The decline of a dynasty

Welcome to Atheliv, a world where hope is lost and all that remains is to be conquered by fighting.

You are Lucrezia, a female Aristo in the Atheliv system, you are simply there to mine the bitcoin that are abundant in the system.

> You go to Shangri-La center.

The planet is close enough that even a slingshot could get you there in a reasonable amount of time, the problem is it's in the middle of no where and the signal will take a while to travel that far.

> You say "My mother died, but according to the traces of the bitcoin transfer the source is from the market."

As you sit in your office waiting for the new information, two men walk into your office with two box looking objects.

The men walk up to you and say

"We don't know who killed her, but we have a name on the source, it comes from a warehouse in the market, the owner is called Soyatomi."

You stare at the two men

"Tell me about the warehouse, how far is it, how many guards?"

"It's right at the entrance to the market.

She is unsupervised and Soyatomi sleeps in there with her brother Wernick after the death of their third brother named Pablito. "

"So someone had to kill Pablito to get to her, that's a lot of planning" you think

"So someone had to kill Pablito to get to the assassination, that's a lot of planning," you think

"A normal trader could never kill like that, kidnap those two brothers and let them tell you who it was at any cost": you think.

"This is the market, a lot of planning went into this." You say

"Then you must think that the assassins had help from someone inside the market, perhaps even inside the republic itself."

> You say "Take a new model of weapon and show it to the men "It's the last of the machine gun, they call it UZI 5.0, you had silencers fitted.

I will go with you, I want to be there when you question them."

The men turn and smile at you, you get up and head to the door.

The two men smile at you as they head out the door.

> You go to Soyatomi's shop.

You walk into the store, immediately you see a woman behind a counter looking at a smart phone. You walk over

"Hello, I am..." you say

The woman looks up from her phone and gasps

"I'm Chantelle, who are you?"

Her face is reminds you of the girl you had sex with the night before. You figure now is not the time to think about it

"I'm here to see Wernick" you say

"They have gone on a long journey, they have to take a load of weapons from a very distant city.

If you need anything just ask. "

You thank her and head to the counter. You notice the woman looking you up and down, and decides now is the time to act

"Your guards are very well trained"

> You take out the UZI and tell the two men to take it to the warehouse.

"We get many gun runners, we are a Weapons Shop after all."

> You say "I want to know where the two brothers are."

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that, I have my word."

"You have to tell me where the brothers are, to find out who killed my mother, you have to tell me what I need to know. "

The girl breaks free and kills the two men with a katana that was in the warehouse.

"I have no reason to lie to you.

I don't know who have killed your mother".

> You say "Help me find the killer and I'll pay you very well"

"You have to give me time to plan my revenge"

"I want to know who killed my mother"

The woman runs at you, but you easily dodge the attack.

> You say "You are very strong, surely you are descended from some explorer, I guessed it? But you made a big mistake, I'm not an unprepared girl. "

You swing your sword, the woman easily dodges the blows, as you are now starting to get out of balance. You realises who she is a natural killer, she's born for kill.

> You say "You are truly a natural talent as a fighter, but why don't we argue? It would be a shame to kill you."

The woman charges at you, and you easily dodge her charge.

She runs at you again with the same speed, now you are starting to get tired.

You dodge her third charge and run directly at her.

> You come up behind her and point the UZI on her head.

You pull the trigger, shooting the UZI directly on her head.

The gun explodes, and the force is enough to knock her on the ground.

> You say "You shouldn't have tried to fight me."

The woman stands up and pulls out a cam, she slaps it against the ground and a portal opens up.

> You say "Resistant and able to escape thanks to new technologies.

Chantelle then, it will be a real pleasure to hunt you down."

"I'll see you again Chantelle, I'm sure you will."

You begin to leave but the woman stops you.

"Do you know how to survive in the wild?" she asks.

> You say "So you didn't open the portal to escape, but to hide in this environment, very good ":"

"I hid a portal to a cave system, if you head North you'll find it. It's not the most comfortable of temperatures in there though, so bundle up."

