It was a cold day in December of 2014. I hadn't built up enough courage to do the raid yet in destiny. All of my friends were doing, it but at the time I just hadn't played the game enough to go get a raid group that would accept a lower light level 13 year old kid , but today was finally the day I attempted the vault of glass I had heard all about it the rewards, the time it takes, the dedication.
