    Summary

    The voices of the dead sing dissonant melodies to them here in the heart of the fortress. Malthael reaches out and draws them in, feeding their energy into the shattered stone taken into his chest. Shara braces themself with the shaft of their scythe and rises haltingly to their feet. The others follow suit behind them, but too slow, too slow.

    They are losing.

    Summary

    There are, apparently, multiple ways to be redeemed in the eyes of the Nora.

    She already knew of two.

    The first was, that you could serve your time in the wilds. Feel the loneliness of being forgotten.

    The second, of course, is that you can (if you’re still young) run in the proving. Fight to prove your worth to the tribe.

    And she now knew of a third.

     

    You could become a mother.

     

    OR

    I read “Mother Tongue” by knitbone and my brain would not let the implications of Aloy carting a baby around on her big world saving, life threatening adventure go.

    Summary

    From a tumblr writing prompt "You have one super power: The ability to know without fail what the truth is to any asked question. You planned to help the world as a super hero. It took you six hours for the government to declare you public enemy number one and the most deadly super villain alive."

    The Soothsayer just wanted to help.

    Summary

    Choose your own adventure would be more fun, because then you could cheat and read through all the outcomes before you make decisions. Real life doesn't work that way-- sometimes, you have to just decide, hit the gas, and go, and hope you find what you wanted.

    Set four to five months after the end of Familiar Ghosts.
