A Tribute to Technoblade (Not canon)
Alive (Canon)

**Numb** is the sixth episode of the 1st Season of the *GenVera's Universe* series. It uses the Neffex's song of the same name.

*Numb* combines the storylines of Ethan, keeper of the Stone of Cold Fire, which began in Defeat the Night, with the main storyline, and tells the adventure of Enderina and Gen, who despite their depressed state go in search of an artifact that could turn the tide of war against the Nether's usurpers.

## Synopsis

After Ethan and Jeff were able to defeat Kameferos, who visited Busa's bar, Clark senses the power of the artifact they used and informs the high command about it, as a result of which Enderina and Gen go in search of it.

## Plot

The video begins where Believe ended: The three Leaders of the 4 Unions, hold a meeting where they are already discussing the words Alex Clark said. Lordes determines that an artifact, the Stone of Cold Fire, has been discovered in the guy's vision. Enderina volunteers to go in search of it, and Gen joins her initiative. While the two embark on their journey, Lordes is left to monitor the territories of the Upper World and teach the new recruits.

Gen and Enderina move to Dolonwan, from where they head out on the road in search of landmarks by which the travelers could find the artifact, and with nothing extra but a few bars of gold, the heroes set off.

They walk through the forest, where Enderina ponders everything that happened to them earlier, including the battle for Argar, where many warriors died, including her dragon. Gen notices this, and begins to think of ways to cheer her up.

Having reached the mountain pass and crossed it, by evening they came out to the Kirrok Desert, where in order to cheer up his partner, Gen decided to play a game of desert racing with her. The race ended towards the next morning, with Gen losing, and as a prize for Enderina, he purchased some camping equipment to set up camp, eat and rest properly, and checked with the traders for information and corrected the direction to continue the journey.

After a day's journey, Gen and Enderina do make camp, but while Gen roasts marshmallows and Enderina sleeps off, they are attacked by the Nether Assassin, tracking them from the Kirrok Desert itself. The Assassin fires an arrow at Gen, but Gen's intuition kicks in and he hears a strange whistling sound and reflexively stops the arrow with a young tree stick. Enderina is awakened by the sound of the the flying arrow stick touching the stick and takes up a fighting stance with Gen. The Assassin, after engaging the travelers was defeated, but escaped through the Nether Portal, puzzing Gen and Enderina.

After taking turns before dawn, Gen and Enderina hid their hiking gear and continued on their way at dawn. After walking for several hours, they came to the village of Naftali, and realizing that they were on the right track, but making a detour, they continued on their way.

After a few more days of travel, they crossed the border of the Down World and emerged into the wilderness of an Enchanted forest, where they began to chat casually, recalling and discussing various stories. They came upon a clearing, where they suddenly came upon two wounded travelers, Ethan, and Luminor, whose story they had yet to learn.
