I was on the dreadnaught, Oryx's hive ship, and I was his most trusted soldier and I was the last of his army, I had earned the name of Noxaras the impeller, but Nox for short, I was a taken Arkon and my king had called me to the throne room, it was about something important. So I made haste to the throne room, I traversed through the empty hive ship, worms covered the floors, and skulls were everywhere, as I ran, everything was just blurred, I needed to get to Oryx. I got to the throne room, my king was by the front of the ship, his wings were enclosed and his sword was resting in his hands, his feet touched the ground and he was no longer floating, he looked worried, and angry, after all we were the last ones left. I looked around the room, I could see the stars, and his sisters were not in there spot, up on their towers, I'm assuming the guardian killed them as well, during their final assault! The room was large and covered in the death of my fallen bredrin, but I did not feel, I couldn't, my abyss like skin and body jerked a bit at the thought, but I brushed it off.
I made my way up the stairs to him, and he spoke "my loyal taken, I have a task that you must do" he spoke with authority so I nodded and waited for my mission briefing, he spoke again in a low growl "I need you to use this vex time gate I have captured, and go back in time and destroy earth before it met the traveller." My king, had given me a very hard task, killing earth won't be easy, I'm only one taken, but if I could get my hands on the wildlife, I could be many! I needed to do this, for my entire race, so I nodded in approval to my king's request.
He proceeded to speak again, with a hint of happiness "The reason, I am sending you is because, you are my most trusted warrior, and everyone else is dead, their souls are stained in the stars, with my son Crota, so you must undo are end" I nodded to his speech, then he directed me to the stolen Vex gate, that we had obtained beforehand on Venus.
The gate itself was large and radiating with energy, its tech was outstanding, and it would be the key to are salvation, my king spoke again "Now once you are in the past, create a hidden foothold on the world, you may not have the power of the taken, but you are the last, you are the salvation of the hive, now you must go and save us!", I nodded, after all how could I refuse? But why could my king not come with me, I need guidance, but then it hit me, maybe he was weak, after all the guardians killed him, they stained him across the stars, then it hit me, this was oryx using his last bit of power, to save are entire race. This I respected, so with that, Oryx used his taken powers and the Vex gate activated, and sprung to life, and I did not hesitate to jump into the light.
At first, I saw my vision sparkle and distort, and then I felt weightless, then heavy and all the above, before hitting the ground, with a bang, my knees clipped, and I fell to the floor, dropping my scorch cannon, but I got back up, I proceeded to pick my gun up, then I then surveyed my surroundings. I was in a forest of tall green trees, bushes everywhere, I was in the past, there was no tower and no guardians, no robots and no dead trees in sight, I was all alone, but that feeling would have to wait, I had work to do, I looked at the pitch, black sky, it was most definitely night. I started walking towards some strange lights, that I presumed were coming from a settlement of some sort, I believe the humans call them towns and cities.
As I made my approach towards the lights, buildings came into view, I could see tall poles with a light on the end, that shined like the crystals on the dreadnaught, I banished that thought from my mind, and proceeded forwards through the woods, making sure along the way that nobody was following. After a few minutes I had reached the town, I could not find any signs naming the town, but at least this was a start, to the destruction of this world. I then saw the sun start to rise, so I decided t was best to remain in the woods, I may be strong, but against bullets, I could be damaged and potentially killed, dooming my race.
As I headed back into the woods, I found a very sheltered area that could prove as a camp, for now, but the I heard a rustle from the nearby bushes and a sound that appeared to be that of, running? I took no time crouching down and raising my scorch cannon, I would avoid confrontation if I could, but given the circumstance I will attack with lethal force, always. As the creature got closer the tension in the air around me, built up, until a creature burst from the bushes, racing past my hiding spot that was a few metres away, I could only describe it as strange creature, it had a brown for coat, with pale patches and a long neck to hold its head.
Realising the creature was not a danger, I relaxed a slight bit, until seven humans raced after it, they were most likely hunting it for food, but there was something that I didn't understand. First why hunt without a weapon? Second why are they so fast? their almost blurs in my eyes, and thirdly, why are they opening their mouths? all my questions were answered, just as the creature began to die!
They tackled the creature to the ground, and they clamped down on its neck, the creature jerked a bit, but in the end, ceased to live, they not only bit it, but they killed it, that's why they didn't have weapon. But I realised something, they appeared to be strong and adapted at hunting and they were certainly faster than me. Going of my instincts, I mustered up my will, and teleported a short few miles away from the predicted threat, I realised the, that I may not have a lot of luck in this forest. So, I proceeded to head up into the mountains. My reason for this would be that, one I would have an overlook of the land and tow, nobody would find me in such a remote spot, going off my logic, I began my long journey up the mountain and I made sure to keep the thought of destruction on my mind, as I was not going to sway from my king's order's.
Upon reaching the top of the mountain, I looked down and saw the forest, but looking over to the town I saw something, it appeared to be a vehicle of sorts, but it was near out of control! Until it raced into a building, before stopping, the recoil against the vehicle made it jump in reaction, and a human walked out from where the vehicle was about to crush her. Now how did the vehicle stop, I pondered the thought, but in the end, I just realised I had more important things to do. My king would not be here for the next few million years, this gave my time to think and to process my mind on my next course of action.
After some time, my body began jerking a slight bit, my energy felt depleted, I did not understand, I should not be tired, then it hit me, without Oryx I had limited energy, and I needed to recharge my energy through small periods of hibernation, or sleep as the humans call it. I realised that I needed energy and this process could not be helped, so I let the void take me, into my short rest.
