I looked around me and inspected the different Guardians. Cayde was a medium build much like the other Guardians around us. I especially inspected their cloaks, some had vibrant markings and symbols while others were torn and bloodied from numerous battles. I also noticed there were Guardians that were much bigger than Cayde was. They barely fit within the seat's restraints and their armor was bulky and seemed extremely heavy.

I turned to Cayde and asked, "Why is that Guardian so different from the others?"

Cayde responded, "Well that right there is a Titan. They're the biggest of us Guardians but not always the smartest."

The Titan turned to Cayde and laughed, "You're lucky I'm restrained Cayde otherwise I'd teach you some respect."

Cayde glanced towards the Titan and smirked, "Oh look I hurt Zavala's feelings, I'm sorry big guy meant nothing by it." Cayde let out a chuckle.

Cayde turned back to me and pointed towards another Guardian. "That right there is a Warlock. They're extremely smart but are usually buried in their books. Not that it's a bad thing but they're very… weird."

A female warlock turned towards Cayde and spoke intelligently, "Cayde, remember it was I who taught you the blink ability so you can teach your fellow Hunter kin. Don't make me take it back."

Cayde turned immediately towards her with a worried demeanor, "No no please Ikora I'm sorry I take it back, Warlocks are nice kind people. See? All better." Ikora grunted and turned away.

Cayde leaned over to me in his seat and whispered in my ear, "That Ikora is a real hard-ass. Doesn't know how to have any fun."

I didn't respond I just kept staring at one of the cloaks a Guardian was wearing. It had a symbol of a wolf on it decorated in a white and gold color. The image of the entity I saw when I was burning alive came back to me. I noticed the material of the cloak was similar to the material of her robe.

I turned towards Cayde, "What type of Guardian is that?"

Cayde smiled, "I'm glad you asked Guardian… oh before I forget, what's your name? I'm not going to keep calling you 'Guardian'." He chuckled.

I responded, "My name is… Phoenix."

Cayde started to laugh, "Are you serious?! What are the odds?! You get reborn and burn down an entire forest and your name is Phoenix! Oh man that's golden." Cayde motioned his arm to wipe an imaginary tear from his eye.

I heard Ikora whisper, "...from the ashes."

I turned towards her and she studied me until Cayde grabbed me and made me face him.

Cayde continued, "Like I was saying before: that amazing Guardian right there is the best of the best. Top Darkness Assassin. Top Guardian Class and look at that style. No other Guardian is like that of a Hunter." He looked at me and smiled.

"And by the look of your armor Phoenix you may very well be a Hunter."

Skye immediately materialized and screamed, "No he's not! He's a Warlock! And that's final!"

Everyone in the ship turned towards Skye and stared in silence.

Cayde shocked turned to Skye, "Listen take it easy little light there's no need to be upset I-"

Skye immediately cut him off, "What'd you just call me?!" I looked at Skye her tone struck fear into all of us.

"Hey Skye, it's your friendly pal Phoenix… why don't we just calm down and relax and-"

"Did you just tell me to calm down?!"

it was at this moment I realized I just messed up. Bad.

"Now Skye what I meant was-"

"No no no I'm sorry Phoenix did you just tell me to calm down?!"

Cayde started to chuckle, "I see who wears the pants in this relationship."

I ignored Cayde's remark and took off my helmet to look at Skye. She was met with a human male face of tan hue. I looked straight into her central eye. She was met with bright emerald green eyes attempting to calm and comfort her. Skye looked at me strangely while turning her exterior edges.

"Wow...Phoenix your eyes are mesmerizing"

I looked at her and smiled, "What do you mean?"

"They're beautiful like the cosmos and all its..." She stopped herself, "I mean you got dirt and burnt crap all over your face. Go clean yourself up dummy." She materialized into me.

I laughed, "Well that was rude."

She didn't answer but I felt her thinking strongly about something. I looked at my helmet and saw my reflection in the cracked visor. My hair was medium length just about covering my forehead and a little bit of my eyes. It was a dark dark green color, almost black but in the light you can see a bit of dark green come through.

Next I examined my eyes which I could see how they calmed Skye so quickly. They almost glowed emerald green. It was easy to get lost staring into them. I went to touch my face to try to smear the burnt dirt from my face but it just made it worse. I sighed and put my helmet back on. I looked up to notice everyone staring at me including Cayde who was smiling.

I asked him, "What is it?"

Cayde's smile turned into a smirk, "Nothing Guardian you just made me remember when I was first brought back from the dead, that was a long, long time ago."

Cayde sighed, "Yep I was just a lil tike then, so naive in the wild. Good times, good times."

"I bet they were Cayde" I nodded.

"Well Phoenix we're here" Cayde grasped my shoulder, "take a look pal."

He clicked a few buttons to his right and the back of the ship's hatch illuminated with projections that displayed what was behind the ship. I gasped. We were there. We reached The Tower.
