Hamo woke up. He was on a weird smelling bed, in a wooden house with big windows. The room was filled with smell of steamed ham, fire sounds could be heard from afar. Hamo looked at the side of the bed and saw a man with a long neck, sitting on a chair, doing something with Hamo's phone. 

Hey!- Hamo shouted at the man. The guy quickly ran outside the house, leaving Hamo's phone on the chair. Hamo quickly took the phone and quickly realized both the battery and the SIM card were gone. It was the middle of the night, he looked outside, but couldn't really see anything, it was so dark. He was sure he was in some kind of a forest, probably in some village, he was seeing a campfire in the distance, where 3 or 4 long necked people were cooking some meat, he was starving, looking blindly at the campfire, he was so hungry he wasn't even surprised to see that these people have long necks just like him... Then the door opened and master Mohio entered the room. Hamo looked at him in confusion.

-Mr Mohio, where are we? 
-Come with me, Hamo Brown, I'll introduce someone to you.-Mohio said, ignited a torch, and lead Hamo through the dark to a half wooden, half rock fortress-looking, yet not nearly as big as a fortress building, all decorated with torches and woodcuts in the wooden parts. Hamo was amazed by the details, the inside of the building looked so perfectly that it almost looked unnatural. Then they entered a room, the most beautiful of them all. A weird man approached them, he had a bandage on his long neck, burns on the right half of his face,  many scars and long, dark hair.

-Mono, Hamo Brown has arrived.-Mohio said
-I see, welcome, son of Dion.-The man looked at Hamo
-Greetings. Um, I have some questions.-Hamo said
-Haha, I bet, I'm listening
-So what even is this place? And who are you? And why do you all have long necks? And...
-We call this place "Neckhome 2", my name is Mono Adamant, I found all people that live here and gathered them here after the fall of the first Neckhome.
-Neckhome?
-The place where all long necked people were hidden from the outside world and short necked people by international goverments to avoid a race war, I'm pretty sure you guys call it "area 51", an evil man betrayed us and...
-AREA 51?- Hamo was surprised to hear that this is what actually is in the infamous USA base.-Can we go there?
-Sadly, we can't. The Neckhome is destroyed, but there is still hope that someday, we'll be able to rebuild it, that's why we need you. Only you can save us.
-But how can I...-Hamo couldn't even finish the sentance
-The short neck boy can help, but you'll need an experienced long neck warrior to protect you... hmm... who would be the best for you, maybe Ray, maybe Caster...

-What's all that noise?- A long necked girl entered the room, she had a dressing-gown on and even though she was shorter than Hamo she looked more mature than him.
-Mana, I'm doin' business stuff here!- Mono answered with anger in his voice.
-In the middle of the night? Who's this?
-Our guest, Hamo Brown, none of your business, sis!
-And what are you talking about? I want to know since you've woken me up already!- Mana asked her brother.
-I'm trying to decide which of our men should be his protector, what do you think? Maybe Artur or Xero...

Mana approached Hamo to take a closer look at him and Hamo couldn't say a word. Her darker skin tone, black, wavy hair, white freckles and green eyes were the 4 most beautiful things he has ever seen.
-Maybe I could be his protector?- Mana asked her brother, much to Hamo's delight
-You? You can't even use the ice breath! You...
-Hey, I can take care of myself! Don't worry so much about me!
-But...
-If you won't let me be his protector I'll tell everyone you're sexist and you think I won't stand the challenge because I'm a women.

Mono was having a dilema, after a while he finally spoke.

-Alright, fine, I'll let you go
-Yes!
-But only after the Tamarana Ritual, where we'll make sure that he's actually the son of Dion.
-Okay, I can wait.- Mana says and smiles at Hamo, Hamo smiles back and blushes.
-Mohio, could you please take Hamo to his yurt?- Mono says to the old neckmaster.

Mohio nodded and guided Hamo to his yurt, it was very big for a yurt.

When Hamo entered the yurt, Carlos was in a bed, but wasn't asleep, Hamo sat on the diffrent bed and told Carlos everything Mono told him. They were talking all night until they both fell asleep.
