The planet Hafjeran shares the same galaxy as the planets Wiis, Bromeran, Druont, as well as Fhet which is surrounded by the Fhetat. Druintes call the galaxy Soulaxar, and there are three distinct arms of the spiral. The five planets are situated within the outermost arm of the galaxy, known as Sount in the Druinte language (the central arm of Soulaxar is known as Laante, and the innermost is known as Xare). The banned regions exist just outside the Soulaxar galaxy. The distance from the planet Hafjeran to the Xx Banned regions is about two light years RET. 

Frial is unhinged. Losing his family was devastating; they had been his entire identity. He is consumed by his hatred for the woman Whadgaf. He will end her in as dramatic a fashion as she had taken away his family. He will become their righteous vengeance; lose the warmth that tempers the auburn hue of their wings to go blood red, deep and menacing, beautiful and necessary. He will drain her like a jara, then feast on her flesh to complete the secret and very dark ritual that would allow him to posses the might that Whadgaf Jiris possesses in battle. That will be his reward for besting her, becoming a perfect Hafjeris as she obviously is. 

He has stolen a lot of money and even managed to get the moniker Agent Red to stick with the public. He has bribed some workers of the transportation service that provided easy passage to most destinations in the greater universal sector, even to the banned regions because the Hafjeris are state sponsors of the safe zone. Frial is an attractive man, and he colors his wings when he is not Agent Red, and his beak is always very shiny and polished, his crazy never seeps his seams when he is in public, and he can talk anyone into anything.

Say for instance he wants to broadcast a message to a passenger ship in route to the banned regions, a ludicrous prospect for sure considering that he is not a pilot of said passenger ship and it violates the protocols of the transportation service. But Frial manages it and he even reroutes the ship because he bought the captain his very own car which is unheard of for a renter of the ship captain’s station on Hafjeran. 

This is his message:

I know you are on board Whadgaf. You must remember me? Back from the dead, Realfen as ever. You slaughtered my family. You erased history. And you bathed in our blood. Everyone, there is a disgusting murderer in your midst and she is bloodthirsty. Do not panic, Agent Red is here to soak up the mess. I hope that I can save some of you before she loses her control, but for those of you that she devours, I am here to avenge you, sweet martyr. You will not be forgotten, I will honor you. 

Whadgaf, I plan to feast on your heart and I will add your wings to my back. It will be my prize when I win our little race. But I am getting ahead of myself. 

Your ship is being rerouted to my location. When you arrive you will find two ships; one with a crew and one just big enough for its pilot. You choose, I will take the other. The rules are simple. You take your trip to the banned regions, if you get there first, I will allow you to forget what you did to my family and move on with your life. But if I win, I will be waiting there to kill you. If you run, I will explode your ship. I hope that you will not run, it would be such a waste to wipe you from existence. 

Choose wisely. I am eager to taste you Whadgaf.
