Utaru 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..? Toothrotting fluff Lowkey enemies to friends to lovers I have during one point of this fanfic taken slight inspiration from the wonderful Author: @SkeletonEnjoyer1 and their amazing fanfic called The Other Huntress (Kotallo/OC) Make sure to check their work out, It's truly awesome!

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?

"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.
