DESTINY: The Eyes Of A Hunter A Guardian's View

"The Silent Fang? Yes. Yes, I remember them. The Fang made several attacks against the City during the days of the Reef Wars. They'd take to terror tactics, slipping invisibly through with cargo and going on a rampage in a crowded residential area."

Aaahhhh!

This bed is warm.

I pulled my blanket up close to me because it was chilly in the room but the cotton fabric of the blanket kept me warm enough for me to have my undershirt and my u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r on.

Wait.

How did I get here? Where's Biscuit? Where am I?

I blinked my eyes trying to see where I was, but I couldn't focus. "Ow, my head." Feeling a sharp pain in my forehead as I slowly leaned up. Capturing a window in my focus, it looks like the sun was just setting. How long was I out for? Still, how did I get here? I slowly got myself up and forced my feet over the edge. "Damn, head hurts like hell," I mumbled to myself as I got up but fell back down on to the bed.

"What the hell?!" Now I can't even get up without pain. This is getting annoying.

"Calm down! You're okay! Just chill!" I reached down to my t.h.i.g.h but forgot I don't have my knife. I guess I have to fight hand to hand however, that person, thing, whatever flipped a light switch that messed up my eyes a bit. I hurried up and closed them before slowly opening them to regain my sight without a headache. "Besides you need to relax after last night." That voice. I know that voice. I blinked a few times to adjust the ceiling light that wasn't as bright as it seems but, it was bright for me. What did I do to be in so much pain? "Guardians were talking about you, he sighed as he walked into the room and leaned up against the door with his arms crossed. "Luckily I got you covered at the bar because you bought shots for everyone and couldn't pay the tab."

I turned towards the voice and that's when I caught his blue eyes. Cayde? Why are you here? I don't remember seeing you. I remember I was at Venus then came back to the Tower because I needed to forget my problems. I went downstairs from the hangar and...

Oh no. Ooh No. OOOH NO!

"Cayde...." My voice trailed off as my head had fallen to my knees. I can't believe I did that. I seriously can't believe I did that. I looked up and he was serious. His demeanor was serious. I sighed. "How...when...why? Damn it... Petra going to kill me."

He chuckled. "Petra knows and she understands. Why Silvia? You can't just drink and think it'll save your problems. Trust me when I tell you this. I did the same thing." I heard footsteps towards me. I lifted my head just to see Cayde bent down and staring at my eyes. We held our gaze for at least 5 minutes before we could say anything. His eyes were caring and so soft that I'm surprised he could be this warm-hearted man. He placed his hand on my cheek before kissing my forehead. I couldn't help but tear up. "It won't work. I have many burdens and sadly I cannot remember them all. I'm sad that I can't remember the memories and glad that I don't. Sil, look at it this way, you can decide your fate and run with it. I can't stop you, but only support your decision." His robot hand began to c.a.r.e.s.s my cheek before he used his thumb to wipe my tears running down.

He pulled me into a hug that I didn't want to let go. Is it because he felt sorry? Or is it because he knew what I was going through. I couldn't help but break down. I can't even be strong for myself because I can't get over Mara's words. I can't even get over that I might even have to kill my pet, Skolas. Cayde pulled me away and lifted my head and smiled. "Them tears you cry will make you strong. Now. Go get washed up and I will cook your food. No ramen."

I couldn't help but smile. "I don't have any clothes other than my armor and let me repay you for the troubles. I'm sorry to put you through a lot."

"I just need you to go on a date with me. I got your clothes and had gotten touch-ups done to your armor while you were asleep. I couldn't sleep so I did errands instead."

I smiled as I nodded. "I can do that." He smiled as he got up from kneeling and helped me get up. I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, Cayde."

I turned my head and once again our gazed held. He leaned closer and smirked. You're welcome."

He surprised me.

