CHAPTER 9

JOHN XUR

Commander Zavala sighed. His breath was heavy. Ikora looked away from him. Doors opened. Cayde-6 walked in with a new Hunter's Cloak. A new schematic.

His ghost stopped talking and faded away. Cayde-6 stopped and stared with such a stupid look at them. His eyes looked towards the ceiling.

Behind him walked in Eris.

" Alright?! Alright?! I know. I know what your going to say. Never Again, buy food , Popcorn , Ships and...Hunter cloaks with Strange coins" said Cayde

" No. But Yes Cayde. Never again do that. I can't understand why you out of all people." said Zavala

" Say what now? Me? Of All people? Bro. Nothing I do is out of question. Everything I doo. Has a reason" said Cayde

Behind him. Eris slapped his back and walked passed him.

" See? Even Eris understands my methods" said Cayde

" No. I have never understood. Your wicked reasoning for self centered actions. That endanger the worst of the many souls in the glowing home of light" said Eris

Cayde-6 took another step down the steps. His eyes looked at her. At her smile. He was shocked. And completely lost by what she had just said.

Ikora looked at Eris and scratched her head.

" Eris , Honey please your killing me with that...Can't you just say it with short words?" asked Cayde with exhaustion

" No Cayde. Or Cayde your an idiot? I mean its simple hun" said Cayde with his arms waving at her

" At the matter. Cayde. You involved the Guardian Mission. Used it's information. Gave priceless intel on where abouts to an unknown" said Zavala

" I WHHAAAAT?" said Cayde

" Xur. He has been gone for a while now." said Ikora

" His soul along with the lost forgotten two have ventured into the other realm" said Eris

" Eris. You lost me. Again. Ikora. I'm sure they're fine. He's an Xur. Agent of the Nine" said Cayde-6

" What is that supposed to mean?" she asked

Cayde dropped his Hunter Cloak that was in his right hand. Scratching the back of his head.

" He's?!"

" He's?! Not likely to...?!...Die?" guessed aloud Cayde

" If he has died out there. The Galaxy will lose they're only chance of ever reaching the outer world. The only thing we have that is good" said Zavala

" If Xur is dead. Then The Nine will surely arrive here. Searching for him. Questioning us for everything that went wrong" said Ikora

" Come on. I swear Guys. All of you exaggerate about the little things that need less attention. I know him. I know he will do good" said Cayde

" By the means of words. How will he do good? Have you witnessed his actions through peril? Seen his movements throughout pain?" asked Eris

" We really need to work on your talking skills Eris" said Cayde

" Answer the question" said Zavala

The Meeting was interrupted by others. The kind that would show and explain.

Cayde didn't even bother looking back. He could tell by there own faces. He could see them. The two hunters. Walking passed him.

Both had survived the mission. In there own way. They survived and succeeded. Cayde knew he was right. Now he was left with nothing but rights.

Seeing Aria and Malory. Both side by side. Standing determined. Both stood towards the council. Cayde noticed Aria looking back to him.

She nodded and thanked him. Cayde smiled. Taking the moment. To make an epic exit. Cayde walked out. Heading to the outside. Noticing the sun light. Cheering.

Listening to the many thousands of voices. He noticed him.

John Xur.

Standing at the end of the far rail. Passed the Vendors. Pass the Vaults.

Passing the Mail.

At the far end.

John stood balancing on the steel rail.

Behind him the traveler. At bay.

Guardians tossed there Strange Coins into the air.

Awarding him. Celebrating his victory.

His actions. His Courage to Venture into the Hive domain.

Not for Rewards. To Saving the Lives of there own Kind.

Cayde smiled. Raising up his fist into the air. Knowing John did good.

John nodded back to him. John fell back.

Free Falling.

Leaving back to the Nine.

" Knew You Could. Thanks John" said Cayde-6

" Let Me Know How I Did On This"

" I hope Many loved this short , as much as I did!"

" Thanks again for the reads. Read on with my many other stories!"
