This tale of mine takes place in the the Destiny universe created by bungie, this is just something I wrote one day after day dreaming.

[Setting; The Reef in the Queens Castle while a storm is happening. This is my first writing ever which includes a matching between my OC and the Queen of the reef and bits of another OC of mine and Petra. Obviously I do not own Destiny or any of its characters or properties and this is only for entertainment purposes to other readers of destiny fanfiction.]

There was a loud crash of thunder and a blinding flash of lightening that illuminated the great room as two children ran into their mother's room.

"There there my angels everything's alright, just come lay in bed with mother."

[child 1] "I don't like the storms mother" the youngest child said to their mother with fear in his voice.

"I know you don't my dear, no one does…but not all storms are inherently bad, the sound of thunder crashing reminds me of your father and uncle." She says with an endearing smile, but with still a hint of longing in her eyes.

[child 2]

"Mother what was father and Uncle Maximus like?" the middle child asked her mother with wonder.

[Queen] "Would you like to listen too dear?" The queen said to her eldest child that was standing in the doorway.

[child 3] "I'm not here because I'm scared…I'm here because I figured everyone else would be here! And when I walked past your room I heard you mention father and uncle…" The eldest child said with a bit of teenage angst and a sense of hurt in her voice.

[Queen] "Of course my dear, come join us and I will tell you the story of how your father and I met."

All of the queen's children now gathered closely in her bed listen to their mother attentively as to not miss a single detail of their father. "The very first time I met your father was when a pair of human guardians wandered in to the reef searching for information, later on I would find out what the two warriors were in search of."

Several armed guards escort the two guardians into the queens throne room. Both warriors were wearing quite mesmerizing pieces of armor. "The guardian in front which I would later find out was the eldest and also called a hunter, wore a decorative chest piece that sported a wolf on it, on his arms there was quite an interesting creatures skull on his shoulder and spines that seemed to move on their own regardless of what its wearer would do. On his legs he sported a pair of armored boots that also sported the bones of some creature that seemed to be forgotten by time. The last thing I noticed about this guardian was the peculiar mask with three glowing blue eyes that seemed to peer out from long flowing cloak that also bore a wolf. Behind him was the other guardian I would come to find out was his younger brother and a titan. The titan towered over the hunter but I could sense even though the titan seemed to be able to over power the hunter easily, that in fact the hunter was the stronger of the two. Although they did not see me right away for I didn't come out right away I could tell they noticed my presence and knew exactly how many people they were surrounded by in that room."

"My brother had ordered both of them to remove their helmets for it was a sign of disrespect to hide their facer in front of the queen. The two guardians did as instructed and had their ghosts transmat the helmets to storage somewhere that could easily be transmatted back if the situation required. From my hiding spot I noticed that the two guardians were brothers, the much larger titan was clearly the younger one of the two. They both had black hair and an olive skin tone. Both possessed such strong and bright blue eyes, but I found myself drawn more to the elder brother who wasn't nearly as tall as his younger brother but still probably a head taller than me…I couldn't help but think he was an attractive male specimen, no sooner than I thought this my best friend and escort/guard Petra came up behind me "Wow! They're hot!" she teased me as I quickly tried to regain my composure after her teasing, because truth told she wasn't wrong."

[children chuckle and smile during this part of the story]

"As my fallen guard walked out I could tell the titan hadn't expected to see them being as soon as he saw them he took a pistol from one of my guards and was ready to execute the fallen guard, however my brother stopped him and held his knife at the titans throat while the other guards aimed their pistols at the two guardians, as soon as the blade was out against the others throat I could see the hunter gathering a mass of electricity into the form of a blade. Upon sensing this potential massacre I decided to make myself seen. "It is afraid of the fallen, but it does not know that these fallen…are mine." I said in my best display of royalty and power. Luckily everyone lowered his or her weapons and the situation dissipated. The two guardians explained that they were looking for the black garden, for they wished to destroy the darkness at its heart that resided there. My brother, your uncle, did most of the talking and was a bit hostile to them and rude but I told him to give them the information they sought and said to bring them a vex gate lord head. I didn't think I would see them again because I thought they were just warriors in search of glory, marching off to their own demises."

