Main Story - During the Great Galactic War between the USA planetary system and the Russia and China planetary systems. The Wuxi evacuation fleet was transporting civilians from the outer planet rings towards the inner ring. Due to a nearby conflict, the evacuation fleet had to change course and detour, passing by several rim planets. As the fleet passes by the rim planet of Nova Heximus, a battles abruptly ensues between the West Menaron faction and Lacey pirates (both of which are factions of independent factions of Nova Heximus), and several ships in the Wuxi evacuation fleet was shot down.
During the chaos, the civilians aboard the ships used the escape pods and ejected themselves out. Several escape pods were "lucky" enough to crash land on Nova Heximus, while others were destroyed or lost in space.
Factions in Nova Heximus:
- Haora (Colonialist faction) - a pro-government faction that emphasises on collaborative planet-building initiatives whilst depending on existing intergalactic governments, such as USA, China, Russia, Japan, Korea, and UAE, for funding, investments and economic support. Haora is currently allied with the Sagogo tribes.
- West Menaron (Colonialist faction) - an anti-government faction that emphasises on independent planet-building initiatives which rejects any form of intervention from existing intergalactic governments. This faction has been known to employ brutal political and military tactics to discourage intergalactic government bodies from colonising or setting up assets in Nova Heximus.
- Sagogo federation - a federation of peaceful and religious tribes that emphasises on collaborative planet-building and mutual national respect. The collective of tribes worship the Goddess of the Green, which is a deity known to many local tribes for Her blessings and protection. The Sagogo federation is currently allied with Haora.
- Lavago nomads - nomadic, war-like tribes that emphasises on the way of the hunters and glory in battle. These nomads would journey from the wild Southern Lands to raid and pillage colonial factions in the region.
- Dorabe tribes - cannibalistic and barbaric tribes.
- Lacey pirates- a collective of space pirates from various backgrounds and planetary systems, who settled in Nova Heximus and conducted raids on ships that passes by the planet.
Nations and Regions:
- Republic of Creboullie - a republic with a huge landmass (predominantly forested region), collectively governed by Haora and the Sagogo federation. Home to the Great Temple of the Goddess of the Green.
Many years ago, West Menaron waged a brutal war against Haora and the Sagogo federation in the region. Before the truce to this war, West Menaron ceased the northern sub-region and the eastern sub-region of Creboullie.
During the war, Haora and Sagogo forces had to abandon the outer lands and retreat to the capital cities. As a result, the Lacey pirate faction took the opportunity to cease the southern sub-region and the northeast sub-region of Creboullie.
Many months later, the cannibalistic Dorabe tribes swarmed from the east. They attacked the West Menaron colonists in east Creboullie, and the Lacey pirates in northeast Creboullie. The Dorabe tribes were successful in their bloody attacks, and they have been terrorising the east and northeast regions of Creboullie ever since.
- Principality of Ithni - a principality with a small landmass (desert region), located south of Creboullie. At present, the principality is wholly governed by the West Menaron colonialist faction. The headquarters of the previous Prime Councillor, Prime Councillor Lady Gemma Wells, and the current Prime Councillor, Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells, are located here.
- Enus Republic - a republic with a medium landmass (long landmass with mountainous desert regions), collectively governed by Haora and the Sagogo federation.
Years ago, the Haora and Sagogo alliance decisively won a recent war against West Menaron, and managed to split and force the West Menaron invaders to retreat to the mountain caves in the southern borderlands of Enus, as well as the uninhabitable deserts in the northern borderlands of Enus.
- Peoples' Republic of Freepaw - a republic with a large landmass (thick forest regions), collectively governed by Haora and the Sagogo federation.
- Strogona - a huge landmass (forest regions), predominantly controlled by the Lacey pirates. The Dorabe cannibals also roam this region. In light of the constant chaos, several local tribes have pledged their allegiance to the Sagogo federation, and are fervently defending their lands and lives from the foreign invaders.
