The Hive watch as their leaders, Savathûn, Xivu Arath, and | The Hive watch as their leaders, Savathûn, Xivu Arath, and Auryx mutually embrace one another, interpreting it as weakness with contempt. They note how they have never despised their lords before, musing over whether they failed them after a number of setbacks. | ||
Savathûn admits she is at her end—despite her planning she still cannot escape her worm's insatiable appetite, no matter how hard she tries. Xivu Arath adds that she slaughters and kills but the harder she fights, the more her worm demands. Auryx mourns his repeated deaths at the hands of the Ecumene war angels, that he dared not go back into the universe for fear he needed his own strength to protect himself rather than offer as tribute. Xivu Arath advises her sisters that they should rest, and Savathûn believes they should enquire instructions of the Worms. The gathered Hive wonder if their crusade has finally come to end at this revelation. | Savathûn admits she is at her end—despite her planning she still cannot escape her worm's insatiable appetite, no matter how hard she tries.
