Sometime after their training began, Austyn and her twelve fellow [[Techeun]] coven sisters were brought to the [[Dreaming City]] to live and practice their abilities within a building that was a nexus of several [[Ley Lines]]. The ongoing war against the [[Taken]] curse corrupting the city frequently disrupted their training. During one session, Austyn watched as [[Ylaia]] struggled to interact with the Ley Lines, being the only one amongst the thirteen unable to do so. She warned Ylaia that the lines would shift soon, but her fellow student's concentration was broken by a nearby explosion that shook the building. As Ylaia threw her focusing crystal across the room and expressed her frustration with living in a war zone, Austyn began noting that if she could not connect with the Ley Lines at a powerful crossroads she might not be able to at all, but her coven sister cut her off in anger and vowed to try again. The [[Queen's Wrath]] [[Petra Venj]] then arrived and began advising them on her own struggles she had faced during her own brief time training as a Techeun.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Pathfinder%27s_Suit#Pathfinder's_Grips_/_Gauntlets_/_Wraps|Pathfinder's Grips / Gauntlets / Wraps]]''</ref> | Sometime after their training began, Austyn and her twelve fellow [[Techeun]] coven sisters were brought to the [[Dreaming City]] to live and practice their abilities within a building that was a nexus of several [[Ley Lines]].

During her mental explorations of the Plane, she discovered an obscured region of power with a presence reaching out from inside that she suspected was where Mara had hidden herself. One night, as the rest of her coven slept around her, Austyn resolved to make contact with the presence. However, instead of finding Mara, Austyn's consciousness was pulled into a nightmare region of war and noise where she witnessed [[Xivu Arath, God of War]] on a terrace next to two empty thrones. Austyn was awoken from her meditation by Petra's worried voice and came to drenched in sweat and heat. The Queen's Wrath questioned if she was alright, but Austyn knew that she would not be allowed to help bring the Queen back if the others knew what she had done. Austyn lied to Petra and reassured her she had only suffered a nightmare and thanked her for waking her up.<ref name="PFLGP">'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Pathfinder%27s_Suit#Pathfinder's_Legguards_/_Greaves_/_Pants|Pathfinder's Legguards / Greaves / Pants]]''</ref> | After Austyn and her coven sisters underwent augment surgery to enhance their abilities and advance to the rank of Adept,<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Pathfinder%27s_Suit#Pathfinder's_Tunic_/_Chestplate_/_Robe|Pathfinder's Tunic / Chestplate / Robe]]''</ref> Austyn began using her powers to enter a state of symbiosis with the [[Ascendant realm|Ascendant Plane]] to see into the dreams of the other Techeuns and Petra, learning many secrets from them and gaining the knowledge that they were meant to help guide [[Queen]] [[Mara Sov]] safely back to the Dreaming City.

When the time came to bring Mara back, Austyn gathered with her twelve coven sisters in the [[Blind Well]] under the supervision of Petra and [[Sedia]]. Austyn formed the primary core with Ylaia and [[Sjari]] while the other ten Techeuns formed a circle around them and a [[Wayfinder's Compass]]. Together, they left the Blind Well and traveled through Ley Lines to the Queen's hiding place, where Mara greeted them and asked them to take her home. However, Austyn spotted the noise she had previously encountered approaching. Keeping one eye on the other presence, she joined her coven sisters in focusing on the Dreaming City and jumping across Ley Lines back to it. The presence followed Austyn across the Lines, drawing Mara's disapproving eye when she sensed the pursuit and what caused it. Although the Queen fought back to stop the pursuit, Austyn realized it was encircling and gaining on them, and her fear was felt by and infected the rest of the coven. Realizing that Mara must reach the Dreaming City, Austyn and the other Techeuns swiftly planned to scatter themselves across the Ascendant Plane to draw off Xivu Arath's horde. Passing the Wayfinder's Compass to the Queen, Austyn and her fellow sisters enacted their plan and successfully sent Mara back to the city.<ref name="PFHMB">'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Pathfinder%27s_Suit#Pathfinder%27s_Hood_%2F_Mark_%2F_Bond|Pathfinder's Hood / Mark / Bond]]''</ref> | When the time came to bring Mara back, Austyn gathered with her twelve coven sisters in the [[Blind Well]] under the supervision of Petra and [[Sedia]].
