The Narrative of the Broken
A final coda or epilogue. A legend that does not seem to have an attached folklore at all, but which does seem to exist in the world. Something that for want of a title she calls “The Narrative of the Broken”.
Summary
In a world before, before that world ended and this one became, there were Three Immortals, who through their efforts reached the highest of the stars, with the intent to gain entry to the garden that lay beyond it.
But when they opened the gates of that walled off garden and saw the fountain of light at its centre, and realised what it could do, one of them turned on the others.
The Traitor caught the first of their two companions by surprise and broke them. And left them to fall from the sky. And when the Broken awoke, it was to a world that was recognisable, but only as recognisable traces left under some new unfamiliar paradigm. A world that had been scoured and built over.
Bastet doesn’t know where this particular legend comes from or where it’s supposed to end, but it seems that the Broken is still alive somewhere. Still immortal. And has made it their mission to find the other two. The Traitor and the one that remained Faithful.
