Venturing: Instagation

“Something is wrong about her." I heard from Kyro as I had turned immediately towards him. My face hardened and darkened as I had found myself growling to the red dragon. He just stared onto me, a small smile upon his face. But nothing had came out of him as his eyes locked onto me. We stand there in silence, adjacent to the road and in front of some strange looking building that had looked a bit rundown. Our attention was drawn elsewhere, instead of the building that we were next to. Staring out onto the blue skies before us where not a single cloud was there. Our thoughts gone with the wind. It was something that I had exhaled a breath to; relieving me of the sudden stress that had popped up prior to the case that we were immediately given.

'The thoughts that my Yang was conspiring for someone else.' I thought with a small growl, something that was caught by Kyro as he turned his head back towards me. “We should check out the case, Ling. See through the case that would get your mind off from the conspiracy that was looming over your mate." “Sure." I responded without hesitation, though my voice was a bit louder and forced that the red dragon flinched upon response. But nonetheless commit to what I requested him to do. Thus, opening the case envelope that he was holding. I turned towards him; just as he had pulled a white piece of paper out and began reading the contents that was inside.

However, his eyes went wide and he gaped his snout opened immediately. I stepped to the side; closer towards him and looked over the contents of the paper. I was surprise to see that 'Yang's name' was on the piece of paper: and as a list of suspects. I find myself shaking my head; frowning while Kyro folded his wings and mirrored me. For we had said nothing else to one another in that following silence. Luckily though, it was rather short because the rest of my unit had arrived later on. Zander, Natty, Ozkun and Takari all had arrived upon the agreed meeting spot. Landing upon the ground adjacent to either me or Kyro; they all folded their wings and stepped forth. Joining in onto the two dragon guards as their attention was drawn towards us. Kyro just gave the ma response nod.

“What is the occasion?" “Meaning what is the case, that Yang had given us?" Kyro corrected Zander who just gave a nod towards the red dragon, silently. Kyro lowered his eyes onto the paper that he was holding. Then raised his eyes back up towards him before giving him the summary of it. Though, everyone was a bit surprise by it however, considering their shocked faces that they had implemented upon the surfaces of their snouts. Kyro just gave a nod towards them, stating nothing more as the silence hovered above them. But I picked it up afterwards. “Now then," I said, interrupting the silence as all eyes were towards me, “We should head to the cave and hope that Yang is innocent and not conspiring with whomever was there." “Where are we heading?" Questioned Ozkun, “Cavern apparently." Kyro answered, Ozkun turned to him, a short conversation was held between the two while I and the others spread our wings and flew southward, beyond Vaster. Towards a cavern that was closest to Virkoal Forest.

Upon our landing, I was surprise to see that the cavern was not up to our expectations. For the cavern was smaller than what I had anticipated and it was a bit darker inside of there too. Staring onto the pure darkness inside, I just frowned suddenly before turning my attention towards Kyro and Natty. Both of which gave their nods towards me, before each of them started heading right in. Fading from my sights, I and the others followed right behind them. Immediately entering into the cavern's entrance as well while our attention was drawn towards the cavern walls surrounding us however. The cavern was really dull, unfortunately. Not a speck of colorful colors were about. For all the cavern's natural color was a bit grayish or navy. Hard to tell without any sort of lighting from the outside of the cavern.

We continued down the cavern's road; immediately arriving into a room that we had came across from. We entered in immediately and was welcomed to the pure mess that was waiting for us inside. I was a bit surprise into seeing four desk stick adjacently to one another like glue; where in between them was a white substance that had looked very sticky. Kyro and Zander walked up towards the desk, inspecting upon the 'glue' like substance that they had found. The rest of us turned our attention towards the rest of the room. The room was smaller than what I had suspected; but there were a lot of things here that could entertain many animals and reptiles however. From board games to games in general. “This place looks like a shelter or something." Commented Natty which me and Ozkun nodded our heads, instantly agreeing with the dragoness as her attention was turned to Kyro and Zander.

