You leap from building to building halfheartedly as you explore Derse. The colors are about the same. The smell is similar too.

Your senses take you back to Derse. Not this one, this is not your Derse. Your Derse looked different. It felt different. The people were scared and kept their heads down. Your Derse showed you a caste system in its truest form and made you question your own.

You healed the people through rage. You took shattered hopes and despair and replaced them with targeted fury. You took out those who would unfairly oppose the masses and gave the weak the will to fight.

You stopped to wonder if your new found abilities were a gift from the universe. Your purple garb an indication of what you deserved to be. You still stop and think about this, but you never speak about it.

"Why do you fish?"

>Syfrah: Assess the situation

You just got out of a scuffle with 4 Dersites that attacked you and your little friends. You were previously planning how to infiltrate the castle that their kind has erected on your planet so that you can find the Leader of Rage that you're supposed to serve.

A Chameleon approaches and frantically points at the 3 you killed.

>Syfrah: Look at the 3 bodies on the ground.

hS: okay, wE havE a big round guy, a tall sskinny guy, and a sshort skinny guy with a lot of sshiny sshit. what'ss thE big dEal?

You toss a side glance to a short round Dersite. He seems to be terrified and content in thinking you doesn't see him.

The Chameleon chirps and hisses at you.

>Syfrah: React appropriately

hS: WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WASS THE LEADER OF RAGE?! WHY THE FUCK DID HE TRY TO KILL ME IF I'M SSUPPOSSED TO DO SSHIT FOR HIM? >:<

The Chameleon whines softly.

hS: I WILL NOT FUCKING CALM DOWN! YOU JUSST TOLD ME THAT I CAN'T FINISSH MY FUCKING QUESST!!! I'M IN A FANGBEASST PIT WITHOUT A WEAPON BECAUSSE MOTHERFUCKERSS KEEP MESSSSING WITH MY PLANET! WHAT AM I SSUPOSSED TO DO NOW?!

>

The Chameleon smiles weakly and steps away from you.

hS: GIVING UP AND ACCEPTING FATE ISSN'T A FUCKING PLAN! I'M NOT GONNA ROLL OVER AND SSHOW MY FUCKING SSTOMACH TO FATE AND HOPE I GET LUCKY.

The Chameleon peeps at you and tilts his head.

hS: EVERY KEEPSS FUCKING THINGSS UP ON USS, SSO WE'RE GONNA FUCK SSHIT UP ON THEM. IT'SS NOT A MONARCHY OR WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY HAD GOING ANYMORE. IT'SS A PACK. I KILLED THE LEADER. I'M THE NEW ALPHA. THEY'RE GOING TO FOLLOW ME OR BE GUTTED.

>

You grab the small round Dersite by the throat and lift him to your face.

hS: YOU GET TO DECIDED FIRSST. PACK OR DEATH?!

>

The small round Dersite points at you and starts praising  you. Wise choice.

hS: wElcomE to thE pack, now lEt'ss go incrEassE our ssizE. >:>

Your name is Syfrah Velopo and you seem to have made a mess. None of this blood is yours. Everything should be okay. You are currently surrounded by the bodies of dersite carpacians. They tried to interfere with your quest. You interfered with their ability to breathe.

Your spear was broken in the fight and gave you a second stabbing implement, good for you. Learning new ways to stab is always helpful to such lethal hunters as yourself.
