The Fate of Hades

Chapter 2: Everyone gets a partner at some point

I finally make it to the tower where I find the speaker waiting for me. Duh. Hes probably gonna explain the ghosts and whatnot. Bro I already know this just tell me why I'm here in person. I think as I walk up to him.

"Hades. Ive been expecting you. Allow me to intorduce myself and explain some things," I bloody called it.

"Listen speaker. I ain't got time for your riddles aight? I'm not from here. I came from the outside world. So unless what youre explaining is why the Hell ive been sucked in here, I dont want to hear it," I snap before he can finish his tutorial b.s.. Instead of being angry he seems confused.

"Perhaps Ikora will know what happened. You should meet with her and see. There could be a benefit to my not knowing. For once," and with a sly grin, he sends me toward the vanguard.

As I climb down the stairs, I notice a lack of other people in the area. Either they havent loaded in yet, this is partly because of the tutorial, or because I'm messing with the game since I'm not supposed to be in it. I find the vanguard and approach quickly. I almost trip over the table corner but a pair of strong arms prevents me from falling. I look to see who I owe, but his helmet was enebled in public zones. C'mon man why you gotta do that...? But I nod my head in thanks nonetheless. He turns back to Zavala and I to Ikora.

"Excuse me. Yes... I need to speak with you. Its about my... Story progress. To say the least. Heh." I give a sheepish smile and she leads me over to a secluded spot.

"What is it young warlock?" She inquires.

"Uh well thats the thing. I'm not a-"

"Then why must you speak with me if you are level 2?" She almost walks away but I grab her sleeve.

"I'm not a warlock, titan or hunter ok? Look, the speaker sent me to you because I dont belong here. I'm from the outside. I need help understanding why I've been summoned. Think you can help me out?" I give my biggest puppy eyes I could muster and she sighs.

"Ill see what I can do. But I will require you to help out a guardian. If you are from thr outside world, not only will you have experience, but immense power not thought of in this realm. Am I correct in assuming such?" She looks at me very skeptically.

"What do you think?" I hold out my hand and create an arc, solar, and void orb swirling around each other without breaking a sweat.

"My, you are a gifted one. For the sake of simplicity you will be labeled a warlock. Understood? It would make sense given your type of powers and their nature. I imagine you have more that not even the traveler would know about. But that will be up to you to find. As for the guardian you shall assist, he is talking to Zavala right now. I shall acquaint you two and Zavala will give your objectives. Better take this weapon and arm band. Make you fit in more." She rambles on while I'm only half listening. I notice she holds out a sword and warlock band. I take the Dreadfang and swing it a bit testing the weight. Once I feel comfortable with it I look to the masked guy talking with Zavala. Ikora clears her throat and they both stop talking to acknowledge us. Or probably her.

"Yes Ikora?"

"Zavala, this guardian will be accompanied by Hades. I will fill you in later, but please give these two their first mission so they can get to know each other," she gives me a last once over before turning and walking out.

"Hey," a husky voice said from behind me as I watched Ikora leave. "Didnt I just save you from tripping earlier?" My face heated up so badly I thought I would summon a solar flare...

"Uh yeah. You did... Thanks for that by the way," I awkwardly reply while holding out my hand. He grasps it firmly and shakes it once.

"So guardian...s. There were reports of a cabal ship crashlanding on Venus. We dont know why they passed Venus or what they could be up to so tread lughtly," we both salute commander Zavala and head to orbit after joining a single fireteam. Once we get to orbit and are flying towards Venus, I finally spoke.

"So I never introduced myself. I'm Hades. Glad to help you out. Should be interesting at the very least," I say over the comms.

"I'm Cerberus. Nice to meet you Hades. I see there's some irony in here," I can hear the smirk on his face. Oh I really hope he isnt going to be an issue in this mess I think to myself. Or so I thought. "Nah I think we should be fine. A warlock and titan are pretty stupid good together. And you're not that bad looking either. Uh... I winked by the way. You couldnt see because... Ship... A-and comms."

"I didnt think that? Well, I was actually meaning I hope you aren't cute or something so I'm not a drooling mess out in the field... Heh." I shyly slink down in the pilot seat waiting for some demented response.

"Well ill see you without my mask after this eh? Haha and then we'll see who drools over who," am I really flirting with a guy I dont know? Did he just flirt back?? "Yes I did. Dude you need to work on your thinking versus speaking." I let out a sigh and just focused on getting to Venus.
