Chapter 4
Weiss and Ikora were in the library of the Warlock.
Weiss: So this is where I learn to become a Warlock?
Ikora: Yes.
Weiss: With enough training, I could save the universe on my own.
Ikora: Is that what you accepted me as your Vanguard for?
Weiss: No, of course not.
Ikora gave a look.
Weiss: Ok. Maybe a little.
Ikora: Understand this. The Warlocks are powerful and intelligent manipulators of the universes will. But your Fireteam has to come first. A true Warlock does not train to become the most powerful. A true Warlock knows their weakness. We are the balance between raw power and true understanding. And understand that your team can make you just as powerful as our enemies.
Weiss: Ok. You're right.
Ikora: I want you to come with me. There's a place Warlocks visit to gain their powers.
The two walked to a remote part of the library, and saw a massive structure with a glowing purple portal.
Ikora: Enter the portal.
Weiss: What's on the other side.
Ikora: That's for you to discover. But whatever occurs inside, don't fight it. Embrace it.
Weiss took a deep breath and stepped into the portal. Purple energy began flowing through her in an alternate dimension. The dark energy began flooding her body. She let herself go as the energy engulfed her. Seconds later, she shot out of the portal, crashing into the ground next to Ikora.
Weiss: Ow.
Ikora: How do you feel.
Weiss: Like I just got turned inside out.
Ikora: Good. It worked. You are now one of us. You're a Voidwalker. Those who have peered into the void are not bound by the laws of space and time. You can tear reality with a single gesture, and fire the energy of collapsed star to decimate foes on the battlefield.
Weiss: Cool. How long until the pain goes away?
Ikora: Three...two...
Weiss suddenly shot up, breathing heavily.
Weiss: That feels good. That power. What's next?
Ikora: You are a Voidwalker. But Warlocks also take a second name...Sunsinger. Flames even the darkness fails to extinguish. This is a power from within. We all have a fire in us. But it's years of studying that helps us unlock this.
Weiss: I think I have another way that's faster.
Weiss pulled out her sword and switched it to fire. She walked into the portal again. In the void, Weiss shot fiery energy from her sword. This time, the fiery energy infused with the void, charging into her body, giving her solar powers. She got shot out of the portal a second time in more pain than last time.
Weiss: Please tell me I don't have to go in there again!
Ikora: No. But congratulations. In what could've taken anyone else months or years you just accomplished in minutes. Don't tell anyone...but you're my favorite.
Weiss: Thanks.
Ikora: Come. I'm sure Cayde won't mind if we use his training room.