[time skip] "I was on my throne tending to other trivial matters that the queen of the reef must do, when the two guardian brothers walk in to the throne room again. Trying to be as coy as possible, "they are alive, and they still have their toys"* Your uncle taunted them more by insinuating they were cowards and ran from the vex gate lord when after hearing this the titan said "we didn't run!" "specter" the hunter said. After this statement the head of a vex gate lord transmatted and appeared on the floor in front of us. Sternly I heard the hunter say, "We need to find the black garden!" I ordered my brother to tell them everything they needed to know to complete their quest. As they were about to leave I stood up and said "I have shown you benevolence guardians, if the awoken ever need an ally I will call on you…and expect you to answer." I said in my authoritative tone hoping that maybe the eldest brother might pick up on the very subtle hint of me wanting him to return again. "Sure enough without missing a beat your father said with a charming smile, "don't worry I'll come back beautiful! Try not to miss me till then." As you can imagine that statement really pissed off your uncle, but it did cause me to blush a bit at his boldness.

The middle child looks at her mother and says "mother what happened after that?!" the queen smiles and responds.

After that I went back to my chambers escorted by Petra, we talked details and she got me to confess that the hunters words had made me think about him more and more and that I might have a bit of a crush on the hunter. Petra then told me about how she thought the titan was incredibly attractive and how she hopes she gets to see him again.

"After that meeting with the two I had sent emissaries to the last safe city on earth and to the tower offering bounties to gain my favor in hopes of enticing mine and Petra's "champions" to come back to us. I had learned from my emissaries that the two brothers known as the two god slayers had succeeded in their quest. And also that they have been doing a bulk of the quests that I had sent to earth." Upon hearing this and sharing it with Petra we decided to invite them to a formal banquet in the reef. The two accepted the invite, which I was ecstatic to hear, as well as the select other few guardians that I felt obligated to invite as well for them doing so many bounties for me as well.

[the two brothers in their jump ship traveling to the reef upon invite to the dinner]

after a long silence from the hunter flying the ship. "So you gonna try and win the queens heart tonight?" he says in a teasing tone to his older brother. "She is beautiful, however she is royalty so sadly there isn't going to be anything between us unfortunately." The hunter says with a bit of unease in his voice. "who gives a shit we're the freaking god slayers! That alone should be enough for them to consider you a suitable mate for the queen." The titan says trying to convince his older brother. "I can tell you're into her and who cares what stuffy old council members will say if they even say anything at all! Ill take each and everyone of them out myself if they get in the way of my big bros happiness!" the hunter smirks "yeah because starting a war with the awoken will really help her fall head over heels for me, but I appreciate the sentiment."

[the queen in her room with Petra]

"what do I wear?! I want to wear something elegant but sexy that will catch his eye! Petra standing in her formal ceremonial armors "Mara you need to relax." "It's easy for you to say! You have that amazing armor to wear!" Petra sighs "Mara wear the long ice blue ball gown, it brings out your eyes and accentuates your figure quite nicely and I can guarantee that if you wear this he won't be able to keep his eyes off you…and who knows, maybe you'll make him blush and be speechless." She says with a wink to her best friend and queen.

The two brothers are in the grand ballroom waiting for the queen to arrive talking with other guardians that are also there in attendance.

[the queen to her children] "I can still remember the look on your fathers face when I walked down the stairs into the grand ballroom, his eyes seemed so focused and I'm pretty sure his jaw hit the floor.

