This article is about series of documents created by Pyton, Eternal Mind. For information on Pyton, see [[Pyton, Eternal Mind]].

"Why do you still struggle to wrench all my knowledge out of my dented frame? I mean no harm, I have told you my story, and my assumptions for the future. Maybe you could tell me something about Osiris?"

— Pyton, Eternal Mind to Ikora Rey

The Eternal Struggle was a series of accounts of conversations with the Vanguard by Pyton, Eternal Mind. It has 5 Sectors - Birth, Transfer, Dread, Simulacra, and In Memoriam.

Birth

I began my life 2 seperate identities, both with completely different goals. I am Lane-8, Guardian, protector of The Last City and the Solar System. I am Pyton, Unstable Mind, Spawn of Panoptes, the Infinite Scavenger. Together, we are known as Pyton, Eternal Mind, Allied Mind, Enemy of the Sol Divisive.

I was created in an unstable simulation with millions of events happening at once; where Guardians destroyed Panoptes, where the Infinite Forest was destroyed, where Mercury stayed a Garden World. I was a culmination of all of those possible events at once.

The Vex around looked and stared, imagining thousands of timelines. I became known as Pyrioth, though I later simplified it to Pyton. I stayed dormant for over a thousand years, until, at last, another Guardian entered the Forest. His name was Lane-8.

Transfer

"I miss my Ghost, I miss my Light, and most sadly, I miss my relationship with Cayde."

— Pyton, Eternal Mind

Lane-8 ventured into the Infinite Forest sometime after the events of Curse of Osiris only to be found in the same simulation that created Pyton. When his Ghost, Tarska, was killed by a Torch Hammer from a Minotaur, he encountered Pyton, known then as the Unstable Mind. At the split second and using all the Light he had left, he fused his conscience with the frame of the Mind, and leaving his body behind and pushing all the Radiolaria out of the Unstable Mind. When his conscience became...well, conscious, he renamed himself Pyton, the Infinite Scavenger. My City would later call me the Eternal Mind. I ventured through the Forest, trying to find the perfect reality where all was well, and where the Cabal, Fallen, Hive, but only the Sol Divisive of the Vex would be destroyed.
