The moon was silent, and all was calm in the landscape, save for one small bit of movement near the Hellmmouth, the Hive's hellish pit that extended far down into the core of the stellar body. At the very edge of it, a grunt could be heard, one of great exertion and pain.
As the sun shone down upon the lunar surface, a hand shot out from over the edge, and grabbed the top of the cliff. Heaving their body up and over the boundary of the sinkhole, they climbed onto the lit area of the moon's atmosphere, and immediately crumbled to the ground in pain from the shock of seeing such bright light after so long in nothing but the squalid and filthy darkness.
As she writhed on the ground, a rumbling could be heard down below, the growl of a predator that had just lost its prey. Shakily, the individual picked themselves up and continued to run away from the pit, wherever her legs would take her.
She didn't yet know it, But Eris Morn had a large part to play in the events to come, one that would shape how the future unfolded; whether it would live on in freedom, or fall to slavery in the shadow of a monster.
The return of Crota was at hand.
