Secrets
Note: I saw a post on the Traveler (tag credited below) directly related to the Secrets I've been writing about... before I knew it, I was writing it in their topic... 😂 I was going to wait, but then I just copied it all here & finished it.
2nd Note: I messed up a few of the video links below (Truths)... but I fixed them to link to the correct videos.
[url=https://www.destinypedia.com/Grimoire:Allies/The_Traveler]Savathun's Origin[/url]
"[b][u]The Traveler[/u][/b]
[i]Everything changed with the coming of the Traveler.
[u]It gave us gifts[/u] that transformed the solar system and the nature of human life. It ushered in the Golden Age, a time of miracles. [u]But it never shared its deepest secrets[/u].
Where did the Traveler come from? Why did it offer us so much? Did it know it was being hunted across the stars? And why, when the Darkness came, did it choose to stay and fight for us?
Now the Traveler hangs, silent, above humanity's final sanctuary. It may be healing. It may be dying. It gave everything it had to save us. And now its power lies with us, its Guardians.[/i]
[b][u]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler[/u][/b]
[i]You have lived as invisibly as possible, flicking from solar system to solar system, [u]making grand plans[/u], overseeing the culturing of civilizations, before leaving in a blink. But you have no recollection of ever wanting worship or even thanks from those blessed by you.
But memory is heavy now.
It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move.
Now, your flight is rapid, your vast mind infected with such dread and toxic doubt that you find yourself afraid of the simple act of thought.
[u]And it is your children you must turn to now, in time of need.[/u][/i]
[b][u]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 2[/u][/b]
[i]This has been such a long chase. This will be the place you will fight. Fight and win.
But do you really know why you go where you go, and where this journey is taking you?
The chase leads you where you need to be, you believe.
Unless...you are being pushed.[/i]
[b][u]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 3[/u][/b]
[i]The knife had a million blades.
And you were giant, powerful and swift. But the knife pinned you. Cut your flesh away.
Very little was left, you are sure, because you feel insignificant now. The hard slick heart of your soul: That is what remains. [u]A body small as a river stone[/u], and just as simple. You picture yourself as a piece of indigestible grit, [u]a nameless nothing hiding among other nameless stones[/u]. Perhaps you glitter like a gem, yes. Pride makes you hope so. If only you could see yourself. But you have no eyes. Not the dimmest sense survives. What lives is memory, and what slim portion of these thoughts can you [u]trust[/u]?
The knife stole much more than your body".[/i]
This isn't about the Traveler... It is and it isn't. It's about "Secrets".
Here's the exercise; read this as though it was a person... a [spoiler]"Mother".[/spoiler]
[u][b]"And it is your children you must turn to now, in time of need".[/b][/u]
This about the false [spoiler]Mother.[/spoiler]
This is Savathun, the moment she accepted the "gift"... when she was cursed.
That's my theory. Secrets.
She's talking about stones in a pond... who was talking about that recently 😉? Hmmm? Who's daughter is she?
Thank you @Veilfire07... I was hoping someone would bring up this lore 😇👍💠.
Note: We're getting closer and closer to my theory, we're almost there. Where? I'm not 100% sure... BUT (don't read the next spoiler) who fits? If this was a person talking about pond stones & secrets? Her children?
[spoiler]Osana Sov [/spoiler]
Where would you... could you place such cosmic pond stones? I won't answer this one. Where does this story begin & end?
"making grand plans"
""There is only the plan," Illyn said".

Then read the above lore again from D1. This cutscene was an act of theatre recreating the original moment.

