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!

    That theory has loooong since been debunked, very thoroughly as well Destiny's story is trying to tell us that neither side is inherently good or evil, and that both extremes are horrible. But even if by some miracle the whole "the traveler and the darkness are working together, just like in the original story" nobody would like that, since it goes against everything we've been taught and just screws up the genuinely nuanced take that Destiny has on "good and evil" At the end of the day, I point you to Drifters dialogue in the prophecy dungeon where he's transported to two different realities where Light or Darkness wins Now compare that to the reveal "they're working together all along". I don't know about you, but the former is waaaaaay more interesting and has a lot to say
