Chapter 1
Graduation
I should probably start with my name first since it's common courtesy to introduce first, but anyway my name is Cayde Alvarez, I want to tell you my story about my life. I know that everyone wishes that they have a perfect life without any trouble, but that is nearly impossible with my life as an example can have ups and downs to it. Anyway I'll begin my story when I was eighteen years old and graduating the academy with two of my childhood friends Airalin Brant and IIyas Moser, so let's begin.
The graduation was in a giant auditorium where all Exo, Humans, and Awoken races were located along the chairs, but I was sitting with my two childhood friends Ilyas and Airalin. Airalin is the person that I develop affection for the four years i spent in the academy with her, but with her long blond hair and her peach colored skin with her gorgeous sapphire blue eyes i just feel like nothing could go wrong when i am with her. My other friend Ilyas is always buried in a book whenever i hang out around him, despite his book habits I'm pretty sure that his sand colored hair and his hazelnut eyes he could get with any girl without any problems. The auditorium was very loud for me to hear my friends among the chatter of others, but I managed to notice that Airalin was nudging my shoulder saying "Hey Cayde are you ready to become Guardian?" I gave her a smile and replied "Yes I am totally ready for this." as this was going on Ilyas was buried in his book as I see Airalin snatching his book away saying "Hey Ilyas why don't you talk to us we're your friends here, not that book." As I laughed at this, Ilyas was flustered by this and says "Come on guys I needed that book to know what class i am most likely to be put in when I see the Traveler." as Ilyas looked at us as I say "Oh yea that's right the Traveler chooses our path as Guardians, but I wish that I could be a Striker because they're so strong and cool with their smash…. oh sorry Airalin what do you want to become since you already have training as a Hunter." as I finally finished Airalin spoke "Well thank you for asking Cayde, well I would like to become a Nightstalker since their trained in stealth and quick killing, plus I just love how their bow looks."
As she finished talking Ilyas looked like he was about to burst with things to say as Airalin says "Ok Ilyas you can speak now." as Airalin gloated "Well I have thought for a long time and thought I would like to be a Sunsinger because I can help out my teammates whenever everyone's dead plus the Sunsingers get giant flaming wings whenever they are resurrected." As we finished talking we heard the mic, roar to life as the three Vanguards, Zavala, Cayde-6, and Ikora approached the stage and called for everyone's attention. As Zavala took the mic and began his speech "Welcome Awoken's, Exo's, and Human's to your graduation to become Guardians that protect the last city that we live on. As you all know, once you meet the Traveler you'll get your powers to become heroes, but being a hero can also mean death for you and your allies, you knew that before accepting this role. But Legends live on forever. So what are you Guardian? Someone that only fights? Or do you succeed? Do you have what it takes to make your mark on history, to make people for generations from now remember your actions? Are you prepared to make the sacrifices, to handle burden? Do you have the heart? When all hope is lost, and the Darkness smothers the Light, what will you do? Be a ray of Light from a dying Traveler? Or be consumed by the Darkness? Your actions will always have a result for the future."
Ikora walked up to Zavala and took the mic from him and says "Everyone get in class order from right to left, first Titans, then Hunters, and then Warlocks." as everyone gets up and walks up to the front I say "Well then let's get going the the front of the room and hope that we get our supers that we like." as i stretched my body both Airalin and Ilyas say "Same to you buddy." as we gave our goodbyes for the time being i start to walk up to the front of the podium and lined up in front of the other Titans as well as Airalin and Ilyas did the same for their class.
