Chapter 24 - The Gray Guardian

Me and Myriad after walking down a road of light for what felt like years. Arrived at a door so with one big sigh to get ready. I didn't open the door normally instead I kicked it in. Since I got annoyed of walking and this poor door was the perfect target. But once I had kicked it in my soul started to seize up. While infront of me a message from the gamer floated. Basically demanding I create a "character and load out" before it drops me into the world. Sighing out frustation I glanced down towards Myriad. Who watched me and basically looked at me like I should hurry up. So I sighed and started looking at the annoying screen that started getting snarky!

Looking through everything I picked the exo race as my choice. Sure I could remain human but I don't wanna bleed out. I'd rather shut down and be repaired than that as I already blew up once! Looking through the race customization options a bit. I went with a look like that of Cayde-6 but black, with red eye's and the rest of my glowing as fiery orange. I even had the choice of what material I wanted to be made from.

So I just used the strongest metals together making Chimeradite. It was one of the strongest metals in a book called "The New Gate". Also of the metals I used came off from the traveler apparently. It's called Hirlok and it is a pretty insane conductor for about anything. So if i wanted I could become a blinding nuke on the battle field.

Moving on I started to customize my ghost which doubled as Myriads! So since this snarky screen let me have free reign. I made my ghost have the Sagira shell but black with gold trimmings, and a stary purple glow. I could even give it a nickname so I did so for the fun of it. So entering the name I thought of best, Wrathos.

I even tweaked the voice to be like that of my wife's voice. It'll make me depressed as hell but I don't wanna forget my family. So since I know that once I finish this set up I'll like forget them. So I put a memory lock on all of my memories through the system. I'll never lose them even if something tries messing with them. Their mine no one else's not even the Traveler has the right to them!

Next I sent my current clothes off to my inventory. While i looked at the next section of the screen before me. It seems I have a bit of special case as my class or well classes as I should say. Are already picked for me they're hunter(Beast Master) and warlock(Necromancer). Guess the things besides them are my sub-classes by default.

Which I can understand them very much honestly as to why I have them. Beast Master because of Myriad, and Necromancer because of my previous deeds in my last world. So I can't really complain about them. But I took a look at them just in case to learn about them. Beast Master seems pretty much like the Nightstalker sub-class. While necromancer is a mix between Voidwalker and Sunslinger, interesting very interesting.

I guess for my guardian attire I go with a mix match. So for my cloak I pick the "Gensym Knight Cloak" in a black with gold trimmings color. My warlock bond I picked "Shadow's Bond" made out of hirlok dyed stary purple. Helmet is the "Ace-Defiant" made out of hirlok dyed black. With gold markings that form skull features out of the original style. My ċhėst gear was a black version of "Wildwood Vest".

My Guantlets were black hirlok with gold trimmings "Grips of the Ace-Defiant". Finally my leggings were black "Omega Mechanos Strides". They all may of been legendary in the games but I got a feeling where I'm going. They won't be the legendary equipment people know of yet, so I clicked save on that armour setup. Labeling it the Black Oni armour loadout happily since it does look like so.

For my weapons again they may be legendary in the future. But where I'm likely to end up they wont be legendary yet at all. I picked two swords "A traitor's Fate" and "It Stared Back" for my melee weapons. My two side arms were "Midnight Coup" and "Traveler's Judgement 5" as they pack a mean punch. My only submachine gun is "Death Adder" even though it does low damage. If I shove it into a gap I could start a bonfire as the ammo burns its targets.

I picked two scout rifles next they were both "Conspirator" and "Transfiguration" from those choices. Then i moved on and picked "Ghost Primus" as my auto rifle. Followed by pulse rifle "Inaugural Address" just in case. Looking at the fusion type rifles, I could help but pick "Dead Ender" a linear fusion rifle. Along with"a sniper "Silicon Neuroma" and the bow "Trinity Ghoul". To top it all off I picked 'Sins of The Past" as my rocket launcher.

Now you may be wondering why so many guns and thats because of Myriad. The Sneaky pup set her race to exo as well with her same appearance just red glowing. So you wouldn't know she's robotic but she's apparently a "Mythological Exo" by the systems standards. However because of her race change she's got a new skill. "Mythology Armory" which apparently like my inventory stores things. But in her case its weapons and she can use the stored weapons. So it's gonna be funny yet cool to see her using them.

All that's left is apparently my new name and model series. So I kept my old name but changed Shinigami to Reaper. For my model series as an exo I just put Mystery as I am. Once that was done the screen vanished fron view and the world started forming. I could feel the Travelers light pulling me to the world. While a dark needle pierced my core and infested it. But due to my unique ness both the Traveler's light and I guess the Darkness. Their influences calmly melded and made a gray light around me.

So I guess I'll be hunted or something as I'm a tainted guardian now. Oh well I'll be the Guardian that walks the neutral line between both. If Ikora, Cayde-6, and Zavala don't mind I'll still join them. However I'll likely be a guardian that walks alone in my travels through the destiny world.