I could feel my cheeks warming as I saw the look of wonder and awe in his face. I also caught his brother elbow him and whisper something in his ear that caused him to blush a bit. After our eyes met as cliché as it sounds I ignored everyone else in the room and only focused on him, I only wanted his attention. Of course I had to talk to other members of the first class including generals and other annoying dignitaries that all were vying for my attention and for hand in marriage so they could gain the throne. I lost your father in the crowd and as I felt a bit of disappointment that he might have left upon seeing multiple males trying to catch my eye I felt a slight annoyance by all of their attention and seeing me only for my title I excused myself and went to find him. I finally came across him talking to his brother near one of the walls. It was rather cute to watch him fumble with his drink as I got closer. I was quite amused at how this bold and confident and charming hunter was now shy and clumsy upon seeing me in my gown. "you look amazing!" he said rather awkwardly, very different than the hunter I had met in my court seeking knowledge to take on a god, but as soon as he said that to me I felt blood rushing to my cheeks and in the corner of my eye I could see a shade of red spreading over his as well." I learned that my champion's name was Antonus and that his taller and more intimidating colossal younger brother was named Maximus. Maximus decided that he needed to "refill" his drink and left us alone, to whom I noticed out of the corner of my eye, was in the opposite direction of where refreshments were being served as he headed towards Petra instead. The two of us walked and talked as I listened to tales of him and his brother's childhood and of their many adventures. I learned of their many travels to distant planets and many battles that they had been in, I couldn't help but feel sad when Antonus told me how they were always on the move from one battle to the next due to him and his brothers incredible power.

We ate dinner and would sneak glances at each other every chance we had. Once we were done eating the rest of the party guests and myself returned to the grand ballroom for a music and dance. I sat in my throne while I watched the ceremonial dancers put on a show for everyone, and once that was done I rose from my throne so the dance could begin, I stood there uninterested at the generals and other stuffed shirts that arose to seek my hand for the first dance. As I looked at them with an uninterested expression on my face I paused for a minute when I saw the one lone guardian standing among all the other high members of the reef society wishing to have my hand for the first dance, one lone hunter…my hunter.

I tried not to reveal my excitement for a queen is supposed to keep their emotions in check, my rule was already in question due to my young age.

He stood so confident and strong among the others as I walked towards him and took his hand for the dance, I could tell even though on the outside he seemed so sure of himself that he was nervous on the inside, it was quite adorable to say the least. I approached him and he asked, "may I have the honor of this dance with you your grace?" naturally I smiled and said in my most regal and flirtatious voice "you may have this honor guardian." After I accepted his request for a dance I placed my right hand into his big strong and callused hand while he simultaneously gently placed his other hand on my waist, naturally this caused the both of us to blush quite a bit. After we started dancing everyone began to grab partners and join us out on the floor. I smiled a bit more when I noticed your uncle walk up to Petra and ask her for a dance, it was amusing to see her caught off guard and blush at the large titans invitation. I could tell there might be something there between the two, which made me happy being I wanted something to happen between Antonus and I so I if his brother and my best friend (who is basically a sister to me) hit it off and became something then the two of us would be happy.

Your father was surprisingly well at dancing, when I asked him where he had learned to dance like that he blushed and said "I had ghost look up everything about formal dancing as soon as we received your invitation." I chuckled a bit but enjoyed to hear that he put a lot of energy into being prepared for the event. It made me feel special that he devoted time and energy into something besides combat and survival. It was even more entertaining to learn that Maximus had needed to spend more time learning because of his size and the fact he easily towered over Petra and it would be easy for him to crush her foot had he stepped on it. We danced and talked for most of the night.

The end of the night had come and I was upset that our dance and conversation was over, Antonus and I found our way to Maximus and Petra and we said our good nights, I could tell that Max and Petra seemed to be a bit closer and "friendlier." Our two guardians escorted us back to our chambers before leaving to return to their own rooms for the night before they left for earth in the morning, I was sad that they had to leave and wished they would stay with us. Petra stayed with me in my room and we talked a bit before we fell asleep, mostly we asked each other questions about what we thought of our possible future partners. After about thirty minutes to an hour we both went to sleep for a bit before we were woken up.

