Oryx, the Lucent King (A Destiny Story)

Chapter 10 "The Sanctum" (FINALE)

A/N: Hey there readers! Welcome to the final chapter of Oryx, the Lucent King! Like I said before in Chapter 9, this isn't exactly the end of the story as I plan on making an epilogue chapter. But what a journey we've been through in this book. This has been fun to write and beware, if you liked the guardians throughout the book then be ready as they'll be getting rekt by Oryx.

Oryx was bound to win guys, he'd been getting tithes constantly so he is definitely strong enough to take those guardians on. The battle between the two forces will be pretty cool, mostly around one scene that I think it's really awesome and a neat call out to the Destiny Kings Fall raid. Also this chapter is over 10k words long. Making this the longest chapter in the entire book, which is very fitting as this is the end.

So I hope you guys enjoy this chapter and the crazy battle that will come!

Recap: For the now trapped guardians stuck close to the Apothecary, they would have to survive and hide from Hive Enforcer's that patrolled the territory. With many close calls as Khan would have to use her powers of Strand to weave and hide herself and an unconscious Juliana-10 from danger.

They would eventually be found by Helton who was sent forward by Khan in order to find a way up to the Lucent King. There would be a way however the chamber itself would be questioned later as Juliana woke up from her slumber. Together they would reach the chamber that held a staircase leading up. They would be unaware of a stalking Ecthar who had purposefully led them into the very chamber they are now in.

With Ecthar starting a gauntlet-like room in order to buy Oryx some time to learn more about a gift he had unknowingly received from the Witch Queen. For Oryx, he would be recommended by his shield to learn more about the gift as he traveled to meet up with Šimmumah in a nearby cave entrance near the Mausoleum of Personage. There they would discover that the gift was a Hive ship, called the Ark.

As Oryx entered the ship, he would encounter an experiment of Savathûn. A mindless Hive Knight that was the result of experiments Savathûn had conducted on Titan long ago, it had the power to cause Lightbearers to 'bleed' out their Light as it was made to counter them. The creature would find Oryx hostile as the two soon clashed while Hive Enforcers that had been with Oryx when entering the ship would be ordered to watch the battle.

The battle would end fairly quickly as Oryx killed the creature with relative ease, with feelings of disappointment and hope that his eventual battles with the guardians would be much more entertaining. Oryx had claimed the ship called the Ark before leaving it to order Šimmumah about the next steps of his overall plan.

The Hive God would tell the Necromancer to begin moving all his experiments and everything the brood needs to its eventual departure from the Throne World. Oryx was ready to kill the Guardians now getting close to the Sanctum, with the idea that once he did gain his old strength from them, he would start the process of reclaiming his old Throne World, the Dreadnaught...
