Sylens has returned and asks Aloy and her friends to accompany him to the Odyssey to acquire the APOLLO database in the hope of finding a way to stop Nemesis. One spectacular catastrophe later, the group is separated. Now Aloy, Seyka, and Alva must find a way to get back to GAIA and Beta before Nemesis ends life on Earth once and for all.

This is a direct sequel to The Missing (a few weeks after) and my take on the possibilities in Horizon 3 that no one asked for! If you haven't read The Missing, you might want to but it's not completely necessary to know what's going on.

Some fun Sokorra pics to try and make up for my absence!! Been living life I guess lol. Took a break from gaming but im back into it now! Once I get all the older HFW posts out you'll start seeing some from Zero Dawn(I started it over again lol)

I'd like to think Sokorra goes back to visit Korreh and hears him playing when she arrives <3

He doesn't know she's there yet, lost in his own world of music

Thess vs Plainsong, Again

One thing I do like about this game is that it does encourage you to go back to previously visited places, so you don't necessarily miss out on side quests. Not that I wouldn't have wound up back in that area anyway, but not necessarily Plainsong.

Right; Scalding Spear. Hi, Sokorra You want me to deliver a message to your brother? Sure; I could do with checking how things are in Plainsong anyway.

...A forest of green exclamation marks. So the answer to that is, "Not well". But let's check on Korreh first.

Hi, Korreh; your sister's gone to war again aaaaaaaaand... That's not what you're depressed about. Ah. You need a Longleg part. I feel you, fam.

Hey, Jaxx, any chance we-- Yeah, good, we're on this. And it helps a village too, because-- It looks purple and weird, right; HAEPHESTUS is being a dick again. Lemme just check on the rest of the mess in this area and I'll meet you there.

Okay ... new Chorus member-to-be went missing, presumed dead, and... Y'know, you Chorus guys are assholes. I will go look for her because I wouldn't put it past one of you to have seen to her disappearance. Because apparently even the largely peaceful vegan farmer types aren't above political fuckwittery.

So ... you guys are so desperate for food that you're willing to give up the whole vegan thing? ...Wow, you guys are way better about that kind of thing than the ones in the far past. But ... your hunters got into a mess. Lemme see what I can get from one of the survivors.

...Hi, Ven. Oof, that is some PTSD right there. Just ... take it easy and-- Oh for fuck's sake, HAEPHESTUS, chill the fuck out. Okay, I will deal with the Clawstrider.

Gonna go with the Clawstrider first, in point of fact, because you never know; Lao might not be as left-for-dead as you thought, Ven.

Oh, hey, another Utaru in my path. Not Lao, apparently, but ... in trouble. Lemme see if I can help.

...They're ... really focused on him. I wonder if--

Silent Strike one...

Silent Strike two. I rock.

Huh. I'm going to end up with my first adhesive weapon out of this, aren't I.

One ... two ... and three Skydrifters, one-shot kills from stealth. Woo!

Hi, Lao. Yes, I am hunting the-- Clawstrider, there we go.

"Don't fire until I do--" OMG YOU LET ME START FROM STEALTH THANK YOU.

Aaaaand that's a one-shot kill. So much for "don't fire until I do".

I love how the game just assumes I needed the adhesive. But it might come in handy, so thanks, Lao. Now go home. I'll bring the seed pouches back once I'm done with all the other errands.

Interesting processional path going on here. Aaaaaand ... yeah, we're leading up to murder mystery, aren't we.

I ... had been kind of half-hoping that we'd find Kalae penned in by machines, hurt, hiding ... but nope. Strangled to death by unidentified Utaru girl--

Whoooooooooo apparently got mauled by these assholes. Hi, Stalkers. Bye, Stalkers!

Right. All of the seed pouch delivery can wait. I'd rather not keep Jaxx waiting long than necessary, because he might get into trouble without me.

Yep. And it's fucking Leaplashers.

Okay. Let's go hunting a Longleg. Up the cliff we go.

Awwwwww. Isn't it nice that there are all these things that could crush these creatures for me? Shame I'm going to ignore them. POONK.

Right to the chest compression sac. Right to the damage dampener sac. Right to the damage dampener sac. And done.

Why, thank you, Jaxx. I am rather good with a bow if I do say so myself. You do right by the people of this village; I'll go back to Plainsong to deliver ... mixed news.

Here you go, Korreh.

.........Oooooooooh. Pretty.

Here you go, Shael. Seed pouches. Oldgrowth is ... as safe as it ever gets. I'll check in on Lao later; I've got a murder mystery to deal with.

Yes, Fane, I know your search party didn't find anything. Have you forgotten that "She Who Sees The Unseen" is one of my titles at this point? Look. Seed pouch of the killer. ...Kel's apprentice. I'm not surprised, honestly. Fane was at once too obvious and too ineffectual to be responsible for this. Over to Summerwind.

Ah. Had Kalae killed because you can't accept change, and poisoned yourself to spare your self change and consequences, huh? I guess this saves Bree from having to answer hate with hate.

Fane ... see what comes of being too rigid? The reed that bends in the wind survives the storm, asshole.

