While the North of the land of Vilvanek are against outlander and shall never allow them in their rank, the east are more open after a few years thanks to a odd creature known as General Azara. Her tall and slender body looks like nothing seen across the land and while she is known as a fearsome leader, not many knows it is nothing but a facade.


She is a kind heart being who convinced the King to be open, allow outlander who wish to lend an hand enter their city, at first he refused but when she said they could join their troops giving them more soldiers the king immediatly approved. Of course Azara did not wish for any of them to join this pointless war but it was the only way to convice him.


Thus many outlander joined the army of Dal Komor, one of them is known as Zal, a 3 eye albino yinglet who came from a small village, rugged clothes, shelltooth pendant and trembling out of fear. Claim he joined in only so he could be strong enough to save his family, not much different reason as any but still a reasonable one to be allowed as a soldier.


While he claimed wishing to save his kind, the main reason was to save the only person who ever cared about him, Neeva. She was one of the first hatch stolen from home and forced to be raised by a bitter man, he on the other hand was the last batch of eggs stolen, covered in blood it was obvious their master has faced problem and had to kill who ever protected their eggs.


Unlike his brethren, he was unable to cut through his shell, so was a few of the remaining eggs, unfortunately the laws of nature would deem him weak and worthless, and death was his faith, but Neeva did not accept such a fate and opened the eggs for him . Sadly she was caught and the rest of the eggs were destroyed, Zal was allowed to live but the life he went through was pure hell.


Due to his mutation the rest of his kin would mock and harass him, leaving Neeva to become a mother figure and protect , raise and even feed the poor guy. When their master was not around she would even train him to thhe same trainning she had to endure, it went for a year before the master caught him, he banished Zal for attempting to corrupt neeva's purpose he claimed. Before he left Zal and Neeva pluck their shell tooth out and made a pendant for each to wear so they never forget eachother, and the promise they made that one day they'll escape this place together.


Now a high rank spear knight, he went on a mission that passed near his village, he took the opportunity to break his oat of never leaving an objective for personal affair, but as he came near the place his heart stopped for a few second, the whole place was completly wiped out, nothing but ashes and death. He panicked and ran around, searching for any survivor, then quickly searched for any Yinglet corpses, some were nothing but bones while others were in a decomposing state, he oddly smell and licked all of their skulls as he somehow could identify them, he sight in relief as none of them wore a tooth pendant and tasted or smelled like Neeva.


While looking around he remembered all the pain she and he had to go through, each house and hole where an house should be reminded him of all those cruel humans, he then stared at the tree having a noose cut down, which was odd as there were no corpses around it, or did the village ever hung someone before. Plus suicide was not really a thing a human would do in this town as simply being abusive to Yinglets made you a good neighbor.


Zal reached under his clothes to grab his pendant and stare at it for a few moment, then at the destroyed village. Once done he proceeded to his objective hoping that she was alive and well , and that one day they shall still meet even if their original plan did not work out well, since theres not much to escape out of now.
