    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."
