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

Back to honor. Back to Andal.

 

Andal was my brother. Figuratively, but I find, more often than not, the family you unearth along the way is more real than the family you thought was the… Never mind. Andal was my brother. Period.

 

Taniks was the four-armed, murderin' Guardian hunter who… Yeah.

 

Andal and I… we made a bet. Only "bet" ain't the right word. Not among Hunters. What we did meant more. We offered a dare.

 

The Dare.

 

I to him. Him to me.

 

Kill Taniks or get chained to Vanguard duty. Hunt the hunter and come out on top, or wear a leash. This was our honor. Our word.

 

The Hunter Dare dates back to nobody-knows-when. There are all kinds of stories about the "First Dare," but there's no way to discern the truth of a thing done who-knows-when by who-knows-whom.

 

It was the First Dare that time a Hunter…

 

Oh, and mind you, this was waaaaay before anyone even imagined calling themselves "Hunters" or "Titans" or "Warlocks." This was Risen days. The Chosen weren't organized back then—no code—and didn't get it, no matter how much their Ghosts talked their ears off. Back when the first ones got their spark lit, they were just as likely to be a self-involved tyrant as a decent human being.

 

Ask me to tell you about the "Warlords" sometime. Ha! Bunch o' newly rezzed tough guys misusing the Light like a bunch o' ignoramuses… Ignorami? Regardless… Not a fan. But who is?

 

Am I ramblin'? Anyway…

 

That first challenge of honor between those who'd one day call themselves Hunters? Was it the Tuvel Valley Jump? The Shaderunners' Sprint? The Moonlight Draw? Kuba Sul's Last Stand? The Great Scrounge Hunt? The Lesser Scrounge Hunt? No one knows. I sure as heck don't.

 

But which was first don't matter. They were all first. They were all the Dare to set the table and inspire other Dares. What matters is, once a Dare was offered… if it was taken—it was took. It was on you. It was in you. Not metaphysically. I'm not talking Warlock hocus-pocus. I'm talking honor.

 

Accepting the Dare is giving your word.

 

So, Andal and I, we offered, accepted, and doomed ourselves, because we didn't take into account the depths of my arrogance.

 

Seems my arrogance is where it always falls apart…

다시 명예로. Andal로 돌아가.

Andal은 내 동생이었습니다. 비 유적으로 말하지만, 나는 당신이 길을 따라 발굴하는 가족이 당신이 생각했던 가족보다 더 현실적이라는 것을 더 자주 발견합니다. Andal은 내 동생이었습니다. 기간.

타닉스는 팔이 네 개인 수호자 사냥꾼이었는데 ... 그래.

Andal과 저는 ... 우리는 내기를했습니다. "내기"만 올바른 단어가 아닙니다. 사냥꾼 사이가 아닙니다. 우리가 한 것은 더 많은 것을 의미했습니다. 우리는 감히 제안했습니다.

감히.

나는 그에게. 나에게.

Taniks를 죽이거나 Vanguard 임무에 묶여 있습니다. 사냥꾼을 사냥하고 정상으로 나오거나 가죽 끈을 착용하십시오. 이것은 우리의 영광이었습니다. 우리의 말.

Hunter Dare는 아무도 모르는 때로 거슬러 올라갑니다. "First Dare"에 대한 모든 종류의 이야기가 있지만 누가-누가-누가-누가-언제를-누가-누가-누가-아는가에 의해 행해진 일의 진실을 분별할 방법이 없습니다.

헌터가 처음으로 감히…

오, 그리고 당신을 염두에 두십시오. 누군가 스스로를 "사냥꾼", "타이탄"또는 "워록"이라고 부르는 것을 상상하기 전에 이건 굉장했습니다. 이것은 부활 한 날이었다. 선택받은 자들은 그 당시 조직되지 않았고 코드도 없었고 그들의 고스트가 아무리 귀를 기울여도 그것을 얻지 못했습니다. 첫 번째 사람들이 불을 켰을 때, 그들은 괜찮은 인간만큼 자기 관여 폭군 일 가능성이 큽니다.

언젠가 "Warlords"에 대해 말해달라고 부탁하십시오. 하아! 무리 o '무지한 무리처럼 빛을 오용하는 새로 rezzed 터프가들… Ignorami? 어쨌든 ... 팬이 아닙니다. 그러나 누구입니까?

내가 어슬렁 거리는거야? 어쨌든…

언젠가 스스로를 사냥꾼이라고 부르는 사람들 사이의 명예의 첫 도전? 투벨 밸리 점프 였나요? Shaderunners의 스프린트? 문라이트 드로우? Kuba Sul의 마지막 스탠드? 그레이트 스크 런지 헌트? 레서 스크 런지 헌트? 아무도 모른다. 나는 도대체하지 않는다.

그러나 그것이 처음이었던 것은 중요하지 않습니다. 그들은 모두 처음이었습니다. 그들은 모두 감히 테이블을 설정하고 다른 감성을 자극했습니다. 중요한 것은 일단 Dare가 제공되면… 당신에게 있었어요. 당신 안에있었습니다. 형이상학 적이 아닙니다. 나는 워록 호 커스 포커스를 말하는 것이 아닙니다. 나는 명예를 말하고있다.

Dare를 받아들이는 것은 당신의 말을주는 것입니다.

그래서 Andal과 저는 제 오만함의 깊이를 고려하지 않았기 때문에 우리 자신을 제안하고 받아들이고 파멸 시켰습니다.

내 오만함이 항상 무너지는 곳인 것 같아…
