I do not own Destiny or any of the characters.
Temple of the Cunning
Hunter shook his head slowly, forcing himself to remain calm as his fingers traced his rifle's trigger, itching as he and Elsie made their way through the Hive tunnels. They were heading for a hidden temple dedicated to Sathona, Savathûn before the Worm God. However, to get there, they had to pass through Hive Tunnels, and it was making Hunter feel like he was back in the Pit of Heresy. The tunnels were pitch black, except for some pods that would glow brightly if burst, but instead of that, Hunter and Elsie were using their SIVA night vision to find their way through the tunnels. They hadn't met anything alive besides themselves, and arguably the glowing pods, yet, but Fynch assured them they had company. He claimed that Scorn were almost constantly assaulting the temple they were heading for and the Hive were fighting to stop them.
Finally, they reached a chamber where a handful of Hive were beating back an assault by a couple dozen Scorn, rather successfully. However, Hunter and Elsie weren't patient enough to wait and fight one side, so instead, Hunter turned on the Scorn while Elsie winked out of existence and moved to clear the Hive. The fight was short, Hunter using a combination of his Pulse Rifle and knives to rapidly and easily slaughter the Scorn. By the time he had finished, Elsie was walking over to meet him. However, instead of continuing through the tunnel, they turned to a portal off to the side. It was black around the outside, but the inside glowed orange, and it looked to be swarming like a boiling liquid, or like millions of tiny pieces all swarming around each other at once.
"We've been here before, right?" Hunter asked.
"Yeah," Elsie nodded. "This cave system is where we fought that Scorn Walker. The first place Fynch guided us and where Cayde joined us for the first time. It had that giant Scorn with the shield powered by those crystals."
Hunter nodded. "The portal's new."
"Yeah," Elsie nodded. "Shall we?"
"Let's," Hunter nodded.
Both of them walked over to the portal, and Hunter stuck his arm into it, then pulled it back. When it returned unscathed, he shrugged, stepping through the portal, Elsie just behind him. They stepped out of the portal together in front of the same structure they'd visited before. However, rather than entering the facility, the took a path lower on the left, killing any Scorn guarding the path. The Scorn had set up defensive formations all the way along the path, but there were only a handful of Scorn scattered here and there, so Hunter and Elsie didn't even need to slow from a run as they fought them. At least, at first. After a few turns of the path, things got more complicated with more and more Scorn waiting until there were three Chieftains commanding a dozen Scorn each, all of them firing at Hunter and Elsie, forcing them to duck down into cover. Hunter sighed, swapping his rifle for the Joker and a fan of knives.
"Your way," Hunter said.
Elsie grinned, nodding, and both waited for the Scorn's fire to lighten enough for them to slip out. Then, both vanished together, speeding out of their cover and getting clear ahead of the Scorn resuming firing. Then, as one, both of them reappeared, opening fire. Elsie fired a pair of bursts, catching three Scorn Raiders, before vanishing again. Hunter, on the other hand, fired a half-dozen shots into the swarm of Scorn as his free hand hurled a pair of fans of knives, then also vanished again. The Scorn was thrown into chaos instantly, firing in every direction, but as they did, they also spaced out a bit, allowing Elsie and Hunter to sprint through their ranks, slaughtering them with ease. The three Chieftains roared, turning toward where Hunter had been most recently, only for him and Elsie to both appear behind them. A moment later, all three had died, and Elsier dropped into a squat as Hunter spun, the dagger blades stuck to his forearms once again spraying outward in a wave, slaughtering the remaining Scorn.
"That wasn't so bad," Elsie smiled. "Shall we?"
"Let's," Hunter nodded, swapping the Joker for his rifle again.
They continued along the path, finally reaching a bridge above the path, but it was guarded by a swarm of Scorn Ravagers wielding their Flame Censers, Wraiths wielding a pair of Flame Torches, and a pair of Abominations. However, the bridge was uncovered, so Hunter and Elsie were able to stand at a distance and each target an Abomination, killing them within seconds before slaughtering the lesser Scorn as they blindly charged them, none of them making it close.
"So, Fynch," Ikora spoke up as they walked into the tunnel the bridge led to a moment later. "Tell us more about this temple. How do you know it's dedicated to Sathona?"
"I only got a peek inside, but the statue in there looks like her," Fynch answered.
"So, Savathûn built a mausoleum for her younger self, then abandoned it," Ikora mused. "Why?"
