1649346047Resonant Fury MaskVoid. Bereft. There is a chasm where my fulfillment should live. Today, you again gifted me purpose, my Witness. A rapturous day, by the old pattern, my fingers knitting finality once more. But now, this purpose is equivocal, serving not the glorious ab…
3487540074Resonant Fury VestI am become circumstance, my Witness, the unseen whim of fate that shapes the lives of one score of infants in the same temper of luxury and hardship that honed my infallible edge. Where their families lack, I gift them with prosperity, opportunity, and th…
1583213254Resonant Fury GripsThey are liquid fear sealed within porcelain flesh, my Witness, these Ahslid whose service you require. I arrived as you bid, without ceremony or fleets, and for 14 journeys around their star, I have stalked them in the dark, testing them to find even one…
4124357755Resonant Fury CloakI have failed you, my Witness. I taught the Ahslid to build a tower to heaven upon a foundation of sand. I hemmed for 10 long cycles over that final lesson in irrelevance, and in the end, my pupils exceeded my ability as a teacher. They tumbled. A sunse…
1566699968Resonant Fury StridesI find myself once more stalking the night, my Witness, unknown as their final gasps. But my sojourns are no longer otiose errands. I am no more a predator among the Ahslid than the weaver is a predator of flax. Death creates gaps into which my progeny ris…
362541459Resonant Fury Helm"I am Xita, the nurturing worm. Behold Yul, and Eir, and Xol, and Ur, and Akka. The virtuous worms. Look upon us and know that We are go[o]d. You, however, are not. You are inconsequential. And this is not your—" "My what? Place? Privilege? Destiny?"…
1627640710Resonant Fury Plate[Madness. Whether he knew it or not, the Subjugator shared this characteristic with his very target, the Osmium King. Larvae in hand, the king was surrounded by whispers—whispers of the end of all things. Designed to incite madness.] [And then the move…
2150515362Resonant Fury Gauntlets++Stench follows. You drag it before you— —It will not consume you, for you have conquered it— —Or so you prefer to believe++ ++TURN BACK FROM THE WORLD-KILLING WAY++ ++OR YOU WILL LIVE AS WRATH AND DEVASTATION++ [In this life, there are bei…
365727964Resonant Fury Greaves[The Subjugator did what he does best. Conquer. Capture. Many of his victims fell. But those who proved useful served.] [From a prison within Fundament to another in the dark expanse of his making, I was taken… And that was only the beginning.] [He k…
2370089583Resonant Fury Mark[The Witch Queen rarely paid visit to my prison. And when she did, it was not for me. She knew what I was, what I produced. I was a servant of the Subjugator. A servant of the Witness. A provider of that which took sustenance from her and many like her. Sh…
1656263403Resonant Fury GlovesIt takes no foresight, nor does it require any sort of precognition to hypothesize how exactly this particular Queen of the Hive reacted to the development of new establishments in her throne world, my Witness. Acquiescence, it was decidedly not. It…
2422261368Resonant Fury BondTell me, O Witness mine—does the Light that fills this once dreadfully tiresome space blind you from its newfound glory? You expected the same old correspondence from your dragooned errand boy, no doubt. Surely, just as you expected your machinations wi…
2748020989Resonant Fury BootsShe builds a palace here in her hiding place, and I perceive through her self-assurance. For all her grandiose treatises on secrets, the Hive princess all but screams, "Look upon me." And so I look upon her today, my Witness, absent a brother. Loss—true…
3300312357Resonant Fury RobesConquest. Warming as the long-ago memory of blue sun on my face. All the while reminding me of the exhilaration of existing outside the Throne World, if only for a short while. I live in this glory—a rare opportunity to step away from exile within that asc…
2316722050Resonant Fury CowlShe was a frog in my estimation; small and colorful but toxic to touch. In your infinite wisdom, you looked beyond the worm I brought you to the least of the leeches that infested Fundament. Shaving thin my gift, you infected them with conquest, and now…
2139400845Gouging LightIn the moment his Sparrow crashed, there was no time. To react. To brace. To think. There was, however, an instant for him to feel: an unbearable, brief eternity, when everything in Marco's world was pain. Nothing else existed—just the simple, sharp agony…
3505113722Collective ObligationHeard while scavenging a pile of dead Ghosts within the Throne World Pyramid: "Oh insatiable you—how many beats on the snare of self-righteousness will it take before you acknowledge all the avenues from which you stall the flow of things as they should…

81505816PickmanYou needn't resent my hesitation. Mine is a prejudice shared by many: evolution's paintbrush cut within the Hive a terrible anatomy rendered to elicit fear; they are loathsome things to look upon, after all. I speak not as some superstitious provincial afr…
81505819Three-Oh-ThreeThree-Oh-Three floated in the shadows as her modest flock of Ghosts scanned the ruins. For centuries, they had combed through the long-dried spatter of a fallen world, each hoping to find their prize. She always watched, knowing she would never find what s…

81505821EulochRise again, Luzaku! Aiat! Rise and take back the logic this heretic won in your death! Yes, arm yourself, and lay low the Guardian scourge! The false inheritor of the Light has grown fat on your weakness. To whittle him thin is to make yourself strong!…
81505820Fynch IYou gotta understand… none of us came here thinking grand schemes. None of us! There was…. there was just this urge, y'know? So we followed it, only to step into a world remaking itself. The Light just thrashing away at the Darkness. Pounding away! Mountai…
81505823Fynch IIOh no, no, no. Why, of all things… did you make me do this? The Hive certainly weren't perfect—actually, let's not mince words; they were straight-up evil! But you? I gave you a part of me! I let you make me worse just so I could make you better! You we…

