Hello! I would like to make a quick disclaimer here.
[spoiler]While I said new writers, the competition is open to anyone. Please simply tell if you're a new or experienced writer next to the name of the story you write.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]One more thing, this isn't a competition for any prize or anything like that. If I could afford it I'd send a G.C. code but I'm poor.
What you will earn is new friends, an audience, help however small it may be, and a crossover into one of my stories.
All of these are optional and you don't have to accept any of them.[/spoiler]
Okay, with that out of the way, here are the rules.
1. Stay respectful and civil to the other writers
2. Do not copy and or mimic others entry
3. Have fun!
[quote]To symbolize this being the first contest I've held, the theme will be that of a new Guardian's first rez.
This can take place anytime and anywhere, the only thing I ask is that, if you have a character who already has a "first rez" story please start a new character.[/quote]
You must comment the story here or make a post and link it in the comments.
If you like, use the tag nicsfanficcomp.
Have fun! I will pick the winner next Saturday.

[u]New Dredgen’s Eyes[/u] Lying on the ground, wounded he looked upon the image of a man. A man with a good and a cape attached to his figure. A Guardian. A hunter. And even when the planet was plunged into night, his gun still shined like a beacon of hope. The gun’s barrel was now on his forehead, almost gently placed there. The Dredgen closed his eyes behind his helm, awaiting the death that he knew he deserved. There was a 12 second silence. The Dredgen spoke impatient, “Just pull the trigger for the Traveller’s sake.” The man spoke, “I’m not doing a damn thing for the Traveller.” He cocked the gun. “I’m doing this so some innocents can rest.” “My ghost seemed pretty innocent.”, the Dredgen retorted. The man took a moment to look at the ghost’s fragmented shell, smoke arose from it’s lifeless husk. The man looked back down, “He knew his guardian.”, he replied. “I’m not telling you nothin’ about Yor,” the Dredgen said, “You can go to hell if you think you’re gettin’ a word outa me.” “Like I’m gonna ask you for anything,” said the man. “I quite like the thrill of the hunt.” The Dredgen cringed, he chuckled. He mumbled under his breath “Lunatic.”. The man then asked in a curious tone: “Have you ever had amnesia?” The Dredgen tilted his head, confused. “No.” “Alright,” the man replied. “Cause it’s gonna feel like one after you wake up.” The man pulled the trigger, as a gunshot echoed through the night. “Guardian? Eyes up, wake up Guardian!” The man who was Dredgen no longer stood. “What-,” he stuttered “where am I? What the hell are you?” “I’m your ghost. Not your soul, by the way. I would love to explain, but there are Scorn everywhere.” The ghost’s blue eye looked down upon a pulse rifle. “Can you fight?” “I’m not sure.” He replied. “Okay.” the ghost said rolling it’s glowing blue eye, “Your a Hunter, so you can hide.” The man stood up with the weapon. The ghost then asked his name. “I’ve never known a title.”, he replied.
