I apologize for any grammatical mistakes I was having some shower thoughts the other day and I came up with this By now we're almost sure that originally the traveler was to have sinister intentions due to leaks and clues within the grimmore such as Legends: The Black Garden, but even though I've watched countless videos on this topic, none have yet to answer... Why. What does the traveler have to gain from its sinister intentions. Well here I'm going to try explaining what it could possibly be. During the previously mentioned shower thoughts I noticed that when Fallen are shot in the head (and killed) a white energy expires from the head area. Originally in one of the Bungie Vdocs they gave the explanation that this is their souls being released, but that just doesn't make sense, we shoot the Cabal and Hive in the head and yet nothing is released, this could be that the hive are soulless but what of the Cabal. Maybe it's the oil in their armor covering the white energy. There is one undeniable X factor to this though, Psions do not have oil in their armor and are known to be living and yet when shot, no white energy. We also know that the Fallen (Alkisni) are the only other race known to be visited by the traveler, coincidence? I think not. (I know this is long by please continue) In the lore of the hive we have become aware of the Worms which grow in power from their hosts. The symmetry factor states that light cannot exist without dark, could it be that the light has "Worms" just as the Darkness does. So to summarize The Fallen are the only race to release White energy upon a headshot, they were also the only others visited by The Traveler, and that the light could also have things that grow and feed on those planted within aka. Worms. So is it possible that when the traveler visited the Fallen it planted the Seeds Of Light within their race wanting the light to grow and feed within them, then left knowing the Fallen would follow and reaching the humans then knowing we would fight the Fallen and in turn killing the Fallen releasing the light that had grown within them. In turn allowing the Traveler itself to grow more powerful. Not to mention planting more seeds into the human race which also would die releasing their light. If that doesn't satisfy you then think about this, your guardian spawns in the world with no power but over time as you kill, your light (Worm) grows. I also saw another forum post saying that since day 1 the Traveler has been healing visually however this post had one thing wrong about it, they said it was due to us destroying The Heart of The Black Garden, when it really is that we have been healing it by feeding it the light that it planted in the Fallen so long ago. [spoiler]TLDR[/spoiler] Please tell me what you think of this theory and maybe even elaborate. Thank you to all those who read all of this! And everyone remember, this is a THEORY, there is a reason for this being stated, merely a possible explanation for why something is (Not Fact)
