Summary
“In the wilds beyond they speak your name with reverence and regret,
For none could tame our savage souls yet you the challenge met,
Under palest watch, you taught, we changed, base instincts were redeemed,
A world you gave to bug and beast as they had never dreamed.” —From Elegy for Hallownest by Monomon the Teacher.Ghost was tired. Tired from running away from that wretched place. The place where their siblings were tossed into the Abyss for not being ‘pure’.
The truth is, not a single one of them were ‘pure’, as they all had minds and wills.
But the Pale King wanted a vessel that had ‘No voice to cry suffering’.
And so, Ghost left Hallownest after falling. Their twin, a vessel with horns that ended at a point, had watched as they struggled to keep their grip on the cold metal of the overhang.
Ghost supposed that if their twin had helped them up, they would’ve been killed by the bug that they both called father.
Outside of Hallownest, Ghost sat on a bench, pulled out a ragged quill and beat-up journal, and began to write.
