Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Dusk's Rise. Enjoy the 2300-word chapter. I do not own Destiny, Bungie, and Microsoft do.
(Titan)
Eramis was silent, very silent… She could tell the House of Dusk was different, they had been too much of a factor when it came down to it now.
Eramis looked at Sam, not knowing what the new Kell would decide. She snorted… Both groups controlled so much and it was clear physical strength was meaningless.
Raksil glared at the Salvation Kell, knowing she wished to control their empire… But it was not hers to rule alone.
"You of all people should know the rules, Eramis… A warrior who slays the kell shall become the kell…. Sam has slain the house of Winter Kell… Now House of Winter is part of House Dusk." Raksil stated.
"When did you of all warriors care about our edicts?" Eramis asked, raising an eyebrow with confusion at the time being.
"What I am and what you are is not a concern," Raksil stated, frowning. "You will not be Kell of Kells… No House has ruled the Eliksni." Raksil stated, crossing his arms.
Raksil frowned as he realized she was still above him. Archons were a large figure within a house… But they were only second in command of such a thing.
Raksil knew Sam also had little idea where to be as the head of House Dusk…. So much had transpired since then, it had been something to fall now when it comes down.
Sam looked at both Raksil and Breviks before he sighed, leaning back in his seat. He did not once did not know when it was done now when it was all said and done, the idea of something like this was beyond him.
He was tired, too tired at the end of the time being, all too much to figure it out as he paused.
Each step the little soldier made towards them was silent. They marched side by side towards where they had to figure it out now and for good reason.
He of all people was eager to figure something out, they had been too thrown off… Far too thrown off and both as leaders were fascinated with them for it now.
He had been eager to think of what was being done now and for good reason…. Each little reason was growing on their mind, it was clear that something was going to be breaking into pieces… Each little idea they tossed this way was eager to figure it out now and for good reason.
Sam sighed and shook his head, thinking each little second of the day was making it harder and harder to think, to act… He of all people was thrown off now… They had a lot of things to deal with.
Even with all the resources, the ideas that he held onto his mind were going to need to be decent enough to have carved a path ahead and through the blinding snow in their path.
She and he were both quiet when it came down to it. He had been through the wringer when it came down to it for now and for good reason.
Sam was silent as a Kell, he knew a lot about how they acted and how to take one down now, such things would be harder and harder.
Sam was silent, too silent as he paused, thinking for now at the time being when it came crashing to the ground now and for good… He had very little idea as of now… All of it was going to be over for now.
Sam was utterly able to think of what was growing on his mind…. He had been able to go done and dusted when it came down to it.
Eramis was silent, too eager to figure it out, and for good reason…. All of it needed to end for now.
She had been through the wringer, too much had been done for now…. It had hit them now and for good reason at the time being.
Eramis was not willing to risk war, not with their people in such a way. She had been able to think of it all when it came crashing down now.
She was figuring it out now and for good reason. She could not be able to think of what was happening, she would be eager to deal with her own House.
Salvation? They were still standing and they were still strong enough to exist even if they were risking destruction… All of it? All of it hurt now… All of it would be too much for now when Eramis was able to grasp it.
She did not want to grow to accept it…. She would let it come crashing down now. She and he both knew what was going on now.
Eramis was eager to figure it out now and for good reason. There was a lot more to this, something that had to be done when it was all said and done when it was all over.
He had been too over and over it when it was done when it was all decided, he was too eager to figure it out now, knowing what would be done for now.
He sighed, pausing to himself…. He had paused to himself, too distracted, either way, he had no idea of what they would do now before it came crashing downwards.
He was figuring it out now and was eager to think of what was ending for now at the time… All of it fell to the wayside… All of it seemed to be done with it as he wished to figure it out now when it was all said and done.
All of it ended sooner or later.
"A human as Kell," Eramis stated before Sam paused to think of what was growing on his mind before now.
Sam looked at the House of Salvation Kell. He knew more and more that she was better suited for such an issue than him.
However? Here he was too interested in what was happening now at the time being.
"I am just as confused as you are, lady," Sam stated before he looked to the side as he thought once more.
Sam tapped his fingers on his arms as the group of Dusk soldiers tightened their formation, preparing for combat with her if she did something now.
"You have broken the sacred rule," Raksil stated as he clenched his fist. "The Whirlwind… You use it, you use something that we have outlawed, yet you expect to be Kell of Kells?" Raksil stated before he clenched his fist at the Kell.
Raksil watched as Eramis rolled her good eyes, she knew damn well what they balked at her for. She growled, standing up as the Kell walked towards the Archon.
