Dwelling

The mountainous waves of Neptune’s moon, Triton, raged in all directions under the black and swirling clouds that kept the surface in infinite overcast. The wind howled like a soul being tortured. screaming for eternity under the acidic rain that dropped in large globs and stung like hot needles to unprotected skin.

Somewhere in the raging sea, there stood a single derelict tower. The black and light-less exterior caused it to blend in almost perfectly with its dark scenery. Carefully constructed pieces of organic materials colored red and bone white resided among the jagged rocks.

In the deep recesses of the tower, the idle roar of the acidic rain, thrashing of waves along the hull, and the shrieks and calls of the aquatic life below the waves brought ambience to the dark and red-lit halls.

From crevices in the rocks and walls, small blue lights floated above the ground. The orbs made their way towards their unknown destination. At the heart of this derelict tower was an immense cavern, pillars of reflective rock accentuated the raised platform surrounded by water at the center of the room. Red light filled the cavern, creating strange shadows that would play with the mind.

At the center of the platform, a lanky figure lay kneeling with its head down. Its body was colored in shades of red, black, and white, mimicking muscle and bone almost to a ghastly realism of actual bone, muscle, and petrified skin. The open wounds that marked its chest and forearms glowed a deep read, pulsing with energy.

“....Acolyte…”

Behind the kneeling acolyte stood another, darker figure. The red lights had dimmed to nothing, leaving a cone of light that kept the platform illuminated from overhead.

The Nekros acolyte raised it’s head. “Stalker…” The acolyte said in a hushed and demonic tone, “What is thy will?

“...Anomaly…”

Yes.” The acolyte replied, “I felt it as well…

“Tenno...escape…”

Yes,” The nekros turned its head slightly. “I know this one…

“Not...time…”

Then I shall wait, if it be your will.

The acolyte found itself alone once more, among the red-lit rocks of the cavern. The blue lights rose from the watery abyss below, now with their suits of red and bone white. They stood around the acolyte, awaiting an order which was soon to come.

6903570 Well, mainly I plan to use it to my advantage, to be short. But, are there any specifics that you're talking about?

Cant wait for the next chapter!!!

Is this story still going? Would love to read more! :pinkiehappy:

I'm a bit confused are working with the tenno in pod controlling the warframe or tenno in warframe it almost seems like a combination of the two. Good story btw.

Sees the word Tenno, ignores context, runs to it faster than a poor warframe player to an ayatin sculpture

can't what for the next update
