Take ur time m8

So, when is the next chapter?

Is part 16 taking this long to write? The hype is real!!!!!! [spoiler]Don't worry if it is. The longer, the better in my opinion.[/spoiler]

Hey Ghost, I think I may have figured out who the mysterious warlock is at the end! [spoiler]The clue was in the fireteam name.[/spoiler]

Right, so you've already seen my other comment regarding how your story should not be placed in #lore, but you do have lore "fun facts" preluding them (which seems like a poor cop-out loophole to give you an excuse to keep positing in #lore if you ask me), but whatever. Let's talk lore. [quote]Here's your Lore Fun Fact of the day: Guardians don't fire regular bullets out of their guns. Each round is infused with Light energy, giving us the ability to destroy powerful Darkness entities with "terrestrial bullets" as Cayde puts it.[/quote]So right off the bat, you're making a high claim about the way Guardian weapons function. It's a good theory and all, except that it's completely wrong. First off, let's look at the quote you use to support your claim.[spoiler][b]Eris:[/b] The Taken are not bound by terrestrial constraints! [b]Cayde:[/b]Yeah, I'll bet they'll be constrained by terrestrial bullets.[/spoiler] So, given the quote and the surrounding context, we can infer that Eris is saying that the Taken are not bound by regular earthly (aka terrestrial) things, such as walls, structures, and whatnot. Cayde calls the bullets terrestrial. Meaning earthly, and by very definition themselves, not magical. Or space-magical, I guess. This is also supported by various Cayde/Banshee quotes about how Light abilities are a good compliment to guns, but note that the way that they are talked about suggests that they are [i]separate.[/i] Lastly, we can look at the enemy races. Hive weapons are literal magic, and Vex weapons are some sort of Vex energy conduit thing, so the elemental properties makes sense. So what about the Fallen or Cabal? Well, the Fallen utilize shock cores to power their Arc based weapons, and superheat shards of metal for their Solar weaponry. Their Null cannon is said to be some sort of void spike taken from experimentation with the Hive, but we have yet to have seen these void spikes in Hive territory, so we can only assume that the Splicers used the crystals to somehow [i]tap into[/i] Void energy. Cabal weaponry is of a similar nature, with the high explosive power of their guns giving it a solar-like quality that comes close enough to the energy to be classified as Solar weaponry in Guardian intel. But where does this leave human weaponry? Well, we're not entirely sure how they're given elemental properties besides the fusion rifles, but I think that it's safe to assume that it's not the Guardians infusing the bullets with Light as they leave the gun. If this was the case, the element would automatically correspond to the equipped subclass being used by the Guardian wielding the weapon. So in Year 1, Titans should have been completely unable to make any of their guns deal Solar damage, yet we see that this isn't the case. I can't really tell you what it actually is, because we don't know. Some theorize that it's some sort of coating on the bullets themselves, or that they're a some sort of elemental source stored within the weapon. There isn't the detail to pin down what gives the weapons their elemental properties, but we can safely conclude that it isn't Light-infused bullets.

So Solm is a [i]she[/i]

Love it from the beginning. Keep going sir/madame, you have a gift! [spoiler]bump for part 16[/spoiler]

How'd you come up with characters?

I hate to be the one to say this, as these comments are always viewed negatively, but #lore isn't the place to put fanfiction. #Community or #Gallery is the proper place, and putting it in #Destiny and #Gallery is a great place for it to get noticed and appreciated. In my experience as a fellow fanfiction author, putting it under both #Destiny and #Gallery is the best option.

Hey bud this was amazing! I can't believe you killed off Vera! But it is called RIP the dream so I knew right from the start that we can expect one of them or more to die. I apologize for not commenting on the other ones but I'm glad you sent me the doc via drive (that reminded me that I got some catching up to do.) Anyway these last few were great, keep up the great work and can't wait for the next one!

You ate trending good sir/fair madam. People new should follow the link to the master post and catch up.

You should find a way to animate these. I've just started reading these, nice work!

Now I'm curious (but still sad). Are the Vex tricking them? Or was the stranger killing the Vex on the other side of the gate? Is the stranger the Stranger? And how Vera and Solm know to call the stranger "them" if they haven't talked to them yet? I'm assuming the stranger is good, but were there any clues or anything that they won't be able to recover from the armor because it got back through the portal? Can't wait to find out! Edit- I may have interpreted that last part wrong- did you mean it collapsed against the portal, or did it go back through it?

You've gained a new hater this day..

YO

Well I cried.

Question: Was the massive Minotaur frame they fought a boss frame, or just a larger Minotaur.

What an ending!! Holy crap that was an amazing chapter. The insight on the Awoken and that super intimate moment (so much development, i love it!) and that ending. Truly, truly amazing. You sir, got talent.
