Farzenith Stories

In a world where history is a script, she's the one pulling the thread. Zarah was supposed to be a Weaver-another silent daughter of the Nora destined for the looms of the Embrace. But when the fire came and the machines rose, she didn't just survive; she evolved. While Aloy hunts for the truth of the past to save the future, Zarah discovers a darker secret hidden beneath the golden stones of Meridian. She isn't just a hunter. She is a planned variable-a product of ancient "Original Tech" designed to be the ultimate guardian. But Zarah is done taking orders from ghosts. Armed with a bow that can delete reality and a hunger for a life without a script, Zarah heads into the Forbidden West. From the vertical cities of the Carja to the lethal coastlines of the Zeniths, she will rewrite the laws of physics and face down the gods who think they own the stars. Two Nora girls. One Savior. One Glitch. And a world that will never be the same.

"I have not met a Banuk before. Only heard tales, I did not think to see one here." It was a polite way of Kotallo saying that what he had heard, were fanciful tales of hermits in snow covered hills who did not wish to socialise with the wider world. Nureka smiled, "I left my home for a greater cause." She explained before pushing away from the table with a small sigh. "Here's to firsts, I have never met a Tenakth before either; yet here we are, Kotallo." Nureka smiled and took a step back, she inclined her head and he did the same right back at her. Having aided Aloy in the battle of Meridian, Nureka, a Banuk Shaman from Ban-Ur promised to lend her help to Aloy, whenever she'd need it. Resurrecting an AI, dealing with rogue rebelling Tenakth along with everything else in between seems like an immense undertaking. Let alone one Tenakth in question joining the ranks of Aloy's comrades and causing unknown feelings to stir within Nureka, as secretive as the Banuk can be, even she isn't fooling herself or anyone else, let alone Kotallo who is as quick as an arrow.
