Darkness: Fallen from the light

So I was thinking about the factions of Darkness and where they came from, I thought it was strange that they fight amongst each other and that they showed up in the Solar System around the same time. If they just want to destroy Mankind and the Traveller, they don't need to fight against each other. So my thinkin is this: what if the Traveller visited the Cabal, Hive, Fallen and Vex as well and uplifted them the same way it did with humanity? But they wanted more then what the Traveller gave them. They wanted to corrupt the traveller to suit there needs. The Vex had/have a dark 'god' in the black garden that leeches light from the Traveller, it can also bring dead/inanimate things to life (remember those statues?). The Hive had a piece of the traveller on the Moon and were worshipping/corrupting it to gain power. There is also a grimoire card that tells of a gaurdian captured by the Hive and then being drained of its light by its captors. Furthermore the Fallen worship a machine god shaped like an orb that gives them power, like an miniature traveller. So, what if they all want to taken the Traveller and use corrupt it for their own goals? It would explain why they all fight against each other. There are also religious and mythological stories like this, the Garden of Eden, the Box of Pandora, the Cornucopia, the bag filled with the Winds in the Odyssee. Humanity was given a great gift, on one condition, humanity broke the condition and the gift was destroyed. Sorry for the long post, but what do you think about this?

  • I'd be very curious to see what the Hive and Vex would do if they were in the same area. They're the two armies that I consider the Darkness or at least darkness-aligned, but they're not at the same locations. I definitely think that the Fallen had been uplifted by the Traveler, and the traveler abandoned them, either because of something that they did or to escape the Darkness, or just because that job was complete. And now the Fallen chase the traveler, trying to regain its favor. As far as the Traveler goes, I can't decide what I think it is. Is it a benefactor, a harbinger? Is it the gardener that that the Ghost Fragment: Mysteries grimoire card spoke of, or is it the narrator or that card(I'm leaning towards Rasputin being the narrator)? My biggest fear is that Bungie doesn't know the answers either....
