 ==Chapter 9: The Return==
+"What have you done?!" I scream as [[Mara Sov]]'s body drops lifelessly to the ground.
+"[[Elisabeth Bray|Elsie]], listen to me. This was necessary. The [[Darkness]] cannot thrive while believers of the [[Light]] remain. There's a world beyond this conflict. Let's go there together," [[Anastasia Bray|Ana]] pleads.
+"This is not the way!" I cry and ready my [[Stasis]].
+"Elsie, please don't do this. You can still join us. Don't you want to be a family again?"
+Not like this. Not through death and betrayal. [[Zavala]] was right about her... I remember the promise I made.
+"I forgive you for all the years you kept me in the dark. I know you were trying to protect me. Forget the past. We can start over. Let me protect you now," she says with such sincerity that I know she's too far gone to reason with.
+The look on Ana's face tells me she knows where I've landed. She's genuinely hurt, gritting her teeth to stop herself from crying. I try to raise my hand to blast her, but she's already on the move.
+Ana attacks and stabs me in my side, disconnecting core components. My left arm goes limp. I look up to see Eris summoning a portal. The Vex come flooding through. Our army of [[Cabal]] and [[Fallen]] are being eviscerated. [[Vex]] [[Hydra]]s swarm the [[Leviathan]] and open fire. If I could cry, I would. We lost. Again.
+Suddenly, [[Eris Morn|Eris]] stands above me with a twisted grin. "Do you see what the path of the self-righteous yields? You call it protection, but all Ana felt was abandonment. You left a void. [[Darkness]] filled it."
+"You have bigger problems," I say, looking to the sky.
+A piercing noise emanates from the [[Traveler]]. Its brilliance begins to swell. Worried and confused, Eris commands all her forces to focus on killing it with Dark energy.
+"It didn't have to be this way," Ana cries as she drives the knife into me once more. "You could have been with me!"
+I finally shatter my own binding, blasting her with Stasis. She flies back, locked in the air. I see her struggling. "Ana, she's corrupted you!"
+"No… She gave me purpose!"
+Damn it all. I know what I have to do.
+I kiss her forehead as I turn her blade and thrust it into her. Her eyes go wide, and some semblance of my sister returns before she fades.
+"Elsie…" she trails off into the void. My own sister… Eris will pay for this.
+The Darkness energy Eris manipulates canvases the landscape and makes its way to the sky. I see the Traveler, getting brighter as the Darkness encapsulates it. I race toward Eris, but I'm too late.
+In an enchanting explosion, the Traveler's Light enshrouds all in totality.
+Then darkness. n<br>
+I'm awake.
+I see a [[Tower|tower]]. THE Tower.
+I'm in the [[Last City]]. It's… thriving. Bustling with life. Children laughing.
+There's a small parade. I fight through the crowd to find [[Cayde-6]] at the center of it. "I think I finally got him this time!" he shouts as a beardless Zavala greets him.
+"[[Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks]] has been dead before," Zavala says.
+From behind him emerges [[Ikora Rey]], like a vision. "Let the new Hunter [[Vanguard]] bask. He's earned it."
+I'm so sick of this scene. Of hearing these words ever since the day I killed my sister. That was the first time. Now I've lost count.
+No matter what I do, it always ends the same. Blood and betrayal. Then I'm back where I started. Right here.
+I'm being taunted, punished. Forced to relive this loop.
+There has to be a way out. I will find it.
+I have to save my sister.
