Eriana and Wei Ning were among the thousands of [[Guardian]]s who launched an assault against the [[Hive]] forces entrenched on the [[Moon]]. During the battle, Eriana and several other Guardians took a Hive [[Wizard]] prisoner, torturing it with [[Light]]. She learned of the name, [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]], and saw through the Wizard's mind as the Hive God [[Prince]] killed Wei Ning. She sought information on how to kill Crota from the Wizard, and was telepathically shown images of [[Crota's realm]] and the [[Oversoul]], but another Guardian informed her that Crota was operating on the [[Mare Imbrium]] front, carving his way through the Guardians. As Eriana pressed for the means to reach Crota's realm and kill him, the Wizard mocked her, showing how it had tortured an [[Awoken]] man in the exact same way Eriana was interrogating it and claimed they were the same before dying. Eriana ordered the Wizard's body be incinerated and their [[Sparrow]]s be summoned so they could join the battle, hoping that their Light would be enough to turn the tide. However, the Guardians soon abandoned the battle and fled back to Earth, with the failed campaign becoming known as "[[the Great Disaster]]".<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Guardian/Classes#Ghost_Fragment:_Warlock_2|Ghost Fragment: Warlock 2]]''</ref> | Eriana and Wei Ning were among the thousands of [[Guardian]]s who launched an assault against the [[Hive]] forces entrenched on the [[Moon]].

In the aftermath of the battle, Eriana returned to the saloon where she had met Wei Ning and proceeded to drown her grief in alcohol, as the saloon was offering free drinks after the tragic losses the City had taken. She was eventually approached by Eris and was happy that her friend had survived the battle. Eriana mournfully recounted how she had met Wei Ning there and bitterly lamented that it was far too quiet now without her laughter. She began to yell at the other patrons, begging for someone to laugh and fill the grieving silence. After falling silent herself, Eriana told Eris that she missed Wei Ning so much, and her friend sympathized with her plight.<ref name="GFE3">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Luna%27s_Lost#Ghost_Fragment:_Eriana-3.27s_Ghost|Ghost Fragment: Eriana's Ghost]]''</ref> | |||
