*'''[[Solar]] Overshield''': My armor was incredibly thick already, being able to cushion enemy attacks similar to a vending machine. But with [[Light]] coursing through my veins, I have been given an extra defense: a Solar overshield. This stacks with my armor to make me even more of a walking tank than I was previously. This oughta reduce my chances of dying. | *'''[[Solar]] Overshield''': My armor was incredibly thick already, being able to cushion enemy attacks similar to a vending machine.

I joined the Tower after the [[Black Heart]] died, so my only job was to patrol the [[Cosmodrome]] and run around killing any enemies I see. If I noticed anything extraordinary, I was to report it to the [[Vanguard]]. Now, at first, it seemed like a typical day on patrol: we had the [[House of Devils]] appearing all over the place, and occasionally saw some [[Hive]] to mow down in the morning. However, when I got to the [[Skywatch]], I noticed a [[Seeder Ship]] emitting a green toxic liquid that eroded its surroundings. Tons of [[Thrall]] were coming out of it, and they were all headed for me. I fended them all off and decided to push on into the Seeder until after seeing that they were loads of [[Acolyte]]s, [[Wizard]]s, and [[Knight]]s flooding the area. It was at this moment that I retreated all the way back to the city. [[Commander Zavala]] asked me to report what I've seen, "I came across a Seeder Ship at the Skywatch and there were tons of Hive coming out of it. First the Thrall, then Acolytes, and the Wizards and Knights! There was too much for me alone to fend off." "Cayde. Show the Primus the way to [[Eris Morn]]." "Wait, why me?", said Cayde with a very confused look on his face. "Ok, here we go. Follow me, Primus." Cayde and I went down a long hallway and stopped in front of an [[Eris Morn|eerie-looking woman]] holding a crystal. "Primus, as much as I hate to say this, this is Eris Morn. She's our expert matter on the Hive. Got any questions, ask her, but chances are she's going to ramble on and on, so don't do that." Eris turned to Cayde, gave him an annoyed look and said, "That's because you never listen to me." Then she turned to me and said, "At any rate, Crota and his army are preparing a massive invasion on Earth. But before we can destroy Crota himself, we must destroy his most trusted lieutenants: [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]] and [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]]. Sardon resides in [[The Grottos]], where he commands his master's armies through a fist of [[Darkness]]. You must push in and see to his end. Omnigul, meanwhile, erratically travels from one place to another, constantly monitoring the progress of the battle. You must corner her in the [[Jovian Complex]] and silence her screams." I look at her confused and say to her, "What's in it for me?" "You will have my thanks." "Is that really all?" "Yes. I do not have anything for you at the moment, nor do I plan to." "What a fucking downer." And then I stormed out. I went back to the Cosmodrome in search of the two targets I've been assigned to kill. I decided to go after Sardon first because he was just hanging around in one place. When I got to the Grottos, no one was there. There was a 30-second pause before anything happened. Suddenly, Darkness was coursing through my veins.

I decided to go after Sardon first because he was just hanging around in one place. When I got to the Grottos, no one was there. There was a 30-second pause before anything happened. Suddenly, Darkness was coursing through my veins. I've been poisoned; my abilities of [[Light]] had been shut down; I was weighed to the ground; there was a green haze in my field of view. I didn't know where it was coming from until I saw a Knight appear from out of nowhere. I knew it had to be Sardon. He charged at me with a [[Cleaver]] in hand and I rushed at him ready to land a bone-cracking punch. I missed, and he quickly slashed me in the stomach. I ran off into a little cave where he couldn't reach me. I thought he was only deadly up close. But he sent in a wave of Thrall to flush me out and covered them with a series of Arc shockwaves by slamming his sword on the ground. These shockwaves traveled across the floor for a very long distance. They got to me and I felt the Thrall jumping on me. After stomping on them and recovering from the attack, I ran around and behind him. He knew I was coming from behind him so he did a backward slash but I caught his sword when he was doing so. I broke his sword in half and punched him on the spot, killing him instantly. And suddenly the burden of Darkness was removed. I felt much better. Then I looked for Omnigul. I've chased after her so many times until I finally caught her in the Jovian Complex raising an army. I pulled out my Heavy Slug Thrower and started firing away, while also pounding her with my Hammer of Sol. She kept teleporting away and sending in reinforcements, but I outlasted them all. Eventually, there was nowhere for Omnigul to go, so I punched her to death. I thought I was ready to take on Crota, but the creepy lady told me that I had to banish his soul first. If his soul had been successfully woken, he would enter the material world from his Ascendant Realm and start wreaking havoc on us...for some reason. Anyway, down to the [[Chamber of Night]] I went. And what did I see? A whole squadron of [[Cursed Thrall]] coming towards me. I shot them with my [[Slug Rifle]] and they all exploded! As weird as that was, I found Crota's most zealous guards on the way to his soul thing: Hallowed Knights and Hallowed Wizards galore. I kept cutting through them until I came across some [[Waker of Crota|Wakers of Crota]], who were of course waking Crota's soul. Only when I killed the Wakers could I banish Crota's soul from the material realm. As Crota's soul rose from the ground, it unleashed total hell. It was spinning violently in the air, so it was hard for me to get a clear shot on it. What could I do? Oh right! When precision is hard to achieve, just fire as many bullets as possible! It's Heavy Slug Thrower time! It took a lot of bullets to destroy the soul. How many will Crota himself take? I found out as soon as I entered his realm: none. Because only his shield could be shot down, not himself. I would need a sword from the [[Swordbearer]] downstairs. So I "asked" him if I could use the sword to kill Crota, and after it fell out of his hands, I took out my Slug Rifle to shoot down his shield, and ran at him with the sword, cutting him to bits. But he quickly got back up and summoned his Oversoul which I shot at with the underslung grenade launcher of my rifle. And because the Oversoul was a distraction, this gave Crota the opportunity to slash me in the stomach and zap me to death. And because I couldn't regenerate my shield, I was severely weakened, but I still had my strength. As long as I had the sword, I could kill him. Unluckily for him, his Oversoul went down, and I got back to wasting him. As he knelt once more, I landed the killing blow. Then all of a sudden, the lady from earlier came out and told me that I have given her the gift of vengeance or something like that. I told her that I will never work for her again, but she said, "Our work is not ever done, Primus. Not as long as the Darkness plagues humanity." | ||

*So my work with Eris will never stop, but at least I stopped a potential full-scale Hive invasion. | |||
*Someone else will probably continue his work, though, right? Because the Hive has a pantheon of gods. | |||
*Also, because my work with Eris will never stop, I will always have something to be unsettled about. | |||
*So, really, this was mostly a waste of time and I could've let any other Guardian do the job. | |||
*Besides, I usually feel pretty lazy, so I could just lay back and eat some burritos. | |||
