Note: I saw a post on the Traveler (tag credited below) directly related to the Secrets I've been writing about... before I knew it, I was writing it in their topic... 😂 I was going to wait, but then I just copied it all here & finished it. 2nd Note: I messed up a few of the video links below (Truths)... but I fixed them to link to the correct videos. [url=https://www.destinypedia.com/Grimoire:Allies/The_Traveler]Savathun's Origin[/url] "[b][u]The Traveler[/u][/b] [i]Everything changed with the coming of the Traveler. [u]It gave us gifts[/u] that transformed the solar system and the nature of human life. It ushered in the Golden Age, a time of miracles. [u]But it never shared its deepest secrets[/u]. Where did the Traveler come from? Why did it offer us so much? Did it know it was being hunted across the stars? And why, when the Darkness came, did it choose to stay and fight for us? Now the Traveler hangs, silent, above humanity's final sanctuary. It may be healing. It may be dying. It gave everything it had to save us. And now its power lies with us, its Guardians.[/i] [b][u]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler[/u][/b] [i]You have lived as invisibly as possible, flicking from solar system to solar system, [u]making grand plans[/u], overseeing the culturing of civilizations, before leaving in a blink. But you have no recollection of ever wanting worship or even thanks from those blessed by you. But memory is heavy now. It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move. Now, your flight is rapid, your vast mind infected with such dread and toxic doubt that you find yourself afraid of the simple act of thought. [u]And it is your children you must turn to now, in time of need.[/u][/i] [b][u]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 2[/u][/b] [i]This has been such a long chase. This will be the place you will fight. Fight and win. But do you really know why you go where you go, and where this journey is taking you? The chase leads you where you need to be, you believe. Unless...you are being pushed.[/i] [b][u]Ghost Fragment: The Traveler 3[/u][/b] [i]The knife had a million blades. And you were giant, powerful and swift. But the knife pinned you. Cut your flesh away. Very little was left, you are sure, because you feel insignificant now. The hard slick heart of your soul: That is what remains. [u]A body small as a river stone[/u], and just as simple. You picture yourself as a piece of indigestible grit, [u]a nameless nothing hiding among other nameless stones[/u]. Perhaps you glitter like a gem, yes. Pride makes you hope so. If only you could see yourself. But you have no eyes. Not the dimmest sense survives. What lives is memory, and what slim portion of these thoughts can you [u]trust[/u]? The knife stole much more than your body".[/i] This isn't about the Traveler... It is and it isn't. It's about "Secrets". Here's the exercise; read this as though it was a person... a [spoiler]"Mother".[/spoiler] [u][b]"And it is your children you must turn to now, in time of need".[/b][/u] This about the false [spoiler]Mother.[/spoiler] This is Savathun, the moment she accepted the "gift"... when she was cursed. That's my theory. Secrets. She's talking about stones in a pond... who was talking about that recently 😉? Hmmm? Who's daughter is she? Thank you @Veilfire07... I was hoping someone would bring up this lore 😇👍💠. Note: We're getting closer and closer to my theory, we're almost there. Where? I'm not 100% sure... BUT (don't read the next spoiler) who fits? If this was a person talking about pond stones & secrets? Her children? [spoiler]Osana Sov [/spoiler] Where would you... could you place such cosmic pond stones? I won't answer this one. Where does this story begin & end? "making grand plans" ""There is only the plan," Illyn said".

They are also the most secure, since they can be made to retain their information until they evaporate in the deep cosmic future. The Hive operate small singularity computers, such as the World's Grave, and the Vex sometimes pack enough energy and information into a small area of spacetime to collapse it into kugelblitz black hole like the one you can see outside. But a true stellar-mass or galactic-mass black hole computer is inconceivably more powerful. "If Savathûn plans to predicate her existence on the concealment of her secrets, as Oryx predicated his upon the sword logic, it would be logical for her to safeguard her deepest secrets and her throne world in a supermassive black hole computer. To defeat her would require a journey below the event horizon and the exposure of her most jealously guarded truths."" [/i] Guardians... this is [b]The Galaxy Pools[/b]. That's the computer Savathun used to create the simulation, the universe, the timeline we exist in. This is where she places the pond stones to manipulate fate... to control Destiny.

My recommendation is to read through this first... despite it being the last in my series... the "end is the beginning"... they're all "looped" together.