While she had started yelling at the duo, me Ozkun and Takari split from her. Walking around the room a bit in hopes of finding out more about the space that we found ourselves upon. I had came up upon a library of book shelves in front of me and on the opposing side of the entrance to the cavern's room too, my attention was drawn towards the spines of the books. Staring onto the white glittery gold letters that were imprinted upon each of the hard covers. I ran a paw upon each of the letters in silence, then raised my paw high onto my face. Staring back onto the glitter that was imprinted upon the affected paw. 'Everything looks normal.' I thought silently, a physically nod came from my own head. But silence was looming over me as I continued adjacently to the bookshelf in silence, spying onto the spines of the book. Till something had caught my eye.

There, adjacent to me, was a series of rainbow of buttons; from red to purple apparently. I had found myself staring onto it in silence, shortly before calling out towards Kyro and Natty as the two stepped away from Zander and walked up towards me. Upon their words, I raised a paw and pointed onto the rainbow series of buttons in front of us. Kyro and Natty glanced onto the rainbow of buttons; then towards one another and smiled briefly before stepping up to it. For while they had 'worked' on that, however, I had turned my attention back towards the rest of the room itself. However, I did not had to wait that long. For something pings in the silence of the atmosphere and forced all heads to turned immediately towards the sourced of it. Thus, we were met with a door opened in front of Kyro and Natty as they had immediately entered right in and spoke, shouting for the rest of us.

“Guys! Come quick!" “Is something a matter?" I heard Zander questioned responsively, there was no answer response back. We sprinted across the room, from various locations, until we had ended up in front of the room where we had turned our attention towards the interior things that was in front of us. Our eyes opened wide, upon the realization of the hiding room being a weaponized room. “This is not good." I breathed out a comment while both Kyro and Natty turned their attentions towards me and frowned. Neither of us had stated nothing in return for the silence still hovered above us just as we had entered through the entrance of the room. Feeling fresh air hitting against our stomachs and snouts, we glanced around upon the room. Turning our attention towards the details of the room surrounding us.

We were in the bedroom. Two queen size beds were in front of us and adjacent to one another. There were no spaces in between them. Not even a desk a light or anything. Adjacent to the two beds was a white closest that was opened; yet nothing was inside surprisingly. The entire closet was cleaned out as if someone was going to move out of here or something. The entire room was the same size as the room previously. Only difference is that the bedroom was a bit cleaner than the actual room outside. Off towards the side, was a window. It was fake apparently. But below the window was something rather interesting. A machine; that was making weird sounds that we can constantly hear it however. I had turned towards this machine, Zander followed me from behind. Kyro and everyone else had went to do their own thing around the place.

We had approached the machine, our eyes lowered onto the surface of millions buttons in front of us. All blinking colorfully and flashing nonstop it had seemed. “Something about this machine s putting me off, for some reason." Zander commented, out of the blue. It was rather something that I agree with him on as my head was raised to the window that was above the machine for some reason. “Could it be something more like a 'telescope' to spy out towards the realms or something?" “A telescope?" Zander questioned me suddenly, his eyes widened upon my opinion but he kept quiet afterwards as he thought about it. Then gradually nodded his head back towards me, “It is a possibility however. Considering that the machine was below the window after all." “But why?" He added, “Why go through all that trouble to spy upon us for?" There was no answer from me however.

As we had continued looking through the machine, we had decided to 'test' our the controls of it in hopes of better understanding what the machine operates to do. We pressed some random button combinations; thus activated something however. Yet we did not know what. After pressing the red button on the side, we continued to press some more random button combinations which had resulted in different many things however. Still, like the first one, we were still unable to figure out the results of it as Zander raised his head up towards the screen and spoke towards me, “Hey Ling. Look at this." “Whatcha mean?" I questioned him, raising my eyes also gazing at whatever that he was pointing to. In front of us stands a big screen; it only showed the view of the plains. The backgrounds was where both reptile and canine realms were upon. Off towards the side was 'virkoal forest'. “I had always wondered how the Hunters and Hourans were doing, right now." I commented out of the blue while Zander continued repeating the combinations that we had done and raised his head up.