- Long Purple desert - a huge, wild landmass (desert region), where the Lacey pirates, West Menaron colonialists, and the Dorabe cannibals are fighting for supremacy. In light of the constant chaos, several local tribes have pledged their allegiance to the Sagogo federation, and are fervently defending their lands and lives from the foreign invaders.
- Kingdom of Trebo - a small landmass (forest region), located east of the Long Purple desert. Governed by an independent colonial faction of Trebo, where its leader declared a kingship a few years ago. Haora and West Menaron colonial factions are currently doing political manoeuvres to get the Kingdom of Trebo government to sway into their sphere of influence. It seems that the Trebo government is leaning towards Haora.
Years ago, Dorabe cannibal tribes from the Long Purple desert attacked the Kingdom of Trebo and ceased the northern regions of the kingdom.
One of the evacuation ships of the Wuxi fleet crash-landed in this region.
CHARACTERS
Sauye Kan (Place of birth: Intergalactic System of the Chinese Peoples' Republic) worked as an industrial engineer. Both his parents worked in the military, and he was trained to be an engineer in military school. He was known for being a brat in his school and platoon. Having said that, he had a decent career in the military, and even got married and had a family. After going on several more missions and witnessing lots of violence, Sauye grew tired and weary of the military and resigned. He decided to branch out his engineering career into the industrial sector. After raising up his biological daughter, Sherlin Kan, and his adoptive daughter, Shamei Kan, Sauye and his wife had a fall out and they separated.
Sherlin Kan (Place of birth: Intergalactic System of the Chinese Peoples' Republic) is the only biological daughter of Sauye Kan. During her childhood, she worked with her father in the industrial sector. Whilst her father was passionate about his work, she usually felt bored. One day, she stumbled upon her father's old military gears, badges and photographs, and asked him about them. Sauye shares his life story in the military to Sherlin, where her passion and interest was ignited. As Sherlin grew up, she signed up to train in the military as part of the marines. She would then build a career in the military, despite her father's attempts to discourage her from doing so.
Shamei Kan (Place of birth: Cambodia, Earth) is the adoptive daughter of Sauye Kan, and adoptive sister of Sherlin Kan. She was an orphan, originally from Cambodia. She had a special gift of being immune to psychic interferences. During her childhood, a civil war broke out in the nation, driving many people to seek refuge in the dense rainforests. At the time, a young Sauye Kan was undertaking a peace-keeping mission in Cambodia, and there, he met Shamei. Sauye decided to take her to safety, and eventually decided to adopt her as a daughter and bring her into his home in the Chinese intergalactic republic. She was then introduced to her new sister, Sherlin Kan, and they grew up together. Whilst her sister, Sherlin, built a career in the military, Shamei studied hard and built a career in aromatherapy. Her father, Sauye, was proud of her for picking up a civilian's career.
Game Story - During the Great Galactic War, Sauye Kan and his two daughters, Sherlin Kan and Shamei Kan, were aboard the Wuxi evacuation ship to escape the outer planet ring. They were also escaping the planet alongside Sauye's ex-wife (i.e., Sherlin's biological mother; Shamei's adoptive mother, whom the two daughters still cared for, despite their parents being separated), and Sauye's brother (i.e., Sherlin's uncle).
When the Wuxi evacuation ship was caught up in a battle between the West Menaron and Lacey pirates (to which the Lacey pirates boarded the Wuxi ship). Both Sauye's ex-wife and brother were separated from the rest of the family. Sauye, Sherlin and Shamei rushed into the escape pods and ejected from the Wuxi ship. As a result, they crash landed in the rim planet, Nova Heximus.
According to their web communicative devices, Sauye's ex-wife seems to have been taken prisoner by the West Menaron colonialists, and Sauye's brother seems to have been taken prisoner by the Lacey pirates.
Several days after they crash landed and built a house, their web communicative devices revealed that a functioning Wuxi ship had crashed in the outskirts of the Kingdom of Trebo. And so, they plan to journey east to the Kingdom of Trebo, activate the Wuxi ship and escape the brutal planet of Nova Heximus.
