Twas the Night Before Rise

Disclaimer [spoiler]This is just a short poem I threw together based on the great “Twas the Night Before Destiny”, not wanting to let the tradition die. Probably not my best work, and probably doesn’t match up with all the lore, but I don’t really care :P I’m posting it early so people can see it while we all wait for the expansion to drop. This will probably be my last one, as life is getting busy and I'm still on Last-Gen, so the hype is getting low for me :/[/spoiler] Twas the night before Rise as soon all would know. But in Saladin's eyes, this battle began long ago. The Iron Lords were heroes, who never met their match. Until the tragic day, they descended down that hatch. They had heard the reports. Sensors found something strange down in Rasputin's metal tomb far down, out of range. When at last they found it, it lashed out like a flood! Nanobots surging out, like tendrils of blood! Jolder knew what to do, and took aim with her Hammer. Though this would be her last act, she never paused, never stammered. She fought her way to the controls, "Stasis field charging! Doors set to close!" The Iron Lords sealed themselves with the Plague, suppressing it, until together they froze. With fear in his eyes, and a snarl on his nose, Saladin cries in horror! Pounding the doors as they closed! Saladin could not believe, what had just been done. The bravest team ever known, had now become... just one. ------------- Saladin mourns at this spot, every night, wolves in tow. His constant regret, he lets no one know. Stars shine bright in the Cosmodrome. Snow forms gentle, pristine layers, never seen, never touched, by filthy Last-Gen players. Alone, as always, he stands guard, as the Last. But this night, the Cosmodrome, was shook hard by a blast!! Soon the dust settles, and uncovers a scandal! An army of Fallen! No... ...something, is different about these vandals... Flesh merged with machine! Wires weaved between veins! With one voice, they all screech: "[i]Here[/i], SIVA [b]reigns[/b]!" "NO! It can't be!" But there ain't no disputin' that whatever they did, these Fallen now look like Rasputin. The army halts beneath the Wall. The Last City's defense still crumbles. The attacker's Captain walks forward. A twisted mutant, ready to rumble. Saladin follows in kind, and draws his flaming axe! His wolves follow his charge, guarding his rear as he hacks! The Fallen charge forward! Yet behind, others flee! "Get that cache to the ship!" was the Captain's final plea. All around Lord Saladin, burnt corpses lay. "..This, was, only the beginning" he pants "if they have truly unearthed, The Plague..." ------------------------------------------- In the weeks that follow, the Guardians regain Felwinter's Peak. After much searching, much killing, the Guardians find what they seek. Across the Plaguelands, among ancient, snowy dunes, they unearthed heroes' graves, recovering the needed boons. Joining pieces of warriors' armor, Saladin's project came to a head. A true tool of destruction, to honor the blood they shed. There was no time for a speech. Now was not the time for mourning. Lifting up his creation, Saladin smiles: "Now, is the time for [i]Gjallarhorning[/i]" On towers! On strongholds! The Guardians lay siege! Today, they must end this! To halt SIVA's deeds! Saladin marveled inside, that his friends could've seen, their final battle avenged, ending the Wrath of the Machine. -"This time will be different! Once more we are many, not few. These new Iron Lords are ready. After all, they survived Year 2..." Hope you all enjoyed, have a great year 3! Be sure to bump if you enjoyed it, and here are my other poems from Destiny 1.

This offer is open to everyone everywhere: [spoiler]Hello youtube people! I have an opportunity for you to get viewers! I write nice poems but I suck with videos. I wrote a poem that has 1000 likes on Bungie .net about the DLC that is coming out tomorrow. Bungie has a weekly "videos of the week" on Thursdays, but only accept videos. If anyone could read this poem and post it on your channel, I will link to it on Bungie.Net. If we win, then I get a cool item in the game and you get a bunch of views on your video channel. Everyone walks away happy :) Poem is here: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/213204675 feel free to read it however you think is most awesome. You know your voice better than I do. add Destiny pictures and/or video clips however you think is best. I give you full creative liberty, as I really can't make any money off this anyway lol. So just have fun with it :) This is open to both men and women, as either could be awesome. If anyone is interested, have at it and post a link here to the end result, you don't need any more approval from me. If more than one person does it, I'll just pick my favorite for the creation page but probably post all of them to the poem thread itself so you all get at least a little publicity :) Thanks, and have fun everyone :)[/spoiler]

  • Hey man this looks very similar to my HOW's poem 😉 Twas the night before house of wolves and it's getting chaotic. Everyone's impatient to get new exotics Xurned or earned I really dont give a blam My warlock will soon be wearing.... the helmet called Ram This really is destinys big joke. Cause everyone knows RNG is broke! Farming queens wrath bounties For a treasure chest key So far I have nothing My team mate has 3 The prison of elders is waiting to be played Its end game activity... but it isn't a raid How much butthurt did you really take? I didn't realise you were a special snowflake Apply some lube.... and get stuck in You will never have to bother with Crota again! Im geared up and ready to fight All I want is some etheric light The power on my gun is starting to linger I can not wait to ascend my fate-bringer It's so close and it is getting exciting To pop some heads and watch the firefly lightening Theres plenty of enemies we're going to face Dropping engrams all over the place The biggest problem will be lack of vault space. But before you know it... time will be spent and we'll all be crying for some new content As for me though, this isn't an issue If it applys to you, please take a tissue Then trade the game in.... because nobody will miss you! I do have a slight niggle with Osiris Trials Will bungie gift me a weapon if I say I have piles?? The fate of all fools is the gun I'am after But when I enter crucible I'm drowned out by laughter All I seem to do is just die When people blink around with the felwinters lie We all know the lie.... it's really a sniper 12yr olds with sugar rush acting all hyper Come the end of the game I'm still sat with a grin Atleast i know....... I'm not a virgin Despite your age, skills and the weapons you've gained Wether you have 3 characters... or just 1 that you mained Heavy breathers, munchers and squeekers... I'm not going to knock it Even the guy who pops his bubble when I'm firing a rocket Christmas noobs or players from the past Enjoy HOW.... it's going to be a blast! So lock and load guardians.... oil up that gun Scream, aim and fire.... this will be fun!!
