Forbiddenwest Stories

A woman found frozen by Aloy in the many months she spent exploring the Embrace between Rost's lessons... A butterfly effect has been activated in the form of a hurricane. Change blows over the Sacred Lands and East alike, soon to spread over the entirety of the planet.

Aloy undertakes a new adventure after the events of Horizon Forbidden West and the DLC Burning Shores. Join Aloy as she navigates personal relationships, saving the world, and unearthing a secret that will change the world. **This is my proposed story for what should happen in the final game of the Horizon Trilogy.

Rivah is a Carja noblewoman who craved the hunt of machine fighting. Opposed by her tribe, she leaves Meridian for the Banuk lands and meets Aloy who shows her there is another way. Rivah disobeys her tribe, ignoring the constant bothersome guards who attempt to bring her back to the Sundom.. until cousin Sun-King Avad appoints her with a task that takes her to the Forbidden West. There, she meets a fierce Tenakth Marshal who catches her eye. Though the two don't see eye to eye most times. Join Rivah as she journeys to the Forbidden West to complete her task to earn her freedom within her tribe. Machines, Tenakth, rebels, and love all stand in her way as she attempts her journey through the Forbidden West! [Kotallo x OC]

"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.

While Aloy is training for the proving we go to the forbidden west where the Tenak are getting a little curious about a new building they found.

Aloy, with the help of a benevolent backup of HEPHAESTUS, gets an advantage like nothing the world has ever seen before. (Grypuy is the beta reader/co-author for this fanfiction)
