The original story was that your guardian was to be abducted by the Crow (renamed as the queens brother) Then you and the crow travel doing missions on Venus, Mars,Saturn, Mercury and the Moon. Along the course of those missions they found out that the Speaker and the Traveler were actually the Darkness and the Hive were performing a ritual to resurrect the Traveler so he can once again wreak havoc. Concept art of the "Black Garden" was originally kind of spherical like the inside of the Traveler and the last mission of the old storyline was to venture inside the heart of the Traveler and kill it. This was originally a post in Reddit that got taken down forcibly, but screencaps had been taken and it is too late to bury it. Now why did someone get upset enough with this post to have it taken down? The only answer I can think of is because it's all true. I think that would have actually been a good story.
