"You're on a path. At the end of that path, there is a forest. Hiding in that forest, there is a Wanderer. You are here to kill her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world."
Hello everyone! I tried doing something cool that I will probably give up on soon. Oh well.

What is Kill the Wanderer?
KtW is a Slay the Princess canon divergence AU, where the Princess is no longer a princess, but she is now a Wanderer! There will be a bunch of new vessels for the Wanderer. The vessels are not based on the ones from the original games, but often ressembles them anyway.
It will be a poll game choose your own adventure story, like Once more and again, Slay the Heroine, Chapter 1 the Princess and the Dragon, as well as dear friends Slay the Lady and Fell the Monster!

Why is Kill the Wanderer?
Because I was bored.
Anyway, I'm just doing this for fun, nothing serious.
💚🌿🐦⬛🍀💐
How regular will the polls be?
Currently we are at one a day but I doubt I'll be able to keep up this rythm for very long, especially when we'll start getting more art. I am hoping to post at least one a week, there will be time where there are more and times where there will be less.
💚🌿🐦⬛🍀💐
How many runs will there be?
However many I can get out before getting bored of it. Hopefully at least 2, so we can meet most vessels.

Q&A
Please send me questions in my ask box if you have any! Some of my answers might be vague because I don't know or don't want to spoil something but you can ask anyway!
Q: What is the significance of changing the princess to a Wanderer? Will this affect Quiet?
A: The idea of Shifty being a Wanderer was actually comes from Slay the Static.
Quiet was changed from "Hero" to "Adventurer" so he would also have a traveling type role.
I choose to give them both similar roles and that the Wanderer wasn't locked up in a cabin but roaming in the woods to put them on equal footing from the start.
"They aren't the same, but they're both travelers and they both hold the same amount of power in this situation" was was idea.
Q: Do you have a favorite form?
Yes! There's one who's design I'm really proud of, and I can't wait for all of you to see her.
But, of course, I love all of them.
Post scriptum: This was referring to the Rotten.
Q: How easy/hard was this to make and work on?
Personally I didn't struggle much, I'd advise not planning to much because it might get boring and it'll take a long time but still have a good idea of what's happening and what's going to happen next. I also keep notes of every vessels, so that helps not getting lost :3
What work for me might not work for you but I hope it'll help!
Q: Would the characters run into animals or are these woods basically dead?
There are animals in the woods! They'll appear in some chapters
Q: To the vultures: what does Rotten taste like?
"They're not very clever. I can answer myself. At first, I tasted like a normal human being -at least, I assume so. It's a difficult to describe taste. But, as time went on and microbes and mushrooms invaded my body, it got bitter and disgusting. It's been a while since one of them tries to -they know better- but I imagine it has gotten even worse. Don't try it."
Q: What does "being a part of the Rotten" do to the animals, other than the telepathic connection?
They can only be killed by getting their brain or their heart destroyed. Otherwise, they're normal.
Q: Do any of the vessels ressemble celestial beings?
If by "celestial" you mean "heavenly" or "angel like", yes.
If you meant "space themed", kinda? It's more of the Long Quiet's thing tho.

You can send art request to my ask box and I might draw them!!
I tried doing my best lol :× They don't look great... I'm not sure if the character fit them very well but I don't know who'd be better, I might need to reread the book.

Mhhh... What would you guys think, if I gave you more freedom, for this final loop? Maybe instead of making the decisions through a poll, you could send an ask to make a decision. Maybe you could send asks to decide what to do then do a poll with those. Maybe the answers you proposed could be alongside my own.
Give me your thoughts, please.
(I don't think that this would mean I create more vessels, unless I really want to. I already have plenty.)
Voice of the Adventurer: "What happened? Where are we?"
Voice of the Fool: "He was right! I knew it! Agreeing to her terms and giving up on killing her was going to end the world! You should've listened to me!"
Voice of the Adventurer: "I don't think the world is over... is it?"
[Approach the mirror.]
Voice of the Adventurer: "Do you really want to? Something about it feels off..."
Voice of the Fool: "This mirror is weird, and I don't trust random mirrors in empty voids!"
Voice of the Adventurer: "For once, I agree with you."
Voice of the Fool: "You should try to do that more often, then we wouldn't be stuck here!"
Voice of the Adventurer: "I don't think that's right."

Of course you're scared. It's the end for you. But not for me.
Don't worry, it's going to be okay.
We've been here before and you were already scared. Do you remember?
