Having lost both her children and army all in one go, Queen Chrysalis decides it best to start anew by hiring her very own group of henchponies to assist in her nefarious ways.

Sadly, as the old saying goes, good help is hard to come by.

And even harder to keep.

I thought you knew how much we loved you.

So why did you leave?

My entry for the 52nd Quills and Sofas Speedwriting contest. The prompt was "Where'd you go?"

This I know: cold feet and a lousy day at work and hunger can all be solved by cuddling a pony in front of a fireplace.

A human living in Canterlot castle is given to Queen Chrysalis as part of peace negotiations between Equestria and the Hive. Celestia knew she shouldn't have let Luna finish the negotiations herself.

It all used to be so simple: find a lead, survey the land, and grab a take to tide the Gang over for a few months. But the era of outlaws in the Equestrian Southwest is coming to an end, and it has no tolerance for ponies like Kestrel. Wanted by the law and stealing just to survive, Kestrel will have to take the fate of her band of outlaws into her own hooves and try to give them a good life... or die trying.

A comment-driven Choose Your Own Adventure story inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2. Key events in some chapters are in part influenced by dice rolls, which can be seen in my discord server. Be wary as the dice rolls may spoil current and past chapters.

As this story is different from traditional fare, there are a few caveats going in, inspired by another great CYOA story:

1. The chapters will be kept fairly short, ideally not longer than 1500 words per chapter, barring the choices and author's notes.
2. The vote will always have the last say, even if the choice they have chosen is suboptimal in terms of its effects in-world.
3. The story will end once the fate of the Gang is resolved, though it may end prematurely if Kestrel dies before this can happen.

You can see Kestrel's character sheet, along with important information about the Gang, here.

On a dark and stormy evening, one young man is ripped from home to a place both familiar and yet different. Torn from everything he’s known, he’s faced with an encounter of the hoofed kind, that changes him arguably for the better. But destiny is a fickle thing. Having traded one existence for another, comparatively boring one, he’s left with little freedom but much guidance. It’s a gilded cage, one from which he can merely catch glimpses of the outside land, of magic and ponies. Fighting both cabin fever and a growing self-doubt, he must have faith, if not in himself, then in finding a way home. For if not for his sanity, then for his sake, he better have the fortitude to withstand the curve balls sent his way.

A man wakes up with no idea what is going on, but one thing is sure, he is not a human anymore.

While Hornet mourned the Knight’s death, the Pure Vessel awakens in world so strange he can’t comprehend it.

But that’s not the only thing that’s happened to him.

Somehow, he could now feel emotion, something that he knew made him impure.

Even more perplexing, he could now speak!

But, before he can think on what happened to him, he finds himself thrust into a wild adventure so strange to him - and the people of this world - so he hefts his nail and bounds into the light.

This is the story of the new Hollow Knight.

These are the only other stories that crossover with Hollow Knight.
