edit: (sorry, this is a bit of a long one, but it flows pretty fast once you start and it's a really good read.) So Just noticed a similarity between Oryx and bungie. A quick little something from the book of sorrows. [quote]NO Savathûn! Xivu Arath! My siblings We are betrayed. We will never live eternal. Our might shatters entire species. We inhale the smoke of their burning. This is our compact with the Worm our God —the worm makes us mighty. But as we wield this might, our worm’s hunger expands. If we fail to feed it, it will devour us from within. We have exterminated three hundred and six worlds. And now I am certain — My worm’s hunger grows faster than the might I draw from it. We are bound by our covenant to obey our nature: eternal search. Eternal cunning. Eternal conquest. But as we do this, my siblings, we feed our worms. And the more we feed them, the hungrier they grow. Faster and faster. Soon, my siblings, we will be so mighty, and our worms so hungry That not with all our might could we possibly feed them. And we will be devoured. WHAT CAN WE DO? [/quote] This sounds awfully familiar. Luke smith recently came out and said we were asking for too much. I remember A time back when the first raid was about to come out and for the most part we were fairly happy.[spoiler](I know someone or other is going to freak the hell out about this comment, just do me a flavor, go eat some ice cream and chill)[/spoiler] Now, It seem like every time I pop on the forums there's something new being "suggested" for bungie to add make or fix. Could we be the worm in this scenario? We gave this game life by investing in it, and when we did we ask of bungie to keep giving us more in return. What if bungie can no longer feed it's worm, falling to the possibility to being consumed by it. Who knows, maybe my rambles are getting ahead of me. But then again, They were able to fix this. another bit: [quote]Beneath a green fire sky, in the throne-world of King Auryx, our lords embrace. We the Hive watch as Savathûn puts her arm around Xivu Arath, and Xivu Arath clasps forearms with Auryx, and Auryx takes Savathûn by the shoulder. They are huge, huge, and they burn with furious power. But this embrace is weakness and we despise it. Never before have we despised our lords. Have they failed us? We the Hive have been driven back, world by world. “I am at my end,” Savathûn says. “I plot and plan. But I cannot gather enough bloodshed to feed my worm. And the harder I try, the hungrier it becomes.” “I slaughter and kill,” Xivu Arath says, “but the harder I fight, the more my worm demands. I too am at my end.” “The Ecumene war angels have killed me so many times,” Auryx says, “that I dare not go out into the universe, lest I need my might to protect myself. My worm chews at my soul in hunger.” Is this the end of our crusade? Are we the Hive unworthy to exist? Xivu Arath puts down her great head. “We should retire and gather our strength.” Savathûn closes her eyes in puzzled defeat. “We should beg the Worm our God to tell us what to do.” But King Auryx, who knows best the beauty of the final shape, roars at them. “Have you learned nothing? Would you deny our purpose? Whatever we do, we will do by killing, by an act of war and might. That is the final arbiter we serve, that violent arbiter, and if we turn away from it we deserve to be eaten. No! We must obey our natures. We must be long-sighted, and cunning, and strong. We must take this gift the Worm our God has given us, this challenge, and find a way to keep existing!” “How will we feed our worms?” Xivu Arath asks. “I know,” says cunning Savathûn. “I know a way. But it won’t work unless we are killing the Ecumene by the billions. How can we beat them?” “If we cannot beat their strengths,” says Xivu Arath, “we must infect their weaknesses. But they are lords of matter and physical law.” “I know a way,” King Auryx says. “But it will require great power. More power than any one of us can claim.” “Then kill me,” says Xivu Arath, “and use that killing logic, the power you prove by killing something as mighty as me.” So King Auryx took up his blade and beheaded Xivu Arath. “And strangle me,” says Savathûn, holding a blade behind her back. “Use that killing logic, the cunning you prove by killing something as smart as me.” But King Auryx turned with the speed and might of Xivu Arath, and beheaded Savathûn before she could move. King Auryx was the First Navigator, with the map of death. These were true deaths, for they happened in the sword world. Then he went to the Worm named Akka [/quote] Who knows, maybe our book is still being written. I extended on this theory more in another post: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/193327158[/url]
