Crimson Raven | [MYTHICAL SERIES BOOK 2]

THREE || A Familiar Place

"HOLD ON A MOMENT." Ryu rose xis hands up in the air when Mamoru revealed the news at the agency. "Solaria has a brother, sir?! W-We never knew that!"

"I didn't, either, but they assume that he is more than likely behind these. From what he also said, these killings connect to stuff in the past." Mamoru crossed his arms. The sound of keyboards being typed on occupied the atmosphere of the room.

"So that would relate to the odd letter near the body!" Stella exclaimed. "I think it said something along the lines of them being the child of the guards long ago?"

"I believe so." Katsuro added on. "Tigoris still has guards to this day, but this has to be one of Solaria's guards. I think Uncle Kiyo told us that his parents were guards to Solaria, prior to them retiring a little after they were brought back. But that was a little while after the Legendary Incident, I think, when they were his guards."

"You might be right there. Hmm...the entity was a rabbit one so one of their parents must've been one as well back then." Stella mused along with their friend. "We'll need to probably look at records, but that will inquire us going to Tigoris."

Katsuro nodded, as did the others. That made sense, so they will set forth there soon.

"Looks like I'll need to contact Sakari again. Hold on." Mamoru took out the card Sakari had given him earlier and he dialed the number. He heard Sakari's voice after it rang a few times. "Hey, Sakari. Sorry to ask again, but could you take us to Tigoris? We need to find some records."

--------------------------

Mamoru found himself in awe as the group made their way into Tigoris. For Stella and Ryu, this was nothing surprising since they've been here most of their lives. Katsuro had visited here a lot when his moms brought him here as a kid, so it brought a lot of good memories.

Sakari couldn't come along with them since they had stuff to work on, so they had handed their necklace to their son. He knew how to work it, so they had gotten here in no time.

As Stella showed Mamoru around the place, Katsuro and Ryu decided to get a head start on the castle. They figured that might be a good place to start, but then again, the investigation agency was as well.

"Which way should we start first?" Ryu wondered, xis eyes looking around the place.

"Perhaps the investigation agency first." Katsuro mused, speaking at the same time as his friend.

"I was just thinking the same thing!" Ryu did finger guns at him and the two chuckled a bit. They told Stella that they would be checking out the agency first.

Stella nodded, with her and Mamoru going to the castle.

Ryu knocked on the doors to the agency, looking a bit surprised to see Kōri on the other side. "Hey, Mr. Kōri!" he smiled. "Are you working here too?"

The Hanoni chuckled and shook his head, smiling at seeing the two. "No, I'm not. I was just visiting Taoyaka and Kagami. I have to get back to the bookstore, actually."

"Oh, nice! We're probably going to talk to them, too. This has to do with the Crimson Raven stuff." Ryu noted, trying xis best to have a professional-like tone. The trio were still pretty new, so this tone that they've heard Mamoru use so far would happen over time. To be frank, they were pretty nervous.

The blue-haired man stiffened, but merely for a split second at the mention. He tried his best to keep his composure by masking with a smile. "Oh interesting! I do wish you guys the best of luck with that." Realizing he was still blocking the entrance, he coughed slightly and stepped aside.
