DESTINY: The Eyes Of A Hunter A Guardian's View

"Silvia don't do this." I heard Biscuit but I was already flying quickly through the Reef's orbit. Usually, they would ask my identification but not a single feed coming through. I don't care what anyone says, I will find my answers. I will make Mara speak. I do not care about her title, I will make her talk. Period.

I held my breath because the Reef was broken. I know it's not the same, but I had little hope. I had to read and study about the Reef Wars that I missed because someone or something killed me before I could witness anything from my own eyes. I never felt so betrayed by my people that the Tower and the city is looking like a better home than this place could ever be. I can't even say sorry that I wasn't here because apparently, they didn't want me there in the first place. I was called the Killer Rose because I protected Mara more than these Fallen beasts. I killed better than her brother Uldren only because he would be so flamboyant and scared to do anything and rely on them stupid crows that I did shoot down just because they're annoying. I could have replaced that fool easily. I kill like a monster. I am a war machine for the Reef. I was the one that protected the Reef when things got ugly. I dealt with the Wolves before, they're nothing to me. They're weak to me because all the power that they thought they had, was lost especially when the Kells had died. The more I think about this, the more my anger rises.

"Identify yourself, Guardian. How did you get this ship?" Ah, so the feedback still works as soon as I landed, punching some buttons I was already being transmitted to the Vestian Outpost. I still had my helmet on and I stood there in the shadow of the sky as I looked around with a smudged look on my face. I already see Guardians running around because this is all new to them, but to me this is nothing. I could feel the eyes from familiar faces especially from the feedback section that Petra is usually around. However, I wasn't paying attention and I had a knife in my back.

"Last warning, who are you? No one has that ship but those of the Reef and the Queen." Ah Petra, you always surprise me for no reason. I smirked as I reached down and grab my knife quickly just to swipe kick her down and placed a knife to her throat before she could do or say anything. I could feel the Queen guards forming around us ready to shoot me with there Vestian handgun.

"I don't think you want to do that," I spoke softly, Biscuit was in my helmet again but it didn't stop me for showing them that I meant business. My cloak flowed behind me as I got up and placed my knife back in my holster. "Biscuit, take off my helmet, please," I said quietly.

"N...no..." I could hear Petra's voice fade away as my face became present to them all. Guardians stopped and looked at the commotion because they haven't seen anything like this. Plus, most were jealous of my armor, but I worked hard for it. I looked at Petra with cold eyes as I eyed her carefully. She still had her red side bun, eye-patched on her right eye as the other was her regular luminescent blue. As a hunter, she doesn't look like much, but with her royal outfit that's bulky on the shoulders and ended with a bulky belt; she gives orders from The Queen. I'm so glad that I didn't go with that outfit, the look is weird.

"You look like you saw a ghost Petra? If so, I think I need to find them I am." I walked passed the guards as I left Petra on the ground. I looked around as I kept going straight from where I first landed. I didn't care about my attitude because honestly, they're the ones that threw me away, well felt like they did. I will say this, Killer Rose is about to be an angry Rose if someone stops me once more.

"Alert the Queen. Silvia is alive!" I don't know if that was excitement or dreading the fact I'm walking around freely except two guards that were protecting the Queen's corridors. They stood up straight and I looked at both of them carefully. I could still feel the other Guardians' eyes because they were curious about what would happen next. Well, they're out of luck because once I open the corridor's door and stepped in, I was out of sight. The guards closed the door behind me.

"I thought you were dead, Ms. Rose." The Queen waved her hand as the Guards and her brother disappeared in the back. I walked up slowly with my hands clasped in the back as I nodded my head. "I thought I told Karina to send for you, but it seems you were busy." Her voice was nonchalant and it intrigued me to the point I'm now leaning up against a wall. Looking at this woman. Still the same. Short white hair with her blue glowing eyes. Her hunter gear is like mine but more..subtle. Never wears a helmet. It doesn't need too. She gets to sit here and give commands.

"She did. I didn't follow it as you could see," I paused as I looked around making sure nothing is going to attack me or try me. "I don't think I care if you wanted to see me, Mara."

"I see. If you want to know, the Wolves had turned their back on me and I need your...skills." She took a long pause just to say skill. So you haven't forgotten? Let's see if I can have some fun for a bit before.

"Ah, your wolves turned on you? Thought you were the Kells of Kells that had everything together?" I chuckle as I pushed myself up and looked at pleasingly. "You were the firstborn of our Race. Variks even crown you to be Queen. So what made them turn on you?" I smirked and I can tell she was getting annoyed.

