Hello guardians! I'm back with another story, if you haven't read my first come join [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/769615/0/1/0]The Collective of Fanfiction![/url] Before we begin I'd like to express the three types of special text I'll be using. Bold is emphasis, italic is omnipotent being telling the parts without the main, and underlined is deeper conscious. [b]The Spine[/b] [i]He stands in the shadows, waiting for the next guardian he'll send on the way to their destiny. The nine command him.[/i] Arttu walks slowly to Xur, he didn't want to be noticed. Today Xur was below the FWC though so it was pretty obvious to any who saw him walk down those steps what he sought. Arttu mastered the ways of the gunslinger, and with his trip mines he was nearly unstoppable. Setting the trap was easy, it's deciding who to lure first that's hard. "Greetings guardian. Do you wish to see my wares?" Xur called as Arttu approached. "You know that's why I'm here. What have you today? I've heard rumors..." Arttu was cut off by Xur, he didn't speak; simply held out the gauntlet. The gauntlet clearly crafted from the now extinct ahamkara. The rumors were true. "...how much?" Arttu asked. It was clear Xur knew he wanted it, the price would probably be higher. "All I seek is the coins you carry." That wasn't much, only about 15, why was Xur giving me a deal? Probably better not to ask. "Deal." Arttu replied, handing Xur his coins. Arttu walked away, past dead orbit, past the sights of Holliday and the vanguard frame, out to the wall overlooking the city. He put on his new armour.
