Chapter 1 - A Guardian Rises

[Cosmodrome, Old Russia. 2114 A.C (After Collapse)]

It was morning, however you couldn't tell with the large white clouds which seemed to be permanently fixed in the sky, blocking most of the light. Snow fluttered down over a desolate scrapyard, composed of rusted cars and broken ships, painting everything in a soft white.

This forgotten graveyard of metal had been undisturbed for centuries, only visited by the birds and occasional pack of wolves. However, a new presence made its way into this scrapyard. A gentle humming echoed through the area as a light bobbed through eroded cars and dismantled ships.

A light moves through the shattered remnants of vehicles, Light pulsing in analytical rhythms.

"Curious…" it muses. "So many fascinatingly disassembled bipeds. Structural failures consistent with kinetic trauma, arc scoring, and… oh my. Someone was creative."

It circles a collapsed Exo, scans it, and dismisses it in a pleasant chirp. "Incomplete cranial matrix. Resurrection would yield… undesirable results. Next."

It stops suddenly over a lone human skeleton, half-buried beneath old metal and sand. It scans once, again and one final time for absolute certainty.

"Oh! You are… promising. Biometric patterns are stable. Brain lattice intact. Emotional potential: uncertain, but adaptable."

The plates of its shell shift, forming a radiant aperture. Its voice softens, still cold and analytical, but edged with something approaching excitement.

"Rejoice! You have been chosen. I am Spark! Your Ghost. And you, fortunate specimen, will be my Guardian."

Light erupts, and for the very first time, Spark brings someone back to life.

And it cannot wait to catalog everything they do next.

Hey everyone this is Saladin! This will be my first ever book/fanfic I've written and it's completely original. I wanted to get a few things out of the way so you are all informed. I will be using AI to help me with grammar however AI isn't perfect so there will be some mistakes I'll miss when going over it, make sure to let me know!

I'm a long time Destiny player, I was a beta tester actually, man I feel old, but I fell in love with Destiny. The characters, the different factions and lore, as well as the story! (Let's just ignore Curse of Osiris and a lot of stuff after Forsaken. Beyond Light and Witch Queen weren't bad) I wanted to create a story of how I experienced Destiny. What does this mean? Well I'll be going off of my spotty memory of my first play through, what I chose to do first in the game, my first exotic weapon and armor I ever got. How I traversed the story and how I will eventually change it in this story.

Who wants to read about the entire story with no changes? What would be the point of calling this a FanFiction!? Alright I've talked long enough, I have quite a busy life so I won't promise an update schedule or anything like that. I just hope you enjoy the story! Thank you for listening.
