Destiny: New Realms

by tomiscomin4u

In an unknown future after Destiny 3's events, the Guardian was given the ability to travel through realms to keep peace through the known realms. They are known as Realm Keepers. He was assigned by the very first person that traveled to another realm, Tirlis, Protector of Realms. One of the ten Morkoth Gods. What'll happen on the Guardian's new journey across the multiverse?

9. Head to Tarasovna

The Guardian was on his way back to Snow Palace. Tharo Bak was in a tantrum and then the ground started shaking and the people of Snow Palace asked, "What the hell was that? It can't be. Tharo Bak is going on a rampage. What happened?"

River heard that and then said, "It seems that she's pissed. Hey Guardian, are you there? Tell me that you are alive."

The Guardian said, "Hey there. Sorry about that. How long did you lose me?"

River sighed and answered, "5 whole days. We thought that you dead."

The Guardian said, "Well, I had to go underground. That was the only escape. The Fey in this realm is far too strong and smart. So we had to go underground. Kinda pissed off a Dragon."

River said, "We noticed. We can feel it. She's going on a rampage. What the hell did you do?"

The Guardian answered, "I killed Sig Ar."

Vertigo said, "And was out of ammo when he killed it."

River said, "I see. You killed Sig Ar. Wait a minute, you killed one of Tharo Bak's Lieutenants. No wonder why she's pissed off."

A Dragonkin smiled and said, "Guardian, you proved yourself loyal to our cause. Come see me before you speak with River. We have some business to talk about."

The Guardian said, "Sure thing."

The Dragonkin said, "Name is Arduri. See you when you get back."

The Guardian said, "Likewise."

While he was flying, Tharo Bak said, "It was the Fey's fault. They are the only troublesome enemy here. And the only group capable of taking out Sig Ar. It seems that we should ask our friends on Titan to help us out."

Gen Nil heard that and then roared and Tharo Bak stopped his rampage and said, "I guess that I'll do just that."

As soon as the Guardian got back to Snow Palace, the Guardian asked, "Where do I find Arduri?"

Vertigo answered, "In Black Siren. It's a bar nearby. You'll find him there."

The Guardian asked, "Where is Black Siren?"

A Dragonkin appeared answering, "It's just up ahead with the sign saying 'Black Siren'. It was founded 200 years ago by a Dragonkin known as Gakih. He passed away due to the House of Valors Kell, Zilzisk, Kell of Valor. Arduri took up the role of the owner after his passing."

The Guardian said, "I see."

The Dragonkin said, "Thank you for saving him, Exo. I guess that not all Exo are bad."

The Guardian said, "Well, I'm not from this realm, sir. I'm a member of the Realm Keepers."

The Dragonkin said, "Hm, then I guess that you have a point. Well, he's expecting you."

The Guardian said, "Thank you."

The Guardian walked forward and then entered the bar. As soon as he got to the bar, Arduri said, "Thanks for coming, Guardian. I hear that you need a warp drive."

The Guardian said, "It is true. I doubt that the Cult of Tomorrow will be on Earth after hearing the deaths of two generals of the House of Lions."

Arduri said, "I doubt that they would run after hearing that. They would probably make their next move soon. I know the location of a warp drive that you could use for your ship that you got from the Village Chief here. Head to Tarasovna. It used to be a populated area before the Collapse. The Humans there were creating a starship for interstellar travel. But were interrupted due to the Battle of Neverwinter."

The Guardian asked, "What is that?"

Vertigo answered, "The Battle of Neverwinter is a famous battle amongst the Guardians of this realm. It is where the Fallen almost won the war against the Guardians."

A Dragonkin next to the Guardian said, "The battle lasted for 10 days. 15000 Guardians and 200000 Fallen. If the Traveler didn't give us its blessing, then we would have lost the battle."

Vertigo said, "According to all records throughout the multiverse, this realm is known as the weakest. The Light here is diminishing and fast. It is being sucked out somehow."

The Dragonkin said, "You are right about that as well. The Hive are causing us a lot of trouble as well as the Cult of Tomorrow."

The Guardian heard that and said, "Hm, solve one problem, then another problem appears. Sounds like I got a lot of work to go."

Arduri said, "You know, once the Traveler gave us the Light, we were at our strongest. But after 50 years, the Hive appeared and attacked the settlements that were left. And tried invading the Last City a couple times. Maybe that's how the Traveler was getting weakened. But we don't know anything about the Darkness that it speaks of."

The Guardian said, "The Darkness is a threat that is capable of taking out a Traveler. A threat that is capable of making you mortal again. It'll strip you of your Light and you'll be weakened completely."

Arduri heard that and then said, "I see. You met the Darkness, huh?"