81505809ImmaruThe Light of the Wellspring spilled out below them. From the palace tower, Immaru watched the churn where it met the Darkness, new waves eroding an ancient shore. The flash of muzzle fire was visible from this perch, even if the combatants weren't. He h…

3184726008JynxAn electronic jingle intrudes on the silence deep below—a cheerful electric hymn in a cathedral of bone. Thralls peer in but quickly depart, their curiosity fleeting. Jynx has no time to teach them about music. She needs to concentrate. Her Acolyte dese…

182633237Provoked—-And what more of this family of yours?—- They're gone. Dead. All of them. They don't matter anymore. —-Is that so?—- What do you even want to know? You want to know more about my father, the Lubraean traitor? Or perhaps my mother, another Lubrae…
182633236Endangered(We survive. We give back to the land. We help those in need. They come for us anyway.) (The Regime raids our camp. No logical explanation for those they kill. Clan-mothers. Clan-fathers. Children. They kill us without purpose. A red spattering courtesy…
182633235Nepotistic(Father… it's been a year since you were taken. But we have not been attacked since. I know the Stalkers still watch the clan, but I survive alone these days—ousted for being the only one brave enough to act. A liability, they called me.) (We will see…
182633234Defiant—-The Regime took all that mattered to you… and yet, you blamed your father?—- The Regime never lied about who they were. They were brutal, yes. But honest. —-Honesty meant something to you?—- It meant everything. —-Interesting. And so, in the…

182633232Tainted—-Your father, he feared your anger. Feared you.—- Because he knew what I could become. He knew what burdens flowed through my veins. He too felt them, lived them. (I am a boy. My father skewers three Stalkers in front of me. His eyes are crimson, hi…
182633247Assaulted(The Abyss. The artificial crack in Lubrae, separating the desired from the undesired. A crevice devoid of all but a strand of concrete to connect the halves.) (There, amongst the brush that conceals those approaching, I find them. Trembling, unsure of…
182633246LamentedI should have died. —-And yet, it was there in the darkness of the Abyss that you became truly alive.—- (I lie amongst swamp and rock and ruin. The Abyss is not unending after all. The wrathful sounds of unchecked nature draw close. Down here, it is…
955849618LiberatedI know what happened next. I do not need to see it again. (I rend Mother's flesh.) Do you not hear me?! (I remove Father's head from his neck.) This is madness! (None escape my wrath. Not even the little ones. Not even civilians. The city wa…

1250196969Osiris IMay this message find you, Guardian. If it does, then you have once again learned just enough to be dangerous, and you are no doubt seeking guidance. I must preface all I am about to say by asking for your empathy. I have dedicated lifetimes to stud…
1250196970Eris IIt seems that our end has arrived this day. Savathûn is here. For too long, I have dreaded this inevitability. In a way, I suppose it's a relief; the sword of Damocles dangles over my head no more. I approach you alone, Guardian, because you have proven…

1250196972Caiatl IDegenerate fate casts us together once more, Guardian. How I have missed the thrill of pitting my Cabal against your unyielding tide of Lightbearers, truce or no. But it is in the spirit of Zavala's newfound truce that I offer you news delivered by my…
1250196973Ikora IIIntentions, no matter how lofty, damn us just as thoroughly as our sins. My one responsibility to the Guardians—to humanity—was to keep our secrets safe, and I failed. Our greatest enemy strolled into the nerve center of the Tower, and I showed her our…
1250196974Toland IOdd communication technique, but costly. Thought to phoneme to mark to digital signal. Each transmutation yields less than the input; the alchemy of conception. Read well, Guardian, for less of value has filtered through these transitions, and you must sl…
1250196975Zavala IX-ray laser emplacements can rip the protons from a ship's hull, redefining what each atom is and triggering explosions as each individual molecule realizes it can no longer exist. And yet that damage pales in comparison to the harm secrecy can cause. Whil…

903781536I - Violent TributariesSaladin awakens. Not from sleep. Nothing so gentle. From death? No. Not yet. From lost consciousness… for how long? He moves to stand. His feet drift without friction. No ground below him. Falling—no, floating. Pine needles sway in a sea of surrounding…
903781539II - WakeBurning grass fills Saladin's nostrils like smelling salts. He stirs from the abyss into a new life, back pressed against a towering pine that smolders with heat. Saladin blinks blurriness from his eyes to see the crater on the cliff where his rocket struc…
903781538III - Plea DealSaladin breaks through the tree line on the backslope of a collapsed bluff. Behind him lies the breadth of the old forest, shadow slinking away before the dawn. He and Isirah had trekked two kilometers from Kepre's village to close in on the location of a…
903781541IV - Few Words Between ThemWinter wind sweeps over the forest of pine; fresh snowfall smattering tops the canopy. Isirah mentions the pines are much taller than when Saladin had last seen them, but he cannot imagine their aging. He only sees what is there now. If he could have stood…
3102179650II - Devotion"You brought your own cup?" Devrim smiled awkwardly after asking the question. A tea set balanced delicately beside him on the split log he used as a seat. From the other side of the campfire, Saint-14 looked comically oversized as he cradled a blue-and-w…
3102179651III - Cold Forging"Eyes up, New Lights." Shaw Han spoke to the group of Guardians assembled at the edge of the Cosmodrome. A field of ancient automobiles spread out behind him. The Guardians gathered at uneasy attention, fidgeting in their new armor. Han leapt onto the ho…
