Summary
Her brilliant plan was as follows:
1. Hide right up against the wall next to the door out of the Abyss so the Pale Bellend didn’t see her immediately.
2. When he walked through the door, waste no time in hitting him in the back of the head, or the back of whatever she could reach with her club to stun him and give her more time to enact step 3.
3. Run like hell, and pray that getting unexpectedly whacked in the back of the head stunned him long enough for her to make a clean getaway, since he would presumably be coming down here alone.
4. Make good use of her intangibility to escape and haul ass to the Resting Grounds as fast as possible, putting all her ninja skills to good use in avoiding detection from basically everyone, since she could trust basically no one to not rat her out if the king put a bounty on her head or some shit like that.
She operated under the KISS method of planning. It was an acronym that stood for ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid.’
But then again, no plan survived contact with the enemy.
This was going to suck, wasn't it?

Summary
Instead of my old, pale, acne-ridden, bespectacled visage, a pristine, bone-white Vessel head stares back, with a pair of dorsal fin-shaped horns situated on each side of the head, the tips flaring up and out like wings. If they could, my eyes would’ve widened as I recognized the face and realized my situation.
I’ve just been reincarnated as the Greenpath Vessel, or Mothwing Vessel after the very cloak that the Knight picks up off of my future corpse.
“[Unamused realization] Ahh…fuck. (Already-done-with-this, this-is-gonna-suck)”
“[Query] What’s a ‘fuck’? (curious)”

Summary
Like the branches of a tree, timelines break off and grow out towards the sky. From the second outcropping of the main story, another tiny branch divides from the whole.
In it is a sadder ending, a shorter ending. Loss, mourning, and the briefest glimpse of hope.

Summary
While Wasp brings chaos to the denizens of Hallownest, and Ghost takes up the role of the Chosen Vessel, one soul was removed from the story. One being, excised to make room for Wasp's presence. This is their story.
