Still Trying by Vagabond-Sunshine on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"Thank you for coming. We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of my mentor. My inspiration.

They called him Crota's End. The Hivebane, Kingslayer. The Young Wolf. Hero of the Red War. The Man who avenged Cayde-6. He had a hundred titles I cannot recall.

And he died, doing what he does best. Defending the last city of humanity. Ages ago, he saved my life, and then inspired me to save myself. I am glad that he did, because traveler help us.. he is gone.

.. and there is no one to save us now.

On the day we met, I decided that I would follow his example... I'm still trying.

I've marked this grave with one of his favorite weapons, shattered in that final confrontation, it used to be mine.

All who find what we've left here, please leave it be. Unless... unless you're still out there somewhere. You've performed miracles before.

In which case, take it.. and come back to us, and we'll kill what killed you.. or die trying."
