Summary
She blinks away the spotting in her vision, looking around at the horrid predicament she’s found herself in. Surrounding her are tangles of roots, composed from the same matter as Greyroot. But these have no life pulsing through them. The bark is dry, brittle entirely. She uses this weakness to her advantage, throwing her weight around as much as she is able until the wood breaks, sending her careening to the ground. Her movement seems to startle whatever was shoved into her as its movements quicken and her pain increases. She spends many moments curled around herself on the ground, choking back expletives and sobs. The creature pushes out against her shell, she can feel its tendrils wrapped around her organs, squeezing them, destroying them. She gags. Nothing comes out.
Or: Hornet has gotten herself cursed and must find a way to survive it, cure it, and live in the aftermath.

Summary
Hornet woke in the Black Egg Temple to the sight of her sibling's fractured mask. For the walk from the temple's central chamber to its exit, she thought herself truly alone in the world once more.
When Hollow followed her out, she realized that wasn't so. But now she has to try and take care of her older sibling as they recuperate and learn to live in a world where they do not have to be pure, figure out what to do about what Little Ghost left of a body, and try to piece together two kingdoms which fell long ago.
Life keeps throwing her surprises, too, which does not help.
(Post-Dream No More ending, though it's fudged and mixed with the Godseeker endings some. Characters and tags will be updated as more chapters are posted.)