Fynch hummed thoughtfully for a moment. "I don't know. Embarrassment? Who isn't a little...ashamed of their past?"
Hunter and Elsie stopped as they reached a dead end, only to stop, both sensing an illusion through their most recent Darkness power. They focused, extending their hands together, and a series of hazy, stone circles appeared on the walls with Savathûn's symbol on their faces.
"Why didn't she upgrade her defenses with the Light?" Ikora asked. "Why haven't the Lucent Hive come to stop the Scorn?"
"That's true," Hunter frowned. "Except for that small group near the portal, there haven't been any this time." He shot a circle experimentally, and it faded. "I'm not sure what that did."
Elsie shrugged, and together they shot all of the circles. As they finished, the wall ahead of them faded, leaving a tunnel in its place. He and Elsie continued, following the path together in silence.
"Oh, maybe it's bait!" Fynch guessed. "Maybe she's luring the Scorn in so she can convert them! Use 'em against the Witness!"
"I highly doubt Savathûn would gamble her throne world for the sake of a few Scorn Brigades," Ikora scoffed.
"Maybe the bait isn't for the Scorn," Spark offered.
"It's possible," Ikora admitted. "It's also possible that Savathûn and the Witness are fighting a turf war. You don't cede ground unless you're losing."
Hunter and Elsie dropped into a chamber with the floor bearing a ring of ground outside, and a pillar in the center, but a ring in between being a pit that glowed with Hive Magic. As they landed in the chamber again, they sensed another anomaly like the dead end before, and used their power, several glowing white scratches, several glowing white footprints, and a single stone disk like before appearing before them. Hunter frowned, looking around, then shot the circle. Something shifted, but nothing changed. He and Elsie began to circle the room, finding more disks.
"I knew it was too easy," Hunter called over to her, shooting a disk.
Elsie shot another. "It's a defense, Hunter. It can't all be the same."
"It would be nice if it was," Hunter grumbled.
Finally, after shooting five scattered disks, a wall vanished, revealing an alcove with one wall crumbling and filled with holes, a light peeking through the holes on the far side. Hunter used a Solar Grenade to smash through the stone, and he and Elsie followed the tunnel. The light was coming from a massive lantern, but they ignored it, following the tunnel in silence. Finally, they reached what looked to be the entrance to the temple just as Scorn appeared around the chamber it occupied in flashes of blue light. Hunter and Elsie both took off in a sprint, firing rapidly and slaughtering anything that moved and wasn't each other. The fight this time only lasted a couple of minutes, and as they finished, a door off to one side opened and they both headed through. However, as they reached the end of the path, Hunter saw just how wrong he'd been.
"So that's the temple Savathûn dedicated to herself," Spark said. "It's..."
They stood at the end of a bridge not unlike those in the Pit of Heresy's lowest chamber, and below them was a truly massive chamber, extending down below a layer of orange-lit fog, stalagmites sticking up from the fog and several broken off stalagmites forming a path into an enormous temple larger than any they'd visited before.
"Fucking massive," Hunter breathed.
"It's quite a sight, isn't it?" Fynch asked. "Can't accuse Savathûn of being too humble."
"You alright?" Elsie asked Hunter.
"It's reminding me of the Pit of Heresy," Hunter said. "Which I ended up blowing up to give the moon a ring. Let's hope that doesn't have to happen here."
Elsie nodded, grinning knowingly, and they dropped off the bridge, using a pulse of Light and Darkness respectively to land lightly on the path to the temple. Almost instantly, it became a grueling, violent slugfest to get closer to the temple with dozens of Scorn guarding the path and minimal amounts of cover. Elsie winked out of sight, and Hunter put his rifle away, once again coating his forearms in dagger blades and charging. He leapt over a barrage of flaming explosive from a Chieftain and hurled a fan of Proximity Mine Knives into him, the knives punching through his Solar shield entirely, then exploded killing him. Several Raiders and Stalkers charged, but he swept his arms outward, a wave of dagger blades raining down on them and slaughtering them before Hunter landed in a roll. As he did, Elsie appeared as she slid past a Wraith, blasting it in the head and killing it, then slid to her feet as she gunned down a group of Stalkers charging her, then vanished, only to appear behind a Chieftain, stabbing a Stasis crystal into his back, freezing him and vanishing again.
