Crow watched over the moving fortress Caiatl's Cabal had deployed on Nessus from a cliff. It hadn't moved in days, with only a few Cabal soldiers moving in or out of it. Something felt different about the Cabal, they seemed out of place, either clumsy or in a different state of mind. It was no doubt Savathun, with whatever she was planning or doing.

"This is getting kind of boring." Glint said to Crow.

"I have to do what Osiris says, Glint." Crow replied. 

Crow sat down and opened a box of saltines. He looked around to make sure he was in complete privacy and took his mask off to have a snack. 

As Crow ate, he felt a presence watching him the whole time. Was it the Darkness? Savathun? Or a- 

A sniper shot rang out. The bullet landing through Crow's shoulder. Crow quickly turned around to find a figure aiming at him from around 200 meters away. The man then stood up, and seemed to disappear. 

"Glint! Where is he?" Crow pulled out Hawkmoon. 

"I..don't know! He's disappeared." Glint replied in a panicked voice. 

Crow was then tackled by the figure. Crow then got a good look at the man. He was a Hunter from his looks, and he looked like some kind of professional, but clearly had a dark vibe to him. 

"Who are you?" Crow kicked off the Hunter. 

"A Snake." The Hunter disappeared once again, this time leaving a grenade on the ground. Crow dove away from the grenade, but was flown off of the cliff he was on from the blast. 

Crow landed on the ground, next to him was the Hunter. The Hunter walked up to him and pointed The First Curse at Crow's head. 

"How did you find that?" Crow asked. 

"Tell me where Mazora-7 is. Or that mask will mark your grave." 

Glint appeared to run to safety, but was grabbed by the Hunter. 

"Glint!" Crow began to panic. 

The Hunter grabbed Crow's arm and shoved his knife through Crow's arm into a cliffside, pinning him. 

"A Ghost." The Hunter examined Glint's shell. 

"Let him go!" 

The Hunter put First Curse up to Glint. 

"Where is he!?" The Hunter demanded. 

Crow hesitated. If he told this Hunter where Mazora was, things could get bad. But if he didn't speak, Glint would die. 

"Tell me! Or I'll break this Ghost open!" 

Crow began to hyperventilate. 

"Kill me then. Just let him go." Crow yelled out. 

"So be it." The Hunter approached Crow and aimed First Curse, just as he did though, Crow grabbed the Hunter by the head and headbutted him. The Hunter fell back, with Crow now aiming First Curse at him. 

Crow just sat there, not knowing what to do.

"What are you doing? Do it!" The Hunter demanded. 

Crow couldn't bring himself to hurt an unarmed man, so he threw the gun down. 

"You spared me?" The Hunter stood up. 

"yes."

"Pathetic." The Hunter pulled out his knife from Crow's arm, and jammed it into Crow's neck. Crow fell to his knees, holding his neck. 

"This is your last chance." The Hunter held the knife up to Glint's eye. 

"He's at the Last City, where everyone is. How did you not know that?" Crow could barely fell anything. 

"Oh I already knew. I just wanted to kill everyone he cares about. Then watch him fall into madness." The Hunter stood up and shoved the knife into Glint's shell, killing him. 

Crow couldn't speak, but let out a yell, before falling down. 

"If you live to tell the tale, tell em Cobra sent you." Cobra disappeared once more, leaving Crow to die with Glint's shell.
