Authors note I just wanted to thank kelab for giving me actual constructive criticism that helps me improve my writing.

I quickly shot up from my bed tears forming in my eyes but I push them down so I don't start weeping I shake my head to get the sound of a whip cracking out of my ears and the smell of ash out my noise "why did it have to be me I should have done something to help" i mumbled to myself for 5 minutes, I got up out the bed and walked out into the main living quarters I see bee turn to me with a worried look on her mechanical face "are you, okay you were growling and whimpering in your sleep I tried to come in but you shot an icicle through the door" she said in a quiet but comforting tone whilst pointing to the hole in the door, she tries to put her hand on my shoulder in an attempt to comfort me I push her hand away "I'm fine I didn't need help back in Skyrim and I don't need it now weres cat I need to speak to her" I say defensively sighs and points to cat "look I don't what happened in the past to make you this distrustful of others and why your so tense around new people but please if you do want to talk come speak to me" she says to me in understanding voice I nod and walk away.

I walk up to cat and sit down next to her "explain what those things I were fighting early today and who the fuck is Dracula because I don't know a vampire of that name" I say in very curiously tone she giggles a bit " okay those creatures we were fighting earlier were the fallen and they came after the collapse to hunt down the traveller and the traveller came to our solar system a few thousand years ago and gave humanity the ability to inhabit other worlds and moons now that we got the brief history lesson over I can explain the fallen fully the fallen are scavengers and pirates that came hear as I said earlier but they have different house think like tribes and you've got the house of wolves they haven't been seen for a while the ones we will be fighting the most are the house of Devil's the house of kings and the house of winter and each house has a kell that's there, leader okay now since we're going over species I'll cover all of them okay" she chirps happily and so she goes over them she explains that bee and cayde are exos humans transferred into different bodies and how the awoken are just mutated humans that are paracasul beings and she quickly explains the cabal hive and vex as well as explaining cars which were just automated carriges and ships to after that I put my hand on two fingers on my forehead processing the information " okay that's all of the species here and just how advanced our world is compared to yours don't worry if can't remember all of it this must be overwhelming for you okay and now for your second question Dracula is a vampire that's made up and for all, through out history we thought that vampires, we're just made up for fun so if you see something that's not accurate just ignore it it's for the best" she tells me with her up beat voice I sigh "do we have any paper and pen because i would like to start to design some new armour and weapons" I said as look at her into her single blue eye she shakes her shell in the same manor a person shakes their head i sigh and just decided to use illusion magic to do it "im going to make my own version of the nightingale armour and if want to thrive hear im going to have to embrace my vamprism fully and not just see it as a tool" i think to myself.

8 hours later

I'm finishing off the final details of my new weapons and armour that I can hopefully craft cat floats up to me " hey I just got a message from cayde he wants us to meet him up in the main plaza" she says in a curious voice I sign and get up and I stretch "I wonder what this is about" I said in a monotone voice I click my fingers and my nightingale armour comes back on to my body still ripped and torn I also get a potion of blood I walk out into the hall, I eventually enter the main plaza still drinking my breakfast I see cayde he waves "hey and how are you doing" he says rather happily and excitedly "I'm fine and what do you need so early in the morning not that I mind it's still dark out makes it easier on my scales" I reply polite "well you now that request you made for you to make some new weapons and armour well lucky for you I managed to talk the others into it mainly because one im awesome and totaly the best and two we doint know you're exact measurements because of your tail so we're going go to a traditional Black smith who's agreeded that you can use his forge because he excited about how a different were are in craftmens ship so let's go" I nod and we make our way to the blacksmiths cayde knocks "come In just mind the mess" a deep voice says cayde looks at and shrugs i open the door and walk and we see a toned man with black scruffy hair and apron he looks at us "well its nice to meet you young one now then names jake just tell me what materials you need il be happy to lend you some" he says with a child like grin on his face i hear cayde whistle "you make all of this stuff wow okay now I've got to ask how much for that pointy dagger" he says whilst point at the dagger made out of steel "im glad you like my work cayde but that ain't for sale unfortunately though for a price i can make you one if you want" jake say I cough and get their attention "right sorry i like to chat so what do you need and the forge is just at the back" he tells us whilst leading us to the forge "ive got my own metals and leather thank you now if you don't mind Id like to get work" I reply "of course you don't mind if watch do you learning new ways to sculpt armour and weapons could be crucial to our survial" I nod and I click my fingers as three bags land on the ground I open them and start to work my armour as im interweaving dragon bones and leather so I can still be the stealthy whislt having some very good protection as I get caught up in my work i dont notice how fast the time goes by.

