Seeker Stetson's story about meeting Lina, the Lunatic fighter.
That year I found the trail of raiders, who robbed survivors not far from our base. I was about to get into their lair when a knife was pressed to my throat.
— Look at me, — said a hoarse female voice.
I slowly turned around and saw a tall girl in Lunatic clothing. Her eyes scoured across my face.
— Who are you?
— A traveler, — I lied.
— Yeah, right, — she sneered, continuing to look at me. — And why are you getting to get to those guys? Are you with them?
— I'm against them.
The Lunatic laughed — loudly, completely uncovering my hiding spot — and removed the knife:
— You're late, no survivors there. If you're not afraid of wetting your pants — climb in and see for yourself.
— Did you kill everyone? — I asked carefully. The Lunatic was still feeling the battle rush.
— A family affair,— the mouth of the Lunatic stretched into a smile, but she no longer looked at me, instead studying the brown blade.
— These freaks killed my family right after crossout. All of them. Just because I looked their leader in the eye. The fat freak was proud to have frightened a five-year-old. Smelly rotten freak! Well, — the Lunatic wiped the blade and put it behind her back, — now he can frighten his guts!
— How did you survive? — I knew what she was gonna say. The Lunatic hesitated, as if afraid to leave, she couldn't believe that her revenge had come true.
— Pete's guys took me. They cared for me, taught me to stand up for myself. This was my revenge, so I came alone, — it seemed as if she came to her senses and stepped back. — And this is what happens to everyone who touches the Lunatics. A hundred will come to avenge one of us, — she said, looking as though through me.
The Lunatic left, and I snuck into the raiders' lair. What I saw couldn't be called anything but a bloodbath. Next to the leader there was a sweeping inscription. Several of the same decorated the walls around the lair.
One word.
“Lina”.
When some time later I heard about Lina from the Lunatics, I immediately remembered everything.
