———————————————————————————————————— The small escape pod crashed in the lush surface of Venus with a thunderous boom. Rulis stepped out, his body was wonky from the impact, he stumbled out of the pod and looked at the volcano massive in the distance. “So, where do we go now?” Delta asked “No idea really, hey, I thought you knew where a ship was.” Rulis told her Then Delta scanned for any ships in the area, she finally found one, though they would be taking a huge risk. “I found one, but your not going to like who it belongs to.” Delta said “Let me guess, Fallen, probably some upstart of House Wolves.” Rulis replied The two then set off towards the ship on foot. They finally arrived after walking 2 whole agonizing miles. There was an encampment of House Wolves about a quarter mile in front of them. There was a Skiff at the back of the base, their only ticket off Venus. ———————————————————————————————————— Rulis decided to rush at the base head on, Delta reluctantly agreed. Rulis then did exactly as he had “planned”, he had rushed the base. The Fallen there were not expecting anyone to assault, and they were decimated because of it, none of them stood a chance. “Wow that was quick” Delta said She was staring at the massive amount of corpses on the floor. “Yeah, your not kidding.” Rulis replied The two boarded the Skiff and took off towards the City, there were only minor problems from that time onward. Rulis was lying on a mattress, shivering in fear, Delta then went over to comfort him. “Hey, what’s wrong?” Delta asked “Nothing, nothing, I’m fine.” Rulis replied “Your not fine, your scared, just tell me what’s wrong.” Delta replied “Ok fine, I’ll tell you this once, and only once, ok?” Rulis replied “Ok” Delta responded “Skolas, he was a tyrant, to everyone in the House, but to me and Variks especially. He would try and kill me, he said that it was to “test” me, he really just wanted me dead. He would try and do everything in his power to get rid of me, yet Variks had it worse. Poor, poor Variks, I hope he’s ok now, I really do.” Rulis said ———————————————————————————————————— “We’re here, time to land.” Delta said The Tower came into view and two City Hawks flew on both the left and right side of the Skiff. They opened fire and at point blank range as well. The engines of the Skiff were damaged beyond repair, the Skiff fell out of the air and crashed on the ground with a deafening thud. Rulis crawled his way out of the wreckage as the two City Hawks flew away. “Well that was a warm welcome” Delta said “Yeah, your not kidding.” Rulis replied “So, how are we going to get to the City now?” Delta asked Rulis just shrugged, he pulled out the grappling hook that he found onboard the Ketch, attached a makeshift harness to himself, and began to scale the wall. He scaled the wall for some time and found an entrance into the City, a vent, he decided to crawl through it. ———————————————————————————————————— Inside the vent it was very dark, Delta had to guide Rulis by lighting up the vents for him. He eventually found an opening from which he had used to exit the vents. Rulis then found himself in the Annex of the Tower he turned around only to be greeted by another Guardian. “Well, well, well, what do we have here?” The man said Rulis just stared at him, keen not to take off his helmet. The man decided to take off Rulis’ helmet, and once he did he recoiled in shock and drew his gun. Delta then appeared to try and stop the Drifter from doing anything rash. “So, your saying that he’s a Guardian, well this is interesting.” Drifter said “Yes, even I’m surprised by this, we’ll be going now, bye.” Delta replied Rulis lifted himself off the floor and walked away, not before putting on his helmet again. The two of them made it to the Courtyard with minimal issues yet once they arrived in the Courtyard they were greeted by Zavala and a squadron of guards. Zavala ordered them to fire on Rulis yet before they even had a chance to do so someone objected him. “Who said that?” Zavala asked “Commander, might I tell you not to welcome any other Guardian in such a way ever again or else.” The Warlock said “Or else what?” Zavala replied “Or else, the Praxic Order will demote your status of leadership.” The Warlock replied ———————————————————————————————————— Zavala then stepped down, the guards lowered their guns, and the Warlock led Rulis away towards the Apartment complex. The two arrived at Room 279 and went inside, Rulis decided to sit down and began to question the Warlock. “Who are you? Why did you save me?” Rulis asked “I am Paradox-0 a member of the Praxic Order, I saved you because Zavala has been like that ever since Cayde died, we expected Ikora to break down like that but Zavala was the one to do it instead.” Paradox replied “You do know that I’m an Eliksni, right?” Rulis told him “Yes, yes, I’m aware of this, Ikora sent me to monitor Venus because there were some remnants of the House of Wolves there, yet I see that you’ve already dispatched of them, splendid work really.” Paradox told him Just then a Titan entered the room, his armor was covered in Hive runes. “Karov, this is Rulis, Rulis, this is Karov Drëk.” Paradox said Karov turned to face Rulis, he smiled and extended his hand to shake Rulis’. Not wanting to be rude, Rulis extended his hand to shake Karov’s. “Hello, now I’ve registered a room for you, Room 456, your room has a password, it’s [url=https://destiny.fandom.com/wiki/House_of_Wolves_(Expansion)] 51915 [/url].” Karov said “Thanks, I’ll see the both of you tomorrow, okay.” Rulis replied ————————————————————————————————————
