Let's get creative and post your own Ghost Fragments about your character below!
Here is what I'd like my Ghost Fragment to say (I warn you, it's a long one):
[b]Legend: Rossie[/b]
[spoiler]It is dark, so dark.
I cannot see my Guardian. I can faintly hear the shots from his handcannon and the whistle of his bow in the distance. These are the only sounds to be heard at all.
He is desparate, he has lost me in these black, jagged caves. My Light is starting to fade and so I will begin to erase the all of the data I have collected over the many years I spent with him. I recount what brought us here, to the moon:
[i]Zavala: Guardian, Cayde's scouts have picked up some strange Hive activity on the moon. I want you to go the centre of it and deal with them before they become an issue. I've transmitted the details to your Ghost. Good luck out there.
*upon arrival to Luna*
Eris: I sense something, the churning hellmouth has now fallen silent. Strange...
Something is happening. Find the source.
*at the gates of Temple of Crota*
Cayde: Guardian stop, you need to get out! The Hive are planning an ambu-
(radio crackling)
Ghost: Radios gone, we've lost them. What do you want to do?
Guardian: I don't like this. Somethings off. Let's get back to the ship. *A single roar is heard before everything turns black*[/i]
I rise to be separated from my Guardian in a dark, unmapped area of the Hellmouth hearing only faint gunfire and silence.
The seconds fly by and soon he has fallen silent. I am alone in the dark abyss of the Hellmouth where the shadows have eyes and the ground has teeth.
Then I begin to hear something far away. Almost a whisper in the night. The Hive are here and they are watching me. I try to find a path, something to lead me to outside but all I see is nothingness.
The whispers is louder now. I can begin to determine what the sound is. They are chanting quietly in the distance in some form of ritual. The same single word over and over. I begin to see a light as I move toward the chanting.
I can see him. But he is limp, and out of my reach. The Hive are in circle around his lifeless corpse, chanting and chanting with their hands risen, almost in gratitude.
They are larger the normal acolytes and knights found on the moon. They have broader shoulders with peculiar green energy spilling off them like mist. Their eyes are black and empty like the Darkness, instead of the green glow they usually have.
I try to reach him but I'm forced back by an unyielding power which blocks my quickly fading Light.
Their chanting grows louder and louder until an explosion of Darkness erupts from the body of the once Light filled Guardian I traveled with for so long. The mass of Darkness is writhing as I hide behind a rock, not daring to look. The Hive chanting now turns to screeching and roars as the ball of Dark takes its shape.
In a deep, low thundering voice the being roars "THERE IS LIGHT HERE, SHOW YOURSELF!"
I am propelled against my will out from behind the rock to face the creature. It's Darkness fills the whole room. Only a faint outline can be seen of it. It sees me and thunders
"LIGHT, I AM NOKRIS! AND I AM THE HERALD OF YOUR END!"
The Darkness swarms toward me and everything ceases.

My name is MercurySponge, so this is one about Mercury. IT'S SUPER LONG Legend: The Tunnels of Mercury [spoiler]"They're dark, and I thought they weren't dangerous. Turns out I was completely wrong. The thought of these tunnels kept me going, when I felt I couldn't anymore. I wanted to explore; until I heard what they really are." - Toland, The Shattered The tunnels of Mercury was a very long chain, a system that connected every underground cavern. When night rose, one headed down to these tunnels to keep safe; many harmful species rose at dusk and went back to hiding at dawn. These tunnels provided a surprising amount of comfort. Several guardians had spent many nights, even weeks, down here. Fewer were able to make it out; the ones that did lived off of decaying animals, sleeping in the cold areas of these warm underground passages. The food that these guardians had to feed off of, the decaying animals, had several diseases; passing on to the guardian who ate it. Once digested, the diseases caused major organ damage, and microbes were eating at the brain; long term brain damage due to this caused the guardian to go brain dead, leading to death. The ones who survived, able to exit these tunnels with the slightest bit of energy they had remaining, tried to find refuge. They had no possibility to find help; no devices to send a distress signal. Instead of dying inside the tunnels, their corpses were found on the surface of Mercury; barely unable to be identified, due to the intense heat of the surface of the tiny planet. One guardian lived to tell the legend of these tunnels; what happened to him to go down there, and how he was able to survive. He described that he surprisingly had a slight tolerance to the diseases of the decaying animals, which allowed him to survive longer than others ever had. He never used any emergency devices, which is how he was able to be rescued; he climbed out of the tunnels, and sent a distress signal. He waited several days, repeatedly sending these signals, until he finally got an answer. He was picked up, brought back to the Tower, and was treated back to normal conditions. Yes, he had a slight tolerance, but not enough to completely stop the disease spreading through his body. The Tunnels of Mercury have yet to be completely discovered, but all that is known is the tunnels are dangerous if you are not prepared.[/spoiler]
