So we have a prophecy, of the witness communing with the traveler, drinking the light...I guess another stating it would infect the light with darkness.
The alpha lupi lore, maybe other stuff too, make it seem like it used to be powerful, and it realizes it will be powerful again (referencing the traveler here). Well, what if the communion, the infection is...memory or consciousness. Maybe we woke the traveler, maybe we healed, what if now it's meant to have its consciousness and memories back. All the ghosts get funneled back in, and we get to meet the real traveler...and it turns out to be a sadistic lil -blam!-. (I kid)
Edit: Managed to still forget another thing. So we have the nine which have consciousness, that started as a loop...and kind of like algorithms for AI minds began to expand that loop of thought. I'm thinking though, the universe itself is the conscious entity, and birthed other ideas that began to think on its own...man, it doesn't sound right. We will use strand to pluck upon the consciousness of reality, like we are the sub thought, from a sub thought. Still not coming out right, oh well.
Also, still think the witness is an avatar for the Warmind...felt like I need to keep that fire lit, and keep the rage going.

The sadistic part is funny as he||😂😂😂. That made me laugh Ty! I agree as well, maybe the traveler is a murderous sociopath😅.
