New Light (Chapter 18) - A Destiny 2 Story

Cayde-6 x Guardian

The next day, when I walked into the Hall for our weekly Vanguard, I felt Cayde’s eyes on me as I took my spot beside him at the table. Zavala started by reviewing recent Strike missions, and what he says begins to drown out. I didn’t know what caused it, but suddenly, a cold wind washed over me, making me sway on my feet as my vision blurred for a bit. Ikora was the first to notice, raising her hand to stop Zavala. 

“Ruby?” She said; I tried to step back, but my balance was gone, and I began to fall. Cayde was there instantly, catching me and walking me over to a chair so I could sit. He got down to my eye level, concern written all over his face. “Ruby, what’s wrong?” He asked as he held my hand. The whole thing sent warm shivers down my spine. As my vision returned, I shook the feeling away, and the cold wind disappeared. 

“I’m fine,” I assured him, pulling my hands free and standing. “I just need a moment,” I strode out of the Hall and enjoyed the cool autumn breeze, trying to compose myself. What the hell happened to me in there? I was fine one minute; the other, I felt like someone was crushing my heart. It was so sudden then it was gone. 

“Ruby, are you alright?” Stell asked as I leaned over the railing, looking out over the City.

“I should be. I don’t know what caused that. Did you register anything out of the ordinary?” 

“Just an increase in heart rate. The same as if you were having a nightmare.” 

“Hmmm. weird.” What could have caused me to have the symptoms of a waking nightmare? 

“Ruby!” I heard and turned to see Cayde running over. “You alright? I was worried when you blanked out in there. I know Zavala can be boring, but we got to try and stay awake.” He joked but then looked to Stell, who was shaking no. 

“I’m fine now, Cayde. No need to worry.” I assured him, brushing past to return to the Hall. 

“Ruby, please.” He said, grabbing my arm. “I’m sorry.”

“Let me go, Cayde,” I grumbled, not turning to look at him.

“If I had the choice.” 

I turned on a dime and faced him. “But you do, Cayde. You do have the choice, and you choose no. So don’t tell me to let it go. Let me move past it my way.” 

He let me go, accepting defeat as I made my way back. 

“Everything alright, Ruby?” Zavala asked as I took my seat. 

“It’s fine,” I assured him. I was sounding like a broken record now. 

“Good. While you stepped out, we got a transmission from a Cabal base on Phobos. The signal is blasting on all channels. If they are willing to break transmission silence, this could be a prelude to a full-scale assault.”

“Want me to check it out?”

“Right away. We need to know what is going on.” 

“On it,” I confirmed, turning to leave and brushing past Cayde without another word. I stopped at Banshee to stock up and saw my fire team chilling out nearby. 

“Ruby!” Finely yelled as he walked over with the team. “We hear congratulations are in order,” he stated, patting me on the back. I looked at him, confused. You are second in command of the Hunters now, are you not?” 

I laughed. “Right. Yeah, sorry. I meant to tell you all, but I’ve been busy.” “You are busy helping run the Vanguard now we get it,” Sky said, joining in on the laughter

“Not today, I’m not. I’m on my way to Phobos to see what the Cabal is up to,” I explained as I paid Banshee and headed towards the Hangar. 

“Need help?” Iroh asked, sounding interested. 

“I would only be able to take Hunters since I can give them the okay to fly.” Finely and Iroh’s faces lit up. 

“Give us five minutes?” Iroh asked. “Yea. I will send you the coordinates and meet you there.” The rest of the team looked jealous as the two Hunters took off to get ready.
