The Ending of Destiny’s Story

Hello everybody, I thought it would be an interesting discussion to present all the possibilities of what will be the conclusion of this long journey. With Lightfall being the last known (as of now) release for Destiny, I would like to speculate what we can expect to see and where we are heading. Firstly, let’s take a look at the significance of the original storyline of Destiny. There’s a giant white orb known as the Traveler which saved humanity from the Darkness during its darkest moments. We are sent out to be it’s protectors who are called Guardians. However, what if the story is much deeper than that? What if the stories you’ve heard of the Traveler aren’t true? Instead of the Traveler being our savior, it was the cause of the Collapse? Maybe the Traveler and the Darkness aren’t enemies but instead, working together? Perhaps there’s some significance to the absence of the Speaker. There’s many avenues the story can go down and I’m inclined to believe that the story is much deeper than what it may seem on face value. I’d love to hear your thoughts on what Lightfall could mean for the story of Destiny. Thanks for reading!

  • i never really saw the traveler and the pyramids as good and evil, more like just opposite forces. and with that i believe in a balance. i don’t think we’ll ever actually defeat the darkness and be rid of it completely, just stop it from overpowering the light. as far as an ending to destiny goes, i’ve had several thoughts on how it could go! one of my faves is that, in lightfall, the last battle will be us on the pyramid facing the darkness. maybe in its “true form” (if it has one) or something like that. then, in the final fight, our guardian will have to do something drastic to stop the darkness, and thus, sacrifice themself in order to save everyone else. there’s a touching, heartbreaking scene between guardian and ghost, since they both know in order to save everyone this time there will be no coming back. and then, they do it. they sacrifice themself. i see it as something like using their light to blow up the pyramids somehow, and so after the touching scene, it cuts to the battle below and we see all our fave characters look up to see the pyramids explode in a brilliant, bright light. everyone is looking up in awe, but then someone out of the crowd remembers: the guardian was the only one that went up there. they try to get a hold of the guardian on comms but... no answer. then it turns into that scene in the avengers when iron man dies lol... or something like that. after that i can see it going two ways. one, if it’s really the end, then we see the guardian’s funeral. or two, if it isn’t the end, i see the guardian escaping death by elsie pulling us back in time just before we die then bringing us back. heck, there could be a whole mission where we’re stuck in the past for a bit and we see some characters that were before our time. (example: andal brask or felwinter) but yeah i thought something like that would be hella cool to see! it would be sad tho if that was the end and our guardian died. i would cry!!