Hunter passed the Chieftain and slammed the back of his fist into it, his own Stasis Energy blasting it apart as he hurled a Solar-charged Proximity Mine Knife into a Ravager in the middle of a group, the explosion wiping them all out. Finally, after a couple more minutes, they stopped as they reached the end of the bridge. There was a drawbridge into the temple, but it was raised at the moment, and they couldn't get close enough to look for any other way in to jump to on account of a pair of massive, spiked, swinging lanterns.
"There has to be another path forward," Ikora said. "Use your senses, Guardian. You've gone too far to turn back empty-handed."
"Firstly, not your Guardian," Hunter said. "Secondly, just because I have Spark showing you what we see, doesn't mean that you can give me orders. And thirdly, if there's no path, Elsie and I can fly over. We're not nearly as limited in our options as you are."
"Hey," Elsie said. "There's something over this way."
She led him down to a series of stone platforms on the left side of the bridge where Hunter could also sense an illusion. He waved his hand through the air, clearing the illusion with his power, and once again, several stone disks appeared, two of them on the sides of the platforms below them. They shot them all quickly, and a series of stone pillars formed ahead of them, wrapping around toward the side of the temple. However, as they reached the last, they were still far from the temple, but there was another illusion. This illusion, however, was hiding a series of floating chunks of stone leading to the platform to the side of the drawbridge, though it was only a connecting point for several sections of the bridge.
Scorn greeted them almost instantly, only for them to engage the Scorn in much the same fashion as before, Hunter using his knives and Elsie appearing for no longer than a second at a time, seeming to teleport around the battlefield as she moved through the Scorn, slaughtering any around her each time she appeared and always vanishing before any could react, any that did being killed by a barrage of knives from Hunter.
"Oh, hey hey, before you go in the temple, we should take bets on what this object's gonna be!" Fynch suggested as Hunter drove a dagger into the back of the last Chieftain's head to finish the fight. "Now, I don't technically have any Glimmer, but I do have a pretty solid theory based on what we've found so far-"
"Now's not a good time, Fynch," Ikora interrupted him. "We're already taking a gamble that this thing has the answers we need."
"An effigy of Savathûn's Worm," Hunter said. "You can keep your Glimmer, though. I don't need it."
"Really?" Ikora asked dryly.
"I'm a Hunter and Cayde's my father figure," Hunter snorted. "I love making stupid bets."
"That was a thing even before you were a Guardian," Elsie laughed.
"Valid point," Hunter laughed.
Ikora didn't respond.
"I'm guessing it's some kind of garment Sathona wore when she met her Worm," Elsie guessed.
"I'm with Hunter on this one," Fynch said, sounded excited. "What's the ante?"
"We'll say a hundred units of Glimmer," Hunter said. "And if you and I beat Elsie, you can have my cut."
Fynch cheered. As Hunter and Elsie continued along a broken path of illusions and hidden pillars and chunks of stone, they found that nearly every illusion was one of two kinds. Either it was simply hidden objects that they could use to cross, or it was a set of five stone disks they had to shoot which would then materialize said hidden objects.
"Savathûn's really turning out to be a one-hit wonder, huh?" Hunter asked after what had to be the sixth such illusion.
"It certainly seems that way," Elsie nodded as they reached the next section of drawbridge, once again being greeted by Scorn and once again slaughtering them rapidly. This time, however, there was a Hive Magic Circle on a metal plate in the center of a courtyard that should lower the drawbridge. All they had to do was stand in it long enough for it to activate. But that was exactly the problem, as the process was apparently excessively slow, and the longer they stood there, the more Scorn swarmed them. Both drew their Pulse Rifles as Hunter whistled twice. Instantly, in a flash of silver light, his pet space monster, whatever it was, appeared at his side for the first time since they'd begun to hunt Savathûn. It yipped happily several times, then turned, charging almost playfully into the Scorn. Then, it was ripping them apart, largely literally. As it had when it fought Taken, it passed through a seemingly endless string of transformations and mutations, crushing, biting, clawing, splitting, tearing, flinging, bludgeoning, impaling, and shredding Scorn at a terrifying rate. And while it slaughtered the Scorn on one side of the battlefield, Hunter and Elsie, pulse a small rift over Elsie's shoulder, slaughtered the Scorn on the opposite side. Between the three of them, they were able to hold the lesser Scorn, Screebs, Stalkers, Raiders, Ravagers, and the shield-bearing Lurkers, back. The Wraiths were a bit trickier and got closer, and the Chieftains didn't try to close in, and made it more difficult to pick them off while avoiding their returning fire. However, after a few minutes, once there were five Chieftains hanging back and using cover to their advantage, Elsie and Hunter both formed and hurled a pair of Stasis Sickles at them, sending a pair of Stasis Storms raging through the Scorn, killing all five Chieftains, an Abomination that arrived just as the storm was beginning, and dozens of lesser Scorn.
