Many talk about the kingdom, and the lone ghost who walks it. Other talk about its protector, who went missing not very long ago.
And I wander.
I have met the Nailmasters. I have seen the Troupe. But as a move through this place, I see what remains.
What little is there to say now? I have braved the deepest nest, the basin, the coliseum. But the ruin still calls me.
Why? And I wander. I then I came face to face with him. The Lord. He spoke. Asking for me to come home.
I realized then.
I was not the only one.
Not the first to escape the abyss.
I surrendered myself to him. I felt my shell leave.
I saw. Godhome. Hallownest.
All of Them. How long had it been? How far had i gone? I was home. The Shades. The Vessels. There comes a time when all wanderers must come home.
As my memory melds with so many others, i see all of us. Wanderers.
Shades. Vessels. Empty. Fateless. Yet now. We are whoIe. Filled.
No longer do I wander.

ooo interesting!
It reminds me of how the elves in Tolkien speak of Valinor, and their duty to return there to await the end of all things.
