You remember hot oceans, nourishing atmosphere. But something transpired, kicked what was wet and fertile into space, stealing away everything of value. Or perhaps what thrived here for a day or for ten million years decided to leave, peeling its wet organics off the bones.<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire | You remember hot oceans, nourishing atmosphere.

Your voice moves as a whisper, murmuring inside larger winds. Only the trusted few can absorb what is necessary.

The body is made from tiny stuff, from near-nothings. From atoms swimming through a blood of crackling sparks. Simple, eternal Laws shape the beast. The largest galaxy is ruled by principles of mass and motion. Electrons are slaves to charge and to chance. And this is why the universe feels inexhaustible, eternal. | The body is made from tiny stuff, from near-nothings. From atoms swimming through a blood of crackling sparks.

No sun complains about its death. Life is the problem. Life can be woven from flesh or circuit or thoughtful light. Origins don't matter. But small, half-smart creatures have a fierce talent for denying the inevitable, for balking and complaining about injustices that don't exist and consequences that should be borne in silence.<ref>Bungie (2014-9-9), Destiny, PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire | No sun complains about its death.

Very little was left, you are sure, because you feel insignificant now. The hard slick heart of your soul: That is what remains. A body small as a river stone, and just as simple. You picture yourself as a piece of indigestible grit, a nameless nothing hiding among other nameless stones. Perhaps you glitter like a gem, yes. Pride makes you hope so. If only you could see yourself. But you have no eyes. Not the dimmest sense survives. What lives is memory, and what slim portion of these thoughts can you trust? | Very little was left, you are sure, because you feel insignificant now.