"And you would seat a human on your throne? We have lost thousands to the battle of Twilight Gap…. And you would consider one equal to us?" Eramis asked, hissing the words out of her mask.
She was too interested in her problems to deal with Dusk's…. But Dusk also held an empire, many of their people were made up of the other houses and were united by survival.
"Right of combat determines Kell, Sam has defeated 2," Raksil stated.
"And?" Eramis asked to which Raksil shook his head and then thought of their next movement.
She was silent, knowing that her friend was too much for now as he wished to go forward. Eramis was eager to push him into the end of it all when all had come to it.
Sam for his part watched both argue, reclining on his throne as he wished to understand. He had a lot of things before now, he had a lot more to aspire to…. All of them were harder and harder to figure out now when it came crashing downwards.
Sam did know that it was going to be harder and harder to deal with. All of it was politics that he had to deal with now that he was part of it.
He had been tossed back and forth, back, and forth through the waves and he had such ideas on his mind that none of them had thought of it now when it was coming crashing down to it.
He had been too tired, too much to figure out now had flashed over his eyes, not once did he wish to grasp it at the end of the day.
All of it was odd, all of it was too much, way too much had been done to figure it out, and he? He was no kell, no good leader… But now he guessed he was thrust into the position.
Very odd for him if he was honest. They had issues when it came crashing to the ground, it would all be done and dusted as of now. Sam sighed and he shook his head before he thought of what was growing for now.
Eramis now thought of herself before she looked to the side as she clicked it once more and for good reason at the time being. She hummed, reclining on her throne as she thought of what Sam could be thinking of it.
Sam hummed before he thought once more as she wished to grasp it now for now when it came down for now.
"We have bigger things to deal with besides rivals. We have a lot more to try and figure out…. Now? Now? This will end up being put on hold, the more oddities we try and handle. The more we will have to handle." Eramis heard as she sighed.
She had once more thought of how Salvation would come and think of it now, all of it? All of it seemed to be done and dusted, they had more and more problems with it all in such haste.
Eramis looked to Sam, looking over at him as she smirked, watching it seem to understand when it came crashing down once more before she slammed her fingers together before she pondered it once more.
Eramis was eager to think of what was happening now more and more with each little message. She wished to think of it now and for good motive when it was all said and done.
She also guessed that Sam had ZERO idea how it would have been if he was a Kell. Zero idea and yet? She knew more and more that each idea would come crashing to the ground.
They held onto more and more and more at the end of the day, something that needed to be decided now and for good reason… Something about it all came crashing down now.
She did not know what Sam intended to do… But she did know the House of Salvation would need more resources, their people? They must survive in one manner or another.
She did not wish to think of it but they needed to raid again. The Eliksni would need to fight and that meant putting many of her men in harm, so many soldiers had already died.
"I request a truce," Eramis stated, making the others all look over at her.
"Why?" Sam and Raksil asked before Eramis snorted.
"I plan to aid our people…. Fighting another civil war was something that would weaken our people." Eramis stated before she looked over at Sam. "You and I BOTH need to deal with being leaders of half our people. The House of Dusk is made from hundreds and hundreds of Eliksni. You?" Eramis stated before he sighed.
She had been tired of trying to think of it now when it came crashing to the ground. They held onto a LOT more than before, a LOT more to this now, and for good reason.
(20 minutes later)
A series of skiffs that slowly descended onto the surface of Mars was offset by 20 dregs from House Dusk and 10 House Salvation Vandals.
"So, you planned to invade this place… This entire planet is patrolled by the cabal, you know." Sam stated as Eramis snorted.
"The first rule of things is to go get supplies… If you wish to be a kell? You provide for the men under your command." Sam heard.
"Fine…. You go take your stuff; I got a vault I am cracking." Sam stated before he sighed.
Eramis said nothing as Sam drew his weapon from his hip, reminded that all of it was hard enough to identify what his goal was…
They had a LOT more to do and she? She could tell that their little partnership was the only thing keeping the fallen together when it came down to it.
Still? It amused her that both had been enemies and now? They were busy leading a raid. If anything? The irony was not lost on her but it would continue for now.
She did not know what would become of their partnership. Yet? She had further and further plans now.
Eramis chittered to her soldiers, motioning them towards the supply trove they had to find…. Each little moment? Each little idea.
She was tired, now? Now it had to end for the moment, they had a LOT more to this than before… And she had outgrown such a thing.
Well, she had not once tried her best to think of what he would do… Only once did he submit to it now and for good reason.
Though? He had a good reason too. He knew more and more that each little twist and turn he had tried with her was going on now.
He had been eager to think of it as a game… She? She saw this as the last resort of her people as they slowly began to crumble into the vapid void.
