" I hope you took the opportunity to attend in on those you handle about . If not ? That ’s alright . Only some of them can die constantly . “- Lord Shaxx
Destiny 2 : The Final Shape is only five days away , and the plug is ramping up . Fan discussions are run wild , with mass sharing their promise and aspiration , edits , and memes . And whilst browsing through these various devotee congregating ground , I happened upon a office that unlock a computer storage long forgotten , and gave me a sentiment that I ’ve nary been capable to rock since …
We Are Going To Die
That ’s right-hand Guardians , your time is up . apologia for the attention grab coping away , there is plenty of cause to believe that The Final Shape will truly be the end of all of our Guardians . And it all start right smart back in December of 2019 , with the Season of Dawn . So , let ’s do a quick recapitulation of that time of year to mark this all up .
The Season of Dawn began with Osiris reach out to you to request assist in defend a conception of his , The Sundial , as some Cabal Scions were undertake to take control of it to exchange the outcome of The Red War in their favour . The Sundial ( which to awfully oversimplify it is effectively a fancy time machine ) had become corrupted by the Psion ’s in their attempts to harness it , and in doing so accidentally gave you the chance to go back through prison term and save the legendary Titan , Saint-14 .
I wo n’t go into too much item on how that was managed , as it ’s all very timey - wimey and confusing ( it was alsofour years ago ) , but basically , you fit back to cardinal moments in the life of Saint-14 to wait on him through them , and in doing so become his rootage of inspiration . You gave him the scattergun you collected from his own entombment site , ' Perfect Paradox ' ( not just a apt name ) which then in turn reserve you to economise him from the Infinite Forest far into the future .
What affair here is Saint-14 himself . Towards the end of the Season of Dawn , after successfully rescuing Saint-14 and putting everything back the way it should be ( for the most part ) , Osiris gain out to you yet again to tempt you to explore ' The Corridors of Time ' , a maze like pocket realm that can be get at through the Sundial . And so , Guardians explored , and it lead to a period of unbelievable community collaboration as everyone ring together in an endeavour to navigate the inner ear before them . And after only six day , the final route was uncovered and the end of the maze was found . And much to everyone ’s surprisal , what lay at the end was n’t some newfangled big forged guy , it was a grave . Yourgrave .
Quiet as the Grave
Approaching the grave accent and ' pay respects ' led to my single favourite mo in Destiny history , as you got to listen to Saint-14 give his eulogy at your sepulture . His speech would even change bet on what you had or had n’t completed , and as a Destiny 1 veteran who had see and done it all up to that point , I got the whole shebang , which felt incredibly rewarding .
" give thanks you for coming . We ’ve gather here today to celebrate the living of my wise man . My intake . They called them Crota ’s End . The Hivebane . Kingslayer . The Young Wolf . Hero of the Red War . "
The speech persist in , as he listed the various accolades you had collected throughout your many , many battles . Where it gets interesting though , is when he commence express justhowit was you conk on the dot .

" And they died doing what they do well . defend the Last City of humans . "
' represent the Last City ' sounds an awful mess like exactly what we ’re doing aright this very moment . Now yes , of course we ’ve always been defend the Last City , but typically we ’ve done so by going on the offensive . But now with the introduction of the Into The Light update in April , we ’re very much on the backfoot . The armies of the Darkness are at our doorstep , and we ’ve been doing our very best to keep them back . It ’s not even aboutwinningany more , as we know we ca n’t hold the line always ; it ’s just about buy Queen Mara Sov and Osiris enough clip to open up musical passage to the Traveler .
To make thing even more morose , complete a weapon pursuance in Into The Light gives you an extra objective upon completion . It ’s not going out to make massacre with whatever raw toy you ’ve earned ; it ’s not taking it to some magic smithy on Mars to make it salutary , no . Each extra target has you finding one of your ally , and allege auf wiedersehen .

Cogito, Ergo Sum
So with all that misery behind us , get ’s go back to that grave of ours . In that same pean , Saint-14 say the following .
" I ’ve mark this grave accent with one of their favorite weapons , shattered in that concluding confrontation . It used to be mine . "
close inspection of the grave revealed that mark to be a sword , one we have yet to see as an getable weapon in 10 age of Destiny chronicle . And now , thanks to an ( inadvertent ) leak fromMoreConsole , we recognise that in The Final Shape there will be a brand new exotic brand , and that it will be called ' Ergo Sum ' . Bungie have been reasonably coming with Exotics so far , such as the young sniper ' Still Hunt ' and the glorious reappearance of the first weapon any of us ever received with the now exotic Khvostov , but not this one . And to make matters even more interesting , it ’s being activelycensored . The original reference of the making water which has since been spread all over social media has now been edited to only pixelate the icon , name , and any extra information we might ’ve been able to reap . However , thanks to quick represent from reddit useru / Dark_Infernox , we have a ready to hand seizure .

The similarity between the two are strike to say the least , in addition the name : ' Ergo Sum ' ( ' I am ' ) . ' I ' as in the first individual singular pronoun ; ' am ' as in … subsist .
And then , as if that was n’t all good enough , whilst collect textile for this very article ( specifically that very bighearted shot of Saint-14 ) , I noticed something out of the nook of my center . Right next to Saint-14 is a collecting of arm , include a pedestal holding vane … and would n’t you acknowledge it , they have an terribly familiar shape .
So , we have our own grave marked with a mysterious sword , meet phrases direct from our own paean , and the knowledge of a young exotic steel coming our way that is being actively censored wherever potential . With all that in psyche , I think it ’s safe to say … We aretoast . But , to go back to that eulogy one final time …

" All who receive what we ’ve leave here - please leave it be . Unless … Unless you ’re still out there somewhere . You ’ve performed miracles before . In which case , take it . And come back to us . And we ’ll kill what shoot down you . Or give way trying . "
