The Witch Queen's efforts to subvert the Pyramids would not go unanswered. The Hive broods that had previously sworn to Savathûn would brand her a heretic for having conspired against the Darkness with the exiled [[Nokris]] and defected from her ranks as the Black Fleet invaded Sol, sending the former into hiding. Due to this, her own court was left in the dark about her whereabouts.  
The Witch Queen's efforts to subvert the Witness would not go unanswered, forcing her into hiding from its wrath.

Her absence did not impede her Taken forces, however, as they swarmed upon a new piece of the Traveler in the [[EDZ]], which was calling out to [[the Guardian]] and the [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] through the form of a paracausal hawk. The Witch Queen shrouded the shard in her interference much like the Tree of Silver Wings on Io, and apparently watched the fight that ensued. Observing Crow and the Guardian celebrate their victory at a bonfire, she was hit with a sudden wave of nostalgia, remembering her father, sisters, and their shared past on Fundament.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Hawkmoon]]''</ref>
