The Wandering Inn
|
(Andrea Parsneau, MouthyMaven, will be live-recording Book 3 of The Wandering Inn on her Discord server! Be sure to join the server if you’d like to listen!) |
Liscor
|
In the city of Liscor, there was life where there had been so much death. Still, the mourning continued. Not just for one person; lives had been lost. |
Hectval
|
War between the Hectval Alliance and the city of Liscor had claimed lives. The city was both silent and noisy, and too much of each. |

Xevccha
|
Vast, powerful, a mind reaching out through dirt and space to touch it. And the other Antinium. They froze as the Free Queen of the Antinium touched them, briefly. |
[Cook]
|
‘Hug the [Cook]’. |
Erin Solstice
|
“Who is Erin Solstice?” |
Erin Solstice
|
It was a question. The New Antinium stirred; they had no answer. There was no ‘Erin Solstice’ in anything they had been taught. They saw the other Antinium stir; some knew the answer. But they also understood it was a rhetorical question, something else the New Antinium would have to learn. |
Erin Solstice
|
“Who is Erin? Not who was Erin. New Antinium, in the days to come, you will hear her name often. To those of you who attend this sermon for the first time, who have lived in the Hive but never had the chance to meet her…the same.” |

“What you will find are things Erin did. Things she helped make. Me. The idea of Painted Antinium. It was not just her. But she was there at the start. We have become far more. But she was there. You must know who she is—who she was—to understand what we are. And then, you must know that she is gone.” |
Pawn
|
Something terrible had happened. The Worker leaned on the podium. His name was Pawn. He was a [Priest]. |

Pawn

Some…with fear. For he was Pawn. First of the Individuals. Leader of the Painted Antinium—if not in military might like Yellow Splatters, then in charge of their souls and great cause. Yet they looked at him with fear when they had not just a week ago. |

[Doomspeaker Priest]
|
[Doomspeaker Priest]. And by his will and hatred, he could conjure that which terrified Antinium. |
[Summon Aberration]
|
[Summon Aberration]. The Skill felt dark and twisted in his mind even as he thought it. He had become wrath. Pawn spoke on, seeing the Painted Antinium looking at him. |

Erin Solstice
|
“Erin Solstice is lost. And she was a good thing. Not just good. The best that has ever happened to the Antinium. Because of her, you will become Painted Antinium. You will have names. A purpose beyond what we were. Because of Erin, you will see the sky and taste food and, perhaps, live far longer than any before you.” |

And yet there it was. Where once he had delivered the sermon with only one emotion, there was now nuance. Erin Solstice was… |
[Priest]
|
The Painted Antinium were silent. The [Priest] went on, slowly, painfully. |
Erin Solstice
|
“Yet Erin was lost. Is lost. She is…she was hurt. By terrible fools. She will be avenged. But she is lost and that is…” |
Erin Solstice
|
Three days. It had been three days since the Summer Solstice. Longer since Erin had been frozen. Too long. Already—Pawn felt the beginnings of madness once more. |
