"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.
๐๐ฟ๐ฆโโฌ๐๐
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.

You can send art request to my ask box and I might draw them!!
the smitten and the damsel make me so sad. neither of them wanted this. the smitten was obsessed with her, he wanted her for himself. he opened his ribcage and showed his heart to make her believe it wasnt malice but pure love. she believed. what else could she do? you cannot dispute a heart that beats for you. she stayed because she didnt know what she wanted yet, she eas so inexperienced, and she believed he would be enough. as years passed and passion became ordinary, she found what she wanted. the palace was too small a world for a woman. the more she wanted, the more he panicked. he grasped her the tightest he could not to let her go. what if she realizes she can do better than him? what if he isnt enough? have all the food. isnt it enough? have your games, have fun! isnt it enough? will it ever be enough? please dont get up, dont leave me.
and she really didnt. she wanted to believe it could be enough. she didnt want to leave because she loved him once and there was nothing wrong. it was a comfortable life. he was nice to her. but it wasnt right. it wasnt big enough.
he didnt want to hear it, so he tried to dismiss the subject at any chance. unwillingly scared her into submission. did he ever realize the monster he had become? he did once she voiced that she wanted something for the first time. he never wanted to hurt her. he never wanted to deny her. but he couldnt provide that for her. he could only exist in shadows and there were no shadows outside. so he left and set her free.
among them all, this has to be the realest story. it is so present in many long term relationships. men that become something they never wanted to out of fear and women that stay silent so as not to break the balance, damning themselves to golden cages where death seems like a mercy. but once they were young and so in love and could never think all this would ever happen, they would just live happily ever after
taking a small break from artfight bc burnout suckssssssss,,,, instead i made some rough concepts for a species swap (/full swap??) TLQ :3o i'll probably refine this design and made one for shifty after artfight's over hehehe
