I gave Cayde's killer's a lesson they never forget, especially since I got up and personal with Uldren, put a bullet in his head and then ate a sandwhich. By the way, the Dreaming City is BEAUTIFUL! It officially cements the Awoken as Space Elves with the arcitecture and designs. The weapons and armor add to that so Bungie did well with the asthetics designs there. But the last mission to unlock the treasure chests to complete the Ace of Spades quest was like a bullet to the heart, especially since the last message Cayde left was for us.

Forgive me, was a little emotional there. On with the story.
P.S.-Hinata is a dimension traveler, so any of you viewers are confused as to why she's in this world, that's why. It's all in the first chapter, just read it more carefully alright?
Child of Sorrow
The Deep spoke to me this time, telling me of an apprentice I must teach to take like I do. The child hailed from a different world and had appeared to be injured. He was weak to my eyes-till he threw Crota across my halls and ravaged many of my Court. His prescense darkened any hall, no light remained. Even the Worms were unnerved as the Deep guided the child to a planet.
I was not disappointed.
Starlight faded, suns swallowed, planets eaten.
This child had lost its Light, and in anger stole light from all things to sustain itself. I never seen such primal power as life from planets were consumed in the boy's never ending hunger. Turanox he calls himself, formly known as Naruto like I as Auryx-now-Oryx formed a kinship of brotherhood. He was the Deep's Voice and communed even out of the throne world. My sister's sought audience with him yet very few proved worthy of his attention as he ate life after life.
His true form was a marvel-a symbol of terror that herald the Deep's coming as we followed it. They call it the King of Terror, Golden Demise, Planet Eater and I praise it all the same-a fellow king that serves the Sword-Logic in its purest form of destruction. Turanox claimed this form is one of respect of a dragon that truly follows the Sword Logic before its untimely demise eons ago. It had a name, and true to my nature I inquired of it.
The name he spoke of held power, a power that even inflicted edges of fear upon me...
"...Ghidorah." Hinata spoke the name as she traced the faint image of a three headed dragon ravaging an unknown planet on the tablet etched in Hive rune. The entire Vanguard Quarter was silent at the sound of the name as even the Speaker was there to speak with her and was silent.
She had been in the Tower for several weeks, trying to learn the current variation of Japanese they had in this era as she worked as a translator for the Books of Sorrow. Her ability to translate things was impressive when she agreed to take it seriously. They did know of her saying Turanox's real name and decided to keep silent about it, sensing a personal connection between the two. They tried to understand what she was, as the powers she held were not those of the Light or Darkness, but something else.
"...What is this...Ghidorah?" the Speaker calmly asked, speaking in a rough accent in his Japanese. The weeks of staying at the Tower, learning that Japanese was one of the languages here allowed her to speak with others after a long time of Eliksni. A rough form of comfort for her during her stay here.
"A dragon from another reality, whose sole purpose was to devour life on planets and has herald the end of countless worlds. He was long dead, but his legend and his legacy never died." Hinata answered truthfully as she closed her eyes. She remembered back in her world of Naruto's unique existence.
His blood tampered with that of a dragon if she recalled, to give him power no human can wield. He was born a monster but had a gentle heart; but like all legends about dragons they carry the potential of destruction when angered. She remembered it every time of how Jiraiya backstabbed Naruto at a crucial moment and the deep-seated hatred that was etched into the boy's soul.
The Deep, or the Darkness the City call it gave Naruto a new shape-a new King Ghidorah. He's been in this world for some time honing his power as a Planet Eater. She needed to find him and find how bad the rage is. But this recording was ages ago, way before the Darkness found Earth and Humanity.
Her thoughts were snapped closed when Zavala knelt before her with a serous expression. "Priestess please tell us, how dangerous is this dragon?" he asked. Hinata was deathly quite to that one and she tried her best to breath as she recalled the documents on the original King of Terror.
"...The City will fall in a single night with no survivors." she answered. Several people fell on their rears at the statement as Ikora skimmed through several of the tablets, trying to figure out where Turanox is and probably send in a fireteam to eliminate the threat.
"If this Turanox can do that, why hasn't he done so?" the Speaker asked, getting her attention. "To be honest, I really don't know. I didn't sense his power when I was travelling to other planets with the Eliksni. It's like, he's out of range at the moment."
"Or out of this dimension." Ikora stated as she held one of the tablets of the Books of Sorrow. She handed it to Hinata as she read it. She was somewhat disapppointed and relieved at the same time. Disappointed that she had missed her friend, and relieved he wasn't here on a warpath with her in the crossfire against the Guardians.
Turanox spoke to me, of his time in this world is near its end. He spoke of seeking revenge on the one who wronged him and I respect him for that. My blood oath with my sisters still stands as the one who murdered our father is still out there. He seeks a similiar path, and he does so with the Sword-Logic as his way. I taught him how to take and did he take well, the Deep saw promise in him and will be with him in every waking moment while we continue our crusade.
The rifts open to him and his hunger began anew, the Great Devourer soared across time and space with renewed vigor for Light. A friendly competition with my Hive to see who feasts the most will be most enticing...
But what impressed me most was that a Brood Queen requested she go with him, one of my own brood. I accepted as she followed him, for he had no objections to her company as I forsee a new type of Hive with newer ferocity if we meet again. Turanox is truly a worthy disciple to inherit my mantle as Taken King and may all fall beneath his blade, as the Planet Eater reigns forever.
Hinata closed her eyes as the Vanguard looked at her, they saw grief in the girl's expression as Cayde gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder. "Turanox was a friend of yours...wasn't he?" he asked as the girl merely nodded her head. "He still is...when his source of light was damaged he was in a state of constant agony and lashed out violently against those responsible for it, but not before he stole the light of that world in retaliation." she responded solemnly as she remembered Naruto's anguish.
The creature known only as the Radiant One taught him how to use light in many ways like it did, but it also allowed Naruto to inherit the same weakness. With the Prism of Stars damaged and leaking light, Naruto must now constantly seek any variation of light to ease his pain, and since he also had the power to travel dimensions like she did, his sources of light were nigh infinite-Pillager of Light indeed.

Turanox walked towards the girl, noticing she was craddling someone that had died just a few moments ago. He was the empty 'body' of Naruto Uzumaki, reanimated with its own will as the soul of Naruto was in another dimension raging war. His purpose was to feed his strength and was mildly curious of what was happening the minute he landed in this world.
In Valithun, a newly born Brood Queen of Oryx hovered beside him, whispering an idea that was worthy of such vicious cunning. It was worth a try and see where this goes from there.
"You lost her, didn't you?" he asked her as the girl refused to leave her gaze on her deceased friend. "You wish to be stronger so that she may be safe, yes? How about a simple deal, I give you power. All you must do is nurture it in battle and return it to me when your goal is complete, no other catch."
The girl looked at him with an unreadable expression as her shield winded up, "Will you help me save her by learning the truth of this Kyubey, its intentions, and foiling their plot?" she asked as Turanox mused at the thought with an inquiring look. "Unless you have time-travel at your disposal then sure." he answered as the shield on the girl's arm activated. Then Turanox knew that they were in the past-oh believe it, he knew time travel when he saw it and with it, opportunity.
"May I know the name of the contractor so I may help her in her plight to save a dear friend?" he asked politely as In Valithun made a mockery of a grin on her face as the girl looked at him dead in the eyes, "Homura Akemi." she answered.
That day, a demon king and witch made a contract that would shake this dimension's foundaries by the core.
