Zavala looked up to see the Warlock he requested to see. "Warlock, as you already know, Ikora briefed me on this mission of yours. I was going to deny lifting you above the laws with the Ahamkara, until news reached me." "As of fifteen-hundred hours yesterday, two fireteams of six were dispatched to Venus to check up on an outpost set-up near the volcanic region of the Ishtar Sink that went silent. We haven't heard from them since. Until now." He reached over and pressed a button, replaying an audio transmission. "[i]This is Ryan Vulcan of fireteam Comet, we've arrived on Venus at the outpost with fire Cobalt. Entire outpost has been wiped out.[/i] "[i]Man there's a lot of bodies here, what the heck happened here?[/i] Said someone in the background. [i]"Dunno, this place is giving me the creeps though."[/i] [i]"Wait!"[/i] Someone said in a hushed voice. There was a long moment of silence. Then what sounded like a deep growl filled the audio. "[i]What is-"[/i] A loud roar filled the audio. "[i]Contact!"[/i] Gunfire sounded, along with the shouts and orders of the two fireteams. It went on like this for five minutes until everything went silent." Zavala pressed the button again. "That was the last we heard from the two fireteams. I've lifted the Ahamkara laws for the next twenty-four hours. The only reason I do this is because recently, there has actually been an Ahamkara sighting."

Garuud a Titan overhears the conversation as he was grabbing abandoned quests " A Ahamkara...... I always wanted to ride one!" Garuud said as he began listening. "It will probably eat you!" A completely different voice said out of his mouth. " Nah, we would just punch it do death and use its fire to cook Mexican food for days!" Another voice said out of his mouth. "Its settled then! Were hunting Ahamkaras!" Garuud yelled to seemingly no one as he walked over to Zavala and the warlock.

Alice had none of her gear on, her Ghost hidden, no visible mark of her Guardian status. She stood at a terminal nearby, prepared to listen to the entire conversation in silence. Then a Titan decided to walk over and completely stuff with the entire conversation. Alice sighed. "Aprill, prepare to transmat my gear onto me when I say." Alice whispers. [i] "Already in place." [/i] Aprill states in a whisper. "Good." Then she leaned into the Terminal, waiting and listening patiently.

"So whats this I hear about ahamkara? Spill da beans zavi? For me pumpkin?" Garuud says with a smile.

"You don't understand. I want to talk to one, kill it if I have to, to get information on how we can further the so-called 'sub-classes'. You know what we can do with the darkness, but even with both powers we are restricted from gaining our full potential. I want to know how to break the lock, let us free." Warbuilt says. "Imagine Titans being able to blink, not only for short distances, but long ones too, or larger nova bombs, possibly ways to even immediately destroy any enemy around. The enemies we face get worse every day and something like a new trick would help." [spoiler]Cant really say anything else.[/spoiler]

[i]As the Warlocks search for a way to find an Ahamkara in the Vanguard Hall, a screech is heard in the Courtyard of the Tower, and an Ahamkara flies down from above, landing on the arm of a Guardian—a Hunter with a big reputation for being a member of the long-gone group of Hunters known as the Six Coyotes. He is also known for being the only Guardian to have an Ahamkara assist him. He was only known as Gage Reaver, the Nighthawk and his Ahamkara that was his best friend, Nightingale or Night, as Gage calls him. Gage looked around at the other Guardians who were aiming their weapons at Nightingale. He took a step to the side and revealed his hand cannon to the Guardians aiming at his Nightingale, and the moment he did they all lowered their weapons. His hand cannon was known for being able to pierce through almost any surface and would always leave a huge gaping hole in anything it was fired at. As the Hunter turned back to look back out at the City, he heard footsteps behind him and looked to see a Warlock. The Warlock was looking at Nightingale. [/i]

(I'm guessing after the Vanguard 'meeting'.) "Does he talk? Would make my job a hell of a lot easier." Warbuilt said pointing at the Ahamkara. His ghost appears next to him floating closer to scan the small Ahamkara. [i]Poor guy must be controlled by it. The Deal with the Dragon.[/i] [spoiler]Extremely short, sorry. Not enough to go off of.[/spoiler]

[i]Gage looks back at the Warlock[/i] "Night does not control me. He is some different form of Ahamkara that is more a bird than a dragon. He and I are close friends, so he would never even attempt to control me." [i]Nightingale caws and looks at Gage and then at the Warlock[/i] "I do in fact speak. Do not make any attempt to attack me unless you want a hole burned through you." [spoiler]I'm at school right now[/spoiler]

Zavala had come with the Warlock outside to investigate the disturbance outside, only to find an Ahamkara with a Hunter. Though he said, along with the Ahamkara that they were no threat unless attacked first, he was still uneasy about it. No matter what it said, it was still an Ahamkara, but he continued to stay absolutely resolute. Once he told the Guardians looking to return to their activities, he returned to the matter at hand. "I can now say that there have now been [i]two[/i] Ahamkara sightings." He looked at the Warlock. "Yes, this one," he glanced at the Ahamkara currently present, "is not the one that has been sighted."

