Eris pinched the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath. "What do you mean, he 'left'? He can't have just... wait, what? Narvuk, a Knight, portaled? No, he never mentioned it. Do you know where? Titan. I see. Do what you must, Guardian. We cannot afford to lose him so soon." She switched the comlink off and sat down with a sigh. Too much was happening already, and now this. She had reviewed the feed of Narvuk's match at least a dozen times, but it still didn't make sense.
Narvuk's comment about the song troubled her. The others may have dismissed it as nonsense, but she had strong suspicions that something - or rather, someONE - was attempting to reach out. But who? Narvuk served Crota, thus he was tied to Oryx before his death. Savathun was clever enough, but such a close servant of her nephew was unlikely. Xivu Arath, perhaps? No, that was not her way. She was a warrior, a conqueror, not a schemer like her sister. Eris' gaze turned to the Scarlet Keep, its tower visible even as far away as she was. "What secrets do your walls conceal? What horrors conspire to destroy us all?
The comlink crackled back to life, this time with Zavala on the other end. "Eris? Eris, come in. There's been a development with Narvuk. He's disappeared to Titan, and I fear he has already betrayed us."
"He has not done anything of the sort, Zavala! You are too quick to condemn him. He needs time to come to grips with his new reality, that is all."
"He is a Guardian. What complications are there in that?"
"Narvuk has become a contradiction to the only philosophy, if it could be called such a thing, that he has ever known. He will be struggling with that for some time. Regardless, there are already two Guardians on their way to help him."
"Very well. Zavala out."
Eris sighed once more before returning to her work.
I peer through my faceted spyglass again, and now he is there. He is intriguing, yes, but he no longer belongs in this place. He is [sharp], but he is but a broadsword, obvious and easily parried. I am a dagger, and I will find the gap in his armor.
