"Hey you, do not approach the royal order, with such a disrespectful attitude," one of the knights said as he pushed me to the ground.
" Ryan! don't mistreat civilians like that and the kid looks like he knows something, so tell me kid" the knight let me go as I stood up and looked at the knight who helped me.
He was a tall man with dust blond hair and deep brown eyes and brown wings. But other than that, he was ordinary, a hybrid!!.
(hybrids are children of human and beast-men)
"Yes sir. I have found out valuable information on the butterflies. I found it odd that the butterflies' victims have a connection because this breed of butterflies are scavengers and only act on their queen's order and I also have a clue to trace their source"
the knights were processing the information and discussed among themselves " Ahem the royal order of knights have made a decision to ask for your assistance sir ….", " William", " Sir William….. and allow me to introduce my self commander of the royal order and under the direct command of crown prince Thienya ( its pronounced th-un-ya). Kane at your service" The winged man introduced himself.
" I will gladly assist you sir Kane and these are my companions, merchant Rochio and flight lion Chun" Rochio gave him a light bow, and Chun curtseyed. I trained her well.
with that, I told him about the moon blue irises and the search for blue moon irises was underway. within a day's time, they were able to locate 55 locations with blue irises. but identifying blue moon iris is my job.
We went around the sites of blue iris to find moon blue ones after a long search we found them but no signs of butterflies " there are no signs of them" sir Kane commented "we should not have trusted a commoner" the knight named Ryan stated seriously what's his deal.
"shhh, I am working please stay quiet" as I made my statement Chun started acting weird a little restless "smell anything bud" Chun nodded " lead the way" Chun immediately flew towards the river, near the field. Chun was headed towards a waterfall?! At this point, we are very far away from the irises and my worry at that time was what would happen to me if all Chun smelt was food?
So I chased after a lazy flight lion that I thought would never fly, with the royal order of knights hoping to find clues to the mayhem happening in the city, in the worst case might as well plan a prison escape.
Chun signaled to go behind the waterfall I went after her when I was stopped by sir Kane "it's dangerous to go in you stay back" wait. my info! " no sir I can't do that with my partner leading the way I need to be by her side and you would need my assistance to identify your surrounding vegetation" now let me in "apologies but this cave is haunted thus it is forbidden for citizens access, and not to mention you are a dai" "correction a dai with a flight lion"
I smiled broadly as Chun sat on my shoulder. you know what they say when you don't have status of your own use the status of your pet yes I am well aware that it was a lame phrase.
" Guess it can't be helped but be very cautious" " growl" I heard Chun roar for the first time. It was quite shocking but seeing it made me feel like a proud mom.
Behind the waterfall was a cave as we ventured deeper into the cave there were so many magic stones but that didn't attract me. I can't use it anyway.
It has been 30 minutes of going deeper inside the sound of the waterfall was no longer heard. Dead silence the only sounds heard were our footsteps. As we went a little deeper I heard sounds of water droplets inside there was an opening in the roof of the cave causing light from both moons to fall on crystals creating an illuminated dome. Thank god Chun didn't lead us to food. The place was filled with moon blue irises glowing under moonlight.