Kan Farmhouse - Bella Ward, Hokojin Buraku and Jennifer "Jen" Sedloff
On one stormy night, Bella Ward sent out a public distress call via the web communicative device, whilst being chased by a group of Lacey pirates (to which Hokojin Buraku and Jennifer "Jen" Sedloff were apart of). Sauye recognised Bella as one of the passengers aboard the Wuxi evacuation fleet. On one occasion, several years ago, Sauye had worked with Bella during an inter-organisation engineering education program (where Sauye was giving a tutorial session to a group of engineering students, and Bella was one of the students). So, Sauye, Sherlin and Shamei decided to answer Bella's distress call and signalled her to approach the Kan Farmhouse.
The group of Lacey pirates engaged the Kan family (with Bella behind them) at the front porch of the Kan farmhouse. Sauye held a shovel, and Sherlin held an axe. Guns were not very effective in close spaces, and it is difficult to shoot in the open field due to the rain and darkness. Two of the pirates were killed, one fled and two were knocked unconscious. Those two were Hokojin Buraku and Jen Sedloff. The Kan family decided to imprison and eventually recruit Hokojin Buraku and Jen Sedloff for their cause.
Bella Ward (Place of birth: Principality of Ithni, Nova Heximus) was born a bastard daughter of Prime Councillor Lady Gemma Wells, the former Prime Councillor of the West Menaron colonial faction. (Note: Lady Gemma Wells had many lovers during her time) When Bella was an infant, she was flown out of Nova Heximus to one of the outer ring planets, where the Wells family provided some funds for her upbringing to live a life, separate from the West Menaron faction. The reason for this is because bastard children usually cause problems for the West Menaron councillorship, and the wise move would be to either kill them or ship them away.
Whilst an infant, Bella was sickly. However, Bella grew up, a beautiful girl with a normal life in the outer ring planetary system, where she built a career in research for structural engineering (Note: 'Research' is related to theories and experiments, not actual engineering labour work). During the Wuxi evacuation ship attack, Bella's escape pod spiralled down towards Nova Heximus (her birth planet). As her escape pod crashed horribly, loose shards of metal destroyed her left leg and she fell unconscious from the intense pain. When she woke up, she realises that she was rescued by a group of survivors from the Wuxi fleet. Her left leg had to be removed as it was causing terribly profuse bleeding. One of the survivors installed a wooden leg for her. A few days later, the group of survivors were attacked by several groups of Lacey pirates. Bella managed to escape the pirate attack and has been on the run since.
Hokojin Buraku (Place of birth: Principality of Ithni, Nova Heximus) had a career as a military officer for the Principality of Ithni (governed by West Menaron). Due to wars between West Menaron and the Haora-Sagogo alliance, her annual salary as a military officer has been unsatisfactory for her. Thus, she left her career as a military officer and decided to offer up her military skills to a higher bidder - groups and guilds of the Lacey pirates. There, she met and worked closely with a pirate named Joko, a very intelligent pirate group leader. Joko assigned Buraku as his right-hand, due to her tough appearance and skills in gunfights. During her piracy work with Joko, she was able to keep large amount of the bounties and loots (mainly due to Joko's intellect in negotiation and deal-making), and she was able to afford a better living standard than what her life in West Menaron offered. One day, Joko was shot dead in a pirate gang dispute. Buraku's pirate group was leaderless, and she had to assume the leadership position, being the right hand. Over time, Buraku's pirate group grew poorer as they no longer possess Joko's skillset. Until one day, word of mouth amongst the Lacey pirates that a certain bastard sister of Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells (i.e., Bella Ward) had crash landed on Nova Heximus, and this bastard sister would be a valuable asset to mock the councillorship of West Menaron. And so, Buraku leads her pirate group on to find and capture Bella Ward.
[Buraku's pirate group consists of a rebel girl who is good at mechanics (Jennifer "Jen" Sedloff); an annoying yet decently smart dork; a coward girl; and a decent, generic pirate fighter dude. During fight with Kan family, dork and fighter dude killed, and coward girl fled.]