"If you don't stop. They turned on me because of the war. Why would that matter to you anyways, you were dead through it all. Am I right?" Oh, now we're getting personal. I walked closer towards the point I'm only three feet away from her stupid throne. I nodded my head.

"Yeah, you're right. You lost Sjur. Your first lover." She got tense as she grips the edge of her chair. At this point, I'm shouting. "You lost her in the Reef's war that I was supposed to be there! But No! I got killed because of your jealousy?! Because I was alive and she wasn't?! Is that how you want to live your life?! Huh, Mara?! Because you seem to put on a good damn show and you can't even keep it together!"

And that's where I hit the nerve because she got up and looked at me straight in my eyes and she never does that. I know she was annoyed because her eyes grew cold and her breathing began to heighten. Sadly, I know I was right because I knew her love for Sjur was strong and I kept my feelings away. Without knowing I was in her face looking at her as I tried to hold back from slapping her.

"Who told you this?!" Her voice rose as I leaned into her face and shrugged.

"Of course you would want to know. I knew your love, but the rest was in books that the Tower has that you will never get. I had to bear the fact that my hometown was at war and I couldn't protect it because someone wants me dead because of jealousy." I gritted my teeth as I felt her exhaling through her nose and it landed on my b.a.r.e neck. I shook my head before looking down on the purple ground before into her saddened eyes. "You will never know how much I loved you."

"I killed you because I knew I would catch feelings towards you and that would get in my way, Silvia. You know that and I know that. I killed you so I can protect you from Skolas! He was looking for you at the Cosmodrome so I had Karina to kill you because I wouldn't want anyone to touch you. I was selfish and I can't help-" After that, I turned around. I didn't want to hear another word. She tried to grab my hand to pull me back but I snatched it back. I stepped down on the throne and I can feel my tears forming. She had my sister kill me because she didn't want me to die because of Skolas; Skolas has nothing on me and she knows this! "Silvia don't walk away from me!"

I stopped at the door and looked back, "I will help you once with these Wolves but after that... I'm done with you and don't expect me to come back unless I have too. Mara, you broke my heart and you betrayed me because I was the next Kells of Kells. Skolas wouldn't have a problem with me and you know this. You don't want to lose your throne so you killed me. You had my sister to do the dirty work for you! I will never forgive you." I pushed the door open and I walked right out. I was done for. I started to shed tears like a child wanting a teddy bear for a nightmare.

Mara Sov, you are not my Queen.

I sighed so heavily as my c.h.e.s.t began to hurt. I began to walk over to Petra as each Guard and Guardians watched me like a hawk. They probably heard me and Mara shouting match back there, but at the same time, it had to happen. It needed to be said.

"Head off to the House of Wolves on Venus before their Kell, Skolas, can wrest control of the House of Winter." Variks popped up behind me and he put his tentacle hand on my shoulder. I sighed as they probably already know that I knew and what I said to Mara, the fake Queen. I sighed as I reached back and patted his hand. I nodded towards Petra but Petra stopped me. Why am I being surrounded?

"I'm glad that I'm working with you, again. Even so, Mara only saved y-"

"Petra, save it. I'm over it. She wanted me dead before I died anyway." I was going to be the Queen, but I denied because that's a lot of work, but people still call me Queen and she doesn't like that at all. Karina stood up by me but at the same time, I can't even trust her now. I don't think I can trust anyone here. I looked down before my helmet came about.

"Like I told Mara, I will save you once, don't expect me to come again unless it's an emergency," I spoke once before I transmitted to Ceres. I couldn't hold it in anymore, as soon as I got seated, I screamed and screamed. My people turn their backs on me. I couldn't help but cry and cry. I should have just stayed dead for all this.

