The Guardian of Death

Chapter 8: Gorgon Problem

Gorgons Maze, Vault of Glass

No ones POV

BlackLight drops down into the rocky cavern, breaking the ground around him into dust. As he strode off from the landing, his feet make craters in the dirt floor, showing his anger. Nalia, his Ghost, hovers over his shoulder, or tries to at least.

"Hon, I'm sorry for your loss. Templara was the best Vex I've ever known, only second to Atheonia. It wasn't-" she tries to reason

"SHUT UP!" He roared, shaking the cavern

BlackLight turns to the small ball of Light. His eyes are ablaze with rage along with his armor, which seems to have an reddish orange aura spreading from it. Nalia starts to back away from him in fright, as the wrathful Guardian descended upon her.

"ITS MY FAULT I COULDNT....i couldn't save her in time. It's my fault that she is gone." He spoke as his wrath died out, replaced with a sorrowful tone

Nalia floats there as he walks ahead, observing him and feeling the Light in her shell twist in pain. She knew he blames himself for every innocent death on his hands, and it haunts him. This time, however, Nalia has had enough of him doing this.

She floats towards him quickly, and bashes him with her shell, knocking him down. As he turns around to yell, Nalia is up in his face, her eye blood red.

"IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF EVER DAY! IVE HAD ENOUGH OF WATCHING YOU PUSH ME AWAY AND NOT UNDERSTAND THAT WE. FEEL. PAIN. TOO! I LOVE YOU, YOU GODDAMN FUCKING HYPOCRITE, AND I CANT EVEN TOUCH YOU! IM STUCK ETERNALLY IN THIS FUCKING BALL, AND YOU ARE NOT! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP, AND MAN UP BLACKLIGHT!" Nalia yells at him

She seethes with rage, then starts to calm herself. After awhile, her eye turns back to its original bright blue.

"So please, please get it together. If not for me, for yourself." Nalia floats ahead of him "I'll see you at Atheonia's door, if you reach there asshole."

Nalia disperses into particles of Light, leaving her Guardian on the floor, absolutely stunned. BlackLight never thought about how she felt being a Ghost sometimes, and now is starting to understand.

BlackLight slams his hand into the floor, which alerts a Gorgon nearby. He hears the Gorgon coming, and scurried to a nearby wall, hoping that it'll hide him. The Gorgon slowly floats on by, and on its skeleton, he sees....radiolaria containers?

Particularly, Gorgons within the Vault, which many don't know, are mainly sadistic females. Many Guardians have been lost to time within the Vault and violated by their tentacles, and only BlackLight knows that fact. However, he hears the Gorgon speak, which he freezes to.

"Little Guardian~ Come out come out little Guardian~ I just want to see you suffer and writhe in pain as my tentacles fill your insides~ Ara Ara it'd be so hot~" the Gorgon eerily said

The strange Vex began to thrash about its tentacles after a few minutes, getting enraged by the lack of a meal. BlackLight slowly began to get up, carefully trying not to scratch the wall. He grabbed a stone from the ground and carefully took aim above the Gorgon, then threw the stone into a corner.

The sound startled the Vex Gorgon, which shifted its plates and rushed the sound, hoping to get a fresh meal out of it. BlackLight jumped up onto the larger stone formations to avoid anymore incidents with the Gorgons. While he was about to jump onto the next platform, he saw a rare sight: all of the Gorgons were grouped together in a circle with their glow being the only source of light within the vicinity.