Jennifer "Jen" Sedloff (Place of birth: West Menaron colony (Edhenville) in Creboullie, Nova Heximus) grew up in a relatively poor family background, working as a car tuner during her teenage years. She was naturally rebellious towards the government authority of West Menaron. As she grew up, she left her home in the West Menaron colony (in Creboullie) and joined the Lacey pirates, as she believed the Lacey pirates had more freedom to do whatever they wanted, compared to West Menaron colonialists who preached about freedom from governments but impose authority onto others. She met and worked with a pirate named Joko. At one point, Joko sympathised with Jen about her quest to seek true freedom. But over time, Jen felt that Joko was gradually leaning his focus towards gaining wealth from loot. Jen partly blames some of this on Buraku's influence on Joko, as his right-hand (because Buraku sought after wealth quite heavily). One day, Joko was shot dead in a pirate gang dispute. Having no where else to go, she reluctantly follows the pirate group, that is now being led by the late Joko's right hand, Hokojin Buraku.
Recruitment:
Bella Ward wants to leave Nova Heximus and continue her life in the Chinese Intergalactic system. But, she hopes to meet either her sister, mother and father before leaving.
Hokojin Buraku was convinced to want to leave Nova Heximus. She is at a late stage of her life (old), and she would like to retire in a more gentler planet, without having to scrape for money, as she has done all her life in Nova Heximus.
Jen Sedloff wishes to just tag along with the Kan family, and wants to be dropped off at the Lacey pirates colony in Creboullie (i.e., Betrayers' Pond), where she was hoping to find another pirate group to join.
Wuxi - Travelling to south Creboullie
The Kan family and the 3 new recruits (Bella Ward, Hokojin Buraku, Jen Sedloff) now calls themselves the Wuxi faction.
They travelled south of Creboullie, hoping to set up a guild, close by a Haora town, to recruit and train to attack the Lacey pirates colony in Creboullie (i.e., Betrayers' Pond) that blocks the main highway.
As Jen Sedloff was about to part ways with the group and head into Betrayers' Pond herself, a passer-by alerted that the pirates are currently enacting martial law and are brutally attacking passer-bys and those who wishes to enter Betrayers' Pond. Thus, Jen Sedloff decided to stay with the group until things calm down.
The Wuxi faction decided to set up Xi Hai An Guild along the southern beach of Creboullie.
Hamdulla Lan - William Quenya
Hamdulla Lan, a young daughter of a local butcher in Creboullie, was a typical, fun-loving girl. She had dreams of owning a beach house, living by the ocean.
As her family was poor, she got herself involved with a pirate gang, led by a tall, thin and decently smart tactician named Matthew. She offered her body for sex with the pirates in exchange for money, as a second source of income. But, when Matthew delayed the payments, she decided to steal back her salary from him. This caused Matthew and his pirate gang to track and kill her.
Members of this pirate gang:->
- Matthew - tall, thin, decently smart tactician
- William Quenya - tough right hand man, born to a native father and colonist mother, part of the pirate knights (an elite force of pirate fighters)
- an Asian dude who claims to be chef, but can't cook and talks and curses too much
- a smoke addicted lady who dresses in fur cloths and scarf. Her clothes smell like smoke.
Upon tracking Hamdulla down along the beach close to the Xi Hai An Guild, the pirates made chase. They caught her, stripped her naked, raped and shot her several times. As she slowly drew her final breaths by the beach, she looked on towards the ocean, thinking about her life and her dreams, feeling both regret and contentment.
After having their way with Hamdulla, Matthew's pirate gang set their sights onto the Xi Hai An Guild, hoping to raid the place.
During their attack on Xi Hai An Guild, all the pirates were killed, except William Quenya.
William Quenya was imprisoned.
Sherlin Kan read through the journal of Hamdulla Lan and gave her a proper burial by the beach.
As Sauye Kan spoke with William Quenya in his cell, Sauye is upset that William would cheat, kill and rape an innocent person, like Hamdulla. But, William stated that that was the way of the pirates and the brutal reality of Nova Heximus.