"You know, after everything we've been through and every time we've massacred their forces, I don't understand how they can still think they can beat us," Elsie commented as Hunter's pet finally returned, dropping a dead Chieftain on the way.
Hunter merely shrugged, scooping up his pet and stroking its head just as the circle around them flashed and the bridge began to descend.
"Finally!" Spark sighed. "Ikora, we're lowering the drawbridge now."
"What are you saying 'finally' about?" Elsie smirked at Spark.
"Well...I...It took a long time is all!" Spark defended himself.
"Relax Little Light," Elsie smiled. "I'm just joking."
Spark sighed heavily. "Don't do that to me."
Elsie and Hunter both chuckled, starting across the bridge. Several Scorn appeared ahead of them, but all died within seconds to Elsie's rifle. A Scorn Chieftain stepped out ahead of them, but Hunter's pet's tail lashed out, reaching almost fifty feet to impale it through the head, then returned to a fluffy little puppy tail as Elsie and Hunter walked calmly past the Chieftain.
"That thing's a bit...overly dangerous, don't you think?" Spark asked.
"Nope," Hunter said. "I love it."
"Same," Elsie smiled. "I wonder what it is."
A pair of Abominations stepped out ahead of them, only for Hunter to form a Golden Gun, blasting them both and killing them, then let the gun fade. A bridge appeared ahead of them in increments and they followed it, the bridge also vanishing behind them, but as they reached the statue of Sathona, it was only that. A statue of Sathona holding her infant Worm God.
"Hunter, Elsie, have you found the statue yet?" Ikora asked. "Is there anything else there?"
"We found the statue," Hunter said. "But the only other thing is that the statue is holding a Worm God baby. Worm God grub? Grub God?"
He looked to Elsie, who shrugged, grinning at how similar to Cayde he seemed.
"What!?" Fynch asked. "There's gotta be more than that!"
"There's nothing," Hunter repeated.
However, he stopped as a door ahead of them began to grind open and Scorn began to appear around them as a massive one charged from the door. He and Elsie took off at a run instantly, slaughtering the smaller Scorn that had warped themselves in, all the while peppering the Scorn Warden, in essence an Baron, with bullets near-uselessly. It was an oversized Raider, and while it wasn't anything exceedingly deadly, it was annoyingly durable, and it was hard to focus on it when no less than a dozen Chieftains were running around firing explosives. Even with Hunter's pet helping, there was still very little room to maneuver or fight back.
"Alright, this is starting to piss me off!" Hunter shouted over the explosions as he fired a burst at a Chieftain, only to have to dive for cover a moment later.
"Same!" Elsie called back from where she was in cover allowing her SIVA to regenerate a gash in her side. "Remember when we had to get to Mara's throne?"
Hunter nodded, then leapt out of cover, shimmering with Void Energy. The Scorn all roared instantly, firing up at him, but before they could adjust their aim appropriately, Hunter's SIVA had formed a Black Talon and he was raining great arcs of explosive Void Light down on them. Within seconds, he'd disrupted their attempts to shoot him, killing two of the twelve, and the rest were distracted enough that when Elsie finally returned to fighting, it took them a moment to realize she was there, thanks in no small part to her cloaking technology. Finally, the last of the Scorn Chieftains were dead, and Hunter hurled the Black Talon at the Warden, only for it to dive out of the way, avoiding it. However, as it rolled to its feet, it found Hunter and Elsie both waiting with their Hand Cannons, and a moment later, its head had been blasted apart.
"Finished," Hunter sighed. "I fucking hate Scorn."
"You hate everything," Elsie laughed, kissing him on the cheek.
Hunter rolled his eyes, catching his pet as it leapt excitedly into his arms.
"Ikora, I'm sorry, but...it doesn't look like there's anything here but the statue," Spark reported.
"Fynch?" Ikora asked. "Please don't tell me they did all this for nothing."
