To Bind Our Echoes That We May Be Whole
The apocalypse has come and gone, and against all odds, Pharloom remains standing. The time has come for Hornet to return to Hallownest, accompanied by friends and allies: Shakra hopes to explore the mythical land beyond the wastes, and properly lay to rest a member of her own tribe; Lace fears unraveling without the aid of a Weaver, while contending with the immensity of a future free of her mother's threads; and the Green Prince lives only only to spite the Citadel, passively seeking a more honorable end than might be found in the rubble of his homeland. Meanwhile, Hornet returns from Pharloom with magic and knowledge that might aid in the slow recovery of Hallownest and Deepnest--and perhaps offer the chance to call home the sibling she once thought lost to her forever.
Chapter 3: Less Like a Promise, More Like a Vow
[<<Prev] [Chapter 3] [Next>>]
Hornet is greeted by familiar sights and familiar faces. She's been gone a while, but her involuntary sojourn to Pharloom wasn't nearly the length of time that Ghost has been missing. Things have changed in their absence, but there are still people waiting for them to come home.
(Afterwards, Lace asks Hornet what that was all about and she's just like, don't worry about it.)
I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter--very little happens in it, but it covers a lot of ground, establishing the timeline and at least two of the major plot threads moving forward. It was also fun to age up Cornifer and Iselda. Anyways, thank you for reading! Your enthusiasm keeps me going on this project!
