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

Taniks didn't announce himself. Didn't say a word. Just laughed a few times and tried like hell to kill us all. But we knew it was him. The stories matched the story, ya know? Which meant the boogeyman had a face—the boogeyman was REAL.

 

We could hunt "real."

 

We could track "real."

 

We could end "real."

 

Andal said something like, "The hunter is about to become the hunted at the hands of the Hunters he'd hunted." I know. Don't laugh. I didn't. He was a great guy, even if his humor was… a bit… "forced" seems like a nice way to put it. But he wasn't wrong.

 

Lush wanted to join up—a little payback for his little Light—but we nixed that. Loved the kid, but no Ghost meant no way. Poor fella died his final death, RTL, less than a cycle later; went on a run solo, didn't tell anyone, never came back. Shiro used to spin stories about him—still does. Like he's still out there, living a life we only dream of—traveling unknown roads, digging up untold treasures.

 

My favorite's the one about the Rat King—how Lush joins up with a folktale, and together they fight the wars we don't see. It's just fantasy, but I like it. It's the kind of bedtime story I used to tell Ace as he was fighting off sleep, when he was here.

 

But he's not here.

 

Neither is Lush.

 

Neither is Andal.

 

And someday, neither will I.

 

Didn't have a Hunter Vanguard back then, what with Kauko Swiftriver finally being declared dead after two years MIA and his Dare nowhere to be found. Speaker said it was on the rest of us Hunters to figure it out.

 

That first night back, Andal and I were up late. Not a new thing. He drank. I drank. He got tanked. I'm a robot. And we made the pact.

 

Dare issued and accepted.

 

See, there was that opening on the Vanguard, Hunter slot. We both wanted Taniks. Only one would get the killing blow, and the glory. The loser had to hang 'em up… and lock themselves away in a Tower. Leave the lonely roads to real-dealers.

 

We both laughed.

 

Wow. I wish I could hear him laugh again.

 

Just once.

 

Funny how all the cool kids leave the party too soon.

Taniks는 자신을 발표하지 않았습니다. 한마디도 안했어. 몇 번 웃고 우리 모두를 죽이려고 지옥처럼 노력했습니다. 하지만 우리는 그 사람이라는 것을 알고있었습니다. 이야기가 이야기와 일치 했어, 알지? 이것은 boogeyman이 얼굴을 가졌다는 것을 의미합니다. boogeyman은 진짜였습니다.

우리는 "진짜"를 사냥 할 수 있습니다.

"진짜"를 추적 할 수 있습니다.

"진짜"로 끝낼 수 있습니다.

Andal은 "사냥꾼은 그가 사냥 한 사냥꾼의 손에 사냥감이 될 것입니다."라고 말했습니다. 알아. 웃지 마. 나는하지 않았다. 비록 그의 유머가 ... 조금 ... "강제"라는 표현이 좋은 표현이라고해도 그는 훌륭한 사람이었습니다. 그러나 그는 틀리지 않았습니다.

Lush는 그의 작은 빛에 대한 약간의 보상을 원했지만 우리는 그것을 거부했습니다. 그 아이를 사랑했지만 고스트는 아무 의미가 없습니다. 불쌍한 친구는 그의 마지막 죽음 인 RTL로 1 주기도 채 안되어 죽었습니다. 솔로로 달리고, 아무에게도 말하지 않았고, 돌아 오지 않았습니다. Shiro는 그에 대한 이야기를 돌리 곤했지만 여전히 그렇습니다. 그가 아직 밖에있는 것처럼, 우리가 꿈꾸는 삶을 살고 있습니다. 알 수없는 길을 여행하고 수많은 보물을 파헤칩니다.

내가 가장 좋아하는 것은 Rat King에 관한 것입니다. Lush가 민화에 합류하고 우리가 보지 못하는 전쟁에 함께 싸우는 방법입니다. 환상 일 뿐인데 좋아해요. 에이스가 여기있을 때 잠을 자지 못하고 싸우는 동안 내가 Ace에게 말했던 취침 이야기의 종류입니다.

그러나 그는 여기에 없습니다.

Lush도 마찬가지입니다.

Andal도 마찬가지입니다.

그리고 언젠가 나도 마찬가지입니다.

그 당시에는 Hunter Vanguard가 없었습니다. Kauko Swiftriver는 MIA와 그의 Dare를 찾을 수없는 2 년 후에 마침내 사망 한 것으로 선언되었습니다. 연사는 그것을 알아내는 것이 나머지 사냥꾼들에게 있다고 말했습니다.

그 첫날 밤, Andal과 나는 늦게 일어났습니다. 새로운 것이 아닙니다. 그는 마셨다. 나는 마셨다. 그는 탱탱했다. 나는 로봇입니다. 그리고 우리는 협정을 맺었습니다.

감히 발행되고 수락되었습니다.

뱅가드 헌터 슬롯에 그 구멍이 있었어 우리 둘 다 Taniks를 원했습니다. 오직 한 사람 만이 살인 타격과 영광을 얻을 것입니다. 패자는 그들을 매달고… 타워에 가두어 야했습니다. 외로운 길은 실제 딜러에게 맡기십시오.

우리 둘 다 웃었다.

와. 그가 다시 웃는 소리를 들었 으면 좋겠어요.

딱 한번.

멋진 애들이 너무 빨리 파티를 떠나는게 재밌네요.
