【Destiny 2】Book: The Man They Call Cayde - First Stake

Made a deal with myself, long ago…

 

If people needed help and I could do the helping, I would—so I do.

 

Yeah, when that help returns a bit of loot or goodwill my way, all the better, but there's never been a cache I robbed or a stash I hid that didn't offer something to those in need. Not many people know that. Fine by me. I don't like to brag.

 

True, I never wanted the Vanguards' life, but that's not because I didn't see its value. Just that its value fit others better than me. Besides, few can do what I do. Hell, few would even try. I mean, come on… It's me.

 

The places I've been. The trouble I've seen… caused… whatever. Was a time Shiro, Andal, the crew, and me would do more good doing bad than the mightiest Titan ever dreamed.

 

The trails we blazed. The supplies we recovered—pilfered, filched, scammed, stole, found, uncovered, looted. We weren't the only ones, but the world outside the City got a whole lot bigger thanks to us.

 

Yeah, sure, I don't get out as much, but I'm fixing to change that.

 

Zavala won't like it—never does. Ikora will try to convince me otherwise—always does. But we've seen how precious our Light is… How fleeting. Gotta use it while we got it…

 

Do good. Be good. Push the limits. Take back what's ours.

 

And that was my first bet… All in. Day 1. I bet on myself.

 

I saw the edge of those dark ages. You've heard the stories. If not, look them up. Scary stuff. Real eye-opener. I've seen the City grow. And fall. And grow again—stronger. I seen the best of us, and the worst. And I'll fight to ensure we stick around long enough to see that "best" turn to better and that "worst" fade to memory.

 

So, yeah… I'm a loudmouth and a braggart, and I'm quick with a blade and fast on the draw. And if you need it found, fought, killed, saved, or stashed for safe keepin', few can do it better. But in the end…

 

I'm only good because he was good.

 

I like to think I learned that from myself—that the notes left by the "me-that-was-before-me" set the stage. That Five figured, back in those dark days, that Six might not turn out all that nice and end up a Seven. So that former "me" wrote me a road map to the version of him—or me—that would be a better man.

 

So, whatever hand I was dealt, when the bet was placed and it was time to call, no matter what—I had an Ace and a Queen up my sleeve.

 

Meaning I couldn't lose.

 

Meaning the better man would always win.

자, 명확하게 말하자면, 계획은있는 그대로 말하는 것이지만 모든 세부 사항이 실행될 것이라고 기대하지는 마십시오. 나는 중요한 일을 할 것이다. 그러나 내가 여기서 정말로 추구하는 것은 ... 나의 감각이다. 일단 나를 이해하면 내가 어디에서 왔는지, 내가하는 일을하는 이유, 내가 한 일을 한 이유를 이해할 수 있기 때문입니다.

그래서, 당신이 필요하다면 줄 사이를 읽으십시오. 그러나 하루가 끝날까요? 중요한 모든 것은 쉽게 명백해야합니다. 그렇지 않다면주의를 기울이지 않는 것입니다.

그래서 여기 간다…

우리 엑소는 귀신입니다.

불길한 것 같네요. 알 겠어요. 약간의 스트레칭 일 수도 있습니다. 하지만 실제로는 최고의 단어입니다. 원시 사실이 아닌 방식으로 무대를 설정합니다.

수호자는 모두 과거의 삶을 가지고 있습니다. 그러나 당신이 당신의 사람이나 가까이에있는 어떤 확실한 정보를 가지고 돌아 오지 않는 한 (나는 당신을보고 있습니다, 브레이), 그 과거의 삶이나 삶은 깨끗하게 지워졌거나 지워졌습니다. 지나간. 빛과 모든 것에서 다시 태어나면 당신은 당신이되는 것이됩니다.

그래도 엑소?

기계에 유령이 있습니다. 자본 -G "문을 열고 사물을 아는"유령이 아닙니다. 내 말은, 기억이 될 수있는 어떤 것의 조각처럼 .. 모르겠어요. 그것이 무엇이든, 우리가 우리가되기 전에 우리가 누구 였는지 상상할 수있는 출발점을주는 것으로 충분합니다. 그리고 꿈이 있습니다. 그러나 저는 10 피트의 아크 지팡이로 그것을 건드리지 않습니다.

나를? 나는 운이 좋은 소수 중 하나입니다. 그 옛날 엑소의 삶의 흐릿한 빛이 내가 계속해야 할 전부는 아니었다. 저의 믿음직한 자본 인 G Ghost 이전에 제 삶에 있었던 "나"는 제가 누군지에 대한 기준을 제공하는 이전 생애의 단편 인 기념품과 같은 일기를 보관했습니다.

일기는 개인적이며 나는 가슴 가까이에 개인적으로 유지합니다. 나는 몇 페이지를 공유했지만, 신화 뒤에있는 사람을 보는 데 약간의 가치를 찾을 수있는 올바른 생각을 가진 유형들과 만 공유했습니다.

네, "신화"라고 말 했어요. 우리 농담이야? 당신은 내 말을 들었습니다. 누가하지 않았습니까? 요점은… 저는 개인적인 사업을 보여주지 않습니다.

