The Hive ran from the traveler. The Hive hate the traveler. Read all the grimoires on it, I can't remember all of it but before I left for the army all I know is that the hive hated and feared the traveler and they called it something else. That is why they went to the deepest darkest place on their planet for this worm God, and that dirty feeds on the light. And that worm God gave them that ability to overcome death. Arash or however you spell Oryxs' original name before she had a sex change and be came a he. Aurash killed her sisters and then I think killed herself and was reborn as Oryx. I can't quite remember entirely but I will read up on it again.
