Taken but not Forgotten

A break from the chaos

Agony and the other Awoken had spent the day at the Reef, mourning the loss of their queen. When they all returned to the Tower it was late and most guardians were asleep.  Agony was unable to sleep. Her dreams where nightmares filled with Oryx, and death. Agony looked at her sidearm, the one she used when she killed the black heart. The barrel was scorched, the outside was also scorched, the inside of it had melted due to the high temperature. Agony had no idea what she was doing at the time, instinct had kicked it. Agony decided she would take the gun to Banshee, the Exo never slept.

"Late night Guardian?" Banshee asked as she walked towards him.

"No, I just can't sleep. Banshee do you think you could fix my sidearm?" Agony asked shyly.

"It depends on what's wrong with it." Banshee responded.

"It's pretty bad..." Agony mumbled

"I've seen a lot guardian." Banshee said as Agony placed her mangled sidearm onto the table. Agony had never heard such a high pitched and pain filled screech.

"What the hell was that?" Agony yelled

"Why do you think they call me Banshee? Also, how did you manage to do this? I've never seen a gun so malformed, so destroyed." Banshee began as Roach ran over

"Banshee my due, what's going- oh my God what is that thing!" Roach screamed as he saw Agony's sidearm on the table. "Agony what did you do?" 

"Remember that time we fought the black heart and you died?"

"Yes."

"I used this as a golden gun."

"You can't just do that Agony!" Roach and Banshee both scolded harshly.

"I'm sorry but there aren't any gunslingers at the Reef." Agony apologized

"What is wrong with you people?" Roach demanded, by this time both Cayde and Tevis had showed up, Tevis rubbing his eyes and Cayde leading him around so he wouldn't bump into anything.

"Well the light created by the golden gun is very bright, we're not fond of bright lights. So we're bladedancers and nightstalkers, the light is more calming and not so harsh on our eyes." Agony informed them in a whisper.

"Cut her some slack." Cayde said as he walked over and looked at the gun. "Never mind I take it back. Agony what is wrong with you, what did that gun ever do to deserve this?" Tevis walked over and looked at the gun

"Guys it's just a gun." Tevis yawned

"It's not just a gun!" The three Exo's yelled in unison.

"I'll see what I can do with this guardian. I'll also make you a golden gun." Banshee said as he used his hands to shoo everyone away. Cayde and Roach walked away slightly traumatized while Tevis wrapped an arm around Agony trying to make her feel better. The four returned to their rooms.

Roach was unable to sleep, the mangled gun bringing forth nightmares he wished to bury. Cayde was going over his plan for getting onto the dreadnaught in his head. Agony crawled into bed with Tevis. Tevis quickly fell asleep with an arm over Agony to prevent her from leaving. Agony stayed up most of what remained of the night, and fell asleep in the early morning.
