Summary
A single frame frozen in time. It was the moment Cayde had summoned Sundance. He could see her faint outline, half-warped away already, the projectile tearing through the space she had occupied not even a millisecond before.
"In every other timeline, you and your Ghost die." Queen Mara said. "Out of millions of realities, they all end the same. Except this one. Doesn't it make you curious, Cayde-6? Doesn't it make you wonder why?"
"The Traveler wanted me to live." He didn't believe the words, but maybe she'd buy them.
"Even you don't think you're that special." She scoffed. It had been worth a shot. "I have seen into your futures, Cayde-6. Every path, every choice leads you right back to my brother and this very moment at The Prison of Elders. Your fates are bound together, like two black holes caught in each other’s pull. The gravity between you is inevitable—drawing closer, tighter—until one finally consumes the other."
"I assume you mean Uldren killing me."
"Yes. Your Final Death was always his to take. It's his legacy."
"But not this time." He clarified as he pointed at the frozen scene in front of them. "Which means something changed. Something...Or someone wanted me here."

Summary
“You’re not busy Cayde, so stop pretending to look through the weapon caches. I’m here to talk to you about my pa—”
“Yes! I know!” He threw up his arms helplessly. “Your past, your past…that’s all you ever want to talk about. Look, kid…You got something special. You got something people almost never get.”
“And what’s that?”
“A second chance.” Finally at this Crow dropped his folded arms, his body language shifting. “You’re wastin’ it by trying to figure out what you did with the first one.”
“Would you at least explain why…You won’t tell me?”
Cayde looked deep in thought about this, as if carefully considering his words before he spoke again. “You have to make your own fate, Crow. Walk your own path. Nothin’ in your past is gonna help you do that.”
“You were in my past. You helped me.”
“Yes, and I’m helping you now. In the present. Where it matters.” Cayde sighed and walked up to Crow, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Please let it go. Trust me on this.”
