Uldren Sov: Difference between revisions

Following the Vanguard-Cabal Coalition holding back against the Lucent Brood, they would face the surprise return of [[The Leviathan]], the personal vessel of the former emperor of the Cabal, [[Calus]], hanging derelict near Luna. Worse, it appeared to be broadcasting a call towards the Lunar Pyramid beneath the moon's surface, leading the Nightmare phantoms to resurge, swarm the massive ship and torment anyone that gets too close. [[Eris Morn]], placed in charge of [[Operation Midas]], developed a method to that give the Guardians the means to safely traverse the Leviathan and sever the connections Calus was looking to make with the Pyramid but it required a ritual for its members to offer their most painful memories to the [[Crown of Sorrow]]. Crow took part in the ritual with Zavala, offering his "memories", the cloth that covered his body when he was first risen, to the crown. The ritual succeeds but Crow would now be actively tormented by the [[Nightmare of Uldren]], his former identity.

 

Becoming the first to partake in the Severance Ritual to break the first connection Calus was forging with the Pyramid, Crow would constantly be taunted by the Nightmare of his former self, making remarks on the decisions he had made that ended in tragedy, combating that Scorn to even having the knowledge that Mara Sov is his sister. These taunts enrage Crow immensely, rejecting that he is like Uldren. Yet, as the ritual commences, the [[Nightmare of the Fanatic]] emerges, forcing the Guardian to fight it. Despite his best efforts, Crow breaks down, causing the ritual to fail. Upon his knees, sobbing, Crow denounces everything Uldren is and has done but despite Eris's efforts to comfort him, Crow remains depressed, returning to the Tower in shame. It only gets worse upon returning as Crow was contacted by an angry Amanda Holliday, who demands answers for him not telling her the truth of his identity as the murderer of her friend Cayde-6. Though Crow weakly tried to state that the situation isn't the right time, Amanda only got more angry, denouncing him for his lies, breaking off their friendship which leaves Crow broken hearted as he attempts to apologize.
