Goliath: New Birth

Chapter 4

Ghost had spent half of his life wandering. Just looking for wherever his Guardian may be. He had spent the other half in conversation. Either learning, or teaching. Ghosts tend to spend their life before meeting their Guardian as Nomads. Gathering as much useful information as they can before their time comes.

But Ghost had never explained something so fully as when he explained the arrival of the Traveller, the Golden Age, the Collapse, and the steady recovery of humanity to Cadron. He told tales of the amazing technology of the golden age. How for a short time in Human history, there was no need to build weapons, there was peace. Then he told of the horrific acts during the collapse. The failure of the Exodus mission, the ending struggle of the Ishtar Collective. Then he told magnificent tales of the rise of the light, the rise of the Iron Lords. Then the Iron Lords just disappeared, leaving Lord Saladin as the only remaining lord. Then he talked of the six coyotes, how they reached for the stars. The battle of Twilight gap, how a small group of titans defied orders and held the wall until reinforcements could arrive. He told of the Thanatonauts, Warlocks who died thousands of times to learn a little bit of information. He told her of important figures, like the Vanguard, the Speaker, and the factions. By the time he was done talking, they were nearing the tower.

Cadron had sat through the flight, quietly listening to Ghost. She asked a few questions here and there. But now that they were safe, Ghost was more than happy to explain everything. As they neared the tower Cadron asked were to dock.

"Oh we don't need to. Now that the ship is running we can use a transmat instead. The ship will dock itself. Just be aware it can be disorienting the first couple of times."

She prepped herself for whatever this transmat was. As the ship pulled up to the tower it turned to face the building. She was prepping for the cockpit to open and shoot her out, or something like that. But before she could even get ready for that, she was standing on the tower. She immediately ran for the railing. As she spilt what little she had eaten in the ship over the side, a sweeper bot walked past her and thanked her for keeping the tower floor clean. When she was done Ghost floated up to her

"Alright, if you're good to go we'll head to the Vanguard now."

As she walked through the courtyard she looked at all the people. Shop keepers, and guardians. She caught a couple of stares, and a few people welcomed her as she walked past.

"You can take your helmet off now if you'd like, we're safe here."

For the first time since she had left the highway, she pressed the release on her helmet. Ghost got his first good look at his Guardian, and was surprised. Underneath that helmet was a long, red, flowing mane of hair. As the sun reflected off of it, it looked like a river of fire. Her face was extremely sharp, she had a long jaw that nicely accented her red lips. Her eyes looked like the massive green oceans of Titan. She turned around to feel the warmth of the sun on her face again, and then she saw it for the first time. The Traveller. It was a massive floating silver orb. If she was asked to describe how big it was, she really wouldn't be able to explain. She just couldn't take her eyes away.

"Your first time seeing him? It can be quite a shock to the system."

Cadron turned to the source of the voice. She seemed to be a hunter, from what Ghost had described them as. She was also an Exo, the first she had met. Her face was made of white alloy, and she had glowing blue eyes. Her cloak was black, with a yellow stripe down the center, it was wrapped around her right shoulder, and it reached to about her thighs. She had a body suit on, which was very tight fitting. It was mostly gray, but had accents of blue and white, the only armour on the suit was on her arms. There was a belt wrapped arpund her waist, full of supplies, like grenades and ammo. The most eye catching thing was the rifle on her back, it was yellow with black accents. But the strange part was the two rings that wrapped around the barrel of the rifle.

"Um yea, my name is Cadron. I've had a lot of firsts today. I was just revived, thanks to this little guy."

Ghost floated out from behind her and greeted the stranger.

"Ah, this must be your ghost. Funny little machines aren't they. I must be on my way, but it was nice to meet you. Maybe we'll meet again in the future. Goodbye Cadron, and goodbye little light."

She took a few steps passed them and transmatted away. Ghost chuckled at being called a little light. It was funny but at the same time it bothered him.

"Funny, I've never seen her here before. She must be a new hunter."

After realizing she didn't catch the Exo's name, she walked forward into the Vanguard chambers.
