*'''[[ERIS MORN]]]:''' The [[Oryx|Taken King]] is dead... yet still his armies writhe and claw at our worlds. Even as you led the assault on the [[Dreadnaught]], a powerful [[Taken]] [[warbeast]] fled for the safety of the Shrine of Oryx. The would-be prince [[Malok, Pride of Oryx|Malok]] works to perfect a dark sorcery. He must be destroyed.  

''The trio of [[Guardians]] land in [[The Summoning Pits]]. In the center of the arena, Malok roars a challenge, and disappears as several Taken appear, [[blight]]s set behind them. The Guardians kill the Taken and reach the exit, only to find it boarded shut, with three [[Hive]] locks sealing them in.''

*'''[[GHOST]]:''' They've sealed the door with Hive Runes... (sighs wearily) Of course they have.  

*'''GHOST:''' Sealed door, Hive Runes... know what we need? A Tomb Husk.  

''Large groups of Hive ambush the fireteam, including [[Thrall]], [[Knights]] and [[Wizards]]. They are all eliminated, and one of them drops a [[Tomb Husk]]. One of the Guardians obtains the Husk and uses it at the door, disintegrating one of the locks. More Hive appear, and as they are killed, a second Husk is dropped, reclaimed, and used. Once the third group of Hive is eliminated and the final Rune destroyed, the door to the Summoning Pits finally opens, releasing over a dozen [[Cursed Thrall]]. The trio of Guardians use the narrow space to wipe them all out instantaneously. They make their way back to the [[Circle of Bones]], where several Taken blights appear. Large groups of Taken enemies, including [[Captains]] and [[Centurions]], attack the fireteam. The Guardians destroy them and move on to the [[Hall of Wisdom]].''

''The trio of Guardians reach the shrine room, where several Taken [[Acolytes]] guard the area. They are dealt with quickly. Suddenly, Malok warps into the room, and fires upon the Guardians with a [[Boomer]]. Several groups of reinforcements rush to Malok's aid. Taken blights spawn everywhere, severely limiting the Guardians' movements. They either wipe out the reinforcements, or focus fire on the blights as they battle the Prince. After enough damage is done to Malok, he falls to one knee; his Boomer is destroyed. He then begins to attack the Guardians with fire projectiles, similar to Taken [[Knights]]. As more enemies are summoned and destroyed, Malok's head begins to throb and ripple. Eventually, his head explodes with a sickening squelch. Still alive, Malok becomes enraged, summoning blankets of Taken blight, armies of Captains, Acolytes and [[Phalanxes]], and firing several [[Axion Darts]] from his head, in Centurion fashion. However, the fireteam cooperatively deals the fatal blows to Malok, killing him and ending his incipient reign.''