> You locate the exact spot where she is and shoot her in the leg.

"Nice shot kid, now put that thing away and come over here."

You shoot her again in the leg and she falls.

> You say "Think carefully before answering: will you help me?"

"I'm thinking about it, but you aren't exactly on the up and up."

"I saved your life, you don't know what it's like without it."

"Without what? You just shot me in the legs."

"I'll give you a reason to exist.

Now let me call a healer or you'll bleed to death. "

" I won't be a sheep."

> You say "The healer is on its way, you're sending you the location of your office.

See you tomorrow in the afternoon"

"I'll be the one waiting for you, with one of my guns."

You put your pistol away and the woman follows you.

"Stop" she says when she sees the street.

> You say "Are you hurt, where do you want to go? There are targets that you cannot eliminate, accept it."

"It doesn't have to be like this, who are you?"

" No one ".

> You leave and return to your home.

"Fine"

You go away.

You come home and rest.

Your sister arrives home. You tell her what happened and she shakes her head in disgust.

"That monster, I can't believe she would be friends with such a vicious creature."

> You say "We need her"

"What?"

"We need her, she knows things that could help us against the assassin, she may even have a spy in their inner circle or maybe she's the inner circle."

> You prepare your weapons and prepare to leave for the office.

"Hey wait, are you wearing a shirt?"

"Of course."

Your sister takes your Uzi and begins to try on your medals.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"You were the best of our generation in fighting, without you now we would be lost" she says and puts the Uzi back.

"Are you trying on my medals as well as my shirt?"

"No, I'm trying to make a point" she replies and goes into her room.

> You say "Karina, take the Uzi, you'll come with you.

This thing is for mom.

We have to do it together.

Eva and Seraria are very good at getting bitcoin but in you you see the eyes of your mother Aina.

I'll take the new assault rifle prototype with me."

"What?"

"The new uzi, take it with you, if the assassin catches you with an older one they'll just blow your head off."

> You say "We must be ready for anything, where are Eva and Seraria now?"

"Outside playing, I'll get them in."

"Good, let's do it."

Your sister screams.

Run outside to see what's going on. It's your sister and a younger girl. They both look in decent shape but not completely human. Seraria has black skin, red eyes and white hair while Eva has purple skin, cat like eyes and long black hair.

"There is a very good sniper.

It doesn't shoot bullets, but capsules that make you look like a monster and weaken you.

He must be an excellent healer with great knowledge in the medical field. "

"He is a monster!" the girl screams and throws her at your sister.

Your sister falls on the ground with the black girl standing above her.

"That's what you think, little one."

> You say "Karina takes him in and calls Fremad, he can heal them."

Karina tries to get Eva and Seraria inside, but the sniper shoots Eva and Seraria in the head.

Karina drops the gun when she sees her sisters bloody head and the new monster stands up.

"What are you?!"

Aim with the Uzi at the sniper, but he is too far away and his aim sucks.

> You say "Run inside the Karina house! I'll cover you."

"Go!"

Karina run inside the house and close the door, while you fires at the sniper.

> You say "Too late, the sniper escaped."

> You say "Karina pack your things this house is no longer safe, we will buy a shelter near the market in Shangri-La."

The sniper is really far away. You doubt you could hit him with your Uzi, but you sure you can't let him get away.

> You pack your things and go.

You wake up and prepare your things, you just finished packing when Karina comes down.

"It's time to go."

"We're leaving?"

> You say "We will do it for mom and for our sisters, we will avenge their deaths."

"We have to get out of here, I'm sure you know what the sniper can do."

"...alright let's go."

> You reach the new shelter near the market.

"We will have to be careful, the sniper can easily kill us from a distance."

"Eva and Seraria are still alive! They're hurt but still alive, we have to go find them."

> You say "They are dead, accept it."

"I told you they're not dead, we have to get out of here and go get them!"

"They're gone, accept it."

You both stand there silent.

> You say "Listen to me, we have to stick together or this city will devour us."

"They're gone, that's the way it is."

"I'm not saying we give up, but we can't waste time!"