"No, no!" Fynch defended himself hastily. "There's something there! I swear!"
"He's right" Hunter said, feeling his newest Darkness power stir as he stared at the statue. "The statue itself...or at least part of it...is the object we're looking for." He waved his arm slowly toward the statue, and the tiny Worm God, roughly the size of an infant, began to shimmer slightly.
"You two were right," Elsie nodded. "It's the Worm God."
"What?" Fynch asked. "Oh! The bet! Hah! I told you there was something there!"
"One problem," Elsie said, frowning. The statue is protected by a Hive Magic barrier."
"There has to be a way to bring it down," Ikora said. "Look around."
Hunter and Elsie complied, using their power experimentally, and Hunter groaned in annoyance as five stone disks appeared scattered throughout the room. Five shots later, a series of hidden platforms appeared, leading up a pair of pillars on the left.
"I'm telling you, Savathûn's either trying to be annoying, or she's the least creative person I've ever met," Hunter complained as they ascended the platforms. "And I've met Saint, who's only strategy involves blowing things up."
Elsie laughed as they reached the highest platform, using their power to reveal several more stone disks, this time hovering along the face of the barrier in a vertical line. And just like that, they'd lowered the barrier and retrieved the Worm God statue from Sathona. Except, just as they did, there was a deep, unsettling voice just before an Ahamkara appeared in front of their exit. Hunter swore harshly, grabbing Elsie and all but hurling himself aside, using his Void Light to turn them both intangible as he did, and a flood of Taken Energy blasts flashed past, passing through them before they slammed into the ground and bounced into cover.
"But...that's impossible!" Spark said. "That's an Ahamkara!"
"What?" Ikora gasped.
Hunter readied his Pulse Rifle. "It's smaller than Riven, at least."
"I knew it!" Fynch said. "I knew the Ahamkara weren't gone! I knew there was one left! At least one!"
"Not about to be" Hunter growled, sprinting across the temple as he fired at the Ahamkara's mouth, Elsie doing the same from where she was.
"The last one died cursing the Dreaming City!" Ikora said.
"Firstly, she didn't die!" Hunter shouted over a wave of Taken Energy explosion. "Secondly, evidently fucking not!" He leaned out, firing several dozen shots into the Ahamkara's mouth, filling it with SIVA drones that began to burrow into it and explode further in. "A little help would be nice!"
"This has to be another illusion!" Ikora argued.
A blast hit Hunter's rifle, blasting it, his left arm, and his right forearm into dust. Hunter shrieked in pain, staggering back into cover.
"Real or an illusion, it's a fucking problem!" Hunter shouted as his arms regenerated and he reformed his rifle. "Now get us some fucking backup!"
Just then, the Ahamkara shrieked in pain as Elsie managed to shoot out two of its eyes and retreated into the Darkness Barrier surrounding them in a dome. At the same time, a dozen-odd Scorn began to appear, many of them Screebs, one of them a Chieftain, and the rest either Raiders or Stalkers. Hunter growled in annoyance, detonating all of the Screebs before sending his pet to slaughter the rest, only to call it back a moment later as the Ahamkara returned. He didn't want to risk his pet against that thing.
"We can't get to you!" Cayde said. "That illusion's barrier is blocking transmat signals!"
Hunter swore, then stepped out as he formed a bladed Arc Staff, hurling it like a spear into the Ahamkara's mouth. It shrieked in pain as bolts of lightning began to flash down through the top of the barrier, though damaging it, and slam into the spear, being transferred to the Ahamkara with evidently very painful effect. And while this was happening, Hunter and Elsie were filling its mouth with as many bullets as they could manage.
"The Hive Magic powering that illusion is limited," Ikora spoke up as the Ahamkara retreated again. "If you escape, it can't follow."
"No chance of that," Spark said as Hunter and Elsie began to once again slaughter Scorn as they warped into the impromptu arena. "Exit's completely blocked. But these Scorn must have come from somewhere."
As the Ahamkara returned again, Hunter snarled angrily, stepping out from cover. "Enough of this!"
