Summary
Aloy never asked to be shunned, ridiculed and outcast her entire life. Nor did she ask to be the Anointed of the Nora, the Champion of the Tenakth, the Savior of Meridian, Chieftan of the Banuk, or to have a task bigger than life itself put onto her shoulders.
All Aloy ever wanted… was her mother.
She still wants her mother, even though she knows Elisabet has been dead for over a thousand years.
But what if, somehow, the world finally granted her a boon? A miracle at sunrise on the horizon.

Summary
She survived Helis. She survived the Eclipse. She survived Hades. Aloy withstood it all, and her vengeance has been won.
After the battle, there is both a hope for the future, and another fight still yet to face. Visions of Rost and his "letters to the wind" draw her towards the west, and murmurs of a way to bring back Gaia set her steadily on her path.
Now, Aloy faces the Forbidden West, and comes to learn and accept that this is not a path she has to walk alone.
Especially not after meeting a mysterious Tenakth with a strange connection back to the east.

Chief Hekarro invites Aloy to be an honored guest at the competition to elevate the next High Marshal, and she gets the orders to "have fun," which is easier with Diviner Alva there with a Quen delegation.
What could go wrong? Or, deliciously right?This relies on reading the first parts of the Trust, and the Release Will Come series (except for the Optional one) and makes frequent allusion to the events in those parts.
