Here's my second try, hope everyone enjoys reading as much as I enjoyed writing! Warm regards and much love, Destiny Author. [b]BURIED CITY BY DESTINY AUTHOR Decaying metal plummeted off the roof of the nearby center building, pounding the Martian red with an audible [i]thunk[/i]. The Titan turned to face the ruckus, prepared to attack, but he was only greeted with the still floating rusty sands slowly vanishing back into the ground. His Warlock comrade placed a hand on his shoulder and began to calm him. “Steady, brother. The Cabal have not even arrived yet. We need not blast dust.” The Titan turned. “I [i]am[/i] easy. My back merely wants to avoid being shot, if at all possible,” he replied snarkily. The Warlock twisted and locked an observant gaze on the forsaken city square they’d taken refuge in. Cabal had tracked them relentlessly and taken their Hunter companion’s life in the process of chasing them. Time was of little surplus; the hulking monsters would locate them, and spare none once they were discovered. “Tell me something, before those brutish beasts find us, brother?” The Warlock beggard, shifting his defensive stance slightly. “Only ask, and I shall tell.” The Titan answered. A brief pause, and in the silence, all the Buried City told in the intermission was a slight breeze and the creaking of deteriorating steel. “What’ll become of us, our memory, if the Cabal find... kill, us?” The Warlock asked. The Titan froze and gazed upon their surroundings. An old, destroyed, forgotten place. “I’m uncertain, brother. But I know this...” the Titan said, and took a brief pause. “We will not be old, and destroyed, and forgotten: like this city. We have endeavored and lived like heroes, and will be hailed as such.” He stood. “Let the Cabal come, and let them fear. For we are brave, and we will never, [i]ever[/i] die.” [/b]