The Guardian answered, "Yes. And fought it to save the Traveler. And succeeded."

The Dragonkin next to him said, "It must have been scary losing your Light."

The Guardian said, "Not the first time that I lost it. The Red Legion stripped me of it for a week. Then went to a Shard of the Traveler to regain my Light."

Arduri said, "Tarasovna is a big place within Old Russia. I heard that Gigir, Corporate Fool operates there. He's a member of the Cult of Tomorrow. You might want to pay him a visit. All of the Cult of Tomorrow are enemies of the Guardians, Guardian. But I didn't just ask you here to tell you about a Fallen Captain and the warp drive. I asked you here because I wanted to give you a weapon that I used to use in battle before I got a new one. This is White Dagger. A sniper rifle that was passed down to me from generation to generation of my family. It'll be in good hands if I give it to you, Guardian."

The Guardian heard that and then Arduri took it out and placed it on the counter saying, "Here you go, kid. Make it worth your while."

The Guardian said, "I will."

Arduri said, "Well, Village Chief is waiting for ya at her place. So get going. Don't keep her waiting."

The Guardian said, "Sure thing."

The Guardian walked away and then the Dragonkin asked, "What do you think of that Exo?"

Arduri answered, "He's an ally till this is all over. We'll kill him in the end. Kill his Ghost first. Guardians are immortal with the Light. They are mortal without it."

The Dragonkin smiled and said, "I see. Sounds like we have a lot of planning to do to make that Guardian the enemy of all Guardians. And Humanity."

Arduri said, "Exactly."

As soon as they finished speaking to one another, Puthen said, "Hm, it seems that they plan on betraying the Guardian."

Etharo said, "We'll need to make our move soon then. The Traveler's Light is diminishing. Yet, the Light within that Guardian is burning brighter than everyone else's. What did you do, Guardian? What did you do to get your powers that big?"

Puthen answered, "Don't know, but he's the key to saving our realm."

Etharo said, "Exactly."

As soon as the Guardian got to River's Tent, River stepped out saying, "So, do you have the cores of both Bekys-30, Nya's Warden and Asterisk-29? Two generals of the House of Lions?"

The Guardian said, "Show her what we got, Vertigo."

Vertigo did and then hundreds of heads and two cores appeared. Everyone stared at the Guardian and River said, "I only asked for the cores of the Servitors, Guardian. Not the heads of your enemy."

The Guardian said, "A lot happened. Plus, I think that proof of the enemy would be nice. For all of the people that died, I took a head."

River said, "Well, we'll analyze the data within the cores of the two Servitors. While we're doing that, I would like for you to head to Tarasovna."

The Guardian said, "Gigir, right?"

River said, "So, Arduri filled you in already. He's guarding the starship that the people there were making to go to other stars. But they were stopped due to the Battle of Neverwinter. A lot happened afterwards and the Fallen took over that base. But then a couple weeks ago, those Fallen were wiped out by the Cult of Tomorrow members. And Gigir, Corporate Fool led the group. Gigir is guarding the starship so that no one can take it from there. Also, don't trust Arduri or that other Dragonkin with him."

The Guardian said, "I see. Wait, why not?"

River answered, "They have a huge grudge on the Exo. And you will be a stepping stone to their plan. So, once the battle against the Cult of Tomorrow is over, they'll try to kill you."

The Guardian said, "I will save the Traveler. I won't leave till I help the Traveler."

River heard that and then her Ghost appeared and then said, "It'll be difficult. The Traveler is almost completely drained out of Light."

The Guardian said, "Well, you haven't met me."

River smiled and said, "Well then, head to Tarasovna. Get that warp drive and come back here. I also had a scout survey the area around that area, she reported that there is a Servitor there known as Skerkys-19, Gigir's Wrath. Bring the core to me. We could learn more about the Cult of Tomorrow that way."

The Guardian said, "Smart thinking. But what info are looking for with those two cores?"

River answered, "Snow Palace is said to be a stronghold in fighting the Fallen that are left on Earth. So, we gain info and send it to New City."

The Guardian said, "On Mars with the Traveler?"

River answered, "Yes. New City is the Last Safe City in the solar system. Once we find out what the Cult of Tomorrow are up to, then I'll send you to them. Well, get going Guardian. We have info to send to the Vanguard."

The Guardian took off and then said, "To Tarasovna."

Vertigo gave him directions to where it was and then as soon as the ship appeared outside of the gates, he hopped out saying, "Here we are. Tarasovna."

Vertigo said, "Defeat the Fallen, kill Gigir, Corporate Fool, and take Skerkys-19, Gigir's Wrath's core. Sounds like we got our hands full."

The Guardian said, "Yep."
