【Destiny 2】Book: The Man They Call Cayde - Winner Take All

Taniks was a pain.

 

Turns out that wasn't the real problem—though it was high on the list at the time.

 

The real problem? The freak's STILL a pain. He ain't no Guardian, but the dude's been dead and not more times than I can track.

 

"Died" twice by my hand alone. Second time I even looked to deliver some insurance, but he was hauled off by his goons before I could add more lead to the collection I'd deposited in his chest… and neck… and gut… and head.

 

But that second time don't matter. I mean, it does, sure, but the important bit here is our first go-round…

 

When Andal and I made our bet that wasn't a bet but really a dare… THE Dare… we were eager and ready to track Taniks and hit him with some payback. I had the good luck of finding Taniks first. Had the good luck to kill him, too. So I thought.

 

So we all thought.

 

What followed was a party. Osiris even showed up. He and the Speaker had sent Saint-14 after Taniks as well, and maybe Sainty's one hell of a Titan—but we're Hunters. No way were we losing the kill.

 

Looking back, I wish maybe we had.

 

Andal kept his word—joined the Vanguard. I tried talking him out of it. We'd made the Dare in a compromised state… Shiro and I'd just been roughed up, Nian was gone, Lush was broken—emotions were high, liquid was flowing. Andal wasn't buying it. Neither was I. Not really.

 

The Dare's the Dare. To back out would've been a mark—would've called Andal into question to every Hunter out there. Even to me. I never would've admitted it to him. But he'd know.

 

Things got a little weird between us once he joined the Vanguard. All my doing. And I missed him. Didn't like seeing one of the best rule-breakers and world-walkers anyone had ever seen bogged down with bureaucrats. But the weirdness passed… Brothers don't stay mad at brothers, that's just the way it is.

 

As we settled into the new norm, the good times started to roll. They kept on rolling, too…

 

For a while, anyway.

Taniks는 고통이었습니다.

그 당시에는 목록에서 가장 높았지만 그것이 실제 문제는 아니 었습니다.

진짜 문제? 괴물은 여전히 ​​고통 스럽습니다. 그는 가디언이 아니지만 그 친구는 죽었고 내가 추적 할 수있는 시간보다 더 많지 않았습니다. 혼자서 두 번 "죽었다". 두 번째로 나는 보험을 제공하려고했지만, 그의 가슴과 목… 그리고 장… 그리고 머리에 넣어 둔 컬렉션에 더 많은 단서를 추가하기 전에 그는 그의 놈들에게 끌려갔습니다.

그러나 두 번째는 중요하지 않습니다. 물론 그렇습니다.하지만 여기서 중요한 부분은 첫 번째 해결 방법입니다.

Andal과 내가 내기가 아니라 정말 대담한 내기를했을 때… THE Dare… 우리는 열망했고 Taniks를 추적하고 그를 공격 할 준비가되어있었습니다. 먼저 타 닉스를 찾는 행운이있었습니다. 그를 죽일 행운도 있었다. 그래서 생각했습니다.

그래서 우리 모두 생각했습니다.

뒤 이은 것은 파티였습니다. 오시리스도 나타났습니다. 그와 대변자는 타 닉스를 쫓아 세인트 -14를 보냈고, 아마도 세인트는 타이탄의 지옥 같은 존재일지도 모르지만 우리는 헌터입니다. 우리가 살인을 잃는 것은 결코 아닙니다.

돌아 보면 아마 우리가 있었으면 좋겠다.

Andal은 그의 말을 지키고 선봉대에 합류했습니다. 나는 그에게 말을 걸어 보았다. 우리는 Dare를 타협 된 상태로 만들었습니다. Shiro와 나는 방금 거칠게되었고, Nian은 사라졌고, Lush는 깨졌습니다. 감정은 높았고 액체는 흘러갔습니다. Andal은 그것을 사지 않았습니다. 나도 아니었다.

감히 감히. 물러나는 것은 표식이되었을 것입니다. 안달을 불러 모든 헌터에게 의문을 제기했을 것입니다. 나에게도. 나는 그를 결코 인정하지 않았을 것입니다. 하지만 그는 알 것입니다.

그가 뱅가드에 합류하자 우리 사이는 조금 이상해졌습니다. 내 모든 일. 그리고 나는 그를 그리워했다. 누구도 본 적이없는 최고의 규칙 위반자이자 세계 워커 중 하나가 관료들과 함께 수렁에 빠지는 것을보고 싶지 않았습니다. 그러나 기이함은 지나갔습니다. 형제들은 형제들에게 화를 내지 않습니다. 그것이 바로 그 방식입니다.

우리가 새로운 규범에 정착하면서 좋은 시간이 시작되었습니다. 그들도 계속해서 ...

어쨌든 잠시 동안.
