The War Cult's leader attempted to sway the Guardians to her point of view but was rebuffed, leading her to make an attempt on using a Vex portal to force the eliksni out of the Last City, apparently aided by Osiris himself. Unfortunately for [[Lakshmi-2]], she had no control over the Vex portal as she believed, leading the Vex to make a direct assault on the Last City, threaten the House of Light and to her own death. Fortunately, the Guardians managed to close the portal, save the eliksni and destroyed the Vex. Strangely, Osiris disappeared during the chaos, leading many in the Tower to suspect he may have been involved in some capacity. | ||
Tracking Osiris to the Reef, The Guardian, along with Saint-14 and Crow entered the Dreaming City and found "Osiris" speaking with [[Mara Sov]] herself. The three lightbearers attempted to convince "Osiris" to return but instead the formerly exiled warlock backed away and revealed that the Osiris they knew was actually Savathûn herself, to their utter horror. Mara Sov comes between them and encases the Witch Queen in a large crystal. Saint-14 demands answers and Savathûn reveals that she took Osiris' form to hide herself from her sister, Xivu Arath, who now hunts her on another's behalf. To further save herself, Savathûn agreed to a bargain with Mara Sov. In exchange for excising the worm inside her, Savathûn would release Osiris. Wary of the infamous Queen of Lies yet desperate to save their friend, agree to help Mara Sov with her bargain, as the Awoken Queen wishes to save her people lost in the Ascendant Plane. | Tracking Osiris to the Reef, The Guardian, along with Saint-14 and Crow entered the Dreaming City and found "Osiris" speaking with [[Mara Sov]] herself.

Needing her Techeun Coven to help her excise Savathûn's worm and prevent Xivu Arath from fully corrupting reality through the dimensional Ley Lines, Mara Sov fully allies the Awoken with the Guardians of the Last City, having the Guardians traverse the Ascendant Realm and liberate the [[Techeun]]s. As they do so, Savathûn herself remains bound in crystal but requests meeting with the Guardian face to face. Warily, the Guardians agree to meet with the Witch Queen, who states the only "regret" she bears is how long it took for her to meet with the Guardian. Further, she states that for quite some time, she has been "helping" the Guardian during her time before posing as Osiris, "protecting" them from the Black Fleet, from guiding Crow to the Last City to be redeemed, preventing Zavala in making war with [[Empress Caiatl]], bringing the House of Light to the Last City to even exposing Lakshmi's conspiracy. She even states that she saved Osiris from Xivu Arath when he became Lightless. From there Savathûn states that while they may not agree with her methods, she states that she is no villain, that the Guardian is no hero but that they are both "paracausal". | Needing her Techeun Coven to help her excise Savathûn's worm and prevent Xivu Arath from fully corrupting reality through the dimensional Ley Lines, Mara Sov fully allies the Awoken with the Guardians of the Last City, having the Guardians traverse the Ascendant Realm and liberate the [[Techeun]]s.

Though shaken by this truth, the Guardians continue with the plan to find the Techeuns for Mara Sov, who believes that once the worm is removed from Savathûn, she will have no more lies to hide behind and will be vulnerable without a Throne World to retreat to, allowing Mara Sov to strike her down. Even so, the Guardians, Ikora Rey in particular are incredibly suspicious, more so as Crow reveals that during her time posing as Osiris, she had Crow gather dead Ghosts from the Spider's collection. For what purpose, none could say at the time.|}} | Though shaken by this truth, the Guardians continue with the plan to find the Techeuns for Mara Sov, who believes that once the worm is removed from Savathûn, she will have no more lies to hide behind and will be vulnerable without a Throne World to retreat to, allowing Mara Sov to strike her down.

Savathûn would later have another meeting with the Guardian explaining that they can't stop the inevitable, that everything she spoke towards Crow during her time posing as Osiris, her words of encouragement and confidence were sincere. She wishes to speak with Crow, to explain the reason behind the things she had done, stating that until he does, he remains vulnerable to "false promises" from "supposed benefactor". Despite this wish, both Ikora and Mara Sov refuse to allow Crow to meet with Savathûn, believing that he would be susceptible to her lies and trickery, which angers Crow.|}} | |||
