The whole NAVY and its perimeter is searched per order of Cale however the wolf king was know where to be found. They have searched high and low, even the children helped. They were now sitting in a room facing across each other trying to find the Wolf.
"*Lock Hyung said he was just going to see the training grounds, I'm so sorry I should have accompanied *Lock Hyung" One of the wolf children said in a sad tone.
He was the last person that *Lock had talked to before he disappeared "It's fine, *Lock Hyung is old enough to be by himself so you don't need to feel bad" Lock comforted his sibling.
"We will continue the search team and look more further into it, also Young Master-nim the Whale tribe will arrive shortly" Amiru said
Cale just nodded looking out the window staring at the horizon, he can't proceed not until he had found the Wolf. He hope *Lock won't do anything reckless and cause problems somewhere 'It'll be troublesome'.
Now that the Whales is about to arrive he needed to talk to them first.
WITIRA the Queen of the Whales stand straight as she walk with her head up high, her posture screams authority and her looks lets out majestic aura. 'It has been a while' she sigh looking around, behind him stood Archie and beside is Paseton who's smiling from ear to ear.
He is excited to see the Young Master after a long time, he had been busy helping his sister ruling their tribe.
Archie crossed his arms as he un-botheredly look at the Navy personel 'not bad' this was the least expectation he had from humans but since the young master is the culprit for this Navy it was understandable that it reached pass his bar 'Who knows what else he has under his sleeve' just thinking about the past he knew how clever and how smart the young master is, so he have his mind and eyes open whenever he is around his perimeter.
Soon enough they saw a group walking out the structure, it was the heroes/benefactor/allies/friends.
Witira smiles as they approach them half way "Young Master it has been long" she greeted, Cale nodded "However..it looks like you've got new family members.." she glance over the hooded people in further back.
Her heart hammered in anticipation 'is this really it? Is my hypothesis true?' she was alarmed thinking that another huge villain had appeared.
"I suppose" Cale just replied looking tired "Can we delay the departure?something unexpected had happened and we can't leave as of now" He asked
Witira had curiosity written across her face "It is not a problem" she glanced over the others who also seemed to be uneasy 'Is it so big of a problem that they look uneasy?' she looked over Paseton who's also clueless and Archie who is frowning.
"We will leave as soon as we found one of our missing family member I hope you understand" Cale added
Witira nodded "Missing? Kidnapped?" she was surprise, how can someone get kidnapped being around these people??
Cale shook his head sideways "No, he just sneaked away" that made her sigh in relief
"I understand I suppose we can discuss some of the agenda here?" She ask with a smile, she knew Cale was someone who doesn't waste time this was how Cale works.
Cale frowned 'Agenda? It's not like there's a problem' he sighed "It can wait, for now please understand" he said.
Witira nodded and calmed her hammering heart 'It must have been under control, good grief' she had thought that whatever the problem is, it must have been under the Young Master's control so he is taking it slow and calculating 'As expected, he never changed'.
On the other hand of the misunderstanding, Cale have been thinking that he might have known where the other Lock went.
"Choi han" Cale's mouth opened
Choi han went to his side "Yes Cale-nim?" he responded quickly
"We'll be going somewhere" Cale faced the others "Everyone else will stay here"
No one dared to ask why "Human I will be with you, like always!" the young invisible dragon Raon spoke in his mind energetically, Cale nodded and started to walk away with Choi han who's following his tracks.
"Cale-nim do you perhaps know where *Lock went?" Choi han asked as he follows, Cale nodded in response as they take the familiar path he and Raon had once went.
"Human!Are we going where we met the little whale!?" Raon asked as he remember it very well.
Choi han's head snapped towards Raon with a questioning look "Paseton?" he ask Raon who he knew calls Paseton as Little Whale.
"Yes!" Raon replied "It is where human and I found the little whale injured! Good thing the good human and this majestic dragon had arrive by coincidence and saved him" he proudly added with a smile that made him cuter.
Choi han knew that but not the whole story and now that he had been hearing it from Raon himself he was surprised a bit 'What were they doing in this kind of place anyway?' he asked since the path led them to a cave. It was a place where no one would even come unless they knew it or they needed to. He glanced over Cale who's been in front of him walking casually as if they were taking a stroll.
Cale sighed as he saw some rocks with blood 'someone is indeed here, I hope it's not his though'
Suddenly a water sprung out the cave aimed towards their direction, Raon quickly had his shield up as if he had expected it.
"That's just rude!" Raon said pouting
Choi han unsheated his sword and went in front of Cale "Calm down" Cale calmly said and Choi han nodded still having his guard up.
The water wasn't that too violent however it is still something to be wary and careful about. Cale was about to step forward but a blue hair teen male dashed forward with a water in the shape of a sword on his hand. Choi han efficiently deflected the attack sending the teen backwards landing on the ground roughly. It's blue eyes shone, blood beside it's mouth.
"oho" Cale expressed his surprise staring at the teen whale, standing not so far he can see it's rough look and state. 'this must be the same whale who had attacked the navy soldiers' he sighed.
"Please calm down" Choi han spoke to the teen who snarled
"Leave!" the teen shouted
"We are here to help" Choi han said ,'well, not really' he thought, they were here in the hopes to find the missing *Lock but find something else instead.
"Help!? no one needs it!" the teen was feisty
Cale raised one of his eyebrows, he was glad that when he had found Paseton the whale wasn't like this one.
They were about to fight when another voice rang in the cave with it's steps echoing "Gab! Pia is having a seizure---Young master?"
"It's the other Lock!" Raon exclaimed in Cale's mind.
Choi han glanced towards Cale with sparkling eyes, *Lock was really here.
"You know them?" the teen who was called Gab by *Lock asked who nodded in response
"I will explain later but Pia needs help! She's having a seizure!" *Lock said in panic
Gab and him quickly dashed deep into the cave, Cale and Choi han followed right after.
Soon they reached the mid part of the cave where they saw a Mermaid having a seizure and is badly wounded.
'she's convulsing' Cale stared at the mermaid, he can see the deep wound on its lower right quadrant of her stomach and a fracture on her wrist.
*Lock was panicking as he felt this so very familiar scenario and feeling, the feeling of being useless as he watches someone suffer rather than help. He glanced over Cale who has his hands on his pockets while watching intently.
"Young master...please help her" *Lock bit his lower lip in desperation, choi han wore his worried expression as he also glanced over Cale.
Cale sighed and nodded as he walked passed by the 2crying and 1 wounded beastpeople "Choi han" he called, choi han nodded and carried the mermaid.
Choi han looked at Cale before he stop his tracks "Will you come back before dinner?" he ask knowing Cale, he seems like he have something to do.
"i will be quick, go" Cale replied as he continue to walk deeper through the cave
"don't worry strong choi han! I am with human and also our human is strong now too" Choi han smiled hearing Raon and nodded before running off carrying the mermaid.
Meanwhile *Lock comforted and reassured the whale who's also wary and worried "She'll be saved, they are....they are nice people" Gab just nodded and they then followed Choi han's tracks.
Meanwhile Cale stopped his tracks as he reached the end of the cave, he wore a frown as he looks down. His head was ringing with the wind elementals voices.
"It's gone"
"Who would?I can still feel the trace but it must have been a week or so"
For some reasons, the empty pond where he had found the Fire suppressing water is now empty makes him feel iffy.