The first of the many combinations that Zander did, yield interesting results upon our screen however. For the skies had gone dark and the sun was nowhere to be seen. Both me and Zaander blinked upon this and exchanged looks; shortly before I had allowed Zander to try out other combinations. The second spawned in a different camera angle, showcasing the southern view of Vaster. The third showed the southern view of Hounds. The last show Virkoal Forest. “Someone was spying onto us." “But why the southern part? Why not the entire place?" I question while Zander growled, clenching his paws clenched as his eyes narrowed towards the screen in front of him. “Whoever lives inside this cave, that is." I answered Zander's statement, who had turned towards me and gave a responsive nod “I guess we know whom that is." “We cannot rule the bear out however." I stated.

“Guys." We heard a voice called out from the otherside of the room. A familiar voice that both me and Zander had knew so well upon that we had turned immediately and gaze towards the source of the voice. Upon the other side of the room was Kyro, Natty, Ozkun and Takari. All of which were gathered around someone. “You are going to want to see this however." “What is the problem?" Zander questioned, “It is about your theory." “I guess it is about to be shot down at once." I commented to Zander who just huff and said nothing else as I take his lead and walked the length of the room. Straight towards where the others were however.

Upon Zander's arrival, his eyes widened in surprise upon the surprise that was in front of him. That he had found himself shaking his own head, frowning. Before muttering something underneath his breath, he had immediately turned towards me and gave a quick nod; I nodded without delay and turned back around away from the group just as the others continued staring onto the victim in front of them. The victim in question was none other than the bear. He is dead. Lying upon the ground; stomach against the grounds beneath him. He was stabbed in the back; with a weapon that impacted his fur at five millimeters. It was really small however.

“Should we get someone to do this?" Questioned Natty while I shake my head onto them turning back towards the group behind me as all eyes were upon me however. For upon my nod, they all went silent and turned back their attention to the bear in front of them. Then immediately, Natty and Ozkun crouched down and began their analysis of the wound. I stepped right behind Kyro, officially abandoning Zander as he was really off upon his own world apparently. “How is Zander keeping up?" Kyro questioned me, I just shake my own head, cracking a smile onto him “He is doing well, coping up with the shot down of his own theory however." Kyro said nothing back to me, not even a small either as he just faced me instead. Though the silence was tensed between the two of us; I just narrowed my eyes onto him and growled lightly to make him come back into the reality that we are facing, “It is not like that I would shot his theory down however. It is just that 'nature' had already done that for us, no?" “It is seems like someone had done that for you." Kyro corrected me silently; but pressed nothing more than to turn his attention back towards the others instead.

I only frowned onto him. But stayed silent as I watched him join with the rest of the group, before turning back my attention towards Zander whom just stand in front of the wall in the following silence. I had walked up towards him, Zander turned his attention towards me. As we had stayed silent in the following silence, Zander was the first to speak than I to open my own snout. “I guess that theory is out the window huh?" “That was already established some moments ago, Zander." I commented, though hesitated as my eyes returned to the machine in front of me and at the back of Zander. A thought popped upon my own mind. “Though something about that does bother me sometimes." Zander commented out of the blue and out loud apparently as I had immediately turned towards him, blinked my eyes and tilted my head to the side. “What do you mean by that?"

Instead of saying anything, he just raised his claw high and pointed to the machine in front of him. I followed his pointer and gaze towards the machine in silence, then turned back towards him “What? What is wrong with the machine?" “Nothing is wrong with it. It is just because of the way that the machine is position upon." Zander said, “I do not follow." I responded, a bit confused about what he was saying. Onto this, Zander exhaled a breath and raised his eyes up towards the window above the machine. “What I am saying is this: The machine's window and the actual 'fake' window does not match with one another." “Both of which are different?" I questioned him, the black dragon gave a nod to me.