Seeing that he is a skilled gunfighter, Sauye Kan attempts to recruit William Quenya to the Wuxi faction, despite his background as a pirate.
William Quenya (Place of birth: Lacey pirate colony in Creboullie (Betrayers' Pond), Nova Heximus) was trained to be a Pirate Knight all his life. Pirate Knights are an elite force of pirate fighters. He lives to offer his skill and talents to the highest bidder, and does not care who his boss is, unless he gets paid. To him, most things in his life are transactional and temporary.
Recruitment; William and Jen became lovers:
After Sauye spent a long time speaking with William and sharing photographs of life in the intergalactic system, William's interest is piqued. He was curious on what life would be like outside of Nova Heximus. William had a look around Xi Hai An Guild. He noted that the faction was mostly women (Sauye being the only male). He feels that the buildings in Xi Hai An Guild is nice and well-kept. He comments that he can offer up his skills to protect the faction. After a while, William was allowed to live amongst the other Wuxi faction members. He was quite reserved for a while, before he subtlely tried to hit on some of the girls (Bella, Shamei, Sherlin - mostly Bella and Shamei, but only once for Sherlin because of her tough persona). Finally, he decided to hit on Jen, and Jen reciprocated. So they became lovers.
Over time, William's perspective in life slowly change. He sees his life with the Wuxi faction as a long term thing. He feels a certain disdain about his life as a pirate in Creboullie. There was chemistry in his deep talks with Jen, and he felt like he wants to protect her and treasure her for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile for Jen, Jen initially wanted to go back to the Lacey pirates faction. After meeting with William and believing in a new life outside of Nova Heximus, everything about Lacey pirates and Nova Heximus suddenly just sucks.
So now, both Jen and William are long term members of Wuxi faction, with the goal of escaping Nova Heximus.
Lavago nomad attack; Berro Irbago & her friend, Rolego
A Lavago nomadic group of about eight people attacked Xi Hai An Guild. All the Lavago natives died or fled, except Berro Irbago, the hunter of the group.
Only 2 notable characters from that group are: Berro Irbago and Rolego
Berro Irbago and Rolego were childhood friends. Rolego was physically small, so she was bullied by her peers a lot. Berro Irbago was physically fitter, so she retaliates against other bulllies in Rolego's stead, protecting her. Over time, Berro and Rolego became best friends. They spent most of their time with only each other. They did lots of hunting activities together - Berro would hunt animals and Rolego would butcher them for cooking. On one occasion, Berro and Rolego had a deeptalk while stargazing, hoping to fly into the sky into the stars together.
However, during the attack on Xi Hai An Guild, Rolego was killed. Berro was captured and imprisoned.
After Sauye and Shamei talked to Berro for a while and let her out, Berro was informed that her best friend, Rolego, had died. This caused her to cry and mourn for days. She held Rolego's totem close to her heart, remembering all the times she spent with her friend. Berro does not feel like going back to her tribe in the southern lands to start over, given that most of her nomad group had died.
Recruitment: Berro Irbago
The Wuxi faction recognises Berro's skill as a hunter, during her fight. So, they try to recruit her for their cause.
Sauye spoke to Berro about life in the intergalactic system (i.e., life in the sky and into the stars). Over time, Berro hopes to bring Rolego (Rolego's embodiment inside her totem) to the intergalactic system, as they had promised, and agrees to join the Wuxi faction on their journey to escape Nova Heximus on the evac ship.
A meeting with Lady Fauna Wells; Moving East
The pirates in Betrayers' Pond (Lacey pirate colony in Creboullie) are formidable.
One day, Lady Fauna Wells contact Wuxi faction, offering a peace talk. Sauya attended it in person and meets Lady Fauna's representative. Lady Fauna Wells attended on-screen. The rest of the Wuxi faction attends on-screen.
