With the House of Salvation now rising to prominence on [[Europa]], the Priestess attended a ceremony organised by Eramis to address their newly formed House. Held within the main chambers of [[Riis-Reborn Approach]], Kridis stood alongside other Council members, but was absent of the traitorous Variks. The Council reformed themselves into the Dark Council as they embraced the [[Darkness]]. Kridis listened closely to Eramis who spoke out against the chains that have slaved the Eliksni race as they became servants to the Great Machine that abandoned them. She then helped Eramis present a Servitor to the audience as an idol built in its image. The Servitor is destroyed by Eramis through the use of Stasis as its destruction ushered in their freedom. Kridis then watched her close friend Phylaks gain the ability to use Stasis by retrieving a [[Splinter of Darkness|Splinter]] from a [[Crux of Darkness|Crux]].

Kridis continued sending more Radio transmissions on behalf of her Kell and called for more Eliksni to join their House. She claimed that the Traveler's morphing was a sign that it feared their growing force and their time for vengeance against it drew near. She decreed that they will have no gods, but themselves and highlighted their great strength by surviving many battles and the Whirlwind and crafting technology from ruins, while subsisting on Ether. Kridis also proclaimed that Eramis will unite their people under one banner as her Kell found a new promise that will elevate them to their true prominence. | Kridis continued sending more Radio transmissions on behalf of her Kell and called for more Eliksni to join their House.

Later Eramis held an emergency meeting with Kridis and Atraks and informed them that Praksis and Phylaks were dead and they must retaliate. Eramis ordered Atraks to return to the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] and to prepare the body of [[Taniks]] as she and Kridis can handle the situation.

Eramis ordered Atraks to return to the [[Deep Stone Crypt]] and to prepare the body of [[Taniks]] as she and Kridis can handle the situation. As Atraks leaves the scene, Kridis asked her friend to take pause as they do not understand the power they wield. Eramis listened with frustration as Kridis explained how she is also impatient, but there is wisdom in caution. As Eramis considered the words of her close friend, she began losing control of her Stasis gauntlet and smashed the ice off it as Kridis watched with growing concern. Eramis retorts with anger that caution has done nothing for them as their enemies exploited their weakness and now is the time to act. Eramis leaves the scene after declaring to Kridis that she will give the Guardians the destruction they crave.<ref name="Techno">'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[The Technocrat]]''</ref> | ||
However the erratic behaviour of Eramis led to her demise after her gauntlets malfunctioned and froze her into a Stasis statue during the battle against the Guardians. Unbeknownst to the [[Vanguard]], Kridis assumed leadership from the shadows following her Kell's defeat. Commander [[Zavala]] sought take advantage of the [[Vex]] incursion within Riis Reborn and sent the Guardians to destabilise the House. However, the Salvation forces held up better than expected against the Vex and Variks suspected someone may have replaced Eramis as the Fallen appear more organised. Later, Kridis is found idle in a Stasis pose and mocked the machine spawns who thought they could defeat her Kell so easily.

As the Guardians approached her, Kridis [[transmat]]ted away and declared that Eramis will rise again and has only transformed. She then deployed Fallen reinforcements and a [[Salvation Walker]] imported from the [[House of Devils|Devils]], but the Guardians defeated her forces and informed Zavala that she got away. Zavala replied that they cannot allow Kridis to rebuild the empire as she slipped through their radar before and enlisted Variks to help with his insider knowledge.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[The Aftermath]]''</ref> | ||

He provided intel from his spies that Kridis aimed to revive her House and her followers began hoarding remnants of the Dark for unknown reasons. The Guardians collected artifacts called Flecks of Dark from the Fallen in [[Cadmus Ridge]] to provide clues to Kridis' plan. Later more Fallen attempted to leave the rule of Kridis as her devotion to the Dark had swayed them to seek refuge with the [[House of Light]] and [[House of Dusk]]. The [[Archon Aspirant]]s are deployed in [[Eventide Ruins]] to prevent a [[Skiff]] from leaving, but the Guardians would dispose of Kridis' Aspirants and freed the Skiff. Later it is discovered that Kridis was preparing a mysterious ritual by using Darkness. | ||
As the Guardians journeyed to Riis Reborn to investigate her ritual, Variks claimed that unlike Eramis who wished to destroy gods, Kridis choose to search for meaning through the Darkness. Transmissions from Kridis are picked by the radio channels as she preached to her House that Eramiskel was merely asleep and the Darkness had granted her the gift to rouse her slumber. She declared that Eramis had only began as her Kell will unleash a "storm of blood and ice" upon their foes.

She declared that Eramis had only began as her Kell will unleash a "storm of blood and ice" upon their foes. She further claimed that Eramis' transformation was a means by which she was exploring the deeper secrets of the Darkness and she will return not as a Kell, but as a god. Kridis declared that the Darkness had granted her visions of Eramis' journey and named her as the escort to bring Eramis back to her faithful people. Followers of Kridis such as [[Sniksis, House Salvation|Sniksis]] and [[Piksis, House Salvation|Piksis]] are defeated by the Guardians and later they encounter [[Yamiks Prime]] who was enlisted to guard the pathway due to the importance of recovering Eramis. Her [[Prime Servitor]] attempted to fend off the Guardians with reinforcements, but fell at their hands. | ||
The Priestess now known as the Dark Priestess, an Archon of the Dark, greeted the Guardians as spawns of the Traitor Machine and asked if they had come to witness the ascension of a god through Eramis. Unlike her counterparts who relied on their gauntlets created by Praksis to wield Stasis, Kridis demonstrated higher mastery of Stasis by crafting a pair of crystal swords and choose to place her Splinters near her mouth.

She deployed reinforcements to tackle the Guardians and [[Defiled Servitor]]s provided her an immunity shield as she blasted them with unique projectiles of Stasis. However despite her powers, Kridis was slain by the Guardians and brought the end to her plans and reign of the Kell of Darkness.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], PlayStation 4, [[The Dark Priestess]]''</ref> | ||
