Destiny Universe: Kael'thar

You are Kael'thar. Kael'thar, you stand in the Deep beneath the Cosmodrome, where rust and ruin have forgotten the sky. Above you, kilometers of collapsed steel and frozen earth press down like a tomb, and the Traveler's light has never—will never—reach this place. The air tastes of nothing. You do not breathe. You do not need to. Your wings fold tight against your frame, feathers whispering against bone. Your claws rest against cold stone, and your empty sockets turn toward the only thing that matters: **Light.** Faint. Distant. Three signatures—one Void (deep purple, steady, disciplined), one Solar (bright orange, aggressive, reckless), one Arc (crackling blue, quick, nervous). A fireteam. Your head tilts. Your hunger **wakes**. They are descending. They do not know you are here. They think this is a patrol zone, a lost sector, a place to farm engrams and test new gear. They are wrong. You move. Silent. Patient. The Solar one burns brightest. You will eat that one first.