We...kissed...

~~~

I landed my ship in the Cosmodrome and sighed because I didn't want to leave Cayde, but I needed to get this done. I promised and like I said before, I don't break promises.

"Sil you can't just shut me down whenever you want to. I am your life and you know this." I gritted my teeth before I turned towards Biscuit and sighed.

"I did not turn you off. Cayde did. I was simply not in the right mind when he did turn you off. Not only that, I was okay in his hands." I feel like my face blushing. It probably was but I ignored it.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Just don't do it again that's all I'm asking. Okay?" I nodded as he nuzzled my cheek.

I sighed not knowing what to say. He's worried about me and I know that. I shouldn't be so hard on him. I sighed again as I looked around once I was on the ground. I swore myself I wasn't coming back here again and somehow, I'm always coming back to the Cosmodrome and each time I get annoyed. As soon as I landed on the ground I froze within as I looked where we were heading. I tapped the side of my helmet just to make sure this thing was off on its directions.

Nope.

Damn it.

Biscuit must have known that I was second-guessing myself because I couldn't move at all. I looked around and noticed nothing behind me was moving. Looking forward I gathered my strength and began to walk through the hole into the wall and pray this goes smoothly. I slightly have a feeling that it won't.

~~~

"Das dan di Silvia" Karina spoke as the Silent Fang stood before Karina Rose the sister of Silvia Rose. The Silent Fang bowed their heads and made their exit as she held a smirk before she turned towards the window of the Kell ship. She held her hands behind her as she watched her Wolves roam around the Cosmodrome's wall. Athex came next to her and flown right in front of her face.

"You just told them to go ahead and kill Silvia?! Why are you trying to kill your sister?! You never told me! Even so, this is beyond what you would normally do!" Athex shouted before Karina rose her hand up to shut her ball of light up.

"Athex my dear, this is what jealousy looks like." She chuckled as she turns around and grabs her helmet off her seat and sat down before she continued. "Silvia always had people bow down to her. She had the skills and I was always in the shadow of her. Don't get me started on the Queen! Mara had her wrapped around her finger and praised her for everything I did!" Throwing her helmet in the air before she caught it and looked at her reflection and grew cold. "I released the Wolves. I turned them against the Queen. I killed my sister because of Skolas. His favorite owner, but now, he's mine. She can't change him even she wanted too. Tough shit. I manipulated the Queen and the Wolves to my liking. Nothing can be done. Unless Mara was smart enough, doubt that."

Athex stayed quiet. What more could he say? Karina already made up her mind. Even if he could talk her out of it, it wouldn't do any good. Karina always had an attitude but what she doesn't know, Silvia had cleaned up her mess and took the hit for her because she didn't want that punishment the Queen gave her. Mara sent Silvia into the Prisons and had her fight for her life every day until she told Mara the truth about Karina's mistakes in missions and how she was the reason why we didn't finish our search of Rasputin. Somehow Karina found out and the rest is history. Athex feels sorry for Silvia. He wishes he could have been Silvia's ghost, but guess the Traveler knows what he's doing.

"Athex my love, change of plans. Hand me Her Mercy hand cannon. I just made this personal." Karina placed her helmet on while she stood up from her captain chair as she felt her hand cannon Her Mercy in her hand and placed it in her holster on the right side of her hip. Chuckling, she began walking towards the exit.

Karina, the sister of the Killer Rose. An awoken that changed from a Titan to a Hunter to follow her sister's steps. Then she felt betrayed by the Queen when she fell in love with her sister and not her and her jealousy got the best of her. Enduring the pain she kept it straight with no emotion but tried to be there for her sister, yet, it didn't work. So instead of doing simple missions correctly, Karian decided to do everything in her fitting. Letting enemies live and let a handful of Fallen get away with a lot of nonsense. That's when the Queen was punishing Silvia for every mistake that Karina was doing. No matter what was the case inclines, Silvia's title was getting rejected to the point she was sent to the Prisoner of Elders days on in. Fighting anything from the Hive to the Fallen and even the Cabal. Or all three, until Silvia had enough and demanded to Speak to the Queen or kill herself because being in the POE for days without food or water it gets to you. Mara Sov heard the tears of a rose and the hatred began. Mara had nothing to do with Karina and from that day, she tried to kill her sister for not keeping her mouth shut. Karina had everything in her hands; the Wolves and helped out with the Twilight Gap and even got the attention of the Queen. Karina was beyond fuming. That's when Kariana manipulated Mara to give the orders to find the Warmind on Earth knowing that the idea was dead just to get Silvia away from the Reef. Once it was succeeded Karina followed Silvia to the very end to make sure the House of Devils doesn't kill her sister first on Earth. As soon as the coast was clear at the wall. That's when Karina pulled the trigger. Aiming at her c.h.e.s.t, right through her heart. Karina still remembers the exact words she said to Silvia while watching the blood spill out of her body. Painting the grass a solid red.

