Later, Mara was proclaimed Queen of The Reef and a Fallen [[Ketch]] arrived shortly after; only to be destroyed by Awoken weaponry. A fleet of [[Skiff]]s scattered across the Reef and began raiding. Sjur killed the commanding [[Baron]] and destroyed his [[Walker]] and nearly died due to the resulting explosion, but was completely unharmed as the result of Mara's unconscious paracausal abilities.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Revanche_V|Revanche V]]''</ref> Mara and Sjur eventually drifted apart, as a result of both Mara's incipient apotheosis and her desire to see Sjur achieve her own fullest potential.<ref name = "Telic II">'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Telic_II|Telic II]]''</ref> | |||
As the Awoken civilization prospered, Mara Sov appointed Sjur as her [[Queen's Wrath]] as she was the only Awoken to survive an [[Aphelion]] attack.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/comments/9gcjjp/pilgrimage_patrol_lore Pilgrimage Lore]</ref> In a quest to understand herself, Mara went to Sjur to make a confession. At the time, Sjur was making a list of incredibly stupid and fatal bounties for Guardians to undertake.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Tyrannocide_II|Tyrannocide II]]''</ref> | |||
Mara confessed to Sjur in privacy that she had been the first Awoken, and had denied them the chance to become gods when they first self-created on [[Distributary]], and was therefore responsible for all the mortal suffering the Awoken had ever experienced past that point. Sjur brushed off Mara's concerns, believing that her actions were intended for a greater good, and kissed her before accusing her of confessing only to hide some greater secret. Mara explained that she planned to become a god, but Sjur found her explanation incomprehensible and moved on to other matters.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken (expansion)|Forsaken]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:The_Awoken_of_the_Reef#Tyrannocide_III|Tyrannocide III]]''</ref> | |||
