Aio is a special boy who's life is changed when he meets a Banuk Tribe. For him, being the way he is is normal. For them, it is incomprehensible. Follow him on his journey to discovering who he is and why.
This story is set into the Horizon Zero dawn world, but doesn't have any direct link to the storyline. So if you have never played the game it is not a problem! ^^
Here is an extract from one of my chapters called 'Blond Braids'.

"What have you done to this Sawtooth? Why did it stop attacking you? How did you-"

"I don't know!" Aio cut him off. Why was everyone always blaming him?! What had he done to deserve that? He had no idea whatsoever about why the Sawtooth acted 'weirdly'. If he were alone, it would not have even occurred to him there was something 'off' with the beast. Machines had brains, didn't they? What was so wrong with them thinking? Or changing their behaviour? Nobody asked why a machine wasn't hostile around another machine, yet they asked why it wasn't around him. Where was the difference?
