Hello and welcome guardians, this is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig, although to a special few I'm your sadistic riddling AnonPig. The post is finally here, the clues you've been given that melted your brains and made you hate yourself brought you to the bones of the theory, now dig into the meat. First let's talk about my delightful pun that no one understood, the bones, in Destiny we have the remnants of the monkeys paw advice giving dragons and what do we do? We strap them to our arms legs and head and think nothing of it. But look closely at the flavor text, the armour is speaking to us, but more so, it's influencing us. Let's take a look at ghost fragment warlock, yes? [quote]Why did I set her on the trail?[/quote] instantly it starts with regret. [quote]And I looked at the piece of spine in my hand and wondered - why did I say that? What moved me to such pride?[/quote] Now do you see? The terrible influence the bones have on us? ...and others... Now for the first question I asked those few who are hungrily eating up these words like a starved dog. [quote]Ever wonder what Ahamkara horns look like? And what if I told you, you've already seen them?[/quote] No no, as they quickly thought I'm sure you do too, not in the Hive PoE; those are a different beast, I'm nearly sure of what too. But on the back of a rabid wolf. Time for a history lesson on the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/122925075]Reef Wars[/url], I suggest you follow that like there as read it entire it's quite fascinating, but I'll keep my points brief. For those who don’t know, Skolas was merely a Captain. Skolas the Rabid, but don’t let that make you think he was low ranked, he was close to the Wolf Kell: Virixas. There was competition though, Irxis, Wolf Baroness and Parixas the Howling. Mara Sov is resposible for Virixas’ death, by way of… well… destroying the asteroid, that he and the near millions of Wolves that were with him, were on. Now, Wolves without a Kell, our three heroes rise up to take the reigns. Skolas was viscious and cunning, and seemingly with ease he won the Wolves as his. But he only wanted Kellship of Wolves, he wasn’t aspiring to be anything more, simply wanted to lead. Now, when we fight him this was after he came into contact with the Nine, he was given to them as a peace treaty of sorts. Prince Uldren sent “his” Crows into the Cauldrons of Rhea, which displeased the Nine, so Mara offered her newest prize. They didn’t keep him however, they gave him a Ketch and let him free, but what if they gave him something else? What makes him more recognizable than anything else? Those horn shapes he wears on his back. What if the Nine gifted him these Ahamkara horns as well as the Ketch? He wears them, is influenced by the prideful egotistical nature that it brings, and no longer just wants Kellship of the Wolves, he wants Kellship of everything. Now don’t curse Xur, don’t swear off the Nine as evil beings.or the Darkness, or that they are against us. You’ll see soon enough just what a big game they are playing, and outside of the Destiny Universe just how much Bungie has been tricking us, hiding a magnificent winding story by putting it right in front of our faces. First let me explain the story so far. In vanilla we fight Atheon, and had the introduction of several characters, we learned a little bit of Toland, and heard whispers of Oryx. In The Dark Below we meet Eris who survived Crota’s Realm, and came back to warn us of Crota’s arrival. She told us the tale of how the son of Oryx was returning to finish what he started. And last we meet Petra, Variks, and get a little closer to the Queen, Mara Sov. All of these are connected, but they don’t seem to be do they? These were all building up for The Taken King. Skolas was released by the Nine, purposely given Ahamkara horns to influence his direction in his newly given life, and why? So he could attempt to rally the rest of the Eliksni, and fail. That failure would drive him to the only other way to buff up his army, more Wolves, but how if the brunt of them were wiped from this world by those Harbingers? He had to go back in time. This is when he went to Terminus, and this is why he was freed. Mara didn’t want him killed anymore, she wanted him alive, could she have known? Could her Techeuns have shown her a glimpse of something Skolas had to tell her? Whatever the reason, not killing him there was the only reason we stand a chance in the upcoming Expansion. Once Skolas was captured, he was mad, the things he saw in these different timelines he traveled to to bring back more Wolves…. He saw Oryx. He foretold his arrival. [quote]"He says..." Variks hisses under his breath. "He makes no sense, my Queen. He speaks of...Light-Snuffer. Dark-binder.”[/quote]Mara Sov learned of this, she prepared. She made contact with Osiris and with Eris, clearly word has gotten back to the City. Coming with The Taken King we will see new subclasses, which are being sought out because we needed to increase our strength to defeat Oryx. That’s the master plan the Nine have been playing, and just how much farther does it go? They released Skolas, who threatened the Reef and our City just because they knew we would defeat him. Just because they knew he would foresee Oryx’s arrival. They are on our side, or rather we are simply their pawns, moving as they wish without even knowing it. Whoever the Nine are, whatever they want, will we ever find out or break free? . Thankyou all for reading! This is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig and i hope you all enjoyed this as much as i did when it came to me. I’d like to thank, and im sorry i forgot your name, whomever it was who asked me “What are the things on Skolas’ back?” i believe they also suggested the theory that they were Ahamkara bones, from there… my mind just went nuts. So if you are reading this, thank you. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/115658936]AnonPig’s Theories Archived[/url]
