1234150730Trespasser"It kills me to say it, but I really am impressed," the voice says, an echo reverberating from the past. Ikora does her best to keep focused, to push past a breath of resurging anguish. But a Nightmare like this… refuses to be so easily ignored. It stands…
3664831848HeartshadowEnactine is one of the most resilient metal alloys we Cabal have ever encountered. It is a quantum-mimetic mineral that, when exposed to Psionic energy, can be locked into a specific shape. Even when it is broken, melted down, or reduced to a fine dust, it…
2026087437Lingering Dread"My empress," Taurun reported, "the Vanguard has deployed a Guardian to investigate the Leviathan. Your presence has been requested aboard the H.E.L.M.—" "Where is Calus?" Caiatl gazed ceaselessly at the Leviathan as it loomed beside Luna. Taurun paused…
1780464822New PurposeConsumed as she was with the scene in the arena, Caiatl forgot the chiddik in her hands as her young body imitated the action playing out before her eyes. The living accessory screamed, then leapt to the flagstones. Boneless or not, it resented having its…
3652506829StormchaserSparks flew as the cleavers scraped against each other, their keening screech echoing off the walls of the training hall. "A half step too slow," rumbled Ghaul. "If this were a real duel, my next blow would have ended it." Still holding her blade, Caiatl…
3000847393UnforgivenI was a child when my father gave the war beast to me. Milos, I named him. Young, like I was, wide-eyed and just as unable to see what was in front of him. My father had always been absent—the demands of the throne saw to that—but he had never been unkind…

1959650777Bump in the Night"I won't go again," Gorn'ak says, throwing a chunk of bloody meat to a lounging war beast. It happily devours the meat in one bite and looks expectantly for more. Gorn'ak is seated at a bulky metal table with two fellow Cabal. One is a veteran Phalanx, Ur'…
1366394399Tears of ContritionMara Sov can feel her twin's heartbeat in the chest of the man now known as Crow. She dreams, sometimes, of gathering him in an embrace like she did when they were children. Of one ear pressed to his sternum, listening… "I'm sorry," she imagines she would…
254636484Nezarec's WhisperWisps of soulfire swirl amid the geometric growths of Stasis that jut from the dusty cavern floor, the sundered remains of Hive Knights and Thrall frozen within the crystals. Detritus of the recent battle crunches under Eris's boots. Ahead, the stark angle…
2323544076Hollow DenialKethiks, the Yet-Proven, had spent three lunar orbits surveying the small village. He was not the first Captain to strike here, but while others had come for killing or labor, his clutch of Vandals came for something else. A Lightbearer resided in the vil…
2778013407FirefrightSiegfried's feet touch down on a metal grate ten fathoms deep into the Leviathan, where snaking tunnels split into many different directions. The room is large, empty, and dark. He cycles through the night vision and thermal imaging on his helm, then looks…
1478986057Without RemorseHow could I possibly be his Ghost—after all that Uldren has done? It's a question I've been asked before. Most Ghosts don't know who their Guardians used to be. That's… obviously not true in my case. My Guardian was laid to rest under a shroud in the Drea…
3105930175Chain of CommandZavala stared out the H.E.L.M.'s viewport. The Leviathan loomed in the distance, a blight among the stars. The commander leaned on the War Table as blue light flickered from the holo projector; images of Caiatl and Saladin appeared to commence their schedu…
2419786605I. TemperamentCrow drops a wet canteen at Eris Morn's feet. "Water." "You made your return quickly." Eris crouches, hunched over bundled splits of pine arranged atop a thick log and resin-rubbed moss. She strikes a well-worn flint with her knife, and flame ignites. "…
30225843Phantasmal ShellMithrax repeats the mantra to himself as he makes his way across the H.E.L.M. It was not long ago that this wing housed the Servitor that sustained the House of Light and aided the Vanguard in stopping the Endless Night. But now, something altogether diff…

611615675Horus ShellElectric lights recessed above the airstair of Saint-14's jumpship buzz, punctuated by the occasional plink from a loose ballast. The mechanical din is reminiscent of insects, a subtlety normally lost to the noise of the Tower's Hangar. But the area is qui…
3715419678Tymbal LucidaeZavala hums to himself in the dead of night to keep his eyes from sliding shut. His office window is tinted in opaque digitization, leaving the commander's face awash in shimmering variance. He fiddles with a data pad headlining a lengthy and dense report…
477192673Hushed SyrinxOut of his armor, laid in a sterile bed and clothed in linen, Osiris looks thin and frail. Age wears lines into his face deeper than the trenches of Mercury. His chest rises and falls with slow breaths, and the ambient light provided by the surrounding med…
3154754188Mandate of StrengthAmanda Holliday cursed as she readjusted the jumpship's exhaust system. The Häkke foundry knew how to make a mean gun, but their aerospace engineering needed some improvement. "Is this one of the new fighters?" The question came from a deep voice that rum…
2373687413Pale Steed"Eyes on the road," Marcus Ren told himself. "And don't look back." It was a motto he lived by, both on and off the track. His Sparrow screamed across Luna's surface, kicking up clouds of moondust in its wake. Out here, he was free to push prototype eng…
2259079242TrauermarschVell Tarlowe. Sai Mota. Omar Agah. Eriana-3. The scarlet phantoms hang in the air beside Eris as she stares across the Enduring Abyss, her eyes fixed upon the Lunar Pyramid. Suspended between Nightmare and Memory, her old friends remain forever silent,…
1878178775Falcon's ChaseDarkness floods me like breath, expanding with each thought. For a time, it flowed out as often as in, giving me space to surface above the pressing sea and glimpse the cruel storm above, the distant hope of shore. But now there is only the sea, and nothin…
