Hello guardians, this is AnonPig of [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/806204]The Collective of Fanfiction[/url] and I'd like to take this moment to invite all writers and readers alike to join! This is a single part of a much larger story, [b]A New Dark Shines[/b], to read from the beginning of the beginning: [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/99978879/0/0]Chapter 1; The Spine[/url] [b]In The Field[/b] [i] The titan felt the bullet slam into the back of his head, it didn't matter though, his helmet could stop a Cabal slug. He quickly turned to meet his opponent but saw nothing but the whip of a cloak, long and thin black with a grey circle at its base. He recognized that cloak, it belonged to Arttu, he had been stopping him this entire match. They were the last two left, and the titan was proud and thought Arttu saw who it was so he turned to run, he was wrong.[/i] They were in the Shores of Time, Arttu was ready to win. He shot the titan and turned to run, back from point C through the cave to wrap around back to B. He stopped in the cave, this was where he'd set his trap. [u]not there, oh bearer of mine[/u] A chill went down his spine and he started walking a little more, this was where he'd lay his trap. [u]yes, now the titan will [b]burn[/b][/u] He tossed his trip mine and crouched into the corner, just poking out enough for that titan to see him. [i]The titan gazed into the cave, he quickly saw the barrel of Arttu's scout rifle poking out from the corner, and didn't see that familiar flash of that dreadful trip mine. He charged into the cave, fist of havoc ready.[/i] ////BANG\\\\ [u]yes titan, burn[/u] A now familiar chill went down Arttu's spine again, the match was over, he had finished it. ~ in the tower ~ "You cheated somehow!" The titan explodes at Arttu. "I stopped to check for that Damn trip mine, it wasn't there!" Lord Shaxx stepped between them. "Arttu did not cheat, I was watching closely. He considered throwing the trip mine where you would see it, but must have realized because he placed it farther ahead." He said calmly but firm. The titan walked away mad, muttering under his breath casual slurs about hunters in general. "That was impressive guardian." Lord Shaxx said, a smile in his voice hidden by his helmet. "It was for situations like that, that i created the crucible. You will go far."
