Here we go. Show's over, folks. As Sartha Thrace wanders, lost, through the labyrinth of the Imperial Palace, struggling to make sense of herself and her role in the new regime Handler is building, she encounters a guiding light - and then something worse

To tell the truth, I'm quite nervous about this chapter! It's trying to strike a slightly different tone and achieve some different creative goals from prior WARHOUND bad ends. But my beta readers have been very positive about it, and I think it's ready for the limelight. This one is very mean to puppy in some ways, but I hope you'll trust that it lays the groundwork for grander and stranger things ahead

Enjoy! And my deepest possible thanks to my beta readers Esme, Maggie, and Olivka

I adored every part of this, like dying synapses finally giving up. I feel so bad, also delighted, it's amazing< 3

i REALLY loved this. wonderfully destabilizing leaving behind the usual feeling of inevitability

You have well and truly outdone yourself Sir. Showhound has been amazing, and this chapter genuinely made me cry a little bit. Reading about poor sartha without her muzzle was really compelling. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

I adored every aspect of Sartha's mind slowly collapsing. to the point where it was so good in it's descriptions I started to become envious of her situation. I can't wait for more works like this. Genuinely amazing.

This made my heart ache in a *very* good way. Oh my god, this was absolutely incredible! There was a point where I honestly thought Thezea might actually be there. I love being slowly gaslight by a story, it's such an amazing feeling!

Just when I think I've got a grasp on Handler and what She is thinking or planning, I find myself caught another few steps behind. I could see the direction things were progressing in, but not this quickly! You've painted a beautifully grim future with this story, going beyond a Bad End for just one or a handful of characters. Everything about this is bleak, and I just wanna hug them all until they feel okay again, Sartha, Leinth, Amynta (fuck it, even you, Kione). Will never tire of how you write Bad Endings, but will also never stop yearning for what could've been.

Thanks for the new chapter, the apathetic of those imperial are very well done , such an evil irredeemable human in those group . And she is leading ahead with pretty much hold on quite a few part of the empire already , surely she wont be satisfied until everyone is under her boot. As for the incident Yup , the one too hard to crack are fed to the beast , but i guess her not following the instructions also a way to manipulate her . Also , Man she is laying the corrective programming on quite thick aint she? Let slip the leash and instantly pull it taut , fucking bitch :v

"Handler doesn't need her anymore" broke my fucking heart 😢 And there's more to come??? I can't even imagine where that will go, but I'm excited/dreading to find out!

An incredible, in a way triumphant, ending. I think this is going to stay with me for a while. A nightmarish look into Sartha's fractured psyche, all as I knew how it would inevitably end. Your writing really is something else, Kallie. I cannot wait to see what this new age of monsters brings.

I have goosebumps… Each bad end is more horrific and inescapable than the last; a truly delectable read. Eagerly awaiting the coming descent into a new world of hell.

Really interesting and weird chapter. I perked up especially when you, Kallie the dubcon mom, fetishized consent and willful submission above all else :D last time I said to you Id soon need some reprise here in the face of fascism winning. But reading of Handler dance at the end and of her operations expanding ("trainees and subjects") still somehow had me internally cheering. Her image as an apex parasite was lovely.

I love how well you capture the psychological horror of everything within the warhound universe. It is so deliciously disturbing, and what keeps me captivated. Each horror being revealed when it offers the most destructive potential.