We were woken by the sounds of gunfire and screams, naturally Petra stood in between the door and I as she was prepared to die to protect her queen and family. Petra was getting a status report that informed us that the fallen had revolted and were killing citizens in order to escape and gain their freedom. I got dressed and Petra escorted me to a more secure place with pistol in hand, no doubt the fallen sought my head as revenge. Quickly we raced around hiding at corners while Petra checked around to make sure the coast was clear before we advanced. We managed to slip to the hangar undetected, or so I thought. As we were running towards and escape ship a large number of fallen fell from the ceiling knocking both Petra and I to the ground before restraining us. I thought this was the end for us because surely these fallen would kill us both without mercy, until we heard the sounds lightening and thunder crackling around us. No sooner than we heard the lightening and thunder a large crash was heard and a large portion of the fallen disappeared in arc current when Maximus came crashing down in to the middle of the fallen, while the other half was quickly cut and disintegrated when I noticed a quick moving object move seamlessly through them with blade in hand. Our champions had saved us. For the first time in my life I was witnessing the strength of the guardians, but not of any ordinary guardians, our guardians…the god slayers. I could see Maximus dodging and blocking fallen energy blades and send them flying with just his fists and just all around break the bodies of the traitors that had dared to attack us. It was both frightening and relieving to witness them fight to protect us. To see the anger and fury of these two warriors who had slayed gods and monsters directed at those who would dare to harm anyone they cared about, but I think I was most mesmerized by your fathers Bladedancer ability. He was engulfed in arc energy and it gave him unimaginable speed and power, he would quickly fly through the mass of fallen and cut them down and teleport at times and appear behind them and then slice right through them, at one point two fallen raced towards Petra and I and upon seeing this I noticed Antonus throw a knife into the back of one of them and seemed to use the knife as a conductor and instantly appeared holding the blade of the knife in the back of the fallen he had thrown it at while he, with one motion whipped around and ran his arc blade through the body of the last fallen that was running at us.

After the fallen were taken care of your father and uncle quickly ran up to both of us and held us close relieved that we were unharmed and safe now. I couldn't help but look into his eyes and tell him I loved him after he had fought so fiercely to make sure I was safe and had raced to my side. He looked me in the eye and without saying another word placed his lips on mine and gave me the most passionate kiss I imagine to ever exist, and without using words I knew he loved me back. After our embrace Petra teased us and said "I understand we're safe now but is now really the time for kissing?" no sooner she finished saying those words Maximus picked her up and planted one on her saying she talks to much. I nearly laughed out loud upon seeing Petra's eyes so wide I thought they would fall out of her head and her face redder than a tomato.

[back in the bedroom at the end of the story]

Mara's son "wow! It sounds like father is really strong! I want to see him fight!" Mara's youngest daughter agreed with her younger brother and wished to see her father in action for herself.

Mara's eldest in a slight ruining of the moment asked "mother when will father return?" Mara looked at her daughter and was about to reply and say she didn't know when before she could open her mouth a figure said from the door

"Right now, as always my timing is impeccable!" Antonus said his family. He was quickly tackled by his children in a loving embrace and after rising to his feet with both his youngest still hanging on his body wrapped his arms around his eldest and hugged her tightly and said "my you've grown, I missed you while I was away." After all his children had let go of him he walked up to the love of his life, his queen, and his wife and gave her a passionate kiss without uttering a single word to her. He didn't need to, for the kiss alone said everything he wanted to say. After separating from their kiss and his children in unison going "yuck!" even his eldest commented teasingly at how gross the two parents were. Mara asked her husband if Maximus was back as well and Antonus said with a bit of a chuckle, "yeah he's already with Petra, you can imagine how quickly they ran off after being separated from each other for so long." Mara laughed and said I'm not surprised, she's been worrying about him the whole time you two have been gone.

Now with both parents in the giant bed with their children Antonus said to everyone, "now who wants to hear about my and uncle max's adventure?"

All his children with wide eyes exclaimed together "we do!" and as Antonus snuggled up with his family began to recall his adventure and battles with their uncle and the numerous threats that guardians sworn to combat. As he energetically told the tale Mara couldn't help but nuzzle closer to her husband and marvel at their family and enjoy the fact that she was incredibly gifted with.

*A/N I know she says ball but being there's two of them I didn't feel like having the queen say balls Lol. Antonus and Maximus have been gone for about two years combating Crota and the hive and just returned. I haven't decided on the names for the children being this was my first piece of writing ever. I might do a version that's from the two brothers POV and of their time away until they come back to the reef, might even do one of their back-story that I have drafted up. I would appreciate feedback and generally what you guys thought, I don't normally write and this was just a spur of the moment kind of thing.
