This story is told in a 'log format' from the POV of Cayde's Ghost, documenting the events of a Guardian that would some day be know as The Phantom and one day be something more to a certain Exo hunter. This story takes certain creative liberties with the Destiny universe, fleshing it out and making characters more 3D. Because they are logs they will very in length depending on what the Ghost feels is important to capture and will leave the rest up to your imagination.
As of now this story had undergone some clean up polishing and it complete. Please note that this is also posted on my Archive of Our Own account, FeatherFang.
On a side note, I'm looking to make this into a POD cast and im looking for a male voice to add. PM if your interest.
I enjoy any comments you take the time to leave.
Hope you guys enjoy the read!

Tale of The Phantom
By Dark Ring of Hope/FeatherFang
Log Entry 1 – 00:00:22The Camera flicks on with a near silent click, a bit of static humming over the mics as they are adjusted. Cayde is front in center on the feed, leaning up against a counter in what appears to be a kitchen, probably his own. Glowing blue optics blink twice and he cocks his head.
"Is it on?" he asks, receiving a sigh in reply.
"Yes, all of your specifications are now in order," a strong female, yet electronic voice states from close by the mic - his Ghost no doubt. The Exo nodded his head.
"Right, thanks Artemis," he says off hand, clearing his throat before he stares intently at the feed, a smirk appearing moments later. "Names Cayde 6, Exo Hunter, Vanguard leader, generally bored out of my mind. These logs are being started to ensure that if that '6' ever becomes a '7' I can fill in the missing pieces easier. Reboots are kind of random and you never know what you'll be left with." A bitter edge to his voice at that, but he continues without pause. My Ghost will start taking random log entries from now on until further notice, I'm leaving it up to her for the most part for what she records." He nods to himself, thinking, pondering if he needs to say anything else before the raise of his brow plate signals that he does. " Oh, and Zavalla, if you're watching these for some reason, it's your own damn fault if you see something you wish you hadn't. You have been warned," he muses, smirking into the feed and a few moments go by before the video cuts, ending the first of the Cayde logs.
