This is an original short story about Destiny. By me, with idea's from fellow forum users. Just something to occupy my time and yours. Keep reading and check the "View entire post" for additional chapters. I have 12, there all about 1 page long. I'm not the best writer, or a journalist, or an english college major so expect errors and probably horrible story telling, but people like it, so I'll share it here. I already posted it, but it's in the wrong spot and it's a mess. I'll try to keep this one a lot more neat. Expect a lot of editing, other than that, enjoy the ride! All future chapters are in the reply. Chapter 1: The great divide After the Collapse, the King of the Reef abandoned his Queen, his family, and his people. It is said that he is now a Guardian protecting humanity and fighting for the light. The darkness is coming, and soon it will consume us all. Those were the last words spoken by the King of the Reef. The Speaker, bound to the Tower by the traveler’s law, has given up life in return for immortality. His sole purpose is to serve the Traveler and any Guardians who need his assistance. Look for the man in the mask. For he is not alone. Forever he will find you. The Queen, ruler of the Awoken, is stressed out over the wars; they seem to never end. With her now controlling the Fallen, her Army has only gotten bigger. She relies heavily on her Royal Guard to keep her safe; they have sworn their lives to it. They know the darkness is coming and they're ready to fight. Something in this universe gives us life, but with life there is also death. You cannot have the light without the dark. Guardians, resurrected from the dead, now serve as the Army of the Traveler. Some believe them to be heroes; others view them as the enemy. Although we have no choice, once chosen, there is no choosing a side. As we are forged in light, we are the good guys. Out there somewhere, there is a brave soul ready to help aid the Queen on her conquest to unravel the truth. There are people out there who want her dead, and there are people who will just look the other way. It's like no one can be trusted, not even your own family. What has this war done to us? What will the end make of us? Only the strong will survive. With so much confusion and blood shed, it's easy to understand why people are so negative. I can't really blame them, said Diana Hawk, a Royal Guard, who has her own motives and misguided understanding. She wants to use the Queen to get to the Speaker, she knows deep down they're working together, she just can't prove it, and if she tries, she'll blow her cover. Diana was abandoned as a child, and left to die. Ever since then she has lived a sheltered life hiding from the truth. Not even she knows who she really is or where she is going. Alone in the world with no family, Diana is ready to tackle it all. Watch her story her unfold through the eye's of a misguided individual.