Okay, done with this. I will hit up a couple of metal flowers I missed and then go help out Talanah.

...Well, that's the idea anyway. Except that my neighbours are doing this big music thing which is about 90% evangelical stuff and 10% Bob Marley. It's loud enough that I can feel it in my chest, and I can't just close the windows because a) it's 26 degrees and b) ... again, I can feel it in my chest so I doubt that'll help. And now on top of everything else, I have a migraine. Do they have to have it this fucking loud?

...OMG THEY JUST TURNED THE VOLUME UP! This entire weekend is going to suck ass.

Horizon Tag Game

Ride or die ship (OTP): Aloy/Seyka <33

Most annoying ship: pass

Second favorite ship: Aloy/Alva <33

Favorite platonic relationship: don't make me pick just one!! Aloy and Beta, Alva and Kotallo, Aloy and Varl, Erend and Zo...

Underrated ship: Aloy/Alva and Beta/Sokorra (Have you read The Missing? No? Read it. Yes? Read it again.)

One thing I would change in canon: Varl's death

Something canon did right: Aloy's character development start to finish. WLW ROMANCE. Criticizing the ultra-rich. Hopepunk. "Sticks and stones against the lightning."

A thing I'm proud of creating for the fandom (PLEASE BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF I WANT TO SEE/READ YOUR ART): My Alva portrait and my WIP fic, What Lies Beneath. These games and this fandom make the creativity GO.

A character who is perfect to me (wouldn't change a thing): All of the GAIA gang omfg I love them all.

Character I relate to the most and why: Probably Alva. Among other things, we're both excitable nerds. I relate a lot to Beta and Aloy too in different ways.

Character(s) I hate the most and why: pass

Three tags I seek out on AO3: Um. Aloy/Seyka. Seyka/Aloy. Uhhh. Seyloy. I think I've read everything in the Aloy/Alva tag as well.

A song I strongly associate with my OTP/Favorite character: ohhh I have so many Aloy songs. “Daffodil” Florence + the Machine. “Raise Hell” Brandi Carlile. “Chasing Twisters” Delta Rae. “Air So Sweet” Dodie. “Watch Me While I Bloom” Hayley Williams.

[foibles-fables]

Opinion on random rare pairs? For some reason I thought of Sokorra/Beta the other day and now I’m kinda into it lmao

OOOHHH nonny I love this one. I'm usually inclined to toss her with Milu or Michael Cera Oseram Larend, but Sokorra is an AWESOME idea. I would like to see it.

[loumauve]

Sneaking on here late at night (not THAT late, but I still should probably go to bed else the migraine comes back) to humbly request some Milu thoughts 💖

sorry for the delay in answering this one, but thank you for asking!!💕

✨MILU✨

alright. what is there to say about her that y'all don't already know and feel.. hmm

she's a precious bean, she is fierce and brave and adorable.

she presumably made the trip to Meridian all by herself (if there was more detail about her journey that I'm forgetting right now I apologize), she saw the struggles her tribe was facing and decided to step up and figure out a way she could help, determined to do her part even if it was against the Utaru ways, in order to help preserve them and their future.

she's optimistic but not oblivious to the things going on around her, she was obviously impressive and eager enough to catch Talanah's attention and be allowed to become her Thrush, and we know she can handle herself.

I think in a lot of ways she also kind of mirrors a younger Zo, though not as traumatised, hopefully. (though, who knows. don't remember if we ever learn more about her family, if they're still around and if so where, and how they're doing. so I guess in theory she could be dealing with more personal grief as well, in addition to the general Utaru grief over their lands failing them and their Land Gods' ailments) they're both proactive, caring individuals, who put the greater good of their tribe above the ways of the tribe when necessary.

anyway, the rest of the reasons I like her are more to do with shipping her with Beta (and possibly Sokorra bc why not. you know me and my love of ot3s. plus we've already talked lake Tallneck date night, lol)

I just think she would be the perfect candidate to get Beta out of her shell (and into the sun). and to be able to handle her at her worst, I guess. not to take her bullshit or lashing out without complaint, just to be understanding and willing to listen once she apologises. to help her heal from past hurts and trauma. Milu while exciteable still seems like a solid, calm character. like, someone who would listen if you had irrational worries or if you were struggling to stay present in the moment.

(am I projecting? naaaaaaah. shut up)

and she seems interested enough in what Talanah has told her about Aloy's journey thus far, that she'd probably be interested to hear more about Beta and anything.. focus-related. definitely more than willing to try and help with what's coming next.

plus, she's still in training, so getting Beta on board with that might not be a bad idea, she knows enough to help her with the basics, and the rest they can learn together. I think their different areas of expertise would be good and quite complementary.

also, she's cute. have I mentioned that? I just love her so much. her excited lil fists give me life and I just want her around forever and always.

also - she's definitely more out-going than Beta, so I think that would help as well.

Looking at how they want Seyka to be to Aloy, I still don't understand why they made Kina as shallow of a character as she is. Even Sokorra and Korreh has much more personality than Kina is...

Hell Ersa only shows up for a tiny bit and you can see she's everything what everyone sees her. A capable warrior.
