This was recovered from a king baron’s skiff. A recording came with it. Kolis was the baron’s name. Petra plays the recording to Variks Variks: This is…..All that is fallen, truly, is not lost. Variks has not felt this feeling for a long time. We must bring this before the guardians immediately. Petra: I think we’ll deliver this to them personally. We, as the reef and the city, need to discuss the matter of this recording. Guard, ready my ship. I’ll be bringing Variks with me. Petra and Variks boarded her ship and made haste for the tower.
