Slayer and the Void

Chapter 4: Tales of old

A/N: "Here's a history lesson for all you newbies coming into the fold with shadowkeep."

Ghost: "Along with the tales of Void's rising."

A/N: "So sit tight, grab snack, and get ready for a blast through the past."

Void's perspective

As the others got settled I began my tale.

Void: "To understand how I was reborn and the events that lead to me coming to this world. The story begins a long time ago, on a distant gas giant called Fundament."

(All hail Byf, the lore master! He will be telling you is what Void's explaining to the others. Watch up until when the risen start to appear but exclude the awoken part.)

After I finished my tale I looked at the surprised faces of the members of the party.

Elf: "So you were dead."

I simply nodded and held Shadow, the fire reflected off of his dull purple shell.

Priestess: "But that can't be it, right?"

Void let out a chuckle as he looked at her.

Void: "Not even close little light. This tale is only the beginning. Though we don't remember who we were in our past lives, let me tell you about my rebirth."

Many many years before.

(In the past you were known by your name and not as yet Void.)

???: "Guardian wake up."

I opened my eyes and looked around me. All I saw was rusted cars and broken down skyscrapers that surrounded me. I tried to remember how I got here but I couldn't. I couldn't remember anything, but my name.

???: "Guardian?"

I looked towards the sound to see a floating white drone like thing hovering over me.

F/N: "What are you? Where am I?"

Shadow: "Well my name is Shadow. I'm a ghost, well your ghost. You've been dead a really long time, so there's a lot you might not understand."

F/N: "Great."

I pulled myself out of the rubble and looked around.

F/N: "What happened?"

Shadow: "The collapse."

F/N: "Fitting, so what now?"

Shadow: "We need to find you a weapon, the Fallen have to be close."

F/N: "Alright."

F/N started to walk around the once great city. It certainly has been some time since my death, as greenery has started to retake the streets.

I walked for what seemed like an hour. Dodging Fallen patrols as I made my way through the man made jungle, my ghost filling in what had happened after my death.

I had just dodged the most recent patrol. When I noticed another ghost go inside an abandoned military checkpoint. I and Shadow followed it inside as it rose its guardian.

He sat up with a bottle of Vodka in his hand and looked around.

???: "The hell?"

F/N: "So you got chosen too."
