Roaming around a dark, low-key disgusting area of the Ascendant realm in search of Hiraks, you avoid whatever the hell it is Hive usually leave behind; you didn't wanna touch any of it. Considering he was pretty much mute, not hearing his voice anywhere made it hard to figure out where he could possibly be. No hints, even... How fun.

"This guy's file says he's obsessed with creating his own throne world, like Crota and Oryx had," your Ghost chimes from you backpack, or wherever you have em' at. "The Mindbender thinks he can create it by killing powerful beings. But that should only work for the Hive..."

He's always been a bit weird. Bending the minds of Hive? Pulling an Eris Morn and surviving in the Hellmouth for years? Well, that was likely the cause of his insanity and shit, but not the point cause that's him! ... Wait what-

There stands Hiraks, motioning for his Mindbent Hive to charge right at you. Of course, though, he got ready to flee through a portal the moment you cleared the said Hive all out within mere moments.

Do you attempt to stop him, or just follow him through the portal to see where it leads?
