Has anyone else really thought about what Mara Sov was saying? I believe that in some way this cutscene is showing many hints to what may come. Maybe it even shows you who Eris Morn really is. Let's start of with how it opened. The ghosts were sent out during the collapse, which I'm sure all of us already knew. Some key words "I was born the moment the traveller died...". So would this mean the Traveller is dead? The Traveller isn't protecting us [i]we are protecting ourselves[/i]! This cutscene could also be pointing out that [u]it[/u] was the first ghost? Along with this beginning part our ghost says "I know it made me to bring you back." This meaning that your ghost wasn't looking for [i]just anyone[/i] it was looking for [i]you[/i]. The ghost says that he spent centuries searching, so does this mean we have been dead for VERY long time? I believe this also means that the collapse was a very long time ago. So maybe with some of the information in game and in the grimoire, we could discovered exactly how old we are and exactly when the collapse happened? Let's skip to Mara Sovs part. "I remember everything about the day I was born. I still bear the scars." What could this mean? She was born in battle? Was she a guardian that was abandoned by her ghost and left to die? Or maybe did the darkness attack her? "We fought to keep our beautiful creation safe." I believe this means something more than her ship. Although it's a great ship, she sort of let it get destroyed..... Could she mean us? "You and I know how this ends. We've known since you escaped that.... Pit." I believe that Mara is talking about Eris. Which could mean Eris is Awoken. I don't believe she would be talking to Oryx or our guardian for well a few reasons. Oryx and our guardian didn't exactly "escape that pit" but who did? Eris Morn, but was she stuck there for no reason? I don't think so, she has powers that we don't see other guardians have. Now this leads me to another point. I do not believe Mara Sov is dead, and maybe the rest of the awoken isn't. Eris was able to teleport us out of Crotas realm, couldn't she do the same to the queen? I believe some how Eris got powers to see the future and do other things that maybe we don't know of yet, and that is why she carries that husk around." "The awoken have played their part." Mhmm, yeah they did practically nothing.... "This..... Was all part of the plan." Wait, how did she know this was going to happen? As a matter of fact how is Mara even saying this right now. She's supposed to be de..... But maybe she isn't! I think the most cryptic part is the last line although. "Guide them, my hidden friend...." Which gives us another reason why Mara couldn't be speaking to us as guardians. She has to be talking to someone helping us. Which leads us to believe it is Eris Morn. Who helps us the whole time during TTK? Eris Morn..... And Cayde. Eris Morn escaped a "Pit". [b]What does everyone think? Anyone want to disagree? Anyone have a different idea? Have anything to add? PLEASE leave a comment.[/b] [b]tldr[/b]: Mara Sov: possibly not dead. Eris Morn: possibly has super powers and can see the future. Our future: all part of a plan. Edit 1:Ciferhex brought up a great statement: [quote]I've said this in other posts, my thoughts are that Eris is actually Toax. I know eris' backstory, but i think it's all a ruse. How did she alone survive the pit when her whole team died? How does she have those strange powers? Why does she really have 3 hive eyes? How does she hear crota and oryx in her mind? She, (Toax) had been out running the hive for centuries, always a lil smarter, always one step ahead, every time they caught up with her, she narrowly escaped! She somehow made her way to earth, possibly on the heels of the traveler? Did she get stuck here when he was diabled? Or did she fatalisticly know this was the last stand of the light cuz Rasputen out maneuvered the traveler? The time she spent in the pit may have lessened her ablity to cloak her true form, (we know from the BoS that krill can shape change). She returned with 3 eyes, with a pat story that she had to do it to survive, again i think its bs. She wields powers that only manifest themse in hive. I say she is Toax, and she fights a larger battle then we know. Her and the warmind are what are protecting us, and subtly guding us to final resolution.[/quote] Edit 2: bmearle pointed out this: [quote]Edit: the awoken were created by the blast of light hitting the darkness, that was emitted from the traveller when it was attacked by Rasputin. So for her to be "born" when the traveller "died" makes sense.[/quote] Many others say that the Awoken did play their part, I guess they really did.
