The bargain struck with the Spirit of Riven nears completion. The Guardian ventures into the heart of the Confluence to retrieve the last of the Ahamkara eggs.
**
Mara Sov: One final egg remains. One hidden within my own court by Taranis... in a secluded chamber of starlight and potential.
Osiris: The Confluence has aligned, and our goal is in sight. To know all our efforts are coming to fruition is… exhilarating.
Osiris: Is that a smile I hear in your voice, Osiris? You're lucky the Guardian is of few words, lest they ruin your stoic reputation in the Tower.
Osiris: I cannot help but feel alive in this moment. .. though there is still much to do. It seems possible now.
//The Guardian touches down in Riven’s Lair.
Riven: Of course. My final child is held captive in the queen's private Wing. How ironic. How… appropriate. Just think, if we had continued working together - with respect, with trust, as equals - we could have built so much more than this city. We could have been friends.
//The Guardian enters the Fetid Conduit.
Osiris: Do you feel it, Mara? We stand before the end. All that remains is to know whether we are swept away by it, or it breaks against us.
Mara Sov: And to see what consequences our wish has wrought. That is where my mind rests… let hope stay my fears.
Osiris: Hope, yes. But also our mettle, our actions. I am confident in our heading, come what may.
Mara Sov: In Crow, in us… As am I.
//The Guardian fights through the Scorn and Vex forces.
Mara Sov: We've spent so long holding together the pieces, Osiris. Do you worry what will come after all of this?
Osiris: No. I welcome it. I'm tired, Mara. I'm ready for what comes next. It's all right to admit you are too.
//The Guardian enters the Astral Cloister.
Osiris: Scorn have found their way into your domain. How?
Mara Sov: This place is woven into the Confluence. To expose it for us, was to expose it to the enemies already within our walls. And the Scorn have long been within these walls…
Osiris: Then we will remove them.
//The Guardian lures out Mephitic Hosts by defeating Scorn.
Osiris: Scorn reinforcements descend upon you. Prepare yourself for battle.
//The Guardian defeats Plaguewielders by using the Ephemeral Virus.
Mara Sov: Most of these Scorn are mindless husks, raised by the Witness, but others… they bear Fikrul’s touch.
Osiris: Has he resurfaced? Crow believes he fled the Shore and remains a fugitive.
Mara Sov: Petra reported activity from Fikrul’s Knights on Earth. They sought recruits, along with a dead Ahamkara’s power.
Osiris: Knights? Strategy? Their culture deepens. Fikrul means to make a wish, then. For the Witness?
Mara Sov: I think not. Their motivations are both against us, but not aligned. Something else is at play.
//The Guardian enters the Caliginous Expanse.
Mara Sov: They're attempting to force a wish from the embryo. This must not come to pass. A whim, like a venomous hatchling, knows nothing of restraint!
Osiris: Fireteam. Engage the enemy!
//The Guardian engages Elikaa, the Pale Rot.
Mara Sov: Now shatter their totems. End this fool's errand.
//The Guardian defeats Elikaa, the Pale Rot.
Osiris: Could that have worked? Could the Scorn have brought a wish to fruition like that?
Mara Sov: No. At least… I do not believe it is possible, though I wasn't willing to see them try.
Osiris: This egg is not the first to find itself in your court. Did you intend to breed the Ahamkara again?
Mara Sov: I… intended to maintain a suitable suite of options from which to choose. Nothing more. Those plans were made so long ago, Osiris, and the eggs corrupted beyond healing. Things are different now. Whether the Ahamkara live on is not mine to choose.
Osiris: To relinquish control is almost as frightening as trust, or hope. Sometimes, that is all we have.
Riven: And in that trust… our pact concludes. I will make your wish.
