Episode 27

(Jene's pov)

The two men, have been roughed up a bit by the endo to get information. We've searched them in their minds and they have a weird way if hiding that information even in their brains. As if something more was hiding it from us. I've walked into their cells and proceeded to look them both in the eyes. They were really roughed up, sweaty with blood running down their faces and panting. They angrily looked at me.
"Your looking at me like I'm a villain." I joked sarcastically and walked up to the man on the left who stared at me with death glaring eyes.
"Tell me all your secrets and I shall let you both go." I said to them both, looking at the other who was looking at his partner. Almost trying to plead but his partner kept his eye on me without a word.
"Very well then." I reached my hand out, touching his shoulder and digging deeply into his memories. I searched far an wide, at this point desperately trying to grab onto anything that was in his memories that linked to this investigation.
It's a definite organization, very dark...a grave threat to us...to y/n. This tyrant ran this organization not by themselves. Not by herself. I could feel a dark power suddenly creep into my mind but I retreated my hand quickly away from him as he took a deep breath in. He looked at me with eyes I recognized and have seen over and over and over again through out my lifetime that haunts me to this very day. The pupils of his eyes were a very dark blue with the whites of his eyes pitch black, the change of his eyes slowly begin to creep away as they fade to a more normal color. The other man looked at me with fear and worry. I left the call quickly and demanded of my men to retrieve the dagger. They grabbed it, handing it to me and I firmly gripped it in my hand as I looked at the words written on the blade. I'm off to the library to decode the message...

(Y/n's pov)

Another day without work so it's been pretty much a slow week for The most part. It's just been me and gryffin together alone doing what ever it was we were doing. Walking through the garden, meditating together, spending time in my office. But this time me and him were in the library, walking through the isles of many shelves filled with many different books. Then we stopped by the history section of the library. "So what's your history...?" Gryffin asked aloud as he picked out a book from the shelf and skimmed through it. "Zemora was built by hardworking settlers who bought the land from wilstoke who was ruled by a king at the time." I told him, he put the book back as we both sat down in chairs by a table. "Do tell more." Gryffin says as he rests his head in the palm of his hand. "Well...zemora first started from a village, then the settlers was gaining income from the many different shops with the people who come and go. They built more of this kingdom and then soon built the giant castle that still stands today. They continued to build bigger and better things until the kingdom became eye candy to many other kingdoms. Then a decade after that, after fighting for it, zemora was declared a kingdom now with a running government." I told him with a passionate tone, I was happily telling him this story. It made me proud from how far we've come as a kingdom. It just makes you think that this whole kingdom started out as settlers buying the land with whatever money they had and they just began building whatever. Then it becomes a kingdom the next. The story still shocks people till this day. "Then the people struck mines and began mining for various ores and minerals. The people struck gold, quite literally. They struck gold, plenty of it too. They became richer and richer by the the years, luckily finding gold many many times. Soon with the greatest amounts of income of much gold, taxes, and various different trades, zemora turned into the richest kingdom." Gryffin had a raised brow of confusion written on his face. "Trades? How do you become rich from trade?" He asked me curiously. "There are many different trades that go on here. Kingdoms often buy our fashion here and our makeup. We trade our fashion, they trade us their wealth." Gryffin had an "O" look on his face as he nodded understandably. "Your history is much more interesting then expected." Gryffin stated and he leaned back with folded arms. "We get that alot here." I chuckled and twiddled with my thumbs. We left the library soon enough, then ended up in the ball room of the castle. It was a giant gold ball room with a beauitful floor and giant windows on either side of the room. "I've never used this room at all before." I told gryffin as I do a little spin as a giggle escapes my lips. Gryffin just simply walked with me, watching me spin around and laugh at my goofy self. "I would assume you would. Men would gawk at your beauty." Gryffin stated and I stopped, staring at him with a smirk on my face. "For an endo, you sure are flirtatious." I teased, my smirk turning into a slow grin. Gryffin shrugged and walked passed me but I caught up beside him and hugged his arm. "We should use the ball room sometime." I propose and stare up at him and he glanced down at me, staying quiet for a brief moment and sighing softly. "If you desire to use this ball room, I wouldn't mind being your first hand in a dance." I squealed excitedly with the biggest and brightest smile on my face. Gryffin just stared at me, with no care in the world and just hummed as we both walked through out the castle together. There was not much to do sadly, I wasn't busy and gryffin didn't seem to be busy at all either. All he had to do was stay by my side until the investigation has ended and all of this is over with. I somewhat dread that day, that would mean I wouldn't see gryffin again and he would have to go back to the temple. I had already grown attached and fond of this man, too much that I'm becoming more and more sad for the day to arrive where he would have to leave. I want him to stay with me till time stops.
"Is something wrong?" Gryffin asked as we both sat in the main room together by the fire. I guess I hadn't realized the sadness was quite evident on my face. "No, everything is fine..." I lied but i felt my heart race when he put his thumb and index finger on my chin gently making me look at him, deeply into his eyes. "You know you can tell me anything." He said softly with a growly type voice, making my heart do flips. "What will you do when this is over with?" I asked him with worry and a shaky voice. He looked to be taken aback by this question, then started to think deeply of his answer. "I will be asked to return to the temple with a new assignment waiting for me there." Gryffin simply stated with a hint of regret in the way he said it. I could feel my heart break apart as I stared at him sadly. "You don't want me to go..." he said, analyzing my behavior, making me chuckle with embarrassment. "What makes you think that?" I asked him sarcastically and he just hummed, amusement danced in his eyes. "The sadness is a dead give away. You dread the thought of me gone." Gryffin says, analyzing my behaviour closely. "Well aren't you a detective." I joked and looked down at my feet. My heart was still breaking apart slowly. "I dread the day too. The day where I have to leave you alone." He admits and I looked at me, I was shocked to hear a man like him admit that to me. Though he would have to leave, he didn't want to. I could see it. I can feel it. A smile stretches on my lips as we both stared at each other.
"How could i?" He whispered and we both edged closer to each other but it was interrupted when feya busted through the door and we turned to her to see her sweating and panting.
"Queen y/n! Your demanded to be at the capitol!" She shouted suddenly and me and gryffin look at each other with confusion.
"They have new information!"

(Jene's pov)

I was decoding the words on the blade, flipping pages like crazy with fear in my eyes. The words were decoding into something that I had feared being involved in this investigation.
"The power in all things confident, brings fortune to those who deserve it." one of the lines says. "Confident men are passionate men. Passionate men are the most broken, broken men are the most useful men." That line struck fear in my heart. No way were they after her, the only woman I have left to the l/n family. "Innocent blood, the gateway to the desire of being worthy to us." spoke and the last line haunts me till this day. "Bathe in light blood and black water. Mother welcomes you. Demwar till dark." I couldn't believe it. I shut the book and tightly gripped the dagger in my hand, staring at it with anger. Now it made sense.
"Demwars...."
