Summary
Ascension. It was supposed to be the escape from the constant cycles of death and rebirth. They had survived so many downpours of rain, starting with the first one that had washed them away from their family. The trials that they had overcome, the pain, it was supposed to end once they plunged deep into the earth as far as they could go. Reuniting with their family, their kin; was it too high of a hope?
Animalistic desires unravel the ascension process. They had been told this, by a friend (was she a friend? Foreign the concept was to the small and puny mind of a slugcat), but they had ignored the warning and attempted to ascend nonetheless. Perhaps this was what she had meant, when she said the desire to ascend would drive anyone mad.
This is not what they pictured failed ascension to be like. New faces, a new world to explore. Odd it may be, but the slugcat will prevail regardless.
In which Hallownest has an odd face clambering up from the Ancient Basin.

Summary
The Hunter thought it fully understood its purpose. It would travel to the other iterator, it would deliver its payload, and it would die of its disease, maybe never to wake up again. Simple, easy, straightforward. Only, it seems like it found something that might be worth living for, and now things have gotten a lot more complicated.
A very canon-compliant look at what The Hunter's journey is like, down to the fact that slugpups must be brought along at all costs even if it means potentially losing the run.
