AN: I just had to get a Destiny story going. I love Destiny. And unfortunately do not own it. Bungie and Activision do.
Prologue
They called it the Golden Age because of what the Traveler gave Humanity. How can they have forgotten why it was really a Golden Age? Have they truly forgotten how long Humanity fought itself for the True Peace? That it was Humanities final war that brought about the Golden Age. The greatest tragedy of the Golden Age wasn't the loss of the Traveler but the quick end of our Peace. We lost the greatest triumph Humanity had ever had to be proud of us. Or that is what I believed. I would be proved wrong in time.
They called it the Dark Age. I wondered over this and couldn't help questioning how they forgot humanities past. The times they call Ancient Past and Pre-Golden Age were humanities true Dark Age. The Darkness just brought about the end to our True Peace and made us Fall. We chose to fall into the Dark Age again. I don't mean in losing technology or anything materialistic but how we now quarrel with each other or fight over this and that now. Have they forgotten how inner conflict almost destroyed us? We lost our True Peace true. But have we in a way just handed over it in a way? I don't know the answer to that question. I just hope that before it is too late, they figure it out again. Otherwise, we won't survive. Because, the only way we survived our Fall was because we were truly in Peace and Harmony.
The Darkness and it's allies thought they could destroy us. They found that that was not as easy as they believed. We were not like the other species and cultures that the Traveler chose to hide behind. We were more. Humanity has always had a remarkable ability to survive and adapt. Maybe that was our truest gift after all. Or maybe it was our ability to stare death in the face and still move forward with a will power that just defied fate. I don't know if we will survive another round if the universe will not come together. It will take more than humanity to fight our extinction. And in a way, it will take more than the other races themselves to fight as well. We must come together and stand and face death with all those who defy fate, destiny, and the Darkness. Because we write our own story. Our own Fate. Our own Destiny.
I am old. I have seen humanities greatest triumphs and greatest failures. I saw my end and stood to face it willingly. I thought my story over but found that I was wrong. It seems humanity still needs me. I must bring the all those who fight this End together. However, I cannot do it alone. I must find allies and must force those who have blinded themselves from the truth. This time I will not fail. I will not let this being destroy what could be the greatest triumph of all. So I will take this burden onto my shoulders and I will willingly face death to protect Life. However, I cannot do it alone. And maybe that will be my greatest task and greatest victory. To show others the way.
I don't know where to start my story. It is a long one filled with many travesties and loss but also many victories and happiness. I find that maybe it is best to start at the Last Conflict that I would take part in. That the end is maybe the best beginning. I was part of a movement that shook the universe to its core and changed life as we knew it. And the end started with a tiny little being called a Ghost who was looking for me for a long time. This ghost would become a very important part of me as I would be to it. And we would change the story no matter who tried to write it.
