High above, atop the pinnacle, the sounds of battle reached the ears of the meditating figure, who turned his gaze from the star that hung over mercury to the fields below. What he saw took him aback: amidst the landscape of varying greys, a small sea of black now pulsated and flowed. Upon closer inspection, the sea seemed to be made up of many small black stains, a stark contrast against the bleak background. And there, at the base of the lighthouse, a small collection of tiny white lights moved and flowed. He could not make out the individual shapes at this distance, but he could guess.

With a low grunt of discontent, the great titan lifted his helm to his head, and slid it on. As his helmet's systems came online, he glanced down to the sword, floating just in front of him. Without a second thought he grasped the hilt in his hand, and pulled with all his might. Despite the giant's great strength, even enhanced by the field drivers in his armour, the blade refused to move, even the slightest bit, from its position a few inches off the floor in front of him. He added his other hand and pulled as hard as he could, but the sword's flames simply grew in intensity and brilliance, until he was forced to release it or burn his hands through his armour.

After another dissatisfied grunt, the giant turned and paced down the hall behind him, pausing only to collect his weapons from small alcoves along the walls. As he loaded his auto rifle, his ghost appeared beside him, glancing worriedly over his helm before speaking.

“I don’t think it’s a great idea to go charging into battle until you’ve adjusted to your new sight.”

The titan chambered the first round of the weapon, and continued towards the end of the hall.

“Unfortunately for you, sister Reria and the others are not here to agree with you. So to battle, I shall go.”

“There’s a small army of vex out there.”

“I’ve been through worse.”

“Are you done deflecting my valid concerns yet?”

The great figure stopped before the grav-lift to the lighthouse, looked over his shoulder towards his ghost, and smiled.

“The fight isn’t yet won. So…no.”

With a sigh, the ghost disappeared as the giant stepped into the lift, and descended towards the lighthouse below.
