He's also the only one of the few outside the ranks of WestCoast that knows what today is. It's the 27th of January 2071, the day WestCoast was founded. 56 years ago today we started something special... Today I will also announce my retirement.
Atheon sleeps forever now. Last I heard Crota is in hiding, too afraid to face DadOfDestiny anymore. I honestly feel that I've given all that i have to give. My work is finished it's time to pass this on to the younger generation. Out of the corner of my eye i notice Zamzimbzar98 speaking into his collar comms. Shortly afterwards the head of his Special Events Security Detail (a not so young looking Wesbot8) began positioning his guys as if to restore order. Not today my young friends. I activated my comms and keyed in a number I haven"t used in awhile. A couple seconds later a deep southern drawl responds with, hey it's been awhile Rich. What can I do for you?
DorianCherokee was as good as they
come, big on discipline but huge on respect and doing things proper. I asked for one last favor. Not long after, I watched both
Zam and Wes as they listened to the comms and I smiled as they answered in unison. "Yes sir" is all they responded with. As the room quieted down I announced to the group of Guardians that I have shared so much with, that I have decided to retire. I tell them that I hear the flyfishing is good this time of year off the coast of Ishtar Sink.(got more than a few chuckles out of that) I've been wanting to try it for years. I assure them that I will stay in touch. But It's time for me to move on. Tonight however is a celebration, time for one more dance. (well... what we Hunters call dancing anyways) Now
where did those Titans get to?
The End

Damn very well written! I'm thinking retirement probably got cut short with the attack on the tower.

Maybe in the next chapter you'll get a promotion to DoD raid master and get your own school (after a horrible accident leaves you crippled or something) lmao... Maybe with a special sparrow built just for you. Hmmmmm

I'm glad to be the source of your financial gain in those early years. Perhaps you could have made me sound cooler.... Robotic leg, perhaps?

Thanks Win, and yes I think the old Hunter will die peacefully somewhere, and be brought back at some point with a new ghost and a new tale. Something about the Wolves and the Trials of Oairis no doubt. I need to read all the lore before I do another one though.

What a treat! Great story Rich. Everyone knows - when a great story ends with “the END” it’s just the beginning. It means that it’s time for some R&R (camping perhaps). More adventures awaits somewhere far beyond galaxies. I think this is the beginning of something special – it’s a pleasure to be a member of DoD WC.

Very nice!! Well done!

And I thought you might be off on some classified mission...

I like it Rich. Love the grimoire feel to it. Keep them coming.
-
Good stuff my friend, although my wife sure does hate this game so I don't know if she'd take care of any of you.........

Great work, Rich!! Hoping to read more memoirs. Something tells me that character Rich is going to be pulled back in from retirement to lead the WestCoast charge again. Possibly when the Queen sends out her distress call for assistance against the House of Wolves rebellion...?

*Stands up and claps* That was fun. :) Good job rich. Glad work allows time for this.
