The sisters accepted the pact. Xi Ro took the knight morph and became Xivu Arath; Sathona took the mother morph and became Savathûn; and Aurash took the king morph, transforming into a male and becoming Auryx, the king of the Hive. Over the following years, the siblings returned to their people and spread the Worms among them, creating the first Hive and enabling them to first liberate the Osmium Court, then drive Taox and the other fearful species of Fundament to Kaharn Atoll, and finally to build spaceships and break free of Fundament entirely.<ref name="Shadows"/> | The sisters accepted the pact.

===Campaign of Destruction=== | |||
As Auryx and his sisters forced an ultimatum on the remaining proto-Hive to accept the worms or perish, Auryx turned his attention to Fundament's moons, and the [[Ammonites]] there who had allied with the [[Traveler]] and gave asylumn to Taox. Initially he was willing to negotiate with the Ammonites, but his sister Savathun, under pressure from the worms, killed Auryx as punishment. Rebiked, Auryx purged what sympathy and goodwill he had left, becoming a merciless tyrant. During the Hive's campaign against the [[Harmony]] and the [[Vex]], [[Quria, Blade Transform]] presented Oryx with a simulation of his former self, Aurash. Oryx looked upon the simulation with amusement, while Aurash looked upon Oryx in horror, demanding to know what he had done to her sisters and her people. In the end, Oryx slew Quria, and presented the Vex corpse and its simulation to Savathun. When she asked him what proof they had that what they were doing was right, Oryx simply replied that the Hive's existence was proof enough in their convictions to live eternal by the Sword-Logic. | |||
