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]The Fallen Wall[/b] [i]Arttu was thrust back into his body from that plane that Ryluth created. His dreams would stop now, his purpose was served. Ryluth had his revenge on the city, it's precious wall has fallen.[/i] No one was around, he still sat where Ikora told him to, and there was smoke. Arttu got up, it felt like he'd never walked before, and made his way back out to the courtyard. Smoke rose from the distance, and it was clear what had happened. Somehow the wall had fallen...no just shattered, as if it were made of brittle stone. The city below was burning. The dreams came crashing into him..were they dreams? They felt more like a separate him, walking around a fake tower. This was all of him, this was the real tower, and that was the real city, and it was burning. Xur was somewhere, wasn't he? He had something to give Arttu, just like he gave him the spine. What was it? He couldn't remember, did he ever know? Was Xur real in that place? Was he really there? Xur could wait right now though, the city was dying. The Fallen took advantage of this golden opportunity and stormed in. This was his fault wasn't it? His fault for buying that spine from Xur, somehow it gave...Ryluth power to attack the city. Arttu came to the railing, looking down at the city he's failed to protect. It was horrible in an obvious way, the roar of the flames and the screams of the people. It chilled him down to the bone. He turned to see Xur standing over where cryptarch normally would. Arttu knew what to do, and Xur was the first step in completing that. He didn't know how just yet, but he knew Xur had the answers. "Greetings guardian." Xur said as he approached. "This is the last way the nine plan to interfere. Your decisions will be your own. You must choose wisely." Xur handed Arttu a rocket launcher. It felt powerful. This was how Arttu could defeat that damned ahamkara. He has made his choice, with dragons breath by his side, he would win.
