9 Month After "horizon zero dawn"
"So the machines help our world?" One of the little kids in the crowd of crisscrossed children asked. I stood on stage as i told them about my previous journey. "Yep. But not the ancient machines! They are the opposite." I looked up in the sky. The sun was setting, making the sky an amazing pinkish color. "It's getting late, i have to leave now." I told the kids. "But aloy," one of them said. One of the villagers walked up to them. "It's almost your bedtime, too." "Oh, okay.." a boy said. "Bye aloy!" A little girl said, then they all ran away.
I stepped of the stage, and laughed to myself. "Aloy!" Lovell, one of the tribe members, said. He ran up to me, then stopped to catch his breath. "Will you," He took a deep breath. "Will you come back?" "Huh, duh!" I smiled. "I'll come back when I run out of food." I joked. He smiled. "Well, where are you heading too?" He asked. "Meridian." "Meridian?" He said, surprise. "That's so far away! And to walk by foot? It'll take you days!" He said. "Oh trust me, I'm not gonna walk on foot!" I whistled, and my overridden charger ran towards me. "Oh, right." He said. I jumped onto the chargers back. "Well, see ya soon." He said. I nodded while smiled, then me and my steed ran away.
After awhile of riding, my steed slowed down in a new Forest. How about we go hunting? I asked myself. I hoped of the steed and started walking. I saw a blue light ahead, and quickly dived into tall grass. Two watchers protecting a ravager. I crawled to a bush of grass, farther away. They didn't hear me, so it was easy to creep away.
I loaded my arrow, and turned on my focus. I looked around for a highlighted animal. I was quite surprised when I didn't see any animals. Only dead machines. I kept walking, but I didn't find any animals. I stepped over a dead fox near a tall tree.
I quickly saw bright light in the distance, but it wasn't a machine. "What.. what is that?" I whispered to myself. it was right on the end of a mountain. I ran towards it, then stopped in surprise. Right behind the blue light, which was a watcher lens's-lock, stood a cauldron door. "Wait.. I thought I found all the cauldrons.." I asked myself. I thought for a minute.. no one ever mentioned this cauldron.
Wait a minute..
I stared at the door, trying to see it in the dark. I pressed my hand against the door.
I knew it.
The door was broken open.
