The Flame of Despair

Gentle sparks

JULY 24th

Cayde sat in his office. It's was early even for the other guardians, but that didn't stop him from doing his work. "Ace, when is the next Vex ritual?" The Vanguard hall fell silent for a couple minute. Cayde stood patiently as he waited for his ghost to give an answer.
"The next ritual is 10 year from now." The room fell quiet again,this time longer than before.
Cayde sat on the edge of the long hall table. He bowed his head as he closed his eyes. "Ace, call in the hunter from team Falcon. I have a mission for him and his team."

A hunter dressed in black had walked in just about five minute after the announcement was made. His dark brown hair cover his left eye as he stepped closer towards Cayde, "So what is it this time? Lost a bet, did Ryan leave another ship, or did something get taken from you again?"
Cayde started to laugh. He hadn't moved from where he sat, "Listen kiddo we have to fix a tiny mistake that Ryan and his team had made."
The hunter smiled when Cayde said Ryan's name. Seeing him slowly become a leader made him happy. "So explain to me why I can't talk to him right now?"
Cayde laughed, "Oh it's very confusing my friend. Let's just say things will go bad if he found out."
He looked around the hall then cleared his throat, "Is this a solo mission or is Luna and cliff tagging along as well?"
Cayde stretched his arms up, "It's a team effort, take care of them please. I'll send the details to your ship. Do not tell anyone other than your team about what you're doing. Once you're done with the mission you must never speak of it."
The hunter in black smiled and slid his helmet on giving Cayde a slight nod as he walked towards the exit, "No promises C-man."
Cayde stood up, "Oh wait a sec Blackout, you have a package that you should pick up."
He gave another nod, "Oh you're too kind Cayde. What do you want from me this time, you're already my favorite Exo."
Cayde laughed, "Hey, Damn straight, it's just a little something to help you with some of your questions."
The hunter waved as he walked out, "You're always looking out for me."
Cayde watched him as he walked away, "man his life is screwed up." He gave a small laugh which died off, "I wonder who his mother is?"

Ryan slowly pulled himself off of floor. His body burned from it, "Ah god, you'll think I would be use to it by now." He walked passed sense who was looking off to the abandon city again. "Hey sense, gonna hop in the shower."
Sense snaps out of his flashback of Ben, "Oh hey, uh sure okay. Don't be too long sonar hates waiting for you to finish."
Sonar flinched as her name was mentioned. She slowly opened her eyes. She give a long stretch to wake her tired body, "huh did someone say something?"
Sense turns towards the tire hunter, "No it's nothing, just telling Ryan to hurry up."
She smiles then tosses the blankets off. Causing sense to instantly turn away, "What are you doing child? Don't you have pajamas?"
Sonar crosses her arms in frustration, "You know, I don't. I don't bother getting pajamas mainly because I haven't had a nice place to use them in!"
Sense lowers towards the floor feeling bad for what he had said, "Still doesn't change the fact that you're sleeping in a teenage boys room!"
Sonar laughed as she equips her armor on, "Relax, we are all just friends anyway." She fell quiet as she looked at the empty couch.
Sense turn towards her then at the couch, " I've heard stories of the Vex. They are dangerous creatures. They have the power to make us forget."
Sonar looked at Eclipse's helmet that rested on a long wooden shelf, "No they have the power to alter realities. They can eliminate us from existence."
Both sense and sonar stared at what was left of Eclipse.
A couple minutes later Ryan had walked out of the bathroom. Without a word he walked into the kitchen. His Warlock rob shifted as he walked around in a hurry.
Sense hovered in the main room, "Where are you going Ryan?" His parts spun as he watched the young Warlock dart around.
"I need to ask Cayde something. It's about Eclipse." Ryan quickly ran out the door.
Sonar fell back to the bed, "He never gives up."
Sense stared at the closed door, " Yeah, that's what I like about him. He's always filled with hope."
Sonar closed her eyes as she smiled, "I like that about him too."