[i]""Black holes are the densest possible computers in the physical universe. They are also the most secure, since they can be made to retain their information until they evaporate in the deep cosmic future. The Hive operate small singularity computers, such as the World's Grave, and the Vex sometimes pack enough energy and information into a small area of spacetime to collapse it into kugelblitz black hole like the one you can see outside. But a true stellar-mass or galactic-mass black hole computer is inconceivably more powerful.
"If Savathûn plans to predicate her existence on the concealment of her secrets, as Oryx predicated his upon the sword logic, it would be logical for her to safeguard her deepest secrets and her throne world in a supermassive black hole computer. To defeat her would require a journey below the event horizon and the exposure of her most jealously guarded truths."" [/i]
Guardians... this is [b]The Galaxy Pools[/b]. That's the computer Savathun used to create the simulation, the universe, the timeline we exist in. This is where she places the pond stones to manipulate fate... to control Destiny.
Note: Secrets continued below in the replies marked as such. The links after this statement need not be read to continue or to understand this post despite them all being connected. My recommendation is to read through this first... despite it being the last in my series... the "end is the beginning"... they're all "looped" together.

6 AntwortenSince OP wants to use Awoken of the Reef as a source, allow me to introduce to you all to the continuation of Marasenna within that book. [url=https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/tyrannocide-iv]Tyrannocide IV[/url] [quote]You cannot defeat a thing that is synonymous with death except on its own territory. You cannot fear and flee from death. You must face it. Death is a sword, and a sword is like a crossing-point, like a bridge—and a bridge may be walked two ways. The plan exists in her mind alone, although beloved Eris has by necessity learned most of it. The Techeuns do not know the whole plan, although they will position the Harbingers upon the threshold. Even sweet capable Petra does not know the whole plan. So many she will leave behind. Uldren knows nothing of the whole plan. He has kept more and more to himself, building up secrets and schemes—all, Mara knows (and pities), because he needs Mara and thinks he can get her attention by keeping secrets from her. Secrets are her virtue and the virtue of her nemesis. The being whose existence she deduced from the analogy-of-family the Oracle Engine showed her. Mara will begin the end of that Queen's brother today. She knows what that means for the fate of her own. An eye for an eye. She must think now of the fate of entire cosmos—and of her tender, half-assembled answer to the cold sword logic of the Hive. She must not grieve. She must not fear.[/quote] The plan Illyn refers to in the passage above is, in the short term, the plan to defeat Oryx and take his power. But that was only a means to an end to defeat Savathun, who was revealed to Mara Sov through the Oracle Engine before we had even recovered the Books of Sorrow and learned of her ourselves. [url=https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/tyrannocide-ii]Tyrannocide II[/url] [quote]Ten times and once more Mara asked the Oracle Engine to show her the sword that was death and the way it would appear. Ten times and once more the Oracle Engine showed Mara an image of her family. First it showed her Sjur Eido, laughing and bright with strength, who would recede and later return. Then it showed her Uldren, her brother, who explored the ruins of the fallen worlds and sought out challenges to test himself. Then it showed Mara her own face and lingered on the secret brightness of her eyes. Last of all, leaving Mara imperious with disdain toward her own feelings, curtly aloof toward all who asked her what troubled her, it showed her Osana, who had remained behind.[/quote] Mara and Savathun are set up as competing forces within the narrative both because of their similar modus operandi but also because it allows for Mara to see how she might be viewed by those around her. There's a reason why Savathun wanted Crow present during Season of the Lost, she wanted to knock Mara off balance so that she might be caught unawares when the Witch Queen sprung her trap and escaped. Kind of like how we only defeated Savathun at the end of Witch Queen by revealing to her that the Bargain with the Worm Gods was a deception by the Witness to rile up her anger into a direct confrontation. As I've always maintained, the very idea of this conspiracy heavily devalues multiple seasons of development from Mara Sov in re-evaluating her approach to those around her, most recently shown this season where she openly confides in Crow that she's afraid she'll lose what remains of her brother for good but decides to relinquish control and allow him to make his own decisions. Not to mention upending the entire narrative as a simulation that was never real to begin with. And for what return? A 'wasn't that shocking?' and not much else of value. Its the D.B. Weiss and David Benioff approach to the narrative of Destiny, making everything that came before seem like pointless investment because the payoff subverts it. No, Arya killing the Night King isn't a good ending for that character just because it was unexpected and no the line referring to eye colours wasn't genius level foreshadowing that justifies it.