Solar Light shone before him, taking shape into a weapon, but not a Hand Cannon or knives as he usually formed. This time, it was an artillery cannon, one that would fire a bullet the size of Hunter's entire body, and which, when he slammed his foot down on the trigger pad, did exactly that. Elsie swore, ducking into cover just ahead of the resulting explosion. The shot had struck the Ahamkara directly in the mouth, but the explosion, while successfully blasting the Ahamkara into oblivion and clearing the illusion around them, also decimated the entire temple, leaving it a scorched, obliterated ruin and charring both Hunter and Elsie, though Spark and Elsie's Pouka healed and revived them both within seconds.
"Don't ever do that again," Spark said seriously.
"Sorry," Hunter groaned. "I wasn't expecting it to be so...dramatic." He looked over at Elsie. "You okay?"
Elsie nodded. "At least you didn't combine that with Azidoazide Azide."
Hunter laughed. "Next time, I promise."
Elsie shook her head, smiling, then looked around. "Where's our little monster?"
Hunter frowned, looking around as well, only for a waving, fluid, silver tendril to emerge from the rubble off to one side, flail for a moment, then snap free of the stone and transform back into Hunter's pet, yipping happily and running over to him. Hunter laughed, scooping him up.
"Best pet ever," Hunter grinned. His smile dropped as the ground lurched, then rumbled. He looked up, then groaned. "The caves are collapsing."
"Oh, shit!" Elsie swore. "Which way?"
Hunter looked around, then waved a hand, revealing a path up and to a doorway off to the side. Without needing to discuss it, they both sprinted up the shimmering, broken staircase, Hunter's pet charging ahead as he and Elsie readied their rifles. At the top of the stairs were a pair of Scorn guarding several Pikes, but Hunter's pet killed both, and Hunter and Elsie both grabbed a Pike and took off, racing along a winding stone path with Hunter's pet running alongside them as some form of lean, quadrupedal animal.. Even as they drove, Hunter swore, feeling Darkness choking him, able to tell from Elsie's expression that she felt the same. The Ahamkara had cursed them. They were suffocating. They had to get away from the temple where the Hive Magic wouldn't affect them anymore.
The path they were on looped back around to a broken fridge that they hit like a jump, landing on the drawbridge again, and began to race along it. Scorn swarmed toward them from the opposite end, but were met with a flood of Arc blasts from the Pikes, clearing Hunter and Elsie's way easily. Past where they'd landed, there was a tunnel system that began to wind its way back up toward the surface. More Scorn waited for them here, but between their Pikes' guns and Hunter's pet, they didn't have to slow at all. Then, finally, they reached a Hive Magic gravity lift and rode it up, feeling the curse's grip on them fade as they reached the top. Both fell to their knees, gasping and panting for breath just as Ikora called them again.
"Ghost? Guardian? Elsie?" Ikora called out to them. "Come in. Are you there?"
"We're here, Ikora," Spark assured them, allowing Hunter and Elsie to catch their breath. "We're on our way to the surface now."
"You got the object, right?" Fynch asked. "Otherwise this was all a HUGE waste of time!"
"We got it," Spark said dryly. "Thanks for the concern, Fynch."
"Phew!" Fynch sighed. "Well...I-I never...doubted you for a second. Ikora was worried, but I knew you two could handle that Ahamkara. Wasn't even a real one! Heh..."
"Sure you did," Hunter said, pushing himself up and helping Elsie to her feet. "And just because the Ahamkara was an illusion, didn't make it any less deadly."
"The danger was real," Ikora agreed. "I never should have sent my Guardian in on such shaky intel. Even if it was our only lead."
"How many times do I have to say I'm not your fucking Guardian before you understand?" Hunter growled. "Your decisions led us here, Ikora, and no matter how many times you claim me as yours, I'm not. I'm not your Guardian. I am a Blademaster, and I am a freelance Lightbearer. The only one who I answer to outside of the Blademasters is Cayde, and on occasion Shiro. You have no authority over me."
Ikora sighed heavily. "Be that as it may, you are still an ally, and I dislike risking lives for no reason."
"Thanatonaut," Hunter countered.
"That...was a long time ago, and not without reason," Ikora defended herself.
"Right," Hunter scoffed. "Letting yourself be killed just for a feeling of euphoria and some supposed visions. You're right. Great reasoning."
"I'm not going to argue this with you, Hunter," Ikora said. "Unlock the Worm's memory."
"Nah, I think I'll just eat this piece of rock for dinner instead," Hunter said sarcastically.
Ikora didn't respond, and Hunter narrowed his eyes, beginning to try and calm himself as he and Elsie headed for the altar to view the Worm's hidden memory.
