Lu
Late afternoon in an indoor rock garden full of awakened butterflies. Lu is is seated, the hypnotic pattern of the butterflies is calming but also distracting. Lu struggles to keep his mind focused. He hears the sound of rocks moving. It is a constant sound. He knows this sound and knows what is coming. He looks up and through a cloud of butterflies slithers a large snake body with the head of a woman.
Lu has met Zhu Lian three times. Once when he was a small child, once when he was sent on his first mission and once when... no Lu can't think about it
Zhu Lian slithers over to Lu. "Little brother. Thank you for coming." She says in perfect English. Nagas are known for their linguistic abilities. It is said Zhu Lian speaks 14 different languages.
Wyvern
In her shop. Electronic equipment buzzing. A halogen light heats the cold room. It annoyingly flickers on and off in long intervals. Her face is aglow with the light of three screens on simultaneously. The deck is in front of her. It reeks of Creepy Decker. Not in a physical way but a psychic way. Wyvern is looking at it. It is covered in sharpie graffiti making this thing look cheap. But she knows it hides secrets. A search program, a few years old but reliable, is running through the deck. Green text cascades down the screens. Down. Down. Down. Forever cascading. Then boop! The text freezes. A file pops up. Text and a single image.

Included in the message is an image. The image is low res. There are three people in the image. In the middle is Creepy Decker (was his handle Faux Rabbit?) On the side are two women smiling. It is hard to make out their faces because the pic has scribbles all over it with words like fraggin' fraggers gon' get it! and hand drawn cartoon knives stabbing the two women.
Wyvern pulls up some image enhancement software and enlarges the image. The algorithm does a good job of sharpening it up. Not great but good enough. Recognition registers with Wyvern. The two women are Peaches and Nyx.
Peaches and Nyx
In The Dive. Music is thumping. Synthahol is free flowing. The bartender, a young well proportioned man in a tight t-shirt is pouring. Peaches and Nyx don't know his name. But they call him Harry because he has a scar on his forehead. (1.)
Nyx and Peaches' fixer Davey Fraggin' Johnson is here. He wanted to talk to the two women. Davey is scum. He is slicker than a toad. His eyes are even a bit toad like. They bulge every time he takes a drink.
"So I says to the troll. You don't have to pay me. Just bust up my ex-wife's house and we will call it even. And ya know what? The fraggin' troll said no!" He grimaces. "I was bein' nice and this is what I get." He take a drink and his eyes bulge. "So I need you to teach 'im a lesson. He is right around the corner from here in his grocery store. Kill him or not I don't care. Just make him feel pain from Davey."Checkmate
"Why did you come back here to this place of memories?" Checkmate thinks to himself.

(1.) The Harry Potter series had a real resurgence after the awakening. It has been rebooted over twenty times. The last rendition had Harry Potter on Mars. "Why did you come back here to this place of memories?" Checkmate thinks to himself.

Robago where is Checkmate? Who called him so he came here?