I sigh in relief as my version of the nightingale armour is done and so are the weapons I equip my new chest piece instead of being made out of just leather its got dragon bone in it and coated in a thin layer of ebony it's kept the base structure of the nightingale armour it's now black and its purple were the silver lining was with a color that was below my eyes so it did not block my peripheral Vision and instead of just a cape it's now a cloak that wraps around me from front to back that drapes on the ground and the symbol on my chest is no longer a bird it's now a vampire bat flying forward with maw wide open I then equip pants the only difference is that makes my hips look bigger than already are other than that they haven't changed much except the material the same goes for the boots my tail as its own unique piece of armour and down the middle it had spikes coming down my tail, equip my gloves they were no longer fingerless they were bladed that curved around my fingers I put on my cowl that now had fangs on the front on the mouthpiece made out ebony the hooded bit I had placed on top for my horns, I grab my new sword that is forty inches in length its made out of dragon bone and coated in ebony its got small serrations on the blade because the blade is meant for precise cuts and stabs and the crossguard has bat wings on each side the pommel had two fangs on the bottom of each side I sheath my blade I grab my four new daggers with the same design and attach two on each leg I grab my short sword and sheath it on the back of my hip just above my tail and finally grab my new bow its made with the same materials as my other equipment I put on my back and walk out into the main area cayde and jake stop talking and look at me "okay can I just say you look really cool right now and by the way your titan friend wants to meet up" cayde says with a thumbs up "thank you jake for alwoing me to use your forge and thank you for the nice words cayde and cat what time is it" I said with pride clear in my voice but still reserved "its ten o'clock and you now i have to agree with cayde you like the queen of the unundead" cat says in extremely happy tone "right thank you cat I wonder what missions we will get first" I retort in polite manner i start to walk out " oh and dont forget to speak to banshiee for a gun oh and Amanda to" i hear cayde say to me I nod and walk out into the hustling city and quicky transform into a bat and fly up to the tower I feel the wind and the air under my wings I fly more upwards and spin and i see the tower closer in sight I fly closer just above the ground and transform and land on the marble white ground "talk about an entrance" i hear bee say in an amusied tone I turn my head to the right and see bee a seven foot giant of a woman "yes well i need to speak to someone named banshiee and a amanda and walking would have taking to long" i said to bee whislt walking up to the blue and yellow exo with guns on the table he looks me up and down "hmm cayde said you'd becoming here so what are looking for" he says whilst presenting me with a plethora of guns I decided to pick the hand cannon because it was precise and easy to hide "thank sithis cayde gave me the basic run down on guns on the way to jakes forge" I think to my self I inspect the weapon "the duke eh I shouldn't be surprised most of you hunters like your cannons" I hear banshee say to me i sheath the gun "thank you" I say to banshee he nods I walk off to the hanger.

I walk into the hanger with bee "right so we need to you a warp drive whatever that is so we can go to different moons and planets do we have any idea where to get one of those because it sounds like it's going to be exhausting to get one" I say to her whilst walking down some metal stairs and taking a left and I come across a small blond woman with a red handkerchief coming down from her neck wearing some bland pants and a sleeveless shirt and she's talking to cayde and Zavala we stop "ahh pashila cayde has just told me you would be coming here so can get a ship I would like you to meet Amanda holiday she's our ship right she will be supplying you with your ship and sparrow I'm sure cataclysm can teach you how to use them" Zavala said I raise an eyebrow and my tail arches in surprise "is something wrong is this too fast paced for you" zavala says to me in a caring tone I shake my head "no it's fine it's not the first time I've been overwhelmed it's just you seem to be putting a lot of trust in me and im a complete unknown, im grateful but its just surpriseing to me thats all" I said still trying to keep my compusure the three of them share a glance cayde looks at me " kid you need to have some faith people whether they are a fallen barnonness or someone you've never met before" cayde says I nod and I start to rummaging through my memory to see if there's something to give back in return for there kindness then something comes to mind i click my fingers and a book about defensive wards come into my hands I pass it to zavala he goes to say something but I cut him of "its a show gratitude for your kindness commder" I say to him i look to Amanda "your ship is in docking Bay 10 its the AX19 spindle deamon its purple oh its nice to meet you pashila wait can I call you pash because it can really annoying having to say someone's full name all the time no offence or is it not allowed" she says to me with an upbeat, but cuation in her tone i nod she sighs with relief zavala looks at us "welll then you two best get started" he says formally we nod "alright get ready for transmat" cat says as im transmatted into my ship.

