Neeva's last assault was a failure, she sneaked around the city of Dal komor, placing explosive outside and inside the target's building. He was a dangerous drug dealer who wore Yinglet skin as a coat, showing his appreciation for their existence, such vile act wouldnt not go unpunished from the fearsome Matriarch .


Turns out someone knew of her coming, waited for the right moment to strike, missing her as she clumsily dodged the spear attack from an armored Yinglet just like her. Except this one was a soldier of the city of Dal Komor, Neeva decided to make a run for it in case it was an ambush. Due to her size and nimble body she managed to avoid some of the crossbow bolt shot by the soldiers as others chased after her.


Taking tight corridor she successfully reduced greatly their number as she manage to escape the city, with her pursuer not too far behind. From then it was a game of cat and mouse as Neeva attempted to escape the soldiers, hiding waiting for a patrol to go further in the forest without noticing her. She did successfully stealth kill a few soldier before reaching a rope bridge leading to the heart of the forest. There was no other way around, it was surrendered with a river that was deep and filled with dangerous aquatic creatures. Even managing to traverse the river, the time taken to climb up ground level of the path would be time consuming.



Neeva stares at the bridge taking heavy breath as she ran for hours, and her armor was begining to feel heavier than usual, draining her stamina faster. she heard branches breaking but by the time she turned around, the spear of the yinglet soldier sliced through her leather stomach part, leaving a bleeding wound . As a riposte her switch blade slashed the yinglet helmet off, leaving a scar to its face. Neeva suddenly froze as she recognized the yinglet. It was one of her brother she knew since birth, who promised to find aid to rescue her and the others but never came. And Zenyar even said he left him for dead in the city since he lost his legs thus was dead weight.



Her heart was filled with joy but suddenly turned into hatred, and she laughed , weakly but slowly becoming louder. Zal yelled what she found funny, as the terrorist known as the Matriarch, she had no right to laugh at her situation, claiming if she did not surrender he would put her down for good.


he took a defensive stance while the mysterious bomb maniac removed her armor, shoulder pads and tossed her helmet away , Zal did not seem to recognized her at first. Not until the famous Tooth pendant was revealed, though he was not as smart as she believed, as he claimed she murdered Neeva and took her pendant. His accusation were short lived after she told everything about their past, undeniably proving she was the real Neeva.



When he realized he spend so much time searching for a psychopath who murdered innocent lives for an insane goal of forced respect of their kind, he let out his anger towards her, accusing her of many horrid things, calling her all kind of atrocious word that wounded Neeva deeper than the spear cut. her eyes filled with tears of sorrows, she replied that '' she may be insane , but it is nothing compared to celebrating the death of all his brothers , and forcing Lady Ozma to touch all of their remain so she would be filled with visions of horrible deaths. ''




Zal Tried to justify these actions saying '' zhey were all mocking me and treating me as a freak, you were zhe only one who ever cared about me'' Which neeva replied.


'' zhey laughed because your third eye can move opposite directions of your normal eyes, you know damn well our species is not zhe smartes.... after all zhey believe farts are zhe funniest zhing ever...such repulsive humor. Also Zenyar treated you just as well as me, yet you tossed him like trash once you achieve your goal of becoming a soldier. Why did you take zhat many years to come back to our home village if you truly cared about me!? What about zhe years of torment i suffered wizh our ''master'' while you lived your fucking dream!??! You are a selfish bastard who only seeked me in hope of being forgiven, you wanted to remove your guilt not rescue me from my shackle...... I was so hoping to be wizh you after zhis year... but now you are nozhing but a dead man walking''.



Neeva yanked her tooth necklace off and thrown it on the ground, tears fell down her cheeks as she heard multiple footsteps coming towards them. She quickly grabbed a bomb and rubbed the ignition tip against her file metal peg leg, she stared at Zal and thew the bomb near him, Zal immediatly jumped away while Neeva took the opportunity to run past the bridge. As the soldiers reaches the bridge as well, the bomb exploded tearing limbs apart, screaming in agony while emptying themselves of their blood.


Neeva was half way through the bridge as she heard Zal running on it as well, she activated her switch blade and held on the bridge rope as she sliced it off, the bridged snapped in half, Zal held on the rope and was stuck on the opposite side of Neeva, as she climbed up and escaped to the heart of the forest. Zal sadden with his encounter, grabbed the tooth pendant Neeva threw away and headed back home, leaving the dying soldier to their fate, not caring of his allies lives.

---

Neeva now lost the only thing she cherished for all these years, she felt hope holding to her pendant, knowing that one day she would be back with her dearest brother Zal, unfortunately, he gave up on her and his family , and seemed only to be seeking Neeva out of guilt or shame than to fulfill his promise, and now he pays the price having to face her sister as an enemy, the sin of his past will not be easily vanquished.
