The Taken Disciple

by Bozhestvennym

Based on what we know about Destiny's next expansion, "The Taken King", this will go through a Taken Guardian bringing back minions of the darkness as Taken to Oryx. But, there are other Guardians that catch word of this, and they have gone on a mission to stop this Taken Guardian before Oryx's mighty army is complete.

Chapter 0 – Prologue

A klaxon blares across the Prison. Lights flash, and a door opens. The opened door is located in the Vex arena of the Prison of Elders. A lone Harpy flies out, and the door closes again, and all is quiet. Somehow, Variks hasn't been alerted. The Harpy tests the main entrance to the Vex arena, attempting to escape. To the Harpy's surprise, it is already opened. Seeing this, the Harpy flies outwards, watching the first door close behind it.

It turns forward once more, to see the second door opening. It rushes through the opened door, only to be met with a Guardian. But, the Harpy does not fire, because the Guardian is not its enemy. The Harpy emits beeps and chirps, presumably of joy. The Guardian, shrouded in darkness and light, pulls out a torn and rusted Ghost, with an eye of red. The Ghost then proceeds to emit a ray of solar energy onto the Harpy. The Harpy is then shrouded in its own darkness and light.

"It has-s been t-taken, m-m-my master-r." States the Ghost, who has been fittingly named Taker.

"How have the Harpies reacted to being taken, or do we even have any records of it?" The Guardian asks after a period of time.

"No, we-e-e don't. B-but we ca-an make som-me." Replies Taker, all the while twitching uncontrollably.

"Well, then, we'll just have to bring it to Oryx and find out." States the Guardian.

And at that, the mysterious Guardian takes his Ghost and his now Taken Harpy into a jumpship, and flies off. His destination – Oryx's ship.