During the peace talk, Sauya and Fauna struck an agreement, where the West Menaron colonial forces will siege Betrayers' Pond and allow Wuxi faction to pass by the area. In exchange, the Wuxi faction would:
1. Not intervene in the war in Creboullie.
2. Assist the West Menaron colonial forces in Edhenville town (eastern Creboullie) to deal with the Dorabe cannibal tribe there. Once the Dorabe tribe is dealt with, the Wuxi faction can pass into Enus.
3. Offer regular tribute to the Edhenville, the West Menaron colonial town.
Sherlin Kan asks about her mother, held captive by West Menaron. Lady Fauna says that she knows no such person, and if Sherlin's mother (Sauye's ex-wife) was in fact captured by West Menaron groups, there are too many groups to track. And if they do find them, there would be a fight - a fight that is unwarranted. Besides, Nova Heximus is a harsh planet, Sherlin's mother could be dead, enslaved, or brain-washed. Lady Fauna encourages Sherlin to give up, as the Wuxi faction has no leverage at this time.
Bella Ward speaks with Lady Fauna. Lady Fauna greets her bastard sister, and tell her to stay hidden or leave the planet entirely. Lady Fauna Wells and the former Lady Gemma Wells do not wish to have her presence in West Menaron. And they do not know where Bella's father is.
Wuxi faction decides to take up the offer.
Before the Wuxi faction leaves Xi Hai An Guild, William and Jen got married!! Woohoo!!
Jen's NEW NAME is now Jennifer "Jen" Quenya.
William jokingly said that they got married at the ocean resort (since Xi Hai An Guild is like a beach house).
Moving east, the Wuxi faction set up Edhenville Guild, beside Edhenville town (West Menaron colony). After some preparation, they attacked the Dorabe settlement in the area. (It was fun for me to play, because of the map). Then, they were allowed by the authorities of Edhenville (West Menaron) to pass into Enus, and they tracked the desert towards the north, towards the northeast border of Creboullie and Freepaw.
Northeast border of Creboullie and Freepaw - Aksu Guild
The Lacey pirates and Dorabe cannibals have a presence in the northeast border region of Creboullie and Freepaw. The Peoples' Republic of Freepaw government (governed by Haora and Sagogo) closed the border and do not allow passage, given the threats in the area.
Wuxi faction sets up Aksu Guild in the border region, and trades with the Freepaw border town. Wuxi aims to upgrade weapons & equipment, and defeat the pirate and cannibal threats in the region.
Extended Family of Bella Ward - During this time, Bella's extended family (2 uncles, 1 aunt) visited Aksu Guild, as part of the trade convoys for West Menaron. These family members are loyal to Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells. They behaved indifferently towards Bella, given that she was the bastard sister of Lady Fauna Wells; they expressed mild relief and agreement that Bella (and the rest of Wuxi faction) is on a journey to leave Nova Heximus, and chose not to interfere with West Menaron affairs.
NOTE - THIS SECTION MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE, IF BELLA MEETS THESE FAMILY MEMBERS AGAIN
Northeast border of Creboullie and Freepaw - Aksu Guild (continued); Bella Ward meets Uncle Harrison "The Outlaw", another extended family.
Wuxi faction attacks and destroys the Dorabe cannibals' base in the region.
Wuxi faction attacks and destroys the Lacey pirates' base in the region. During this time, Uncle Harrison "The Outlaw" (who is another extended family member of Bella) made contact with Bella and the Wuxi faction, via online communication device. He tells Bella that he intends to kidnap her and use her as a bargaining chip against Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells (West Menaron), and he did not elaborate further about himself and his past. Right before the battle, Uncle Harrison "The Outlaw" threatens the Wuxi faction in-person, and shoots at them (note: Uncle Harrison "The Outlaw" used a sniper rifle during this gunfight). Hokojin Buraku shoots back and her bullet hits him, causing him to take cover. As the Wuxi faction wins the brutal gunfight, Uncle Harrison "The Outlaw" flees the area.
Onward to Strogona; the Strogona highway; establish Qinghuguan
With the threats of Lacey pirates and Dorabe cannibals neutralised, the Peoples' Republic of Freepaw government (governed by Haora and Sagogo) allows Wuxi faction across their borders. Wuxi faction passes through Freepaw and Enus, and arrives at Strogona (a super-region controlled by the Lacey pirates).
