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

Ever heard of Andal Brask?

 

Ya should've. One of the old heroes. Before Black Gardens and Hive gods and that Cabal-shaped mess we just cleaned up.

Yeah, he was… somethin'. Hunter part of the Vanguard before yours truly. More importantly…

 

He was my friend. A brother, even.

 

Andal and I used to run with one heck of a crew. This was before he got himself roped into fireteaming up with the top brass. Oh, we were legendary. Ran scouting parties looking for survivors to lead back City-side. Mapped lost sites where old tech or supplies might still be worth the salvage. Hunted plenty of Fallen. Never an easy task. Especially in the early days.

 

And by "early days," I mean my early days. Lot of Guardians been around longer than me, but even in my newborn new life, the City had a lotta growing up to do. And us Guardians had a hell of a lot to learn. Trouble is, we only ever seem to learn the hard way…

 

The Red War. That time Crota woke up cranky and slapped around more Guardians than I can count. Twilight Gap. And all the bad that happened before my time. The Iron Lords and their tussle with SIVA. …Six Fronts.

And those are just the headline grabbers. So many lessons learned. So many lives lost. But, in truth…

 

I've always felt it's the day-to-day struggles where we learn the most about the world, about ourselves. Being inside the City walls, sure, we're reminded of what we're fighting for. But outside the walls…?

 

It puts a face to all we've lost. Puts a reality to how far we've fallen. Abandoned roads, crumbling cities—rust and ruin, ruin and rust.

 

But if the City gives us reason to fight for the now, those old, dead places always give me hope for tomorrow. Rusted, broken skeletons or not… If you squint, you can see all we were and all we can be.

 

That's why, when Andal left the road and joined the Vanguard, me and the crew hoped he'd get the others—Osiris, Zavala, even the Speaker—to see what we saw. The City was a refuge, yeah, but if we hid too long, let all we'd lost get picked apart by pirates and warmongers, we'd lose our humanity.

 

Just like we lost Andal.

Andal Brask에 대해 들어 본 적이 있습니까?

그래야 했어. 오래된 영웅 중 하나입니다. Black Gardens와 Hive 신들과 기갑 단 모양의 엉망이되기 전에 우리는 방금 청소했습니다.
그래, 그는 ... 뭔가. 뱅가드의 헌터 부분은 진정으로 당신 앞에 있습니다. 더 중요한 것은…

그는 내 친구였습니다. 심지어 형제같은.

Andal과 나는 한 명의 승무원과 함께 달렸다. 이것은 그가 자신을 최고 황동과 함께 화력으로 묶기 전이었습니다. 오, 우리는 전설적이었습니다. 도시 측으로 돌아갈 생존자를 찾는 정찰 파티를 운영했습니다. 오래된 기술이나 보급품이 여전히 회수 할 가치가있는 잃어버린 사이트를 매핑했습니다. 몰락자를 많이 사냥했습니다. 결코 쉬운 일이 아닙니다. 특히 초기에.

그리고 "초기"란 나의 초기를 의미합니다. 많은 수호자들이 나보다 더 오래 있었지만, 새로 태어난 새 삶에서도시는 할 일이 많았습니다. 그리고 우리 수호자들은 배울 게 정말 많았습니다. 문제는, 우리는 어려운 방법으로 만 배우는 것 같습니다.

붉은 전쟁. 그 때 Crota가 깨어나서 내가 셀 수있는 것보다 더 많은 수호자 주위를 때렸다. 황혼의 간격. 그리고 내 시대 이전에 일어난 모든 나쁜 일. 아이언로드와 SIVA와의 싸움. … 6 개의 전선.

그리고 그것들은 헤드 라인 그래버 일뿐입니다. 배운 많은 교훈. 많은 목숨을 잃었습니다. 하지만 사실…

나는 항상 우리가 세상에 대해, 우리 자신에 대해 가장 많이 배우는 것이 매일의 투쟁이라고 느꼈습니다. 성벽 안에 있으면 확실히 우리가 무엇을 위해 싸우고 있는지 생각 나게됩니다. 하지만 벽 밖에서…?

그것은 우리가 잃어버린 모든 것에 얼굴을 둡니다. 우리가 얼마나 멀리 떨어졌는지 현실을 보여줍니다. 버려진 도로, 무너져가는 도시 — 녹과 파멸, 파멸과 녹.

하지만 시가 지금 당장 싸울 이유를 준다면 그 오래되고 죽은 곳은 항상 내일에 대한 희망을줍니다. 녹슬거나 부러진 해골이든 아니든… 눈을 가늘게 뜨고 보면 우리의 모습과 우리의 모습을 모두 볼 수 있습니다.

그래서 안달이 길을 떠나 뱅가드에 합류했을 때 나와 승무원은 오시리스, 자 발라, 심지어 대변자까지 우리가 본 것을 볼 수 있기를 바랐습니다. 도시는 피난처 였지만, 너무 오래 숨 으면 잃어버린 모든 것이 해적과 전쟁 꾼들에게 흩어지게 놔두면 인류를 잃게 될 것입니다.

Andal을 잃은 것처럼.
