While Shizame was taking a day off, enjoying a few drinks at a tavern that could tolerate his ''cursed'' eyes, a scav entered the establishment and delivered a letter to his table. The yinglet did not seem brain dead so the letter surely was not just a coincidence, you can never know with them if they are just doing random things or are aware of their acts.


The letter was written by a person he never thought would appear again in his life, the purple killer known as Neeva, she was asking his presence immediately at the last location they have met years ago. Before he could stand up, he was approached by his brother Vetka, he was done completing a contract and wanted to know how Shizame's life has been these last weeks.


Shizame replied he had no time to chat as he was summoned by an old friend, Vetka insisted to follow even after Shizame repeated multiple time it would be a bad idea. But as stubborn as Vetka was, there was no way to talk him down so he brought him to the meeting area. It was night time so they decided to start a camp fire, it was not a dangerous move since the mountain area had welcoming forest and not dangerous beast.


While they were catching up, Neeva finally made her presence known, she did not greet Shizame and immediatly asked who was the other Nevrean and why did he brought him along. Before either could reply Neeva cut them off saying it mattered not as she wanted the meeting to be brief.


Vetka finding her rude, interrupted Neeva asking who she thought she was with that atitude. When she revealed herself to be ''zhe Matriarch'' Vetka began speaking loudly, his rage peaked to its limit as he witnessed multiple explosion caused by her, the victims of her attacks and the horrible mangled corpses. The more he yelled the more Neeva began to worry about something.


She released a loud sigh as she had to jump behind Vetka, which revealed a unusual sized and colored Indrel, only inches from grabbing Vetka's throat. Neeva had to gently rub her antennas and tried to calm her protector down, while it seemed to have relaxed, the Indrel face was still filled with wrath.


Neeva demanded that Shizame made his friend sit down and shut up, which obviously Vetka protested fearing an attack from the large insect if he turned his back to it. Neeva replied that she would not attack him unless he raised his voice at her again.


After Vetka finally sat down he told Shizame he was an idiot for befriended a psychopath , Shizame laughed replying that Vetka has slain so many bandits and muggers, many of them were probably desperate people in need of shelter, making him no less better than her.



Neeva cleared her throat clearly not pleased with the uninvited guest so she went straight to the point of the meeting. Her scout claims to have witnessed a pack of scavs throwing a rock at travelers, turning them into yinglets. They then kidnapped the victims. She was asking for their aid in discovering what kind of twisted object would cause such effect. To find such stone and to exceed extreme vigilance as the rocked seemed unstable and exploded in contact with a non yinglet race.


Vetka tried to hold a laugh from the nonsensical story, Shizame simply nodded and said he would try to find out what he could find about it, he asked Vetka if he could help him out and do some investigation on his side. He was about to reply something vulgar towards Neeva but Shizame's face clearly said '' don't you dare'' so he simply smile and replied he would do his best.


As both were about to leave Neeva pulled Shizame tail and asked in a cold and serious tone '' next time i want to meet you, do not bring unwanted crowd, you were lucky i arrived before Lemon tore his dumbass head off'' which Shizame awkwardly chuckle assuring her Vetka would not want to be back even if he asked anyway.


Neeva watched both Nevrean leave while Lemon crawled towards her and lift her up, she then carried the matriarch back home.
