This chapter is going to be shorter mainly due to the lack of things I can think of for this idea, and I'm writing at 12 in the morning.


Chapter 2: Introductions

Hours later Locus started to wake back up, slightly remembering his dumb plan to win the fight, and not recognizing where he is or the voices he hears.

"I don't care how green this guardian is, he shows the strength to even rival Ikora in the Crucible."

"Shax now is not the time to compliment his…. 'skills', his choice was risky at best. Even Andal would question it."

"Quit your petty squabbling, we all know that Zavala will lecture him as soon as he awakes. As he does with all new guardians." The third voice sounded older, and a lot calmer than the others, and they all turned to Locus, groaning as he sat up.

The first to speak was the second voice, "Take your time young one, you knocked yourself out pretty hard in your fight."

Locus rubbed his head, "Yeah my fight….Um who are you people, if you don't mind me asking."

"I am Lord Saladin, sentry of the Iron Banner. The one with the horns is Lord Shaxx, handler of the Crucible. And…."

"And I can introduce myself Saladin. I am Osiris, the Warlock Vanguard mentor. I'm here because your own mentor, Andal Brask, is busy gambling his money with his protege."

As soon as Osiris finished the door opened and a hooded man walked in. "Come on Osiris, you don't give me enough credit. Cayde and I were only making sure we could properly introduce our new guardian to his new life."

While looking at Aura as she appeared Locus spoke, "My callsign was Locus according to records. But my name was Kaleb Washington."

"Well that makes you an interesting case," Osiris spoke suddenly, "You're one of only a handful of guardians to know who they were to an extent. Another being Ana Bray, again a Hunter." he then gives Andal a dirty look.

"What does that look mean Osiris," Andal asked sounding sarcastically offended, "You do think my Hunters are a problem for this?"

Shaking his head, Osiris sighed and waved off the question. "Now's not the time for that discussion Andal. You should really give him the introduction before Zavala or the Speaker bore him to another death with theirs."

"Right, come on kid. Time that you see the last safe city on Earth."

And then Andal lead Locus, now known as Kaleb to those few to get close to him like Andal and Osiris, to see the City and to begin his work as a guardian, and eventually a Vanguard Scout under Cayde's teachings. But was not prepared for what he found after the Red War had ended.
