Not long after Mara's return to the Dreaming City, [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]] arrived in the form of Osiris.

The Hive Goddess of Deception revealed that she had been impersonating the Warlock for some time and offered Mara a deal: in return for helping to rid Savathûn of her [[Savathûn's worm|Worm]] and protection from her sister Xivu Arath she would return the real Osiris, offer aid against the Black Fleet, and end the curse on the Dreaming City. Mara agreed to the deal, but they were interrupted when [[Uldren Sov|the Crow]] arrived and Mara turned to regard the reanimated form of her brother with some surprise. She stated that she had hoped he would find his way back, but the Crow admitted though the place was familiar he was lost before questioning if they knew each other. Before Mara could answer the Young Wolf and [[Saint-14]] joined Crow, with the three having been in pursuit of "Osiris" for crimes in the Last City. Savathûn mocked the Guardians and Mara before beginning her transformation into her true form, which Mara quickly sealed within a cocoon using her magics. Saint demanded answers as to where Osiris was, but Mara requested he lower his weapon and reassured Saint that his partner still lived. The two queens explained the deal they had reached to the Guardians, who were skeptical about trusting Savathûn. Saint threatened the Witch-Queen before departing to inform the Vanguard of what had transpired. Mara addressed Crow and the Young Wolf and asked them to tread the line between Light and Darkness with her for the sake of Osiris. She provided the Young Wolf a Wayfinder's Compass to aid them in their mission before turning to regard Crow, who was staring at Savathûn's cocoon. The two shared a silent look before Crow turned his attention back the imprisoned Hive God.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Cocoon]]''</ref> | ||
After speaking to the Guardian Mara summoned Petra into her private meditation chamber. As Mara studied another Wayfinder's Compass, she told Petra that her reports could wait and that she had been examining the advance of Xivu Arath through the Ley Lines and in the Ascendant Plane around the Dreaming City. The Queen had concluded that only Petra's leadership and defense of the Dreaming City had prevented it from falling to the Hive and Taken and expressed her gratitude for her Wrath's service. She reassured her servant that she knew it had not been easy but that some victories were simply matters of surviving and edging out defeat. Petra questioned if Mara had experience with that, causing Mara's eyes to flash before she chuckled and stated she did, which was something that linked the two of them together. Mara then noted that some of the lost Techeuns were like sisters to Petra, which her Wrath confirmed, and Mara comforted her with the knowledge that she could still feel their minds the Ascendant Plane and that they would return to her just as Mara had.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/8/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Lost]] - [[Jumpship|Jumpship Lore]]: [[Reefborn Warbird]]''</ref> | After speaking to the Guardian Mara summoned Petra into her private meditation chamber.
