Of course. So the hive in the very beginning were not the hive. They were a very very weak race that was on the verge of extinction. That is when the traveler appeared to them. But also when the traveler appeared so did the worms. These worms were the living embodiment of the darkness, they are often referred to as the Ahmkara. Around this time three princess were reachin[i][/i]g their prime and feeling the threat of the impending doom of their race they sought power to help them become strong. *On a note the average lifespan of these creatures was 10 years
At first they sought the travelers power but the worms contacted them first and convinced them that the Traveler was creating a massive world destroying wave to wipe out the weak Hive ( when in fact it was the worms manipulating them) these three princesses and sisters (Auryx, Savathun, and Xivu Arath) entered the deep aka darkness and sought out the worm, while there the worms wipe out their race.
After the sisters find the worms they learn of the destruction of their race and enraged accept the powers of the darkness.... and this next part I'm going to link an article that summarizes it better than I do. Then I will pick up afterwards http://gamerant.com/destiny-book-sorrow-oryx-taken-king/

由Edcub One编辑: 2/23/2016 2:44:24 AMIdk, it's still a physical place. I fully believe Precursors would be able to ignore this as they have no connections to physics or our concepts. I'm not sure about Flood or Forerunners though. The Halos were able to kill Keyminds, who infected and took control of reality (I couldn't say if they could infect the Hive realms). But their are a number of interpretations about the events in the books, so I can't say for sure.

Hmm the way the Takeening ( i just made that term up) works is that Oryx shows whatever he is taking a release from themselves. He takes away their fear and replaces it with power and in doing so subjecting them to his Will. It works best on those with primordial fear, which tend to be anything. The only thing known to resist it are the dead/machine (so non living organisms) and beings filled with light

由Edcub One编辑: 2/23/2016 3:29:55 AMWell their is nothing that a Precursors has to fear. The group of Precursors in the Milky Way let the Forerunners kill them because they had never gone extinct before. Although some like the Primordial wanted to resist and were stopped by the rest of the Precursors.

由Edcub One编辑: 2/23/2016 3:40:34 AMThey are transcendent reality warpers, there is nothing that can kill them in the Halo universe (or any physical universe), not even the Halos themselves. Actually the Flood is The results of the remains of 1000 precursors who turned their bodies to dust to be restored at a later date being corrupted (supposedly it was the passing of 10 million years that corrupted the dust, but it may have also been the Primordial).

Huh fascinating. I wander what the vex would do with these guys because they successfully recreated Oryx in their image when they breached the Throne World. I wander if they could recreate the Precursor to further study and destroy it if necessary
