RESCUE HOUND Afterthought: Leinth
Added 2025-05-13 17:33:45 +0000 UTCAnd here we are - the very last thing that'll bear the title 'RESCUE HOUND'. I've referred to it previous as an epilogue or a side story, but since neither of those are quite right (Ch. 11 is really the epilogue, and this takes place afterwards rather than in parallel) I'm settling on the appellation 'Afterthought' - and yes, the cruelty is the point :)
Some time after the events of RESCUE HOUND, Leinth reflects on her time apart from Sartha and the resulting dynamics, and is then properly introduced to Kione Monax - who makes the hierarchy between them painfully clear in her own, awful way
Certainly not the most narratively significant episode of WARHOUND, but I had a lot of people asking about Leinth and I realized there could be a fun little story there, involving putting her in a room with post-corruption Kione. Sorry Leinth
Enjoy! And now begins (for me, anyway) the big edit

Each hound having their own tailored breaking makes the process so deeply fascinating. Getting that little hint of what she's becoming is driving me absolutely feral. I'd kill to be a fly on the wall of her kennel!
