Why does he have to be so stubborn? The Vault is the last place I would willingly go. At least I'll have my Guardian.
"We can't go in there alone."
"Kabr did."
"....by himself....but not alone..."
"Could you be any more vague?"
"...His mind is theirs....they are one....One mind...One being...One time."
"Apparently you can."
"The Vault should be around the next corner. There it is."
It's beautiful. Ominous, but beautiful nonetheless. I don't know if we should take Kabr's Ghost with us. His mind seems broken. There's no telling what he experienced in there. Or how he got out, for that matter.
"That Spire. I've never seen it here before."
"The door is open. Someone must already be inside. Scanning for light......nothing. If someone is inside, they're too far in to detect."
"....lost...."
"Stay close. We're going in."
...........
.......
....
..
"...you must follow... follow the correct path....The path of Kabr...tested...you will be tested.... As he was."
"There is only one path."
"....your eyes....they are wrong.... they tell you things...things that are untrue....be weary in trusting them here...below your feet your trials begin."
I really wish he'd stop speaking in riddles.
"Below your feet? What does that mean."
"Here. There's an alcove beneath the ledge. It'll be tricky getting in."
"Careful."
.....
..
.
"Made it. Let's go."
"I have a bad feeling about this."
I feel strange. Like I'm being pulled down the path. My mind does not feel as if it's my own. I wonder, does he feel it too?
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Scanning Guardian. Nothing out of the ordinary. I guess he really doesn't feel it. What are these odd red lights? They aren't here for illumination. They must serve a purpose. But what?
"Do you hear that?"
"I hear nothing."
"Ack! AAAAAHHHHH!"
"Guardian?!"
"Aaahhggg. ..*pant*pant*. Ugh. I can hear them. The Vex. They know we're here."
"We should leave."
"....impossible....you don't have time... but time has you.....escape....no escape now."
"*pant*We push forward then."
Strange readings. Searching. Got it.
"Guardian, over here. I've found something."
"What is it?"
Armor? Here? Who would leave this?
"Scanning. Done. It seems to be made of Vex material. It's strong and incredibly light."
"Who could create such things?"
"He.....He who met the Gaze...and refused to not exist...."
He must mean Kabr. Strange. Why would he create an armor set just to leave it here?
"I'm putting it on."
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Noted."
......
....
..
"It fits. I feel....powerful. Like I have an army at my back."
I don't trust it. I'll have to keep a constant scan open on his vitals.
"This way. I've found a tunnel."
"Down there. A conflux? Oh no. The Vex! They're coming! Guardian, we must defend the conflux!"
"....Expunged....expunged....expunged...The Templar....He is here"

I am he as you are he as you are me and we all are together.

Dude... That was amazing! It was so intense! I'm loving this series so far I can't wait to see it progress and watch you grow as a writer Let me know when the next part drops!
-
The moment when Bungie's shitty story telling warrants fanfiction
-
I thought he created the relic not the armour.
-
Congrats on this new piece man. The pace, the dialogue style, it makes for a very vivid and flowing narrative. I´m going to link this to the main thread if it´s OK with you. I hope there´s more to come!
-
Make this real :(
-
i wished this would be not your work but bungies. great read!
-
Loved part 1 as well. So will repeat my comment i made on it. 10/10 not even cheesy. Actually sounds rather legitimate
-
Edited by ThawingFungus: 2/2/2015 12:01:01 AMIt sounds like they went the secret way to the Templar, underneath the very first chest. Maybe there really is something down there, or they made that grimoire up just so they could cover their laziness of not putting anything down there. Edit: just realized op wrote this himself... Damnit. Got myself excited for no reason :(
-
You could so write a book, you should this is just amazing work you've done
-
Bump. I really want to read part 3.
-
Awesome writing again. Is there a part 3?
-
Bumpity bump

Does this suggest that Kabr was spotted by a gorgon and lived? And I though he couldn't get any more hardcore!