The Strogona highway is a long, huge highway that connects the northwest and southeast regions of Strogona. The Lacey pirates have a settlement called Trout Town, which controls the passage of the highway. Also, the capital of Strogona (another large settlement), situated on hilly valleys, overlooks the highway and can bombard any intruders that attempt to cross it.
Wuxi faction establishes Qinghuguan, close by a strategic position, near a large river and a huge lake.
Wuxi faction attacks and destroys Trout Town - BEFORE
Alla Shedd, cousin of Bella Ward and daughter of Uncle Harrison "The Outlaw" (real name: Harrison Shedd), connects with Bella and the Wuxi faction via online communication device. She reveals that:
1. She is currently part of the Lacey pirates (alongside her father, Harrison Shedd)
2. She is currently in Trout Town
3. Her family (her father and herself) is in a bitter dispute with Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells (as well as those who are loyal to Lady Fauna Wells - i.e., the 2 uncles and 1 aunt). NOTE - MAY CHANGE IN FUTURE
4. Alla Shedd and Harrison "The Outlaw" Shedd joined the Lacey pirates to escape Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells and the West Menaron authorities.
5. Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells had ordered for "something(?)" to be stolen from them.
6. Alla Shedd and Harrison "The Outlaw" Shedd believes that the best way to negotiate with Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells, is to kidnap Bella Ward and use her as a bargaining chip, for an exchange.
7. Alla Shedd did not elaborate further on what the "something(?)" was.
Wuxi faction attacks and destroys Trout Town - THE ATTACK AND AFTERMATH
As Wuxi faction wins the gunfight, Alla Shedd was cornered between some rocks. Bella Ward tells her to surrender, but she did not and continues to shoot at Sherlin Kan and Jen Quenya. With her handcannon pistol, Bella Ward shoots and kills Alla Shedd, her own cousin, to her dismay.
With her dying breath, Alla Shedd reveals that:
1. Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells had ordered for the kidnap of her teenage brother, Nevin Shedd (thus, also another cousin of Bella Ward).
2. Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells intends to have Nevin Shedd under West Menaron authority to secure the councillorship of the Wells family lineage.
Alla Shedd begs Bella Ward to take Nevin Shedd with her, if she encounters him, and leave Nova Heximus together. (Nevin Shedd was recently kidnapped, and he is likely being escorted by armed guards in Strogona)
1. Nevin Shedd is still a teenager with some degree of naïve innocence and big dreams
2. Alla Shedd believes that their father, Harrison "The Outlaw" Shedd, would be a destructive influence on Nevin Shedd, given his past.
3. Nevin Shedd would be locked away, if he was successfully escorted back to Prime Councillor Lady Fauna Wells in West Menaron.
Alla Shedd tells Bella Ward where her belongings are, which includes several letters for Nevin Shedd.
After Alla Shedd apologises and dies, Bella Ward felt depressed for months. Before leaving the destroyed Trout Town settlement, Bella Ward fetched the belongings and letters of Alla Shedd - which elaborates on the backstory of the Shedd family and their dealings with the Wells family and West Menaron.
NEVIN SHEDD - THE AMBUSH
In mid-spring of the next year, Wuxi faction detected that Nevin Shedd is being escorted by a single kidnapper across the area. (It is likely that Nevin's kidnappers may have been a confrontation with the Lacey pirates, and thus, the rest of the kidnappers / guards were killed)
Wuxi faction had a meeting about the situation. The Wuxi faction members agrees to help Bella Ward rescue Nevin Shedd, even though this would anger the West Menaron authorities.
As Nevin Shedd and his kidnapper pass by the area, Sherlin Kan, Sauye Kan, Bella Ward, Jen Quenya and William Quenya staged an ambush, and seized Nevin Shedd. The kidnapper drew her gun, but was shot unconscious by the group. By this time, the West Menaron authorities were notified of the incident via the kidnapper's S.O.S. device.
Nevin Shedd
