Summary
Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.
Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.
Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

Summary
She blinks away the spotting in her vision, looking around at the horrid predicament she’s found herself in. Surrounding her are tangles of roots, composed from the same matter as Greyroot. But these have no life pulsing through them. The bark is dry, brittle entirely. She uses this weakness to her advantage, throwing her weight around as much as she is able until the wood breaks, sending her careening to the ground. Her movement seems to startle whatever was shoved into her as its movements quicken and her pain increases. She spends many moments curled around herself on the ground, choking back expletives and sobs. The creature pushes out against her shell, she can feel its tendrils wrapped around her organs, squeezing them, destroying them. She gags. Nothing comes out.
Or: Hornet has gotten herself cursed and must find a way to survive it, cure it, and live in the aftermath.

Summary
During her travels, Hornet finds a mysterious shackle meant to bind malfunctioning automatons for future disassembly. Such a discovery would be insignificant — except more and more similar shackles keep appearing around the choral chambers, as if hunting a certain prey.
She's not the only one who has noticed. The Second Sentinel of Pharloom remembers such shackles from ages ago — and if their suspicion is correct, it is not just themselves who is in danger from an old hunter's obsession.
It will take both of their combined strength to combat this unseen foe…
(…and if that draws them closer together, well. That's just a bonus.)
