124 Diverse Alley - 02 (1/2)

The moment Faust enters the curtain, his emotions started overflowing as he is struck in awe. A huge creature covered in fur is in front of him.

”Oh, new customers!” The fur started talking by itself.

”What the HELL?” A fur is talking to me.

”Who you calling a fur?” The dark shape in fur responded.

”I'm not calling you anything.” Neith's voice is heard from within the fur.

Faust did not say anything for a brief moment. ”Ok? Auntie? Did you get eaten by the fur or is there a portal inside?” Faust cupped his hands in front of his mouth and as he yells.

”What are you saying? Faust? Hello?” Faust hears Neith again, and this time, he realizes the voice is coming from behind the fur.

As Faust tries to go around the fur, the fur slowly starts moving. Faust sees Neith, and walks towards her. She is under the street light which was suspended from the roof, as Faust walks close to her, he notices the fur is of orange colour. And it is a fur coat worn by a tall and huge man.

This man from behind, in his fur coat without a ray of light, looks like a huge creature full of fur, ”You know this kid?” The huge man asks Neith. His voice is one of those extremely deep voice that is buried in the roots of your brain once you hear them. There's no way you will ever forget his voice.

”Of course, he is with me.”

”Auntie? Here you are. I was worried. This place is so dark by the way.” Faust says as he gets near Neith.

”This is built underground. The roof above us is a city with roads.” The tall man assists Faust, describing the place.

”Ok, Bang! I will see you next time.” Neith does not speak anything else and decides to move on with her business.

Bang pauses while looking at her and Faust before eventually saying. ”It's ok, You have my code, right? Hit me up sometime.” I would like all of us to meet and hang out once again.” Bang says and sends off her off unwillingly. He wanted to stay and have a chat with her for some more time, but seems like Neith decided not to talk to him in front of Faust. Understanding what's in her mind, Bang sends her off in her way.

”Woe auntie, you know many people here as well.” Faust wants to ask her about Bang. But he doesn't want to be rude as to checking up on her. For which he decides to bring him up in a casual way.

”Of course, don't you know what I used to do.”

”So is he your friend or?” Faust asks cautiously.

”He is someone I know from the past. Anyway, be careful to cover your nose. We're entering the wild market.” Neith takes out a tissue, covering her mouth and passes a tissue towards Faust.

”Oh, what do you mean by wild market.” As Faust asks, he sees a purple smoke in front of him. He goes on to cover his nose and mouth with a tissue.
