Winter Hollow: A destiny fan story

Chapter 14: A begining of an end

--Darja's pov--
I look at the shards of pibb... scattered across the snow,
"Now you've sworn an allegiance to us, and now we have a reward," it starts to laugh a little, as i see the shards of pibb start to float into the air and darkness from the crux behind me go into thr shards... i get to my feet as i see that my ghost.... is... reborn..?
"A new ghost, but... its a shadow of its former self, and its only job, it to insure you live, its loyal to you, and the darkness,"
"..... you made me kill pibb,.... made me regret so much..... only for you to reserect him..?" I say with anger starting to rise,
"Oh no, its not pibb any more, its just a husk of a shell of what was, like riven, a husk,".....
I seath my thorn and take a look at the shadow of a ghost i once knew, it still bears the cracks of when i shot, i shiver but i notice the blood red eye,
I still feel the regret,
"Hello, Darja... or should i call you, Dregen Sul?" It says in a deathly voice,
I shudder at the name dregen... but its what i chose, to save my friends from death....
"Call me what you like, we're leaving," i say to it somewhat annoyed like,
It disapears leaving a dark trace,
I start to walk forward, putting my mind off on everything.... but i find my self coming back to this one single thought...
What if 
Just what if i didnt.... shoot.... him.....
I know my shadow knows what im feeling,
"Look.... im not ment... for... sympathy... but seeing how im your shadow, im supost to be there for you... so i'll do my best to be a friend...
Im not sure if you did the right thing... but hey, we're here together, and i'll always have those fragments of your old ghost, and if you want to call me pibb, then be my guest, Darja," The shadow says,
"Ya know, you remind me of my old ghost, but, you do need a name....
Hmm.... how about... rift?" I say to him as he apears out of a cloud of dark,
"Ya know, i dig it," he says warmly,
"Good,"
We go into silence as he disappears again,

-- an hour of silent walking later,--

"Hey Rift, do you hold Pibbs memorys?" I ask,
"Yeah i do, why?"
"Can you look for and signals of any ship?"
"Uhh Yeah its gonna take a min but the most i can do is a region wide scan...,

Hmm, theres a ship crashed near by, im getting a life sign, a... female exo who goes by... Darja.... its Annica, Theres her cords, i know how much you care for her, so i care for her too, go now!
Oh yeah heres a sparrow, your welcome dont mention it, just go fast!" He says as i see a darkend version of my Wardens Sparrow, i hop on it and i start driving to the cords,
I start to see further as the storm clears up and i see the wreckage, i hoped it wasnt true...
I hop off and rush to the cockpit,
I pull out my knife with in wringing with a much more powerful verson of stasis, i head to the cockpit and i see theres a hole already, i stab the glass making it distinagrate with the stab of one stasis knife,
I see annica, she doesnt look good at all,
"Darja! Thank the traveller, annicas incredibly wounded.... wait... is that... no time, she needs urgant care but i... i cant fix her wounds" igyu says sounding worried, i get a good hold onto annica to make sure i dont wound her any more, i drag her onto the snow, and rift apears,
"Hmm I can fix her, but dajra, your gonna have to cover me," rift says sounding more alive like, as he scans annica,
"Umm Darja... .we have... some company..." igyu says as he disapears into air,
I pull out my thorn and i ready it,....
I start to see movement as another storm rolls up, and then the next thing i hear....
