A journey begins - A skulduggery pleasant story

The Past three Month

That day, truelly, changed everything.

Sanguine was back to his true self. Energized.Cheeky.Funny.

And thanks to his father and Valkyrie his recovery couldn't be better.

Indeed, then and there, he still had his breakdowns.

Yet, one of those two or Dusk were always here for him. So, like his father, he decided to join their secret Detective office.

Forming a great partnership with Valkyrie and Dusk.

Ending with them, usually working together on cases.

Through what, they were known under a special name, the others had given them. The Chosen Three.

Eventually they even took the name and cared for justice behind the shadows of the Sanctuary.

Due to this, Sanguine, not long later, decided to stay at Dusks , since he had no home. Neither did Scarab, but as an Assassin he didn't really have the need for a home.

Compare to him, Sanguine did have the need and luckily Dusk allowed him. After what Sanguine went through, that was the least he could do for him, in Dusks opinion.

Plus he developed to a great friend and teammate.

And eventually it didn't take long, that the third team-member moved into Dusks home, too.

The relationship between these two grew with each day, till she finally moved in and Billy-ray definitely was happy for them.

Even if it reminded him on his life with Tanith, he knew Tanith would be happy, if he's able to smile for other persons love.

Overall that had happened after the day his father talked with him, in about 2 to 3 weeks.

Today, almost three months afterwards, a lot more has changed, Sanguine grew to a great Detective and the secret Detective office grew as well.

Scarab got some more of this old friends to join and so did the others. Leading to an almost world-wide secret connection to most other countries.

Though that wasn't the best thing, apparently Valkyrie was pregnant and soon to be mother.

In other words Dusk was about to be dad, soon, too. Which basically would make Sanguine a kind of uncle and Scarab a kind of grandpa, due to their close friendship.

And the moment, they were asked for that honour, they instantly accepted.

To say the truth, they were more than happy to take over such a role. Admittedly Scarab even nearly cried of pure joy to get to be a Grandpa. And Sanguine couldn't get his smile off of his face.

Of course, the great news were really heart-warming for the rest of the team, too and all of them just can't wait to have a new little detective running around the office.

Or perhaps a new troublemaker to join Springheeled Jack on his tours over London or Nefarian Serpine to get some sense into his dimensional Mevolent.

On the whole, everyone was happy for Valkyrie and Dusk.

Unfortunately where light is, there is dark.

With each more day that passed the Sanctuary got nearer on finding out about their secret organisation.

A few names are already known.

Valkyries and Dusks are part of it.

And the Sanctuary is eager to follow the traces, they are now examining.

Even one of Skulduggeries friends and a member of their secret team, Saracen Rue , who had escaped the influence of Creed, nearly got into a shooting with them.

Luckily at that time, Silas Nadir was with him and before both of them would have got greatly shot, he shunted themselves into the Leibniz-Universe, to the camp of the resistance and back to their office.

Causing Saracen to swear to never shunt again.

To summarise, it was..

bad,..

the Sanctuary were right on their trails and get nearer with each day.

Spies were everywhere.

It was so bad, that the most of their former evil team-mates feared to go outside or do their dayly patrols.

Scarab, Scapegrace and Springheeled Jack, who even forbid his kids to go outside, were one of the few, who still went outside, despite the danger.

Surely one of them will be caught sooner or later, nevertheless they took that risk on them...

.. Luckily, up to today, nothing ever happened...

But when will?