Get a call is Chantelle and she is in trouble. They're being attacked by soldiers from the new power base and she needs help.

"Let's go."

> You say "She won't be a great friend, but we can't abandon her, we need Chantelle."

You arrive in the alley in time to see Chantelle shoot one of the guards and get a shot to the head.

"Chantelle!" you scream and run over.

"It seems that this time is over ...

I found out that name ....

Soyatomi had hosted a girl named Selena and tracking her whereabouts Selena was in your area when your mother died.

In the end I was able to help you "

Chantelle smiles despite her dying.

"I have two children, the girl is called Lilith and the boy is called Shyne, promise me that you will take care of them and you will be their mother.

You managed to fight me in the warehouse so you will be able to protect them.

Lucrezia.

You are really strong as a woman.

Don't die unnecessarily. "

Chantelle dies shortly after.

> You say "We have a name.

Now you have a duty to take revenge.

For your mother, for your sisters and for Chantelle.

Karina searches the city database.

Find Chantelle's children and take them to your new refuge.

I'll go get this Selena."

"I'll come with you."

Back in the shelter you see Karina packing her things.

"Where are you going?"

"Chantelle's children are in a house owned by Wernick."

"Isn't that where we're going?"

" Of course but this time I want to do it alone, "Karina says.

> You say "From now on, we will no longer be rich girls playing games to buy loads of guns and medicines."

You arrive at the abandoned house and find this isn't the first time the owner has tried to sell it.

The mob has full control of the city and the houses are being knocked down anyway.

> You say "This is the old base of Selena's family"

You look at the house and you can see the impact it had had, bullet holes from small arms riddled the place.

"Let's go."

You walk into the house and find it empty.

> You say "They must have emptied it completely."

On the other side of the city you find Wernick's house and break in, he isn't there but his wife is. You threaten her at gunpoint and manage to get superior stuff.

> You say "Your husband and his brother helped your mother's killer.

Now you will pay for their faults."

You shoot her all the bullets from the assault rifle.

> You check if she's alive.

She is not dead, but she won't be able to call the police if you find something wrong while searching her house, she is still alive but barely.

> You take a knife and slit her throat.

Her eyes widen for a second before she dies.

You check the house, you opened all the drawers and cabinets but there was nothing there.

"She doesn't have anything."

> You go back to your sister Karina, she should have taken Chantelle's children.

You arrive at the safehouse and Karina is asleep. You sit down next to her, watching her for a second until you notice how peaceful she looks.

You lean over and kiss her forehead.

You notice that Chantelle's children are in the corner.

They are afraid and tremble.

You approach and caress them.

"She will be fine, your mother had to leave, but don't worry you will stay with us until she comes back.

Go to sleep in the bed, I'll settle for the chair. "

You pick them up and put them to bed.

You waist a few hours watching the children until Karina wakes up.

> You say "They are so beautiful, that blonde is Lilith, she has the same eyes as Chantelle.

The other one, the male, seems strong enough to be just a kid but you think he will become strong just like Chantelle.

Shyne and Lilith, you're sorry you can't tell him the truth.

For now, you told them their mother left rather than telling them she died.

The truth will have to know only when they are adults."

You look at Karina and notice she looks exhausted.

"We should continue the other business."

You head to a strange dungeon.

Your sister seems surprised, she starts running following something, but you don't understand what.

You try to chase it.

Hear a scream, she is your sister.

As soon as you arrive you see that a cyberdog is biting her in the leg.

You feel quick footsteps, grab your knife and get ready to block whatever is coming.

You see her coming and you can barely deflect her katana.

She is a beautiful woman.

Green eyes and red hair, she has a sniper rifle on her shoulders and is wearing a black dress.

She is really beautiful, but you notice that she is also very skilled.

As she tries to follow her movements with her gaze, you notice that the cyberdog is racing against you.

You can barely avoid it.

The cyberdog charges against your leg and knocks you over as the woman stuns you with the katana's tsuba.

Faint, but just before fainting you hear a voice "good light, we finally got them, go and call Natasha, I'll need help".
