With Eris's guidance, informed by Mara Sov, the Guardian returned to the Throne World and would enter a fortified location, the [[Apothecary]] and locate a crystal. A piece of her prison during her time with the Awoken. Taking the crystal to the Altar of Reflection, the Guardian learns the full truth on how the Witch Queen gained control over the Light: she never stole it to begin with. After escaping the Reef, critically injured, Savathûn approached the Traveler on the outskirts of the Last City as a supplicant. From their, the Witch Queen actually died from her wounds but not long after, the Traveler allowed a Ghost to revive her as a Lightbearer, same as any Guardian. The memory ends and Savathûn herself enters, thanking the Guardians for helping her remember, proving that she never stole the Light as her memory showed. Forced to escape before the Witch Queen attacked, the Young Wolf would take this awful truth to the Vanguard. | With Eris's guidance, informed by Mara Sov, the Guardian returned to the Throne World and would enter a fortified location, the [[Apothecary]] and locate a crystal.

At an emergency meeting in Zavala's office, Ikora was present as the Guardian informed all present about the Traveler granted the Witch Queen the Light. Ikora and everyone else was silent but Zavala was left incredulous and refusing to believe that the Traveler would resurrect and grant one of humanity's most devious foes the Light. Eris Morn would mention the Traveler's past approach of uplifting civilizations then abandoning them as stated in the Books of Sorrow. Zavala would attempt to deny this as mere Hive propaganda but Eris would counter that the Fallen themselves tell a similar tale of the Great Machine visiting their world and then leave as the Whirlwind came and ravaged their civilization. Zavala, still unable to accept this, reminds all present that when the Collapse come to the Sol System, the Traveler sacrificed itself to save humanity, from forces that include the Hive. Even so, Zavala is left unable to grasp the Traveler's motives. Ikora, however, states that regardless of the Traveler's motives, whether it was having second thoughts about Guardians, doesn't matter. What matters is that she is present to protect humanity and if Savathûn succeeds in her plan, then the Guardians will be cut off from the Light and humanity won't be able to survive the Witness's return. All present agree, with Ikora taking the worm familiar with her to the Relic on Mars. Though she knows it's a long shot, she believes the worm may possess something that could help them defeat the Witch Queen. | |||
With Eris's guidance, Ikora uses the Relic to pierce into the worm's memory and see's a shocking revelation: the worm familiar was never the one whispering to her about a world ending event and leading her siblings to salvation. Those whispers were from the Witness itself as it was aware the Traveler was near and would soon uplift the Krill but seeking to claim them first, the Witness lied to Sathona about the "Syzygy", feeding her fear and pride. Thus would Sathona lead her siblings into the Deep and make the pact with the Worm Gods, creating the Hive. Ikora was left stunned that the Hive were tricked but found some irony in that the Hive God of Lies was lied to at the very beginning. With this knowledge, Ikora tasks the Guardian to head to the Witch Queen's domain, use the truth to destabilize her and undo her spell. However, as the Guardian journeyed to the Throne World, they discovered that the Traveler was already within, forcing the Guardian to race towards the ritual's center point. However, as the Guardian reached Savathûn's fortress, they were barred by a large force of Hive and a sealed gate. Ikora would lend aid directly, destroying an empowered Ogre and opening the way for the Young Wolf to confront the Witch Queen. | |||
After a grueling battle with the Light empowered Savathûn, the Guardian succeeded in revealing the truth to the Witch Queen, leading her to lose composure and control over her spell. With her spell broken, the Guardian succeed in laying the Witch Queen low, but she left them with a smug warning that the Witness is coming and now they have to contend with that before dying. Savathûn's ghost, [[Immaru]] was near, with the Guardian ready to execute him but as the Traveler returned to the Last City in a large flash of Light, Immaru managed to escape. Ikora nonetheless took it as a victory, authorizing a team to collect the Witch Queens' remains and agrees with the Young Wolf's assertion that humanity was now prepare themselves for the Witness's arrival and stop another Collapse. | |||
With Savathûn defeated yet still much work to do, Ikora receives word of Mara Sov requiring the Young Wolf's assistance. Though wary of having the Guardian work alongside someone as unpredictable as the Awoken Queen, she agreed, having them meet at the Enclave. Together, they managed to gain valuable intel regarding Savathûn's connection to the Witness and of her involvement in the Collapse from [[Savathûn's Worm]]. | |||
She would later present the Guardian with a Synaptic Spear, informing them of the tensions with Empress Caiatl over the initial engagement the Guardian had with the Red Legion on Mars. Fortunately, Zavala was able to set up a meeting with the Empress, get her to not only forgive the Guardian and agree to a formal alliance against the Lucent Brood. | |||
