I've always asked what there was to live for after I died. My answer was to exist, to try to reach the unfathomable glory of the god whose dark, dripping smile loomed over us. Every waking moment in a life with no rest was filled with prayer- a prayer for something to make me human again.

And then you gave her to me.

You gave her to us.

And I don't think we could let her go if we tried.

-An empathetic attempt to comprehend and console Sammy Lawrence and other residents of the studio.

(This is the eighth and last book in the Hymns of Struggle series. The mature rating is for language, some violence, and heavy existential dread. The cover art is by Startistdoodles on Tumblr.)

THIS IS AN OC × CANON THAT WAS A JOKE SHIP BUT I DECIDED TO WRITE A BOOK ON THAT I'LL PROBABLY NEVER FINISH *My oc is in no way connected to the Bendy and the ink machine universe, so there'll be the use of traveling to different dimensions, and I say that bc I'm not sure how many people like that sort of stuff - Cover art is by me - ----- In one timeline of existence, parasitic creatures are at war with one another for dominance over a planet, causing damage to the creatures thriving on it, mutating them, or driving them to extinction. ever since the beginning the Fire, Ice, and Wind tribe fought over the planet, attack after another, causing the gradually dissapearance in the Wind tribe. The heir to the Fire tribe wants no part in the war, not seeing why they have to fight when they can just go back to the sun, their place of origin, the place she would prefer to live rather than bothering the ecosystem of life on the planet. They had no right to fight over something that was never made for them to live on or coexist on all together. One day she'll have to lead her tribe out to a final war, the ultimate war that'll wipe out the existence of the last tribe, and leave the other standing. The weight of that was overwhelming, but leaving was barely an option, and turning down the idea would only lead to the end of their tribe. But fortunately- and unfortunately- the universe decided to drag her away to another universe, without understanding of where she was or when she'll get back. maybe the war was better than being stuck in a human body.

(Book #4 in the series) (Can be read as a stand-alone) HER A mystery. So very complicated. An enigma. A puzzle with so many missing pieces. Add one of the above ingredients into my plate and call me intrigued. Enter him. He is all of them and more...much more. He claims to be a monster. He doesn't believe in redemption. He is too vague and too dark for me to read. But it's my job now. To help him, figure him out, to find all of his missing pieces, arrange them together and finally obtain the final picture. It's my job, to find his deepest darkest secret. It's my job, to unravel the beast he claims to be and finally see the man behind. HIM Lost. I've been lost for way too many years. I thought it was over. I wanted it to be over. I had nothing to live for anymore. I've killed, I've destroyed and obliterated. It was enough. My role in the story should've ended there. I was too big of a monster to be tamed. Too dangerous to be kept alive. Enter her. Too loud. Too obnoxious. Too naive. Innocent, so very innocent. So intent on aiding me, redeeming me. She is unaware, she is opening a door that was shut down with a broken lock. I am scared. Terrified even. She is too white against my inner darkness. Too pure to be tangled with the devil living within me. We don't mix. We should never mix. Instead of pulling me out of that room, she might just get herself stuck inside as well. She wants to unravel the beast and meet the man behind, but I am scared that if she succeeded, she'll find nothing behind.