I blinked, a bit perplexed by what he had just said, thus my attention was drawn towards the window again and back towards the machine window once more. I had tried to figure out some difference between the two; but the images of them were somewhat similar to one another that I had just scratched my own head and frowned. Both the windows have the same background; the image of the plains with both reptile and canine's realms off to the side. Opposing the realms was the forest and apparently that was off to the side too. The plains itself was the same color; green. Together with it were a couple of flowers upon the grounds, scattered throughout the plains apparently. “I see nothing." I started, glancing over to Zander whom somehow disappeared from my sights. I blinked, a bit surprise before turning my attention behind me. Gazing over towards the crowd of dragons there.

“We figured it out, Ling." Said Kyro as his voice filled up upon the silence of the room. I had found myself tilting my head, curious as I walked up towards the black dragon adjacent to Natty. The two seems to be talking with one another; conversing about the same topic as the others were talking. I turned my attention towards Kyro who lowered his paw down onto the victim beneath us. “Our victim is a bear; Use to live in Virkoal Forest, but left soon afterwards. He was planning some 'revenge' against the wolves and coyotes that live together with him." “About the weapon…" I trailed, crossing my arms as my eyes stared onto Kyro silently, who gave a nod back to me in response “Right." He cough and started again, “Our victim is a bear; we do not know his name however. As stated before, he was living inside Virkoal Forest before being kicked out by the Coyotes and wolves that were there. Besides that point, the wound is 5 millimeters and very shallow. He had died by a lost of blood."

“Have you found the murder weapon?" I questioned Kyro, “Ozkun did." Kyro responded, nudging his head towards the other blue dragon whom was staring onto something more interesting than the scene in front of him. I gave a nod to Kyro who immediately turned around and glance at the body before him. Meanwhile, I departed from Kyro and walked towards Ozkun, raising a claw up onto his shoulder. Startling him as he immediately turned around and looked towards me. “Oh it is just you, Ling." “Right." I commented without hesitation as my eyes met with him; he gave a silent nod before revealing the weapon at hand. “This is what we believed." “A knife?" I questioned, “A small handle knife apparently. Look," Ozkun explained, turning the knife so the handle was pointing downward and he raised his other paw towards the tip of the knife, responding “This knife matches the wound." “5 millimeters, right?" Ozkun gave the nod, “So where was the knife?" “Inside the cabinet, underneath the television which does not seem to be working right now." “There?" I questioned, blinking and widening my eyes suddenly as Ozkun gave the nod, frowning.

“We additionally found a telescope adjacent to the knife as well. It seems to be broken, considering that he did not want anyone else to used it otherwise." “A broken telescope." I trailed, Ozkun gave a silent nod to me. Adding, “This may prove that our culprit might be spying onto the canine and reptile realms. For what reason?" “Why does this have anything to do with her? That was the main reason we are here." I commented, my voice raising in tension suddenly which suddenly stopped all conversations and interactions as all eyes turned towards me. A small pause of silence had came, then my eyes widened before turning to Ozkun in silence “Do you think… she was the one who murdered the bear?" “IF that were the case, we should go and arrest her immediately. She is not stabled. That is a given." “But why would she commit such a thing?" I protested, whining though hiding underneath my own questioning voice. Yet everyone was silent other that, for no one had any clue as to the sudden murder of the bear.

“There has to be more…" I trailed, gradually getting angry by the second. I immediately turned towards the rest of my own unit and barked out the orders; but before I could do anything. Someone hit against my own head; breaking my horns and causing me unconscious as I flopped upon the ground. Hard.