The tower is my family now. The hell with the Reef.

~~~

Landing in Venus, I sighed as I shook my head. I looked over at Biscuit because he never has seen me so upset nor so mad to the point I'm breaking. I placed my hands in my pocket because at this point I'm pissed off. I don't even want to help with the Reef, but I don't back down my word and I kinda wish I did at this point. I could have gone back to finish my small date with Cayde and played poker and lose like I normally do on my downtime, but no. My home called out and I ran and I got backstabbed to the point that I can feel my blood falling.

"Oh look, a spike bike. I haven't seen one of these in a while. I hope no one decides to come behind me and kill me again, like my people!" I shouted just in case someone heard me except, no one did.

"Silvia I know you're mad but right now, these wolves are dangerous, they're not like the ones you knew. Skolas took the Kell title and he's the one that broke the Wolves out and betrayed our people, so please chill till this is all over." Hearing Petra in my head I rolled my eyes.

I stayed quiet.

I hopped on the bike and waited for Biscuit to show me the way that Petra sent him. As soon as the markers came up I took off on the bike. I sigh as I shook my head trying to shake this sadness but I can't no matter how much I tried to stir my thoughts away, it just won't work. I slowed down once I rode past a canyon. Already Dregs. Let's see what these bikes can do. There were two double throttles on both handles. They were testing me until I pressed down the right second throttle and bombs went their way. Oh? I can get used to this. Again. Both Dregs are done.

"As much as I don't want to talk but isn't this the House of Winter's turf?" I signed as I slowed down to a stop just to see a House of Wolves Walker.

"Yes."

I sighed as I put my bike to work. I had to take down a walker...Again!

Bomb. Bomb. Bomb. There's a lot of bombs and a lot of Fallen. I went from bike to bike just so I can kill these mugs with bombs because even if I used my heavy, it wouldn't damage these fools. Glad it didn't take long.

"Go to the Cinders and the Cove. I'm picking up Skolas around there."

Hopping on a nearby bike as I roar it alive. I looked around one last time before I took off. My mind trailed off to the place that I haven't thought of honestly. The time when Skolas was my pet. Skolas was my Kell before the Queen took him over after some fall out. I lost him and never seen him again. I wonder if he still the same Wolf as I knew before. Yet, the way the Reef is talking, probably not.

"E lo vos dra da ki dras gu dar ge" I can hear Skolas raspy Fallen voice as I tried to cipher it.

"Variks I know you can hear me. Doesn't that mean something about Kells of Kells?" I asked as I come to a stop at my destination. I sighed as I got up.

"Yessss. The Killer Rose remembers the language of the Wolves more so the Fallen. He said, 'The Wolves stand strong. Cower before the Kell of Kells."

"He gave himself a promotion? That's funny." Petra and I both said the same thing at the same time. Skolas what are you doing? You weren't like this when you were mine so why the change-up?

"A Fallen legend. He sees himself as a prophet, perhaps. Or he has gone quite mad." Variks said.

Biscuit placed my Suros Regime in my hand as I walked carefully. Always being around the House of Wolves they were cautious at times and when they got caught they would send a signal out and that's when you die. Even though they're not wolves, they do wear wolves skin around their necks as well run in packs. I took a step closer to an exit and I was bombarded with Shanks. I quickly took them out in a distance because they have Shanks that blow up and I don't want to die by them. Everything else, maybe. But not by them. After killing them I hopped down deep into the cave and looked around because no one and nothing is moving and usually with Shanks, there's Vandals and Dregs but nothing. Maybe they're playing it carefully.

"Petra, what the status because nothing is moving. Everything is quiet." Walking up a dirt trail I noticed dead Fallen but it doesn't look like the Wolves, probably House of Winter. Possibly Skolas doing.

"Cryo-Trace is getting stronger. Have to remember he was in a pod all these years...oh no."

I stop midway after hearing that. "Why was Skolas in a pod?! No wonder he wanted to break free because you all treated him like shit! Skolas didn't do anything to you!"

"Sil, he changed since you've been gone. He's been dead ever since. So we locked him a pod."

This is getting on my nerve. One minute they kill me and the next day they keep my wolf in a pod. Oh, the more I don't want to help. Going up a dirt trail and hills I haven't killed anything since the Walker. What's going on? Skolas are you playing hide and seek? I sighed as I kept following my destination sign but got interrupted when I bumped into a...

"Skolas!" I yelled but he brought his cannon up and began to fire at me. I dropped down and rolled over until I got up quickly and picked my weapon up that I dropped and started to shoot at him. His eyes are cold and I mean murder cold. What did they do to you? Two bullets went into his arm but he ready went back into his ship.

This isn't good. "Petra where did he go?"

"I don't know, there are wolves all around you can defeat them or what, but I have detected Vex energy around there."

"I'm coming back. Tell the other Guardians to clean this place up. Tell them to use the Cannons that they now have," I turned back around quickly as I noticed a Servitor that was moving very close to me. I think Biscuit got the idea because I was back In Ceres rather quickly. "Variks why do they have cannons anyways?"

"They're rare. Used in the Wars. Indeed rare."

"Well, the Cannons will kill their own so it will help the Guardians. Petra and Variks I'm coming back. I'm taking over."

"Good because the Wolves are just getting started. House of Winter kneels to Skolas now. See you at the outpost, Killer Rose."

Sitting in Ceres. I looked at Biscuit.

"I think I have to kill my pet."
