  Summary

  Hallownest lies in ruins after the earth shook and the infection became no more. Things have settled in a new normalcy with the end of Hallownest’s perpetuation.

  One young mantis, unlike the rest of his kin, chafes against the path set for him by his family and elders and he doesn’t see a way out that’s worth it.
  A normally VERY unlucky encounter changes everything.
  Shoutout to Mumbles(MumblesTheMoth) for his inspiration via his great fic "The Moth From The Wastes"!
  Shoutout to Zora_TheSideCharacter, MisspelledWitch, CandorTheCreator, especially BSlependens and others on the Elegies of Hallownest Server!
