Ohhh...poor Saint. He Went Through So Much With Osiris And Savathun...and He Has So Much Trauma From

Ohhh...poor Saint. He went through so much with Osiris and Savathun...and he has so much trauma from it all...and the end with Osiris just knowing something is wrong with his husband when Saint got home and Saint just breaking down in front of Osiris...

This chapter just hits right in the feels

Proportionality

Savathun flew heavily through the shifting skies of her Throne World. She struggled to build speed, her wings seemed frustratingly stiff following her resurrection. She felt slow and uncoordinated, as if her body was not yet entirely her own. She frowned and drifter to the side, favoring her right, and did not see the spinning disk of Void energy until it caught her low in the thorax and sent her tumbling to the ground.

There was a terrible noise, a flash of purple metal, and then... it was over.

Immaru materialized in a burst of Light. He looked down at Savathun, and then up to Saint-14, who stood over her body.

"Already?" Immaru muttered in disbelief.

Saint's face was hidden beneath his helmet. The Lavender ribbons on his armor swayed and trailed with each heavy breath. It took him a moment to acknowledge the Ghost.

"I heard you were in Vanguard custody," Saint said.

"I'm not a prisoner," Immaru sniffed. "More like an insurance policy. Anyway, I could sense something happened and Eris let me come down to check it out."

Saint nodded, his focus still on Savathun. "Something happened, yes," he said, and nudged the pile of broken chitin and crumpled

wings with his boot.

Immaru hovered close to Savathun. "I'm not even gonna ask," he said while channeling his Light.

Savathun rose to her knees. She took a raspy breath, opened her eyes, and found Saint. She smiled. "For Os-"

Saint stopped her.

Immaru flew into Saint's face. "All right!" he shouted. "You've made your point!"

Saint wiped the steaming ichor from his visor with a thumb and

gestured to Savathun's remains. "Again," he said pointedly.

"Yeah, I don't think so," Immaru replied and initiated his transmat.

Saint suddenly flared with Void energy. He threw his palms out to his sides and a violent Ward of Dawn dome burst from him.

Immaru felt it ripple through him like a pressure wave, disrupting his transmission. He bobbed unsteadily - he was unable to see. But he could feel, and now Saint's armored hand gripped him so tightly that a hairline split ran through his shell.

"You will bring her back," Saint said.

$"I'm getting a little tired of you people threatening to kill me," Immaru said into the muffled void. Saint's fist loosened by a fraction. "You will bring her back, and I give my word that you and she will both leave when I am finished." "When you're finished?" Immaru echoed, and he felt Saint release him. He sensed for Savathun's form hidden in the blackness. He grimaced, gocused his Light, and Savathun began to rise once more. "Savathun," Saint said, and killed her. "You are very new to the resurrection as a Lightbearer."$

"In the beginning, there is a weakness when you first come back."

"Like waking from a deep sleep. From a coma."

"That is why I can best you; you are still unsteady."

"You are Hive, and you know suffering. You come from death. It is nothing to you."

"But I think, maybe, you do now know how it feels to be helpless."

"I will teach you."

***

After a long, long time, Saint was finished. The dome vanished, exposing the Exo, the Ghost, and the god to the murky Throne World sky.

Saint slowly keyed in his transport request and removed his helmet. As he transmatted out, he looked once more at Savathun.

"This was not for Osiris," he said, his voice hoarse and ragged.

"This was for me."

***

When Saint returned home, Osiris met him at the door. "You were gone for a while. That must have been quite the patrol," he said. "Are you hungry?"

And Saint-14 - the greatest Titan who ever lived - fell into his open arms and wept.

Final page for Rites of Passage: not an epilogue after all. There is also a radio message first which unlocks it.

Anyway I am crying like a baby.

Inktober Day 3/4: Dragon! I recently heard the joke of asexuals caring more about dragons than spice, so I had to draw an cute little card suit/ace dragon! I love the design so much! I traced the line art so I can make a marker version of it and pick out better colors. I also kinda want to make a bisexual one with a hearts card. I'll probably do it in time for coming out day next week.

Inks on this one: Noodlers Lexington Grey and a purple sharpie pen.

Finished the season's story last night and omg, omg, Eris is such a badass! Like it was such a great idea to rez Savvy and kill her to help strengthen Eris against Xivu. And Ikora's radio message/hidden report at the end was so good. You can tell how much Ikora cares about Eris and how happy Ikora is that Eris is experiencing happiness finally. She deserves it. This was such a great season with one of my fav cast of characters. Tho I haven't been into this season as much as Splicer cause I was burned out (Splicer I always hold in high regards too because that's when I really got into the story), but story wise this is definitely one of my favorite seasons!