"That bullet that went through your c.h.e.s.t is the pain you caused me. You will lose everything just the same way I lost everything. Natheless, I will gain what you will never gain."

After that moment she threw a white rose down at her c.h.e.s.t and watched the flower turn red.

Karina doesn't care about anyone but herself anymore. There isn't a thing she would want to change. Every night and every day, she would want to relive that same moment if she could because it made her feel superior. Athex didn't have any type of say in anything but to witness the project of her killing of her sister and well known Guardian of the Reef. Athex doesn't think Silvia knows the full story except for the fact the story is that Skolas was the one killed her but it's false. Skolas was chained thanks to Kariana. Skolas had nothing to do with Silvia, he would never be disloyal to her especially when Silvia found him hurt severely and pleaded to be saved. That day Skolas was her pet and he knew when she died and he was rampaging. She observed his rampage and made up the story that her pet killed her dear sister. Having Skolas going berserk she broke the cages and let the Wolves roam free and gave them this idea that they rule now the Queen has a problem in her hand.

"Ne sher sloat zu di Silvia. Skolas zur yur ge go ge. Skolas ge lovos!" Karina shouted her as two Dregs followed behind her like lost puppies. She hit a knob on the ship and lowered the Kell ship hatch and waited for her Dregs to drop down before she did.

