Finished the last part of the series. Hope you guys, let me know if you have a suggestion for another possible series.
[spoiler]Ghost Fragment:
Taken 5
1 day after the defeat at the Battle of Saturn
[The Vestian Outpost mourns the loss of so many Awoken at the Battle of Saturn]
Petra Venj, Devi Cassl, Variks, and the other surviving Awoken hold a mourning ceremony at the Vestian Outpost. Petra is first to speak.
Petra/ The Queen was a beacon of hope to all. Her rule would go unrivaled, and she would carry that to the grave. She once taught me that in this day and age, you must kill or get killed. She would bow to no one. With that faith, she perished at the hands of that horrible monster.
The few Awoken that joined the ceremony were faintly sobbing. She was their Queen. Mara guided the Awoken through countless victories over the years. Winning the Reef Wars, enslaving the House of Wolves, and aiding in the defeat of the Black Garden. Every Awoken was saddened.
Petra left the podium, and Variks the Loyal would begin to speak.
Variks/ Mara good Queen, yes? House Judgement broken before Queen. Queen killed Skolas, yes? Now, House Judgement lives for her. I owe a debt; unpaid.
The ceremony continued, with speeches from the Queen’s Guard and others. Nearly every living Awoken attended, except Devi. Devi was sitting in her small room. Her head was on her desk, wet tears filled the corner of the room of which she was sitting. Devi had tried everything she could to hold off the attack. She couldn’t have predicted what was yet to come. She believed that the sheer power of the Awoken fleet could decimate Oryx’s ships. Devi thought lowly of Oryx, sure he was a Hive god, but she didn’t think any living thing could ever be that strong.
Though the Awoken remained broken as a species, she had hope of the Inner Rim. She felt that somehow, the Guardians would pull through. The Awoken had held Oryx’s fleet to the vast Outer Rim. That gave every living thing in the Inner Rim a chance to rebel. Oryx had exhausted most of his escort, and resources. He would have to regroup in the Rings of Saturn, before he could hunt the Guardians. And that… was all the Guardians needed.[/spoiler]
