"...What!?"
Eugene's legs almost gave out from what he heard, "...How could that even be possible? She's a barbarian!"
"...No," the Chief let out a short sigh as he shook his head, "She was one of us."
"W… what? But how could she--"

Oh boy, here comes trouble after trouble. The Pit though, such a vibrant history, a book in and of itself, I reckon.
As always, thank you for reading.