I sit down in the chair and look at the buttons and dials on the dashboard I go try and start it cat reappears beside me "leave it to me for now okay Il teach you on the way" she says to me there's a sudden rush forward and pushes me back "that wasn't there last time" I think to myself I sign "so I'm going to patch us into a channel with bee and ghost so that we can communicate in long ranges" she says I nod to her I rest my head on my hand "hello can you two hear us" I hear ghost in my ear "yes we can ghost so do mind telling us were going to get this warp drive because I'm not being lead on some goose chase" I say to ghost coldly "ah well you see we're going have to go back to the cosmodrome it's the best place for one at the moment" I hear ghost say I feel cat turn the ship left and then down I then appear on soil I see snow on rocks and the ground I pull out the duke I turn my head to left and see bee in a mix of armours I also ser her pull out a shotgun we look "there's an old guardian ship that's been shot down near hear we should go investigate it" I hear ghost we run across this barron land we see a two old buildings that have been run down for centuries, as we see the ship in sight some fallen attack us with blue shots being fired everywhere one of them hits my shoulder I grunt in pain and I try firing the duke but it's loud and it blast upwards I miss I look around and I start using the buildings to judge how far away they I shoot again lucky hitting a dreg in the arm I fire again until I hit its head I see bee run up to an vandle I fire her shotgun at its arm it goes flying off, as I look at her fight I see in my peripheral vision to my right vandel with two swords run at me and try to slash me I barely managed to block its attack with my sword it tries again to slash me I step back as it does whilst disarming it one of its swords as I do I thrust my sword into its stomach, I pull my sword out and stab it in one of its forearms and then I decapitate it as I sheath my sword bee walks up to me "well good to know I have you beside me " I shrug and walk up to the crashed ship it had burn marks with a faint yellow and blue colouring I "let me scan I should be able to get us the signal" I hear cat say so I put her near the ship and she starts shooting blue beams at it "hmm it looks like there's a map underground hear if I'm correct here let me ping the signal" and she does we run to this run down building we get to the entrance and see some more falllen I pull out my sword and use nightwalk to get behind them and I stab in through his left lund and as pull out my sword I drive my knee behind there knee and drive my knee down and theres an audible pop as I pop there calf muscles I get up and the other one has now just realised that was there he tries to stab me with his knife I parry and drive my sword into its juggler and blood splatters everywhere "wow your brutal I know we were going to kill them but your just real ruthless and blood thirsty" bee say to surprise in her voice I look over to the one I paralysed and shoot it in the head "my world was kill or be killed besides I was groomed to be an assassins and good one at that me being brutly and ruthless is just a biproduct of my upbringing" I reply and walk off down stair i hear bees heavy foot steps behind me I take a left and there's more stairs I walk down them into a concrete, room and behind a wall that no windows and no door there was I blue map I walk up to the map I hear bee stop beside me she deploys ghost "well ive got the map and I know were the warp drive is but bad news the fallen have it were we found the ship we have to go back" I sign i walk up the stairs back into the open and I walk until I see a run down concrete building with rusted metal steps I walk up the steps and I see a door way i walk through and i see its another room with a broken floor and windows with fallen I grab out my bow and fire two arrows In the dreg and the vandel I hears bees heavy foot steps again but shes running this "you really need to wait longer okay" she says through her huffs i nod i jump down into the plaining to climb up but instead i jump again and vault up and I turn and see bee glide across the gap "since when could you glide " I asked whilst walking foward " oh right I was in the crucible when you where crafting you should having something similar to me at least that what I saw you hunters jump alot" she says we contuine and walk through an big opening and were back in the room with the giant hole we walk in the fallen shoot at us i get shot a few times before and it stings i start feel this power bubble up in me i jump and i jump again "what the fuck is happing I must be tapping into some new power" i think to myself I land and slightly stumble i pull out my duke and start firing and hitting some dregs and shanks and I feel my hand heat up i fling it forward as a flaming knife comes out of nowhere, it hits a dreg in the face im confused but I'm quickly pulled out of as loud noice comes from the wall a giant fallen comes out of it my eyes widen a bit but I regain my composure quickly and start firing at it and I get behind cover I hear a click coming the duke "your out" i hear cat say in my head I pull out my bow start launching arrows as noicte bee leaping high in the air while glow ing blue with sparks then a massive slam it stumbles yet agan i feel a power come up i luanch my right hand in the air as I do i feel my body combust into fire and a flaming pistol in my hands i shoot at the archon and on the third bullet the blaze dies the same with golden flaming gun the archon dies "nice you just used a golden gun without any instruction that was pretty unexpected when you did though" hear cat say i gaze at my hands alarm "you mean just butsting into flames is normal because its not for vampires i should be dead or at least very injured care to explain catacylism" i shout demandingly the room rumbles and ice shoots out of my maw "oh right you get powers to i guess we missed that with your arivall i can also bring you back from the dead" she mumbles sheapishly my i slam my tail in anyer at her "were going to talk when were back at the tower" i growl through gritted teeth "we have the warp drive lets take off" i hear bee say trying to lighten the mood i nod.

I transmat on the ground with bee we walk into the hall of guardians and up to Zavala he looks up to us "both of your first days on the job and you've already killed an archon impressive I must say and pashila I hear you've to discovered you're new abilities cayde and will tell you more anyways excellent job you two" he says to us in a very pleased tone.