By the time I was aroused to awakens, I groaned feeling a rumble or vibration beneath my own groan as my eyes opened up. Becoming a fuzzy vision. Raising my claw up towards my own head; I gradually sat up right and folded my wings behind me. I take the time to look around the room. Everything was seemingly here apparently. The brown cabinet sitting in front of me; the four small windows surrounding me and were implemented upon each of the walls of the room. I was surprise that there was no door; no way of entering or exiting it had seemed. But I just find myself shrugging because of that and raised up myself to my own feet and walked around the room. The first thing I went towards was the cabinet in front of me and pulled the flap doors, revealing whatever was inside.

A piece of paper was in front of me which was something that I had taken from and began to read the content that were within. At the same time, however, a 'door' opened and closed at the same time while voice were called out from the distance. I had immedinately turned towards the source of it; spotting immedinately my unit: Kyro, Natty, Zander, Ozkun and Takari. They all had mixture of expressions; though all of them were turned towards the 'door' that was before them. As they talk and conversed with one another, I take the remaining time to read the rest of the notes before turning around and regrouping with my unit. Kyro was the first to notice me however as he raises his claw up into the air, waving upon me. I responded with my own just as the rest of my unit take notice. Zander, was the first to speak up amongst the sounding silence surrounding us, “Where are we? Some sort of basement?" “Something else more perhaps." I called, Zander just looked at me as if I was crazy or confuse of the matter at hand. I just shake my head upon the black dragon in response, immedinately turning towards the four small windows that surrounded us and spoke, “Quick, aid me into breaking all four of these windows." “With what?" Zander questioned me, I looked onto him in silence and he opened his mouth, nodding.

Thus, in the following silence, we shattered the windows with our bare fist. Three of the four windows would not shatter at all; something that we were a bit surprise about however. I blinked, whenever I turned my attention towards these three remaining windows and continue punching them. Yet they would not shatter at all, something that was rather surprising. “The windows would not break." Commented Natty, mirroring my own thoughts while Zander and Ozkun nodded their heads towards her. Kyro stared onto the broken mirror in silence; then stretched his claw outward. Grabbing hold onto something. I turned to the red dragon, tilting my head following the silence just as he had turned to face us, holding something in his claw.

It was an hard object; two straps were hanging at the edges of the object. The hardness above the two straps were smooth and looking rather new; save for the dried small blood that were in spots of the hardness. “That is a helmet." Commented Zander, breathing while the rest of us glanced over to him. Kyro handed the helmet over to Zander whom immedinately put it onto his own head. A loud plop echoed through the silence as Zander turned his attention towards me, I gave him a thumbs up. But he just shake his head; responding to the unknown “This helmet fit the size of a dragon. Is our culprit a war veteran? Discern about the modern life he had?" “Or rather a war obsessed." Suggested Kyro, but silence was his answer. “Either way, we narrowed our list of suspects for now." I called out while both Kyro and Zander shift their attention towards me, each of them giving a nod in silence.

“Now come on, there has to be mo-“ “Ling, come over here!" Called a voice whom all three of us turned around immedinately. Quickly noticing that the others were not in the room with us, I started frowning as Kyro and Zander called out towards them, “Where are you guys?" “Adjacent to the hallway; check your right." “our right?" Questioned Zander while Kyro exchanged looks with him. Neither of them stated nothing in response, but a turn towards the right. I glanced that path too however; wondering what Natty was trying to state. For before us stands a short hallway. A bridge of some sort; upon the other end of the bridge was another room. This was where they were. As we had noticed Natty waving upon us onto recognition. Zander noticing them first, mirrored back and then cross the bridge then afterwards. Kyro followed Zander, then I followed Kyro. Until we were all over upon the other side, was the time that we had turned towards Natty. Though I was the first to pip up, “What is new?" “We found a computer. Ozkun is currently hacking into it."

