Artemis descended the steps into the hall of guardians, stopping short when approached Eris Morn who babbled away the tales of Crota. The women looked up to the huntress, lips curling into a smile.
"Ah, the huntress returns."She whispered, the girl nodding impatiently.
"Aye, and I believe you owe me a favor."She said, judging her reaction and continuing "how would one summon Dredgen Yor?"
Eris' hand paused it's rotation over her glowing orb and looked up to the huntress. Though the woman had a debt to pay, and she wasn't one to dissapoint.
"The summon has to be mutual, Dredgen must want to come. He has [i]changed[/i] huntress, he seeks power and thirsts for light." Eris began "back into the pit you will find a deathsingr, she will be your answer for he is her right hand. Beware Artemis...that is his territory"
The girl smiled and gave a slight bow in thanks, recognizing her debt had been paid. She climbed the steps and headed to the hangar, passing a bar, the girl freezing, lost in thought. Hades brought her out of her revere, the girl opening the comm channel.
"I'm heading back now...but uh hey, were we ever in a bar?"

She remembers his words 'Don't aim...just trust yourself' the ashes erupt into lightning and a human figure grabs Yor "Whos the foolish one now bitch?" he says as he looks at Artemis "Now Artemis!"
-
"You." the huntress said before releasing a volley of shots towards the guardian killer. Each bullet had hit it's mark as she fired, trusting both herself and the power of The Last Word.
-
Yor was slain with perfect precision, and the figure disappeared. "Bring the revolvers Shin, Yor's and mine. and after that, destroy the Thorn. And dont worry, I'll still be with you" And like that...his voice was gone.
-
The huntress sighed and quickly gathered the weapons as instructed, summoning Hades in her open palm. Without a word, he teleported Artemis to her ship, the girl sitting heavily into the chair. "Where to?"
-
"The village" His voice rung through her head as if he were sitting right next to her. "And tell my ghost what happened, he can help"
-
"Hades-"She began but was cut off by the little orb of light. "I'm on it." He said, directing the ship towards the village and relaying the message to his ghost. It took a while, but finally she landed on solid ground outside the village gates. Within moments the girl knocked on Shin's door.
-
"Artemis! Is Yor dead? And where's Aaron?" Shin asked with a concerned look
-
"The deed is done and I've kept my word."She began, holding out Wards hand cannon out to him. The girl looked away, thumb tracing over one of Leon's revolvers. "And for Le--Aaron, he's...around."
-
"Oh, well when you see him, tell him i said thanks. And keep the revolver, you deserve it. You have avenged my mentor and i thank you for that" he said with a smile. "Dont let his name be forgotten" he whispered as he looked into her eyes. "Never forget the name Leon, for he was the last. I dont know what he saw in you, but whatever it is, it was enough for him to die for."
-
The huntress looked to him and offered a small smile before looking away, his words digging into her. She had remembered everything from her past timeline; the bar mercury...the vault. She hadn't quite know why he had stayed by her side through time. She shook her head and gave shin a polite now. "You must excuse me, I've other matters to attend to."She said softly.
-
"You dont need to be excused, go and do what you must" he said with a smile as he retreated into his home.
-
Hades teleported her back to her ship, looking to her expectantly. "To Mercury we go."She said with a sigh, the ghost giving her an odd look. "Shouldnt we destroy the Thorn now?"He asked the girl shaking her head as they took off. "This is more important."the girl replied. They took off for mercury, the huntress closing her eyes for a few moments rest. The next time she had opened them they were landing on the very familiar tower of the lighthouse.
-
"Why Mercury?" the voice rung through her head. The voice fading every time it talks to her. As if it were dying.
-
"I'm not giving up."she said simply, Hades directing her through a series of winding tunnels, following coordinates to his ghost.
-
"Its too late for me"
-
"No, stop."She said, reaching the end of the tunnel which opened to a room. "Hades are you sure this is where his ghost is?" "98% sure.."
-
"And if it isnt? Then what"
-
"I don't know...I'll figure it out."She said, losing hope as she looked around the room.
-
"just why wont you give up on me, i want to know, its not like im extremely close to you or anything."

-
"And that was the answer i was looking for" a voice came from above, but it wasnt Leons, it was his ghosts
-
She opened her eyes and looked up, staring at his ghost and letting out a sigh of relief. "Okay, 100% sure."Hades piped up proudly, the girl rolling her eyes
-
"i know the story, he died and you came looking for me to revive him, correct?"
-
"That's the idea."She said looking up to the ghost with a hopeful look.
-
"Well i have good news and bad news, good news is that i can bring him back, bad news is it wont be in his old body. Meaning he needs a new one"
