So are the Guardians really a tool of the darkness but unaware of it and are being deceived by the traveler and speaker into destroying any threats that may hold up the darkness or be able to stop it!? Example Atheon stole away to command a legion of vex against the corrupted vex in a place and time the darkness couldn't reach until he found a way to defeat it, the darkness (the traveler) through our ghost sends us to take care of it. And the fallen understand in some sense what's going on and have abandoned there duties as guardians and moved to the reef as to hide from the traveler and the Queen, crow and mysterious guardian we get the strangers rifle from are all in cahoots and trying to stear us in the right direction or is this just all crazy talk!?
