More than a year come full circle, the remaining two daughters of Crota in their hiding along with the very last of the noble dynasty of the once great God-King of the Hive, [[Oryx, the Taken King|Oryx]], were dealt another death blow. Almost a week after the Guardian's investigation's and toils on [[Europa]], the legendary warlock [[Osiris]] came to Luna after tracking the most potent of the Cryptolith's signals across the Solar System. Beneath the shadow of the Lunar Pyramid, Osiris came across a massive gathering of Hive that featured the remaining entirety of the Scarlet Court, including the daughters, along with the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]].

Beneath the shadow of the Lunar Pyramid, Osiris came across a massive gathering of Hive that featured the remaining entirety of the Scarlet Court, including the daughters, along with the [[High Celebrant of Xivu Arath]]. Acting as the God of War's envoy, the High Celebrant was sent to Luna to wrestle the Swarm free from the [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Witch Queen's]] plans and instead reform Luna in [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath's]] image: A world where all tithes were tribute to her. | ||
In an audacious and "suicidal" move as described by [[Sagira]], Osiris descended upon the gathering as the mighty Phoenix he was and began to slaughter the gathering. In the year since the events of Shadowkeep, [[Voshyr]] and [[Kinox]] had both heirs and sons/daughters of their own - more nobles to Oryx's legacy. These same offspring would be with their respective mothers in their final moments. Voshyr and her two daughters [[Yishra]] and [[Ayriax]] were the first to perish before they could even finish their incantation - incinerated by Osiris' [[Daybreak]]. Kinox was soon to be second who attempted fleeing into the crevices of Luna with her son [[Ulg'Urin]] and his cohort of Knights raising shields to defend her only to perish from a [[Nova Bomb]]. The remaining lesser nobles were killed in the slaughter. Osiris was then stripped of his supers when the visage and will of Xivu arath emanating from the large Cryptolith taunted him. Osiris was pinned and around him were cleaved Runes in the stone by the High Celebrant. In a stunning and tragic act, Sagira broke through the oppressive force Xivu projected that was slowly killing Osiris and sacrificed herself - destroying the Cryptolith and projection, saving Osiris but leaving him Ghostless. The light in the place of Sagira's sacrifice remained for days.<ref name="Immolant">'''Bungie (2020/11/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]]'', ''[[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#DREAD NOT|Immolant Pt. 2]]''</ref> | In an audacious and "suicidal" move as described by [[Sagira]], Osiris descended upon the gathering as the mighty Phoenix he was and began to slaughter the gathering.
