Tenakth Stories

Far in the Piercing north among the Mourning peaks, north of the Banuk and Nora, lives a tribe by the name of Volnar. The snow lays thick up to the waist all year round in the most northern parts, yet machines still find ways to poison the land. In the ELEUTHIA-8 facility located in those mountains the Volnar find a young girl with hair like fire and freckles like the stars they worship. Chosen by the Elders, but scarred by destiny, she find herself travelling the world after her life crumbled. But when her and Aloy's fate bring them together, the striking similarity between them is not their elusive tribes, but their identical appearance. With a mystery unraveling that even GAIA has limited knowledge of, they find themselves in the forbidden west among the Tenakth and the threat from the skies. A key is found, and a fate remains uncertain. A certain Marshal and a peculiar clone find that despite their differences, maybe something more might bloom. -- TW!! Graphic descriptions of violence. Self harm. Suicidal ideation. (eventual) smut..?

»From what I see, the Bear Squad has gained a new cub!« When Tekotteh announced the official outcome of the current initiation fight, no one at the pit would have thought it would be Nhevv---the young woman known for sneaking out of the Bulwark at night, as well as for her pranks, sharp tongue and strong-willed nature. Even greater was the surprise when Tekotteh announced her further Guardian: Kotallo. And so Kotallo, who was always only responsible for himself, suddenly has to come to terms with the fact that he still has much to learn and that nothing happens without a reason. ______ I own the rights to my OCs only.

What if the ELEUTHIA-9 Cradle facility that birth Aloy had accidentally created another Nora outcast? What if the two grew up as sisters, chasing the Eclipse into the Sundom together and defeating HADES. This is the story of Orea, twin sister to Aloy and fellow seeker, as they journey from Meridian to the Forbidden West and beyond; encountering secrets of the past, new friends and enemies, and an unexpected romance with a certain Tenakth Marshall?

Nemesis' extinction signal missed its intended target. HADES slept on. GAIA Prime never fell. ELEUTHIA-9 stayed sealed. But MINERVA received the signal, and from that moment on, every signal sounded like a threat-even GAIA's. It locked her out of the system she was meant to hold together, and answered the only way it knew how: containment and severance. Years later, the Grove remains unconquered, held by a Spire and its guardian machine; a vast thing no clan has ever managed to bring down. With more Spires waking across the Clan Lands and the machines taking ground with every season, Kotallo is sent to Cliffwatch as Tekotteh's First Spear, ordered to hold the line before another Sky Clan settlement is lost. Among the dead and the ruins, he finds Nhevv: a young woman no one in Cliffwatch knows, carrying a broken Focus, listening to a voice no one else can hear, and hiding a secret that may shape the fate of the entire Clan Lands. So Kotallo is forced to decide whether she is mad, dangerous or right.

"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.

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]
