A/N: I don't own destiny all rights go to bungie
I also know you don't enter the crypt in the raid but just pretend you do for this story

Jason POV

Jason: "what the hell is a 'Deep stone crypt'?"

Eramis has called a meeting of all her baron lieutenants and me for some crypt. We're all currently in a long rectangular table in it with a hologram of what looks like a vault door on it.

Eramis:" We don't know much but we've been seeking its knowledge inside of it but we've only hit dead ends"

Praksis :" And yesterday we've gotten a strange signal from inside the crypt"

Jason:" what do we do?"

Phylaks:" I say we send a couple squads of Eliksni inside"

Eramis:" No, to dangerous we don't know what's inside and I'm not going to risk that may lives"

Kridis:" Can we survey inside from above ground?"

Eramis:" That won't work the crypt has a field surrounding it that disrupts scanners"

Jason:" I could go"

Eramis:" you could what?"

Jason:"  I'd you don't want to send a lot of Eliksni you could just send me and I explore and report back. I have some experience with exploring vaults and stuff like that"

Eramis:" That could work... anyone have any objections"

No one speaks

Eramis:" it's settled then, Jorviks you will endure the Deep Stone Crypt and report back to us. Dismissed"

All:"Yes my kell"

They all leave just leaving me and Eramis I walk up to her and she looks down at me.

Eramis:" Will you be okay?"

Jason:" I promise I'll return to you in one piece"

Eramis:" You must keep your word"

Her voice is almost pleading which is strange. I don't like seeing her dad so I decide to help out with that. I grab her bottom hands and I squeeze them. She looks down at them and then gets on a knee to be eye level with me.

I grab the sides of her head and I rest my forehead against hers. I see her eyes close and her breathing slows down a bit.

Jason:" I won't get hurt, I promise with every strength I have I will not leave you my love"

Eramis:"...okay"

She wraps her bottom set of arms around my back and pulls me against her. Her upper set of hands hood the sides of my helmet and continue to hold me.

Eramis:" I just have a bad feeling that you'll be hurt, I can't explain it I don't want that to happen I want you to live"

Jason:" It's just worry, and it means that you care someone deeply enough to feel it. I'll be okay  Eramis I promise"

Eramis:" I believe you"

We hold onto each other for a bit longer until she lets go and gets back tak on her two legs.

Eramis:" Alert Atraks-1 when your ready for your departure then, she'll accompany you"

Jason:" Okay I guess I'll see you later, love you"

Eramis:" love you to"

I walk away towards the skiff yard beside the house entrance. I arrive there in about 5 minutes and I decide to alert Atraks that I'm ready.

Jason:" Atraks you ready?"

Atraks-1:" Yes, head to these coordinates and I'll meet you there"

Jason:" Got it, see you soon"

I hop on my sparrow and I start to drive my way towards the Crypt. It's not that far from Riis-Reborn which is lucky so I don't have to drive for long.

I arrive at the coordinates and I see Atraks-1 standing next to a giant circular door. She sees me and actives the door opening it up.

Atraks-1: "Follow me"

I nod and we both enter the crypt and are met with a giant field of ice. Atraks pulls out a disc looking thing and she puts it on the ground.

Atraks-1: " This will teleport us as close as we can to the power signature"

Jason:" easy enough"

Atraks-1: "step inside"

We both step inside and are teleported to a room with what looks like a giant pod and a giant computer next to it.

Jason:" Is that the power signature?"

Atraks-1:" Possibly... I'll check the console to make sure"

The fallen Exo then begins to type away at the console and I'm just left to stare at the giant pod in the middle. I haven't seen anything like it and I don't understand why it's even here. I then here Atraks start to mutter something in Eliksni before she finally activates the console.

Atraks-1:" whatever signals we were getting is from inside here, stay alert Jorviks be prepared if trouble arrives"

The pod opens up from the sides and the tops to reveal something unexpected, an Eliksni is inside of it. Atraks-1 walks up to them to make sure there still alive and they then start to wake up.

Mystery Eliksni:"What happened, where are we?"

Atraks-1:" We've opened this pod you em we're incased in, I am Atraks-1 of the House of Salvation"

As I'm watching him I can't help but feel a weight of worry begin to rise up in me. This Eliksni has a very familiar presence and look to them that I can't shake the feeling of. He just looks... familiar

Mystery Eliksni:" yes yes, a new house... a new planet we are on, all new to Taniks"

Wait a minute, did he just......... oh no. Why'd it have to be you.

How many times have I had to kill you!!

Taniks:" We?"

Taniks then looks behind Atraks and finally notices me. I realize I'm in completely different attire now so I don't shave to worry about a fight now.He looks me over before his eyes stumble upon my hip holster. He then starts to growl and his orange eyes start to glow a bit. I realize something... im carrying the weapon I killed him with in my hip. I have my Erianas Vow on my holster and he seems to have remembered it.

This is not good at all

To be continued

A/N: hope you enjoyed this chapter. I wanted to have Taniks in this story just because of how resilient he is and how many times we have to kill him. I know we don't actually enter the crypt in the raid but just suspend belief for this part okay. Until next chapter peace.
