Fila walked into his snowy home. He didn't expect anything other than just walking inside, and he received what he expected: nothing.
Fila was an Ice-Fire Dragon hybrid, so not very popular. He didn't like using his fire side because he got it from his dad, who he ran away from when he was younger. He liked his Ice, even though he never knew his mother.
He lived in a fairly quiet neighborhood. He had only two or three neighbors, he couldn't keep track. There was Garina, a Night Dragon female who lived with her husband. Also Harmano, a Nature Dragon who's garden is always lushes, just how she likes it. Then there's Xaran. He's an Ice Dragon who works as a care taker for older Dragons. Fila had heard that Xaran had a son with a fertile male Dragon, but he couldn't be sure.
Fertile male Dragons are rare, being recessive traits that are passed on. Fila himself was a fertile Dragon, but he couldn't be sure. He's never went to a Healer Dragon to find out. He didn't even know his sexuality, which every other Dragon did when they're young. Besides the point, Fila finds himself on his couch watching the news.
"Another Murder has been discovered. The body is frozen in a layer of Fire-Ice. Detective Dragons are gathering all Fire-Ice Hybrids to interrogate. No witnesses have been found." A female Dragon says. Her partner continues.
"The Dragon that was found dead was a Night Dragon by the name of Nassimuna, a 270 Year Old who worked in a business selling flowers and honey. Her husband, Hammisana, speaks with us tomorrow to give us more details." It goes back to the female.
"On other news, the Oldest Dragon ever seen has moved to the town to celebrate her 9 thousandth birthday. As an honour, all businesses will be closed and a celebration in Town Square will be held. For more information, please contact us at 973246, or visit our Page, newsatnight.hsm. Thank you, and that is all for tonight. Please call 973246 if you know of any Fire-Ice Hybrids please." And with that, it cut to late night drama shows.
He got up and got his phone. Everyone in town knew Fila. He's always honest and does what is right. After a couple of minutes, he walks into the Detective Dragons building.
"Good Evening, Fila!" Says the Light dragon at the front desk. He's a bit chunky, but otherwise he looks normal.
"Evening Morallo." he walked to the front desk.
"How may I help you?"
"Just wanted to come in. Heard they were looking for Fire-Ice Hybs (Hybrids), thought i'd come in for interrogation." He takes his phone out and puts it on the counter, giving it to Morallo like usual.
"That's kind. Just step into one of the Interro rooms and ill have Tibenius with you in a minute." Morallo pressed a series of buttons and a door opened a few meters away.
"Will do. I might stop by tomorrow and get everyone Febaro. Maybe some Thouys as well, if you'll be hungry." He starts walking towards the door.
"Will do. I could use some Febaro tonight to be honest."
"As soon as i'm done. Anyway, talk in a bit."
"Will do!" And with that, Fila closed the door and took a seat.
Fila worked at a Hos (Cafe) and served Febaro (Coffee) and Thouys (Doughnuts) daily to the Detectives. He sat with his hands on the table and a minute later, a Detective Dragon walked inside. He had spikes on his chin and an extra long tail. His ears, like most Detective Dragons, were smaller but helped them hear more. It was Detective Tibenius.
"How are you doing, Fila?"He asked with his gruff voice.
"Doing fine, Tib. Just heard about that body and wanted to come in."
"Pal,as a DT (Detective) I know it wasn't you. Yes, it was frozen in Fire-Ice, but there was Liquid Metal all over the crime scene. It's a Hyb of a Hyb." He took a seat.
"That's weird. A Fire-Ice-Metal Hyb?"
"Yep."
"Seems impossible. And what type was the one frozen? Looked like a Nature or Forest." Fila wanted to know to protect his neighbor if possible.
"Defiantly a Forest. There house is COVERED in trees. Usually a Nature only has grass, vines, and flower." He thought for a second. "Oh. Worried for Harmano?"
"Yep. I want to make sure she makes it to next years Garden Contest. 38 Hundred is barley pushing the limit, let alone 59 hundred, like she is."
"Bud, as a 26 Hundred Year Old, I can tell you that you don't know the worst."
"Hey, I'll be turning 945 next week." Fila was kinda defensive.
"And by this point a regular Dragon would have been married and had a baby. You're still single in almost the wilderness surrounded by older people. I mean, Xaran is pushing 13 Hundred."
"Yeah...I know I'm young. I just haven't figured out sexuality yet." Fila admitted to Tib another time.
"It's alright. But just remember, you're w-" They were cut off as the door was blown open in a blast of Fire, Ice, and Metal. As Fila was blown against the wall, he knew who it was immediately.
It was the murderer.