“Seems like he is doing a bad job." Kyro responded, causing both dragons to glance his way. Kyro just chuckled silently before walking up towards Ozkun. While the two conversed, Zander had a chat with Natty as I glanced around the room. Equally small as the previous room, I had noticed that there were only four computers running about. Each of them facing a pale white chair while sitting overtop of a white desk table. There were two tables; sporting a pair of computers. Both of which were- “I got it!" Exclaimed Ozkun, filling the room and interrupting my thoughts however as we all glanced over to where Ozkun was throwing his claws into the air above his head, a bright smile hovering upon his snout. “We are in!" “Great." I commented, “Now find that list. Somehow the culprit had decided to put it inside a computer, instead of out into the open for us to find." “You did not see it anywhere else, Ling?" Kyro questioned me, I find myself shaking my head in response. Something that the red dragon just huffed; crossing his arms. But did nothing else in response.

It had taken a few minutes before we had gotten what we had needed. A piece of white paper was imprinted upon the computer screen. Showcasing a list of victims; there were nine at least. Of the nine; upon the fifth line, was my mate's name: I breathed it out in a whisper. A bit surprise upon seeing it on there however while everyone else just had their eyes widened and opened in surprise. I had found myself growling before turning my attention back towards my unit and responded, “We should head back into the station. See what we can find upon there and Yang's office." “You sure there is something we can use there that would aid us into finding the culprit at hand." Questioned Kyro, I gave a nod to the red dragon. Nothing else followed while we recross the bridge again and piled up upon the broken window that we had punched out long ago.

Thus back outside upon the cold breezing night that washed over our scales. We take towards the skies and flew; in a random direction. For we were unsure where our bearings is upon. Nothing upon the surroundings were of used and familiar to us; considering that the plains somehow had turned into this icky pale white desert. The trees were something else too; hard to explain however as a matter of fact. But what was even more interesting was a tower that was rumbling and vibration; a roar that cuts through the silence, causing some of us to turn our attention towards it. Wondering with tilted heads, as of what was going on. It had taken us a few minutes; perhaps an hour before we were able to get our bearings however. Thus, we flew into this direction; flying back home towards Vaster.

Additionally, along the way, we had noticed a werewolf amongst the plains. He seems quiet and kept his thoughts to himself somehow. Though we can see that his legs were on fire; quiet literally. Me and Zander exchanged glances, pondering and wondering about his legs on fire. Though we had decided not to question it however; the curiosity was there. But before we could give into the temptation, the werewolf was already gone from our sights. Already heading straight into canine and most importantly; Hounds city. At the same time, we had arrived back onto the police station at heart of Vaster; landing upon the ground. Glancing up into the horizon of our building; noticing that it was still intact however.

I breathed; exhaling a sigh of relief knowing that while Ozkun motioned everyone. We all followed him through the doors. Entering straight into the main office where we had hope to find some sort of clue here where we had realized that it was a mess inside. There were paper all over the flooring; small spiky objects lingering in spots over the ground or the surfaces of the desks. I frowned, so did everyone else as we went to work cleaning the place. However, during the cleaning; Kyro, Ozkun, Takari and Natty had grabbed onto something that was rather interesting for them. While me and Zander were doing the outer edges of the room; the four gathered up upon the heart of the room; placing their pieces upon the surface of the table where Kyro began piecing them together. They were shocked; when they realized what it was. Such that it forced both me and Zander to glance their way; pondering and wondering what they were doing at the time as a motion of a claw came from Kyro; urging us to walked towards them. We did so, without hesitation. Joining them up upon the gathering, we both lowered our heads; gazing upon the surface of the table in front of us where our eyes sudden went wide, upon what we had saw.

“The location of the dear leader, that you all so called about, should be at the origins of when the VPD had started."

“That is…" I trailed, and the others glanced towards me, I raised my eyes up towards them. Quietness sealed my parting sound, unable to drive the words out of my own mind. Yet somehow, my unit knew. My unit knew where the origins had indeed taken place. For thus, Zander shake his head and sealed my snout finally while we ventured outside, spread our wings and fled North. Straight towards the old abandoned building where the original police station was beforehand.
