Mara Sov Speculation for Destiny 2.

At the beginning of the taken king cinematic, after the ghosts monologue we hear Mara Sov speaking. Her words were 'I remember everything about the day I was born. I still bear the scars. The Awoken are MY FAMILY NOW. And I am their queen. We fought to keep our beautiful creation safe, and now this beast has come claiming to be king. Mara Sov bows to no one.' She's then surrounded by her guard to summon Axion Bolts to attack the Dreadnaught. Could it be, that Eris is her mother? She was born in the depths of the hive and maybe the spawn of Crota, or Oryx or one of the many hive priests? The hive are known for their destruction, if she is part hive - the power she summoned to destroy the Dreadnaught rivals that of an Ultra like the Pride of Oryx - Malok. She talks about her birth, and how she still bears the scars. Was she born out of a hive ritual performed on Eris? Could that be the reason why her eyes were taken? This is all speculative since we don't have much history on the Queen or the time Eris spent surrounded by the hive. I'm also interested in the three guards surrounding Mara Sov during her attack and Oryxs retaliation, they had a similar look to Exalted hive wizards. Does Savathun have a place in all of this? And will Destiny 2 clear up the relationship between Eris and Mara, along with what really happened in the pit. And if Savathun is involved, are Eris and the Queen pawns in her game for being freed from the depth of Crotas pit? I'd like to hear some of your thoughts, again this is all speculative, but her monologue in the taken king opening sequence has a lot behind it, if only a few words.

  • Grimoire card: The Aftermath "Do not fear, brother. This was the only choice I had.” The sound of her voice ripped him from sleep. He jumped up; his ship was still contained in its protective sphere. He tried to retract the shield, but it was locked to its initiation time. He couldn’t remember activating it. Then he remembered the battle. That blast. What that ship fired was ancient, not bound to anything the Origin Libraries even sought to describe. He tried to calm down. He thought of her, searching for her pull. He couldn’t find it, but he was not calm. She always told him she would always be there behind the calm. All he could hear were echoes of that sound. It began as soon as they hit the ring plane, ringing in the old glimmer of his long-buried self. Before she showed him who he was—in the before and the after. The Techeuns should’ve known what the Dreadnaught could do. Must’ve known. Did they not feel what he felt? Hear what he heard? And that damn Ketch, it wasn’t protected. They had to know that. All to deploy the Harbingers. They barely got a foothold before the weapon was fired. He thought of Petra and how overwhelmed she must be, forced to hold her post, and watch her people perish. He tried to calm himself again, forcing long breaths. He realized where he was: Mars. Athabasca. The Candor Isles. He hadn’t been here in so long, not since he found the Black Garden. The countdown to the shield’s deactivation pulsed. He tried again, to home in on her, to find if she truly gave herself for this battle. He felt close to something, a hum of starlight, then shield deactivation broke his focus. He climbed out and saw the damage to his ship, and the truths of the armada's devastation sunk in. He turned in despair to find hundreds of his Crow drones, deployed on Mars long ago, circling his ship, waiting. “Welcome back, Master.” The one closest to him spoke first, and the others followed, a wave of salutations echoed throughout the dry sea. And with that hope returned. “Begin repairs on the ship immediately. Something has gone missing and you will help me find it.”
