Edited by Link: 7/15/2013 6:19:23 AMMy story's name is: "The City Of The Past" I circled around the epicenter of the city in my Sparrow, trying to survey the fight that was unfolding in front me. I hopped off of my Sparrow and searched for a building in this god forsaken city to watch the fight from. The Buried City. The name tacked on this city on account that this place is nearly completely buried in sand. Little is know about the city's past, other than the fact that it was taken over by a single, crazed Fallen captain dubbed as "The Unforgiving One". The story is that the captain's entire pack was killed during a raid on one of their hideouts near The Buried City. Apparently, it took 2 fire-teams to take out the pack but they didn't stand a chance against the captain. Do I believe it? No. Why? Because I was there. Being an Exo hunter, I tend to travel alone. I went to their hide-out alone and I alone took out the captain's pack. As for the captain....well....let's just say I barely escaped his rage. Now it's come back to haunt me. Other Guardians are dying by his hands and the only one to blame is me. I should've taken a team and I should've killed him in his hideout. But stubborn me didn't think ahead. I'm gonna make sure he I avenge every life he's taken. I hopped back on my Sparrow, equipped my Monitor S-11, and headed off to battle, confident that my life, as well as his, would end today. A sword in my chest and a dagger in his head, we lie in the warm sand of the city. His blades will never harm another again. I leave no regrets, as I die alone. As I die with satisfaction. As I die happy.
