Sights and Sounds of The Tower. 3. Xur

"I've seen these before". Xur shook his head and flicked one hand dismissively as he transacted with a female Titan. "Look closer to see what is needed". Tresk frowned, the Warlock gesturing with his hands. "What do you mean? Is there anything more than I am seeing here?". "There is always more to see". "You know what I mean Xur". "I know less than I did. Perhaps..." Tresk growled and ground his teeth. After a moment he forced himself to relax and took a deep breath. He watched a Hunter eagerly exchange coins for an exotic legacy engram and shook his head. "You know that is not enough for what's out there. Not any more". Xur turned to regard him fully. "You don't know what's out there". Tresk snorted and stared confidently into the bright yellow eyes above the sea of small tentacles filling the mysterious vendors hood. "I've risen from the dead. I've traveled across this system. I've fought and defeated Fallen, Vex, Cabal and Taken. I've traveled into the Vault Of Glass and owned it. I've journeyed into The Black Garden and bested everything I faced. I've fought Crota and slain him with his own sword. I've taken a part of his soul to conquer the Dreadnought and I've killed his father. I have part of Oryx's sword on my back and I travel from planet to planet destroying his army". He flicked his hand dismissively at a Hunter marvelling at his new Ice Breaker sniper rifle. "You used to sell tools to help us. Now it seems you are reluctant to do so. You peddle what [i]was[/i] needed, not what [i]is[/i] needed". Xur turned aside to complete a purchase from a Future War Cult Warlock. "Infant". Tresk snapped his arm out to shove Xur aside, but it barely moved. He struggled to move, strained to reach the cowled figure, but his arm stayed still. He tried to take a step forward, but his leg refused to even twitch. "I can't move!" "Yes. I am a servant of the Nine". "I know" the Warlock snarled as he fought to control his own body. "No, you don't", Xur replied simply. "You know little". Tresk panted with the effort to make his body move. [i]There are things here that would break you[/i], Xur's words burst in his mind. Even though Tresk could see Xur talking with another Guardian, somehow he also saw Xur turn to face him again. It was as if there were two, or maybe one split in two. [i]There is much you do not know, cannot hope to understand[/i], the Xur facing him said. [i]There are things out there that would crush you with the barest thought and beauty that would shatter your sanity should you behold it. The universe is a maelstrom of sentient energies, churning vortices of powers that only The Nine can watch and understand. You, The Guardians are but tiny pieces. The Nine watch you and assist you where and how appropriate through me. What I offer is what is suitable for where you are and what you do. Suitable for the balance of all things. Do not wish for more. If more is needed it will be given, but feel terror if more is needed because terror you would surely face.[/i] As a bubble bursting, suddenly the noise of The Tower surrounded Tresk once more and the pressure holding him still vanished. There was only one Xur now, exchanging coins from an Exo Titan for brightly colored gauntlets. The Warlock slowly backed away. [i]What just happened?[/i] his Ghost asked in a frightened voice. "What do you mean?" Tresk replied in a voice equally as shaken 'I couldn't reach you. Suddenly, you were not there. You were gone'. Tresk continued to stare at Xur. 'How much do we know about him?' 'Xur?' 'Yes'. 'Searching... Nothing..." 'What do you mean nothing?' There was...something, but it looks like the information has been sealed. I cannot access it. Let me search further... No, nothing is accessible. Everything about Xur has been locked away...by the Speaker!' The Warlock slowly turned away, though casting frequent glances over his shoulder at the stooped and cowled figure. 'I think we need to be wary, Ghost. I think we need to be very careful around him'.