"Time to watch my sister die."

~~~

I didn't think I would get passed the wall at all. The Wolves regain more strength now then they were on the Reef. I leaned up against the wall as I defeated the Silent Fang. Not going to lie, I almost died. Silent Fangs are known assassins. So their strength is much stronger than I am.

"Ms. Rose. You did well. Come back to the reef accordingly so we can talk about our next location." Hearing Petra through Biscuit I nodded before rolling my eyes. I was about to tell Biscuit to transmit me back to Ceres until I heard a peal of laughter. I got off the ground until I saw a ship opening a hatch at the end of the broken highway. I got off the ground as I looked closely. My heart fell to my gut as I quickly felt a scout rifle in my hand and took out the two Dregs.

"Petra what's going on?! Who is this?!" I shouted as Biscuit contacted me to the Reef. I didn't hear anything for a while. I noticed someone dropping down from the hatch and landed perfectly. Come on Petra tell me who this. "Come on! I know you-"

"Silvia...that's Karina. The Queen has been notified. I don't know why she's here!"

Karina? Why is she here?

Wait...

Not this again! I'm not going through this again. I came too far just to die again. "Petra, do you know anything about this?" My attitude changed. I feel like this was a setup. Seeing Karina walking towards me, I see her hand cannon, Her Mercy. I can feel sweat dripping down from my forehead in my helmet. I don't know if I'm scared or pissed off. I just wanted this mission to go smoothly but I guess that went out the window. I stood up straight trying to be confident knowing I want to run but there would be no point in doing it.

"If I did I would have warned you. Mara didn't know either!" I grunted as I looked at Karina walking towards me.

"My sister, Silvia! Looks like we're back at the Cosmodrome before you died." I nodded slowly. I guess it's time to play along.

"Yes, you're right! I was looking for the Warmind." I smiled as I placed my gun on my shoulder.

"Ah, so you remembered. Where I shot you in the heart. But do you remember why?" She stopped before me. Her aura has changed. Changed to greed and envy. Her vibe is throwing me off and I don't like it one bit.

"Skolas was after me and the Queen sent you to kill me." She began circling me as I watched her carefully. She's up to something and this time I'm ready.

With a boisterous laugh, she shook her head. "Oh my dear, you believed that? Your...light ball didn't tell you the truth? Oh, that's right because the Traveler only gives some knowledge back." She shrugged as she stood before me. "Skolas wasn't after you. I killed you because you drowned me with guilt and sorrow. I was jealous of you. You had your pet, you had the Queen wrapped around your finger and vise-versa. You had everything while I was getting belittled. So, I made up the lie about the Warmind being on Earth and killed you. You don't deserve anything. You should have died in the Prisoner of Elders but you were stubborn. I killed you because it made me happy. I let the Wolves out, I turned them against the Queen."

Everything was quiet. No birds chirping and not even the Queen or Petra feedback. Even our breathing was quiet. Should I raise my gun to her face now and get it over with because now I'm built with fire and I want it to explode. Except she laughing again until I saw a red trip mine below me. I quickly jumped back so fast that I slid in my boots. I watched it explode as she jumped in front of my face but using the force I pushed her back away from me.

"I should have known." I heard Mara through Biscuit but I pushed him away I don't want him to get in the way. If he gets damage then that might be it for me.

I couldn't say anything I was flabbergasted. Withal the respect I thought I had for my sister, I can't let her live. No telling what she had done to lead up to this. I know now that Skolas wasn't the one to kill me, this psychopathic liar did. What choice do I have? Should I hurry up and run for my life or should I just end her life right here right now? I stood still as I threw my gun in front of me. She didn't move but I know her next step. But can she defeat me with her gunslinger? I have Biscuit to heal me so I think I can make it. I stood there as I closed my eyes, "Stealth mode." I whispered as I opened them. I felt the air become cold around me and felt the electricity run through my skin. I will say this, I love my arcblade. The only thing that suits me.

"Oh, my sister knows Arcblade. This is beautiful!" She chuckled as she threw her arm in the air and activated her gunslinger. She only has three bullets, let us see if I can miss them.

One. I slid by quickly just barely missing that graze to my left cheek.

Two. I was already behind her with speed and satisfy that she did not feel any wind next to her. She's not dumb though. With every shot, she was turning the way I was towards but she still missed. Outstanding.

Three. Too late. I already had swipe kicked her and slashed both of her legs and had my knife up to her neck sitting on her. I still had a bit of time left before my energy left me. I made my self visible as I tapped my helmet for her to see my angered eyes.

"Karina, stop!" I shouted but she pulled my hand closer to her neck drawing blood on my blade.

"I will never do that." She laughed as she reached up to touch my c.h.e.s.t, I caught the sparks but I was quick enough to send the power of electricity in her neck. I reached down to grab her hand cannon while my blade is still at her neck. I check the barrel and it only had one bullet. Did she think one would do enough? "Silvia Luna Rose, the sister of Karina Marie Rose. The rose that will belong to the Queen while the other Rose is wilting away. The question is, who will that be that rose?" She thinks she can kill me.

"Sil, her Ghost self destruct. Do whatever at this point!" Biscuit and Mara shouted. I ignored them. Life and death is

"Bar ban bar bas din zu ra shen zu shas. Tar zen ha hur zu di. I'm sorry Karina, di den." I sent another shock into her before I took my knife away from her neck. I took her hand cannon and shot her in the head. I didn't have a choice. She isn't herself and greed took her over and she was envious. Why sister, why? I didn't have to do this to you but you made me do it! You turned the Reef against me for what? For what?!

I rolled over on to the ground as I stared at the sky. I closed my eyes as I heard Biscuit roaming towards me. "Do you want some more memories to come back?" I shrugged at this point. I don't know if I want to cry or scream or run and get drunk again? I killed my sister with my own hand. She deserved it. I felt that tickle again. I showed no emotions as I watched memories after memories flood my mind. At this point, I'm not going to be myself.

"Biscuit, transmit to Ceres. I need to talk to someone immediately."

"Where are you going Sil? If you turn me off one more time, I will snap."

"Going to the Reef. The Queen and I need a personal talk."

I sigh. Now I feel the tears forming.
