Dominus Ghaul: Difference between revisions

After days of brutally interrogating the Speaker, Ghaul begins to accept that to earn the Traveler's favor he would need to learn devotion and self-sacrifice but his interrogation of the Speaker is interrupted by an furious Consul. He informed him of the Guardian's efforts that has humiliated the Red Legion's forces across the system, thanks to their restored Light and has even disabled the Almighty which allows the City's remaining forces to launch an attack to liberate the City and the Traveler. The Consul demands that Ghaul take the Light by force to defeat their enemies but Ghaul remains adamant that he should prove his worth which leads the angered Consul to kill the Speaker and remind him of how he brought him in and had raised him from being a lowly runt to becoming the most powerful warlord in history that defeated the previous Emperor Calus and reshaped the Cabal's society and therefore he should take what is his, as the Cabal have always done. Convinced by the Consul's argument but angered by his insubordination, Ghaul throttles him to death and takes his warship to the center of the Traveler Suppressor device to drain the Light by force.

At the top of his warship, Ghaul faces off against the Guardian he defeated before but his time infused with some of the Traveler's Light, giving him similar abilities to the Guardians. After a fierce battle between the two Light-infused warriors, Ghaul was nonetheless defeated. With his death, Ghaul suddenly reincarnates as a massive ethereal figure, declaring himself immortal who then speaks to the Traveler directly,. In doing so, the Traveler wakes from its slumber, destroying the device that was harvesting its power and then destroys Ghaul himself, sending a massive shockwave across the planet and system, restoring the Light and ending Ghaul's threat forever. For the first time in history, the Red Legion has known true defeat and the leader of their people, their strongest warrior and emperor, is now dead.}}
