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

Case you can't tell, I ain't the best storyteller. I can be. Boy howdy, can I rip a yarn! Don't believe me? Ask C.C. Don't believe him? Ask the Colonel. Those two have heard things you wouldn't believe.

 

Just that, this…? What I'm doing here, the whole "based on a true story" thing? I can feel myself trying to talk around what I want to say, fill it with the ol' poop and circumstance. I'm trying, though. Fighting my… better angels, to get to what I need to say. And what I need to say starts with Andal.

 

Andal and the Dare.

 

My Dare. Our Dare.

 

The Hunters' Dare.

 

It's a stupid thing.

 

But it's an honor thing.

 

And it cost me my friend—I cost me my friend.

 

But before the Dare, we had Taniks. Hell… After the Dare we had Taniks. After my Dare we had Taniks. Always comes back to Taniks, don't it?

 

For the uninitiated, Taniks is a Fallen mercenary with no House but the House that pays him. Most Fallen won't deal with him.

 

But when a Captain, or an Archon, or a Kell needs something done and their crews ain't cutting it—or, when they want a job done real hush-hush—they call Taniks.

 

Back in the day, me, Shiro, Andal, and a few others got on radars we'd rather stay off. The Fallen Houses put out bounties. Lotta Glimmer on our heads. Lotta Ether. Taniks took the gig. Only we didn't know. There'd been stories of a renegade Fallen dropping bodies, but nothing ever concrete, so we just brushed them off as more of the same. Nothing we couldn't handle, even on an off day.

 

I mean, we were all aware the Fallen were dangerous—big-time threat, each day, every day. But a solitary Fallen boogeyman, free of House, cutting down Guardians one by one? Ha, yeah right.

 

Until "yeah right" was standin' in front of us.

 

First impression… He was a big boy. Bad attitude.

 

Second… He was standin' over the body of Nian Ruo. Didn't know her well, but we'd done a few runs. That day was supposed to be an in-and-out'er. But then… Taniks.

 

Nian never got back up, and Shiro's boy Lush lost his Ghost—full-on RTL, returned to Light. Gone and done.

The whole scene was a blur. Lost our haul and hauled our butts outta there. Still not sure how we lost Taniks and his boys. Just lucky we did.

 

'Course, ditchin' that troublemaker wasn't the end.

 

Shiro and I got back, filled Andal in on the what-went-down soon as we found him. This was before his Vanguard days. He'd been running a second grab on a cache out west. Wasn't back till the next night.

 

We told him about Nian. Lush was freaking out about his Ghost. Couldn't blame him. Still can't.

 

Then we did the dumb thing.

 

We got cocky.

당신이 말할 수없는 경우, 나는 최고의 이야기꾼이 아닙니다. 나는 될수있다. 안녕, 실을 찢어도 돼! 나를 믿지 않습니까? C.C. 그를 믿지 않습니까? 대령에게 물어보십시오. 그 두 사람은 당신이 믿지 못할 것을 들었습니다.

그게, 이거…? 내가 여기서하고있는 것은 "실화를 바탕으로 한"모든 것? 나는 내가 말하고 싶은 것을 말하고, 그 똥과 상황을 채우려 고 노력하는 것을 느낄 수 있습니다. 그래도 노력하고 있어요. 내 ... 더 나은 천사들과 싸우고, 내가 말해야 할 것을 얻기 위해. 그리고 제가 말해야 할 것은 Andal에서 시작됩니다.

Andal과 Dare.

내 감히. 우리의 감히.

사냥꾼의 감히.

어리석은 일입니다.

그러나 그것은 영광스러운 일입니다.

그리고 그것은 제 친구를 희생 시켰습니다. 저는 제 친구를 희생 시켰습니다.

그러나 Dare 이전에는 Taniks가있었습니다. 지옥… 감히 후에 우리는 Taniks를 가졌다. 나의 Dare 후에 우리는 Taniks를 가졌다. 항상 타 닉스로 돌아 오지 않나요?

초심자에게 타 닉스는 집이없는 타락한 용병입니다. 대부분의 몰락자는 그를 다루지 않을 것입니다. 하지만 선장, 집정관, 켈이 뭔가를해야하는데 승무원이 그것을 잘라 내지 않을 때, 또는 그들이 진짜 허쉬 한 일을하고 싶을 때 그들은 Taniks를 부릅니다.

예전에는 나, 시로, 안달, 그리고 몇몇 다른 사람들이 우리가 차라리 벗어나고 싶어하는 레이더를 탔습니다. Fallen Houses는 현상금을 내놓았습니다. 우리 머리에 Lotta Glimmer. 로타 에테르. Taniks가 공연을 맡았습니다. 우리만이 몰랐습니다. 배신자 몰락자가 시체를 떨어 뜨리는 이야기가 있었지만 구체적인 내용은 없었기 때문에 우리는 그저 똑같이 털어 버렸습니다. 쉬는 날에도 처리 할 수없는 것은 없습니다.

내 말은, 우리 모두는 몰락자가 위험하다는 것을 알고있었습니다. 매일, 매일 큰 위협이되었습니다. 하지만 집에서 해방 된 고독한 몰락 자 부기맨이 수호자를 하나씩 쓰러 뜨리는 건가요? 하, 맞아.

"그래 맞아"가 우리 앞에 서있을 때까지.

첫인상… 그는 큰 소년이었습니다. 나쁜 태도.

둘째… 그는 Nian Ruo의 몸 위에 서있었습니다. 그녀를 잘 몰랐지만 몇 번 뛰었습니다. 그날은 안팎으로 진행되어야했습니다. 하지만 ... 타 닉스.

Nian은 절대 다시 일어나지 않았고, Shiro의 소년 Lush는 고스트를 잃고 RTL을 완전히 잃고 Light로 돌아 왔습니다. 끝났다.

전체 장면이 흐릿했습니다. 우리의 견인력을 잃어 버리고 우리의 엉덩이를 거기에서 끌어 냈습니다. 우리가 타 닉스와 그의 아들들을 어떻게 잃었는지 아직 확실하지 않습니다. 우리가 한 것은 행운입니다.

'코스, 디친'이 끝이 아니었다는 말.

Shiro와 나는 돌아 왔고 Andal이 그를 발견하자마자 무슨 일이 있었는지에 대해 채웠다. 이것은 그의 선봉대 시대 이전이었습니다. 그는 서쪽에있는 캐시를 두 번째로 잡았습니다. 다음날 밤까지 돌아 오지 않았습니다.

우리는 그에게 Nian에 대해 말했습니다. Lush는 그의 고스트에 대해 무서워했습니다. 그를 비난 할 수 없었다. 여전히 할 수 없습니다.

그런 다음 우리는 멍청한 일을했습니다.

건방진....
