{Cutscene}

In the Tower, the Guardian meets with The Speaker.


 * THE SPEAKER: There was a time when we were much more powerful. But that was long ago. Until it wakes and finds its voice, I am the one who speaks for The Traveler.

The Speaker shows the Guardian the Traveler hovering above The City.


 * THE SPEAKER: You must have no end of questions, Guardian. In its dying breath, The Traveler created the Ghosts to seek out those who can wield its Light as a weapon—Guardians—to protect us and do what the Traveler itself no longer can.


 * GUARDIAN: What happened to it?


 * THE SPEAKER: I could tell you of the great battle centuries ago, how the Traveler was crippled. I could tell you of the power of The Darkness, its ancient enemy. There are many tales told throughout the City to frighten children. Lately, those tales have stopped. Now... the children are frightened anyway. The Darkness is coming back. We will not survive it this time.


 * GHOST: Its armies surround us. The Fallen are just the beginning.


 * GUARDIAN: What can I do?


 * THE SPEAKER: You must push back the Darkness. Guardians are fighting on Earth and beyond. Join them. Your Ghost will guide you. I only hope he chose wisely.

The Speaker leaves.


 * GHOST: I did. I'm sure of it. We're in this together now.
