Summary
Reed's wish had called for twenty skippers ready to butcher, which would not take her long, and then it was the work of moments to catch one extra for herself. That would sustain her for some time.
But she was quite hungry, not surprisingly, now that she had prey in her claws. It would be just as simple to catch one more to bring back, instead.

Summary
Lace is not certain that the concept of "medicine" could even apply to her, but if it can, she certainly does not deserve it.
Hornet would express an opinion to the contrary.

Summary
"Perhaps it was more hope that I could be of some assistance. You appear miserable."
"I appear…" Lace laughed, bitter but sincere: real shock drawing out a sound several notes lower than artifice. "Is that how I appear to you?"

Summary
"My, how terribly kind of you…" Lace tsked, but concluded, "I suppose I appreciate that you aren't throwing me out in the cold after all that fuss."
Hornet glanced back again. She answered, "I would not."
_Daughters of the divine, lives long twisted around the whims that birthed them, try to step free.

Summary
Named for the all-too-familiar. Named for that which was never truly known.
Named for grief, for suffering, for the long-lost and the inescapable.
What is the other beyond her seeming?

Summary
(The gods are no longer at strife.
The Void need spread no plague to usurp the kingdom.
The people stare with blank, empty eyes, without thought, without memory, as the dark swallows the world.)

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.)
