[ WP ] Saved the Princess . Killed the Dragon . Happily ever after . But before that , you have to attend a funeral . For the dragon you just killed . And you ca n't refuse since his will asked for you specifically by name .

A letter arrived. Can you believe it? An actual, physical letter, not an email, or a holo. An actual paper letter. It arrived today with my name on it and not much else. Just a plain, simple envelope with my name in black, flowing script. 
 
 It's been taunting me for hours now, the invitation to a funeral. I did n't expect them to find me so quickly. Hell I did n't expect them to find me at all. But then again, I did kill a dragon. Not just any dragon, *the* Dragon with a big fat capital D, Daichi Williams, leader of the dragons. The Dragon controlled everything in Vanokyo's criminal underbelly, No one crosses a dragon and gets away with it. Especially not me, but that's because I do n't get away with much these days. 
 
 I was settled down for fuck's sake, I had n't taken a job in years, I paid taxes ( usually ), I had a husband! He's the reason I left the trade. In the legendary words of classical lyricist Beyonce; `` If you liked it you shoulda put a ring on it'' So I did. I hung up my vibroblades, poisokane, and rifles. I stopped my old life. As one of the few assassins in Vanokyo, this made me a number of new friends and allies. My life with Bear was amazing, he made me feel that for the first time in my life I could have a legitimate purpose. Until they took him. Shortly after our honeymoon, I came home from a jog and Bear was gone, not a trace but for a small black scale, dark as night, the calling card of the dragons. 
 
 I have never been so angry, before or since. I dug up my tools, and started mowing down the dragons, bullet by bullet. 
 
 Long story short, after a few days of gruesome tortures, extortion and blackmail, I found my Bear, he was with Daichi, who by the way, was a surprisingly easy mark, just had to get the drop on him from 5 clicks away with a very, very, very big gun and some very, very, very fast bullets. 
 
 That was a few weeks ago, Bear still has no idea why he was kidnapped, or that it was me who saved him. I had planned to keep it that way, but then they found me. 
 Killing the Dragon raised a few interesting questions. How the fuck did they find me? Someone probably sold me out... that or I got careless, but I bet it was fucking Jane. Vanokyo's leading dark market weapons dealer. Jane is also my ex. Fuck Jane. Where the fuck do they get off, inviting me into `` The Circle''? What the fuck does that even mean? How did they get my name into Daichi's will? That's what the invite says at least, `` As per the last will and testament of Daichi Williams, your presence Berksun Petras, has been requested at his funeral.'' 
 
 The funeral is scheduled for next Friday, I have few options; I could convince Bear to retire early and move to the last bits of Europe that are n't radioactive pits. But that would involve giving up my life here, and my assets are n't nearly as liquid as they used to be. I could come clean to Bear about my rather dark past career, but that might get ( emotionally ) messy and I do n't look good ugly crying. 
 So really the only option is combine the two, I'll send Bear off on a holiday and let him know I have some previous business to attend to. 
 
 One thing's for certain, I'm not gon na go down without a fight.
