{{Quote|I was a fool to lead us here. I was blinded by the loss of so much, by your light extinguished. I put my trust, and the light of four others, in a madman, and I bear witness to their fall into darkness and death. Toland's song was nothing but screams, and we go now to sing with them. We will not return.|Eriana-3, in her last recorded message before her death}} | |||
After the Disaster, Eriana was consumed by the desire to gain vengeance for Wei Ning and so devoted herself to Crota's destruction.<ref name="BofC">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Blades_of_Crota|Blades of Crota]]''</ref> She worked together with the Hunter [[Eris Morn]] in order to solve Crota's apparent immortality. Without a ready solution, they sought out knowledge from forbidden Hive arcana, in the form of the exiled Guardian [[Toland, the Shattered]]. Toland described the method in which they could defeat their foe by entering the [[Ascendant Realm]] and slaying the Hive Prince in his throne world. Although Eriana was disturbed by the mad Warlock's obsession with learning Hive secrets and their secret song about death, she and Eris recruited him to join their mission. She also asked three other Guardians, [[Omar Agah]], [[Sai Mota]], and [[Vell Tarlowe]], to aid them their quest to defeat Crota.

As they descended into the Temple and fought through heavy Hive resistance, they heard screams from deeper into the Hive's warrens. Toland identified them as the cries of [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]], and that the announced the birth of new Hive spawn and issued orders to the Hive. Eriana commented that she heard those screams even when they were not there, and wished she could tear the throat of Omnigul out. Toland commented that their mission would be close to successful if she did, as it would end Crota's threat in the physical world. The fireteam decided to pursue the screams to find and eliminate Omnigul.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Omnigul.2C_Will_of_Crota|Omnigul, Will of Crota]]''</ref> However, the fireteam soon suffered their first casualty when Vell underestimated a group of [[Thrall]] and became overwhelmed by their ability to smother his Light.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Enemy of My Enemy]]''</ref> | As they descended into the Temple and fought through heavy Hive resistance, they heard screams from deeper into the Hive's warrens.

Following Vell's death, Eriana and Sai were separated from Eris, Toland, and Omar. Exhausted and injured by their fights against the Hive, their own Light was being rapidly drained. Eriana was unable to find tracks to find their companions, and asked her Ghost for an update. | Following Vell's death, Eriana and Sai were separated from Eris, Toland, and Omar. Exhausted and injured by their fights against the Hive, their own Light was being rapidly drained. Eriana was unable to find tracks to find their companions, and asked her Ghost for an update. She told Eriana that its Light was being drained quickly, and that Sai's Ghost was still functional for the moment but damaged beyond repair and that they had no chance to transmat out or send a message. Eriana ordered her to transmit one anyway, and she began to explain their current situation and how they had slaughtered untold numbers of Hive to get there. In the distance they heard Omnigul's screams, and Eriana stated that they were following the [[Hand of Crota]]. Sai told her the Hand was falling back towards Omnigul's tunnels, causing Eriana to end the message and ask Sai if she was ready. The Hunter claimed her knives were ready for another dance, and Eriana told her friend that she spoke little but always said the right things.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Hand_of_Crota|Hand of Crota]]''</ref> | ||
Eriana and Sai failed to kill Omnigul or the Hand, and Sai was died attempting to escape from Crota's Will. Eriana was left alone, badly hurt and drained of Light. She managed to make it through [[The Stills]] and reached the entrance to the [[Oversoul Throne]], but doing so cost her Ghost any chance of being able to resurrect her. Knowing that she would die in her attempt to slay Crota, she recorded one final message for her lost love Wei Ning that her Ghost would take to the spot where the Titan perished. She begged for Wei Ning's forgiveness for failing to kill Crota and leading her friend's to their deaths, and bitterly regretted having trusted Toland's knowledge to help them survive their mission. She hoped that their fall would serve as a warning to others who might think to kill Crota, and wished that they would simply stay on Earth to defend the Last City rather than throw their lives away.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Moon#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Hellmouth_2|Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth 2]]''</ref> Eriana then entered the Oversoul Throne, where her Light shined brightly before being snuffed out by Crota.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Moon#Ghost_Fragment:_The_Hellmouth|Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth]]''</ref> | |||