Alice watched from the distance. Careful to not draw attention to herself, then she walked forward towards the Ahamkara and it's Hunter. "Aprill? My gear please." Alice says, then her gear begins to form around her, pixels appearing from the toe of her boots to the end of her cloak. By the time she reached the Hunter, she now wears the bog gear with Vermillion Helmet, Sunsetting shader and the Dead Zone Revolution cloak. But the weapons were what took the focus. Not the Scout rifle or Sniper rifle, but the three swords in their sheaths. One on her left hip, one on her back, and the other on her right hip. Alice walks straight to the Hunter, no fear at all, then states a single word while looking up at the Ahamkara. "Beautiful."

Garuud heard the commotion and walked out to the main area. He spied the odd looking hunter with the small Ahamkara on his arm. "Hey you! Whats up with the bird?? Does he eat crackers? Does he know where the larger Ahamkara are? The writers want to know!" *Indicating the sky above* " I need to add to my collection! I want to make something.... unique." *Garuud said as he pulled a red gem and teeth from his pouch* [spoiler] From the fight That alice and I had in another rp (venus one) with other Ahamkara.[/spoiler] "I have experience hunting them, but they have gone quiet for the most part."

[i]-Nightingale cawed in annoyance-[/i] [i][b]"I haven't seen another one of my kind ever since you Guardians hunted them all. Gage raised me after he found me on Venus. Even if I did know the location of another Ahamkara, why would I tell you? You would just kill more of my kind, and I won't let it happen. That volcano on Venus houses no Ahamkaras. Gage and I have searched it countless times. There are no Ahamkaras there. If there were any Ahamkaras left, I'd know. I can sense them. The last time I sensed one was just before you killed that Ahamkara a few days ago. If all you wanted to know was where another Ahamkara is, I have nothing for you."[/b][/i]

Ginger considers it, pensively, and then interjects "You contradict yourself. Surely if you wanted to protect your species, as you claimed you did, it would be logical to hide their identity. You even said that you wouldn't tell us, and then later backtracked to claim that there were none. Forgive me for being suspicious, but this is... Important information, to say the least." He circles around the beast "You know, what your kin carry in their genes, in their very essence, could change the very dynamic of this conflict, open up new possibilities for big of our races. A new chance for your species. Should you withhold information from us, it benefits no one."

The sudden amount of guardians interested in his hunt did not surprise Warbuilt in the least. They thought that they were going to kill one. That was the last thing he was going to do, if necessary. [i]Damnit Zavala![/i] he thought. "You know they are there! They have to be! They fly around the Citadel all the time its closest place where they can be safe." His ghost flys back towards Warbuilt and disappears. "To any who wanted to come with me who thought they were going to kill an Ahamkara, we are going to interrogate it, not kill. That will require injuring it only. You have nothing to fear, I will not hurt your race if I don't have to." That's when the whispers returned for a short but but he managed to clear them out of his head. [spoiler]The Whispers are from the Claws of Ahamkara, of dead Ahamkara.[/spoiler]

This was good. With the sudden appearance of Guardians, this unorthodox hunt of the Warlock's would be somewhat easier. Zavala was about to speak, when he heard the sound of footsteps quickly coming from behind. He turned to see Cayde running from the Hall of Guardians. "Hey, Zavala-" He interrupted him. "Cayde, whatever it is, it can wait until I can get things organized here." Cayde crossed his arms. "Well, I guess you don't wanna know that a transmission from the fireteams that we sent to Venus came through." Zavala turned to face him. "What?!" Cayde put his fists on his hips and have an Exo version of a smirk. "Oh, now you're interested with what I have to say." Without a second to waste, Zavala ran back towards the Hall. Cayde followed, but not before turning around at the collection of Guardians. "By the way; cool parrot." Then ran back from where he came from, probably with the Guardians close behind. Zavala was already at his end of the table, listening in on the latest transmission. "[i]This is Ryan of fireteam Comet, I'm sending this,[/i] a grunt was heard from the transmission, [i]transmission as a one way message. We were attacked, everyone's dead. Commander, the data from this outpost, contained information on the Vault of Glass, and it is all gone.[/i] Another grunt was heard, followed by a hushed curse from the Guardian on Venus. "[i]I don't have long. They destroyed my Ghost, and I'm bleeding out. Sir, send a team out here quick, a good one. What attacked us, it... It was the Reborn. And they aren't the only ones. The Ahamkara is here.[/i] The [i]Ahamkara. He's here. I won't-[/i]" A loud crash sounded, seconds later an explosion filled the audio. Then there was nothing but static. Zavala terminated the signal. His skin turned a paler color. "By the Traveler. Shovaroth is back."

Back at the main group, Alice looks up at night. "You are Ahamkara, yes, I can sense it. But your, different. You have a different blood flowing through those Bird Veins of yours. That is why you do not sense them. For you are not [i]one[/i] of them." She raises her hand slowly toward the creature. "You don't even know your real name, do you?" Alice then snaps back to reality, noticing the odd looks she has been getting from all the Guardians. "Ahh..." Alice says. "What I mean by that i-"

"Yeah! Your real name! Like that guy over there! " indicating ginger " his real name is Moe I know....(whispering) because I heard him in the bathroom. I'm pretty sure they was a Larry and a curly around here somewhere too." Looking at the parrot " you are more a bird than anything else. And besides I only killed them when they tried and failed to kill me. But if they're willing to talk I won't kill any. That's not my job hahaha"
