Where does it end?

Where does it end? I got to thinking about this while orbiting around Saturn. Bungie has a ten year plan, ten years of a developing story. Godly vex minds that mold time and space as we know it. A galactic military in matched in its might and power. The fallen houses, devils, kings, exile, winter, wolves, judgment, rain, and maybe even more we don't know about. Hive gods and kings that seem to be the sole enemy of the light. The mysterious ahamkara. All enemies of the light and they won't stop until we are stamped out leaving the only outcome: total dark or total light. In order for that to happen though we would have endless things to do. Destroy the cabal empire and watch it burn to the ground. Burn all the fallen houses to the ground or take their banners as our own. Kill all the hive kings, queens, and princes and destroy their spawns and hordes. Kill the vex minds but with the vex, the only way to stop their machines is by replacing those minds with our own. It leaves the question, where does it end? How does it end? Gods, kings, machines, kells, empires, houses. The traveler? What of the traveler? When will it wake? What will happen when it wakes? Tell us, where do you believe the future of the light lies. How do you think this will all end?

  • Feeling like a lot of the lore and goings on in the game point towards the fallen becoming allies at some point. They aren't the darkness, they're running from it and trying to reclaim the traveler after it abandoned them and fled their worlds... Maybe the same will happen to us? Maybe when the traveler wakes it's just going to bog off to some other part of the universe, perhaps leaving the guardians in the same position as the fallen, to chase it in the hope of finding shelter an reclaiming the golden age. Always the option that the traveler is not the benevolent entity it's made out to be. That it is in fact what caused the collapse in the first place, intentionally or otherwise. Grimoir cards theorise that the darkness is "the equal and opposite force" to the traveler and similar ideas. Maybe destroying the traveler would erase the darkness? Ten years is a long time. Most games only have to worry about a few hours of story per game and maybe then linking that to sequels. A lot could happen. Given that bungie seem to have made some extra effort in TTK to move lore from grimoir into game it should be good.
