While working to continue his studies, Asher regularly hiked through dangerous Taken infested territories into the Cradle to provide supplies for Eris Morn, who had camped at its center next to the [[Tree of Silver Wings (Io)|Tree of Silver Wings]]. During one of his visits, he listened as Eris described the messages she was receiving from the Darkness and how she experienced a secret thrill in tangling with and seeking to uncover the secrets of the Darkness. Asher reflected that he knew that thrill well from his encounters with the Vex and settled into the camp to spend time with his old friend. After some time he brought out a bottle of alcohol and two glasses as he prepared to leave and asked if Eris had everything taken care of, suspecting that his final death might soon be approaching. Eris, intent on the swirling vortex of Light beneath the Tree, stated that she did. Realizing that she did not understand his meaning, Asher rephrased his question, and told her that he needed to know if things would be taken care of. Understanding at last, Eris turned to him and after a brief consideration reassured him that she would take care of everything to the best of her ability. Satisfied with her answer, Asher began the long trek back to his own camp to continue his study of the Pyramids and the Vex.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Asher:_Prediction|Duress and Egress: Asher: Prediction]]''</ref> | While working to continue his studies, Asher regularly hiked through dangerous Taken infested territories into the Cradle to provide supplies for Eris Morn, who had camped at its center next to the [[Tree of Silver Wings (Io)|Tree of Silver Wings]].

Commander Zavala contacted Asher a few weeks later to order him back to the City, but he insisted that the data he was gathering was too important to abandon. When the Young Wolf returned to reiterate Zavala's wishes in person, he dismissed the message without a second thought. Instead, he tasked the Young Wolf with helping him to finish his data gathering, by investigating and collecting samples from unusual Taken activity, as well as by searching the Pyramidion for evidence that it is being scanned in order to confirm his theory that something was studying the Vex. When they returned, Asher looked over the data gathered, and concluded that the Darkness must be the entity studying the Vex, and that it would attempt to discern the secrets of the Vex. He declared that he would prepare to fight any agent of the Darkness seeking to claim the Pyramidion at the shores of the radiolarian lake where he lost his arm.<ref name="Exodus"/> | Commander Zavala contacted Asher a few weeks later to order him back to the City, but he insisted that the data he was gathering was too important to abandon, even if it cost him his life.

When the Young Wolf left Io for the last time, | When the Young Wolf left Io for the last time, Asher realized that he never truly expressed his high opinion of some of their work. He contemplated leaving a letter, but believed it would have been relegated to a backlog of tasks he would never be able to complete. Asher entered the Pyramidion, destroying any Vex security in his way. As he continued through the corridors of the Pyramidion, he found that it seemingly began to welcome him, with security laser grids bending to avoid touching him and gravitational anomalies leaving him unaffected by shifting ground under his feet, while the Vex simply observed. Asher found himself next to a pit under the radiolarian lake hidden in unusual geometry. He reached up with both his arms, and pulled the lake down to himself.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/6/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Arrivals]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Duress_and_Egress#Asher:_Conclusion|Duress and Egress: Asher: Conclusion]]''</ref> | ||
