The first Titans must have thought all of their successors to be stereotypical jocks because the barracks is on the opposite side of the massive campus from the training grounds or "Exclusion zone" as many vets like to joke. A flat red clay landscape stretching around the entire western campus perimeter; perfect for endless runs, mock battles, and strategic planning in the most spartan of conditions (That rings a nice bell, Spartan... Wish we were called that). Anyway, as I run at top speed before the final bell toll, my ghost decides to finally appear and give me an update. "Your late again" He said as he floats by my head, near my shoulder. He has the standard ghost skin except for jet black lines along his core/eye and one on each part of his shell. His voice is a simple English style but he has developed a nasty habit to be unreliable and unsentimental to many things including my schedule... Go figure. "Thank you Bolts for Brains, that's why I'm running." He admitted a fake robotic laugh just to piss me off. "Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny Human. And I hope you know that if you would wake up with everyone else...." "And if you would wake me up with everyone else we wouldn't have this problem now would we?" "I am a Ghost, not a Mida Multi-Tool, I was designed for practical functions not useless features." (His sense of humor is very appealing no?) "Well you could still be helpful..." "And you could get up on time. Yet we haven't seen that yet have we?" "Shut up, Charles..." (And yes he named himself Charles.) He grunted and disappeared from sight. I rolled my eyes and continued running until I reached the small planning building at the edge of the training grounds. I quickly got inside and sat down just as the bell rang off in the distance. I wiped the sweat off my brow and controlled my breathing to a whisper. "Punctual as always, Cadet No Name." The Sergeant said as he scratched my name off the holographic board. It dissipated and brought up the logo of the campus, a circle encompassing a Solar, Arc, and Void symbol with the name 'Champion Training Grounds' along the bottom. The Sergeant sat down in his chair and began his speech. "Today we will be preforming drills with Hunters and Warlocks on the Northern side of the campus.(The Venus jungle region is that way.) This will be going on for a week as it is the last test before graduation." Many of the Titans groaned. "Yes I know it's difficult to work with Hunters but the Warlocks will compensate for their idiocy." The Sergeant said with a snicker. "Fireteam training begins at 09 45 until then we do our normal routine. So everyone outside and ready in four minutes of else!" Half of the class was already heading for the door before he finished his last sentance. We all rushed the half mile run and sat in the dusty soil ready to begin. "This aught to be interesting" I thought to myself "I finally get to really work with somebody else for a change..." https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/121866467/0/0 link to first chapter https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/127939965/0/0 link to third chapter.
