This was, however, exactly what Riven wanted. As an Ahamkara, Riven was able to transcend death in order to grant one last wish made by the Guardians' collective wish to save the city: Altering the rules of ascendancy within the Dreaming City as the realm became cursed partially into the [[Ascendant Realm|Ascendant Plane]] and trapped in a three-week time loop actualized by the Taken [[Quria, Blade Transform]]. Even after death, Riven was freed from her prison and her soul became tied to her killers as her Siren would continue to whisper at them, specifically when they reach Mara Sov's former throne world, [[Eleusinia]]. | This was, however, exactly what Riven wanted.

===One Final Wish=== | |||
Years after Riven's corporeal death which freed her form her Taken curse, the Guardians and the Vanguard Coalition, following various conflicts and unnerving revelations, would be forced to raise the Last Ahamkara's spirit so she can perform the 15th wish, the "one we would cherish" as she spoke, which turned out to be the Witch Queen's wish prior to her demise. Using the Wall of Wishes once more and Queen Mara's Techuens performing a spell to awaken Riven's spirit with her heart, the Guardians and Mara ask for the Wish for a new pathway. Riven's spirit, though diminished yet still strong enough to perform one more wish, awakens as planned but to the Awoken Queen's surprise and frustration, the Ahamkara refuses to grant them their wish. In a private conversation with Mara, Riven states she has no reason to grant it as she is dead along with the rest of her kind. Riven recounts how it wasn't enough for the Awoken Queen to send the Guardians to slay her but also have her forces to destroy her eggs. Or so Mara thought, as one was found within [[Savathûn's Spire]]. Riven admits that she hid some of her eggs within the bowels of her lair to protect them from Mara's wrath and if she were to ensure their safety, then the Ahamkara will perform the final wish. Despite the risk of allowing the Ahamkara species to thrive and terrorize the Sol System once again yet desperate for the means to follow [[The Witness]], the Awoken Queen agrees to Riven's bargain. | |||
Though the bargain angers many, Petra Venj and Crow among them, Mara believes there is little choice and thus instructs the Guardians to descend into Riven's Lair to find her clutch of eggs, slaying [[Sol Divisive]] Vex throughout the way. However, after reaching the end and opening the vault, they find it empty, angering Riven. Mara voices her innocence before ordering Petra and her Techuens to find out what happened. In time, Petra uncovers that somehow, Riven's eggs were cast into the Ascendant Plane, leaving to orbit the material plane like comets to a sun. However, Petra believes that they can employ the same strategy of using the Ley Lines in the Dreaming City to "catch" them, similar to how the Queen's Techuens were lost in the Ascendant Plane. The plan succeeds to catching one egg, brining it to Riven's Lair before the Vex could capture it themselves. | |||
