  Summary

  This story follows the (relatively canonical, with some fun twists) journeys of Six, Seven / the Runaway Kid, as well as an OC named Eight (based on the 'runaway girl' from the DLC) as they work together to defeat monstrous enemies and escape the Maw. This work is finished and has a sequel called Children of Pale City!
