(i will finish this later. You can edit out grammatical errors)

### Chapter 1: seeking for new love

> *"Her Grey Prince diminished and her White Saviour revealed as beast, the Maiden at last understood the truth.*
>
>

> *Her life's companion would not appear, for they could not appear to a maiden sat idle. She must instead seek them out, must find her love, and free them of their solitude.
> And thus her own journey began, out into dangerous lands, shielded by her love awaiting, guided by her love to be.
> With every step, the maiden could feel it, their fated meeting, coming ever closer."*

*\*sigh\**

"It's over now," Bretta said to herself as she closed her diary and lifted a little bag of food from the ground. She gave a last look at her comfy bed and left the house. Outside, her Grey Prince was still talking like somebody was in front of him. She traversed across the town to reach one of the only shops left in the desolate town that was Dirtmouth. Inside, a female bug and a cozy-looking cot hung from the ceiling. The shopkeeper sighed. Iselda was her name, right? She bought a map for her journey. Then she needed a weapon. That other shopkeeper had a spare nail, that Bretta bought for herself. Now ready to go, she walked past Grey prince one last time not even looking at him. His repeating words faded away as Bretta jumped down the well.

The drop was pretty long but Bretta did not regret her decision. As she was almost to hit the bottom, she curled up to a ball to make the fall softer. Somewhere in the distance bretta saw a little vengefly minding its own business.  She found a little cave to stay for the night, but a bug with glowing orange eyes already lived in it. Bretta could feel the same aura that she dreamed of earlier, just before her fake saviour came and woke her up. The bug charged towards Bretta and she stepped aside and slashed with her nail. The bug exploded into some orange goo. Bretta threw it out and set up a little camp to sleep. In the cave was one geo stuck on the rocks. Unfortunately it was broken. Dreaming about her new love yet to be met, she slept until the next morning and the new dangers that had appeared...

### Chapter 2: the Red Warrior

Bretta woke up to a weird almost divine scream. Outside the world was filled with orange blobs that beated like a heart. That little vengefly was now huge and orange blobs grew out of its flesh. Bretta didn't even go close but it attacked anyways. With some surprisingly skilled nail attacks, bretta managed to take down that screeching monstrosity. When she was walking back to take her stuff, a horrific explosion smashed her into the wall and the world faded to black.

"Hey!" Bretta could hear a voice reaching to her in the darkness she had fallen: "Are you okay?" Bretta tried to open her eyes or move, but the darkness kept her still. the voice that had given her hope in the depths of her mind slowly faded away too, leaving bretta alone again.

Bretta woke up in a dark cave. She could hear spiders moving all around that cave and even sometimes coming in, but there was someone else in the cave. She had a nice red dress and snow white head, similiar to her false saviour. "Oh, you are awake" the stranger said, "my name is Hornet and you are in my home, Deepnest.

the rest of the day Bretta spent observing Hornet training. She just loved Hornets agility and skill with her needle and the way she laughed silently whenewer she hit the targets moving everytime faster and faster. When night started coming near, Hornet asked Bretta if she would like to train with her. Bretta exitedly agreed and Hornet taught her some new moves with her nail. "You need to use your weapon as an extension to your hand" she advised "or else it will stay in your way while fighting" after some practising, they both went to sleep. Bretta saw a new future brighten up to her. Maybe she could spend an eternity with this Red Warrior.

And so days went by, living with her Red Warrior. now Hornet was not her protector anymore, more like a fighting teacher and soon they fought together against the infected spiders. Bretta had learned to be confident and independent wich none of her last loves could not teach her. After some time they couldn't stay thete hidden from the other world so they left. Horned had promised Bretta a way to prove herself with real fighters. And so they left from the gloomy darkness of Deepnest to The light.

###  chapter 3: respect

the light was almos blinding, but after some time, bretta could see again and she just looked in awe. It was a throne room, gorgeous and royal. There was four thrones but one was broken and no one was sitting there. In the three thrones still whole sat three proud looking mantises looking at Hornet and Bretta. probably the mantis lords. "Princess, we remember you, but who is this journeying with you to pass trough that door. Is it creature of deepnest that followed you?" They said to Hornet but Bretta was the one to respond: "my name is bretta and i- i- " Hornet nodded to her supportively "i want to challenge you!" One of the lords smiled a little bit as she said: "as you wish. Princess, please step aside. Let our battle begin"

right when hornet jumped away, a cage dropped down blocking bretta and the lords in. Spikes were revealed all around near the cages wall. "Fight until the other one would win. No killing" one of them said just before jumping down from the throne. she was fast. Bretta could not land a hit on her because she was busy dodging the the mantis striking rentlessly. "Use your nail as a part of your dodges" Hornet shouted from somewhere outside the cage. Bretta first used this technique to get used to the fast rythm. Dodge, attack. Dodge, attack. Soon she started to use the spikes as her advantage. She would be near the spikes so the mantis could not charge to her and was forced to use other kinds of attacks. When one mantis was down, two othets attacked at the same time. Bretta got hit many times trying to learn the new even faster pace of the fight. After some struggling she finally got dominance in the fight and won. The lords bowed to her and she bowed back. Now she had earned the respect of more bugs but her journey was just at the beginning

###  Chapter 4: near the end

They had been in the city of tears for some time now. After Bretta had beaten the mantis lords, Her Red Warrior wanted to show more of Hallownest. Sometimes she was away helping Brettas False saviour. As time went on, bretta loved Hornet more and more. Hornet had saved her in so many ways. One time Hornet didn't come back when she had promised. Worried, bretta roamed around looking for her, but she wasn't close. Finally when night was already turning to morning, her Red Warrior returned trough the way to deepnest looking very sad. Not knowing what to do, Bretta hugged her. Hornet was startled at first but then responded to the hug.

After that, Hornet started to teach Bretta hallownests history. Everything she knew about the pale king, the dreamers and herself. She even took Bretta to the black egg temple where two of the three dreamer masks vere faded away. Only the one with a hole in the middle of the mask was left. Hornet told bretta about the another way to solve this and that everything would be over soon. "After this is over, will we still be together?" Bretta asked. "Of course we will" Her Red Warrior promised. As they were talking, the last mask faded away.  Hornet saw that and sighed: "It's time very soon"

### Chapter 5: Saviours choice

They set up a camp behind the temple to wait Brettas false saviour. Hornet said that they would save Hallownest from the Radiance and her influence. Every day they waited there, talking about the nice times they would live in after this all is over. "I- I like you" Bretta said one day. "That is very nice for you to say" Hornet said happily and hugged her: "and i kind of was waiting for it" . Suddenly they heard footsteps of a tiny creature. "It's time", Hornet said, "you wait here! Do not try to follow me. Understand?" Bretta nodded as her Red Warrior went to talk to False Saviour.

as False saviour and hornet went in, Bretta waited for them to return, staying hidden. After a while, she heard again that divine scream and fight noises, but she didn't recognise Hornets voice as Red Warrior always used to scream her battle shouts. After a while she heard hornet. Then more fighting an suddenly she heard hornet letting go a little surprised shout and then nothing else from her. Fight noises continued and bretta started running towards the entrance hoping to save her love. She entered and fight noises had stopped. The door that had had all the dreamers was now exploded open. As hornet triet to run trough that door, a new wall blocked her. It had grown back. Crying, bretta tried to break the new wall that sealed the Red Warrior in as a flash of light stopped her. The wall now had a picture of the new dreamer who sealed itself inside the temple. It was a glowing picture of Hornet, once her love, now lost forever. Bretta fell to the ground sobbing and let the darkness swallow her again.
