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]Dreams of Teeth[/b] [i]Arttu doesn't sleep well that night.[/i] Arttu leans up against the railing, looking down at the city he protects below. It was peaceful. Everything seemed...viscous? Lately like everyone around him was a wild dog baring their teeth. The city burned. [u]Waiting[/u] He made his way to the cryptarch, people stepped up to him holding engrams to be decrypted, but they didn't touch the ground. One guardian received a shard from his and he actually bit at Master Rahool. [u]Ryluth[/u] He went to the Arach, looking for new boots, and found they all felt as if they were a small horrible animal. Not fitting snugly on his slender legs, but devouring them. [u]Venus[/u] He made his way to the Speaker, perhaps there was something wrong with him, everyone was smiling and watching him. Their mouths were over stuffed with large teeth. [u]Ishtar[/u] He noticed Xur by the large doors, his hood was down, he saw his face was nothing but a large toothy smile. They were more like fangs, fitting snugly within each other. But still, he seemed somewhat sad, as if he had played a cruel joke on Arttu and now regret it. [u]Search[/u] He climbed the stairs and saw the Speaker, his ghost was gone, back turned to him. The Speaker turned, his mask was removed, there was nothing. [u]Peace[/u] [i]Arttu shot awake in his bed.[/i] "...something..."Arttu said to himself panting in a cold sweat. "...is on Venus..." He stood up from his bed. "...and I think I know what." Thankyou for reading, this is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig reminding you to [b]live beyond the story![/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/100320345/0/0]Chapter 4; Ryluth Waits[/url]
