The girl had been born weak. Raised by the Light and trained by her Ghost, but still frail of arms and legs. She failed time and again at simple missions, yet she struggled on. Strengthening her muscles and sharpening her agility bit by bit with each heart breaking disappointment. Alone, she strives to endure.
The universe was altered the night the Taken war began. The girl could feel it in the weight of her Ghosts words. Powerful Guardians were raging against the Taken King and his hordes in a conflict like no other. Many had been bested already. Experienced Guardians of brawn and steel were assembling into teams to eliminate this tainted plague.
The girl [u]yearned[/u] to fight.
“[i]Your Light is too weak, girl[/i]”, “[i]Is that a Dregs helmet???[/i]”, “[i]No formal training, move on[/i]”, “[i]Speak up, or get lost![/i]” - They’d scoff. She was a burden that no one wanted to shoulder.
Dejected and humiliated, she moved among these great heroes looking for a place to belong. She watched from the shadows until one day, by chance, she locked eyes with one such being. It wasn’t his confident stance, aura of power or the magnificent gleaming red Titan armor that she focused on. He and his comrade had recruited three other inexperienced mewlings and were looking for a fight without requirements. Without a word, this commanding Guardian nodded in the girls’ direction and she was in.
Over seven hours of frustration, futility, and sweat, did the battle ensue. All of the girls’ meager talents were tested and found lacking, and tested again. Never had she seen such magnificent sights nor experienced such bone-chilling terror. A new threshold of pain was achieved along with newer abilities. The girls’ limited mindset was shattered and replaced with boundless ideals. Exhausted and aching, the final stand was one of pure grit and willpower. She survived with just a sliver of health, to prove herself to her new teacher more than anything else.
After the spoils were split and the victory dances were done, the girl looked up to her mentor and whispered in awe, “Who [i]ARE[/i] you??”
With pride in his eyes as he looked at me, he replied “They call me [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/6308046][b]Toaster[/b][/url]”.
