Her Hive forces, however, would still serve The Witness in combating the Guardians as they found a path to enter the Traveler's [[Pale Heart]]. As the Guardians worked in freeing the Traveler's Light from the Witness's grasp, Xivu Arath's sister, Savathûn would also lend her Lucent Brood in battling the Witness (albeit serving their own agenda), and ultimately found a way to destroy the Witness for good. After a tremendous struggle and great sacrifice, the Coalition succeeded in freeing the Traveler's Light and destroying the Witness forever. |

| After the Guardians [[Iconoclasm|found]] the weakness of the Witness, they would continue their efforts to heal the Traveler and locate any remaining lost Ghosts. One of these [[The Ascendant|missions]] involved finding and saving [[Akasha]], a Ghost that had been systemically scanning Awoken territory for years and whose last known location was the Dreaming City. After finding Akasha, Mara Sov, Micah and Crow would deduce from the movements across the Ley Lines, that, as Xivu Arath didn't join the Witness in its invasion of the Pale Heart, she was playing to turn the forces of the Black Fleet and the Coalition against each other to gain an advantage. Xivu Arath would continue to move the Hive forces from her brood through the Ascendant Plane en masse, while Mara was focused on holding back the Final Shape and couldn't keep an eye on her city's Ley Lines, cutting her losses from her previous master and gathering her strength for the war that would follow the [[War against the Witness]].<ref name="ascendant">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Ascendant]]''</ref>
| | Though the Coalition rejoiced in the Witness's fall, they nonetheless understood that the entity's death left a power vacuum that some of its former servants are seeking to fill and continue to enact the Final Shape. They also hadn't forgotten that Xivu Arath remained at large, for though she was mortal, the Hive God of War remained a threat that the Guardians would have to contend with in the future. |

| Another of these [[The Past|missions]] involved finding and saving [[Citrine]], a Ghost obsessed with Warmind hardware and whose last known location was Mars. Here, the Guardian would traverse the unpredictable, rifts that cursed the planet. Micah would detect Xivu Arath's Hive forces were sent back to the planet to investigate the time anomalies and the team would confront and kill [[Kelgorath, Risen from Bones]], manifested from when he was trying to conquer the location, to prevent Xivu Arath from retrieving any functional Warmind tech while Mara would dispatch her Techeuns to seal the rift even if temporarily.<ref name="past">'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[The Final Shape]] - [[The Past]]''</ref>

| *Similar to her sister, Xivu Arath has likely discerned her own path through the Sword Logic. She is described by one of her knights as a master of 'operontological warfare' whereby she can directly attack an enemy's very being through mere strategic prowess, essentially winning a battle before it is fought simply through insurmountable tactics. | | *Similar to her sister, Xivu Arath has likely discerned her own path through the Sword Logic.