첫째, 그것은 내 연료이기 때문입니다. 둘째, Big Blue는 자신이 과거에 있었던 일, 의무, 규칙, 우리가 선택된 이유를 잃지 않는 등 과거의 모습을 파고 드는 수호자의 열렬한 팬이 아니기 때문입니다. 그러나 그 무엇보다도… 우리 대부분의 "Chosen Ones"는 과거의 사치가 없기 때문에 문지르는 것이 옳지 않은 것 같습니다.

내가 아는 건 ...

내가 살아있는 땅에 다시 합류했을 때, 라이트 이전 버전의 나에게 도움이 될만큼 친절했습니다. 나는 그 손을 잡고 하이 파이브를했고 내가 할 수있는 최선을 다해 그 모범을 따랐다.

이 모든 시간이 지난 후에 나는 나의 진정한 목적을 알지 못할 수도 있습니다. 큰 티켓의 실존 적 질문은 흑 마법사에게 맡깁니다.하지만 저는 이것을 압니다.

내 소명은 선을 행하는 것입니다. 항상 좋은 것은 아니지만 좋은 일을하세요. 차이가 있습니다.

그리고 "영웅"또는 "팀 플레이어"의 교과서 정의에 맞는 방식으로 항상 진행하지 않는 경우 — 나는 당신을보고 있습니다, Big Blue— 그냥 알아 ...

나 자신의 곡에 맞춰 춤을 출 수도 있지만 우리는 모두 똑같은 춤을 추고 있습니다 ...

아니면 그런 것.

오래 전에 나 자신과 거래를 했어요 ...

사람들이 도움이 필요하고 내가 도움을 줄 수 있다면 저도 그렇게 할 것입니다.

그래, 그 도움이 내 방식대로 약간의 전리품이나 호의를 돌려 주면 더 좋겠지 만 내가 훔친 캐시 나 숨겨둔 은닉처는 도움이 필요한 사람들에게 무언가를 제공하지 않은 적은 없었습니다. 많은 사람들이 그것을 알고 있지 않습니다. 괜찮아요. 자랑하고 싶지 않습니다.

사실, 저는 뱅가드의 삶을 원했던 적이 없었지만 그 가치를 보지 못했기 때문이 아닙니다. 그 가치가 나보다 다른 사람들에게 더 적합하다는 것뿐입니다. 게다가 내가하는 일을 할 수있는 사람은 거의 없습니다. 지옥, 거의 시도조차 할 것입니다. 제 말은, 어서 ... 나야.

내가 가본 곳. 내가 본 문제가 ... 원인이 ... 뭐든. Shiro, Andal, 승무원, 그리고 내가 꿈꾸던 가장 강력한 Titan보다 더 좋은 일을 할 때였습니다.

우리가 타오르는 흔적. 우리가 회수 한 보급품은 도둑 맞고, 더럽 히고, 사기를 당하고, 훔치고, 발견하고, 폭로하고, 약탈했습니다. 우리 만 그런 것은 아니었지만 우리 덕분에 도시 밖의 세상이 훨씬 더 커졌습니다.

네, 물론 그렇게 많이 나가지는 않지만 그것을 바꾸기 위해 고치고 있습니다.

Zavala는 그것을 좋아하지 않을 것입니다. Ikora는 항상 저를 설득하려고 노력할 것입니다. 그러나 우리는 우리의 빛이 얼마나 소중한 지 보았습니다. 얼마나 덧 없는지. 우리가 그것을 얻는 동안 그것을 사용해야합니다…

좋은 일을하다. 잘해라. 한계를 뛰어 넘으십시오. 우리의 것을 되 찾으십시오.

그리고 그것이 나의 첫 번째 내기였습니다. 올인. 첫째 날 나는 나 자신에게 내기를 걸었습니다.

나는 그 암흑 시대의 가장자리를 보았다. 당신은 이야기를 들었습니다. 그렇지 않은 경우 찾아보십시오. 무서운 물건. 진짜 눈을 뜨다. 나는 도시가 성장하는 것을 보았다. 그리고 가을. 그리고 다시 성장하십시오. 나는 우리 중 최고와 최악을 보았다. 그리고 저는 우리가 "최고"가 더 좋아지고 "최악"이 기억으로 사라지는 것을 볼 수 있도록 충분히 오래 머물러 있도록 노력할 것입니다.

그래서, 그래 ... 나는 시끄러운 입과 뽐내는 사람이고 칼날도 빠르고 무승부도 빠르다. 그리고 당신이 그것을 찾아 내고, 싸우고, 죽이고, 저장하고, 안전하게 보관하기 위해 숨겨야한다면, 더 잘할 수있는 사람은 거의 없습니다. 하지만 결국…

그가 좋았 기 때문에 나는 단지 좋다.

나는 나 자신에게서 배웠다고 생각한다. "나 전에 있었던 나"가 남긴 노트가 무대를 설정했다는 것. 그 Five는 그 어두운 시절에 Six가 그렇게 좋은 결과를 얻지 못하고 결국 Seven이 될 수 있다고 생각했습니다. 그래서 그 전 "나"는 나에게 더 나은 사람이 될 그의 버전에 대한 로드맵을 썼습니다.

그래서 어떤 핸드를 받았 든, 베팅을했을 때 콜할 때가되었습니다. 무슨 일이 있어도 저는 Ace와 Queen을 가지고있었습니다.

잃을 수 없다는 뜻입니다.

더 나은 사람이 항상 이길 것이라는 의미입니다.
