~~[[Guardian]]s~~ are warriors forged in the [[Traveler]]'s [[Light]], a final hope in a universe that is slowly falling into darkness.

Guardians are warriors forged in the [[Traveler]]'s [[Light]], a final hope in a universe that is slowly falling into [[darkness]].

Chosen from the dead by the Traveler's [[Ghost]]s, Guardians are those rare few able to wield the Light as a weapon. For centuries they have defended the City. But that defense cannot hold forever.

Chosen from the dead by the Traveler's [[Ghost]]s, Guardians are those rare few able to wield the Light as a weapon. For centuries they have defended the [[The Last City|City]]. But that defense cannot hold forever.

Now, with the [[Darkness]] rising again, the time has come to retake our lost worlds. The Guardians who lead the way will save [[human]]ity - and become legend.

[[Hunter]]s stalk the wilderness beyond the [[City]], harnessing the [[Light]] to reclaim the secrets of our lost worlds. They are daring scouts and stealthy killers, expert with knives and precision weapons. Hunters blaze their own trails and write their own laws.

Line 28:

She leaves the [[Sparrow]] and climbs a long way across spars of volcano rock and between vents of blue fire. Down below the [[Ishtar Academy|Ishtar]] ruins spark with skirmish light but the guns seem as distant and brief as the constant starfall and the brooding crater high above. She is alone on the rock. She goes on with her head down so as to fight the sense that she is going to fall up off the world and burn like an inverse meteor.

The message that brought her to this place had no sign but she could hear [[Cayde-6|Cayde]] in it. [[Draksis, Winter Kell|Draksis]] in the Cinders it said. Is it true?

The message that brought her to this place had no sign but she could hear [[Cayde-6|Cayde]] in it. [[Draksis, Winter Kell|Draksis]] in [[the Cinders]] it said. Is it true?

And also: Remember your promise.

At dawn she finds a sentry and kills it with her knife. Its throat bleeds gas. She takes its post and lays out her bullets one by one on the rock as if to make a count of all the years she has been waiting. Her rifle is near as long as she is tall. She lies down by her bullets and uses them to kill the other sentries one by one until at last they understand the thunder and the ~~Shanks~~ rise up angry from the Cinders below to seek her out.

She leaves the rifle and walks across the naked obsidian into the swarm firing from the hip as she goes, each kick of the old revolver a word, Draksis, Draksis, Kell of Winter, Kell of hate, lord of the kingdom of her vendetta. Her jaw aches. She used to imagine biting out his throat with armored teeth.

Her jaw aches. She used to imagine biting out his throat with armored teeth.

The stone smokes around her where the arc fire lashes it and the shrapnel guns throw up leaves of obsidian like glass butterflies. She shoots her bandoliers dry and a team of [[Vandal]]s in glassy stealth leap up to rush her with knives but she raises her hand and burns them down with the golden gun, laughing, crying out Draksis, Draksis, I am come!

She kills them all and takes the next ridge, high above the Cinders. She can see the blue-green pools and the cave mouths where the [[Vex]] lights dance. And there among them, gowned in smoke and ash, is the long shark shape of a [[Ketch]], a Wintership, the Kell's ship, come down to nest.

She could go down there now and finish this. But she made a promise.

Warrior-scholars of the Light, ~~[[Warlock]]s~~ devote themselves to understanding the Traveler and its power. A Warlock mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between godhood and madness. On the battlefield, those secrets can shatter reality itself.

I had a broken vertebrae in my pocket that I'd borrowed from - yes, borrowed, I was going to put it back - what do you think you are, my conscience? It was a fossil, that means mineral replacement, a rock, basically. They can survive a few hours in my pocket. Do shut up.

The ~~Cryptarchs~~ weren't going to miss it. Everyone knows the [[Ahamkara]]s were hunted to extinction. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
