2 The Father of Mystical Sciences

"This should be enough... Yes." Cyclops rolled the parchment and stuck out his tongue licking the edges wet. Nearby a homing bird is in its cage. Cyclops opened the cage and whispered the name it should home to. He then placed the rolled parchment onto its body and opened his hands, letting the homing bird start its destination.

Cyclops stared over the window and quietly prayed. "Please respond. Please, please respond..."

{In the Moniyan Empire - Science Institute}

Within the highest tower of the institute. A man with frizzy black hair lined with silver strands of long wisdom faces the chalkboard filled with equations and numbers. His chalky fingers rubbed against his chin, quietly contemplating on where he must have gone wrong in his equations for his new invention. He took a step back and scanned the board in front of him from corner to corner, when his thoughts was disturbed by the tapping noise on the window. The orange sun shone within the room and a dark figure is seen just outside the glass paned window.

Dr. Rooney walked silently towards the window and opened it ajar, letting the homing bird squeeze through. As the bird got in it flew towards the nearby table and pecked on the dry biscuit served for Dr Rooney's afternoon snack.

Dr. Rooney then unlatched the parchment from the bird and unrolled it. His eyes scanned the parchment slowly turning to a size of a saucer as he read the contents of letter. His brows furrowed, lines started to appear on his face, his lips thinned and his eyes shaking as if in deep thinking. He then whipped his head towards the window for a glance then turned his body towards the door.

Dr. Rooney flew down the stairs taking a flight in seconds. His pace not slowing on the long corridors. He found the door he was looking for and opened it. Inside a shocked bird, its back facing the door, a hand holding on to a wrench fiddling with its clocks. He quickly twisted his head 180 degrees. His wide eyes staring at the one who opened his laboratory door, "Idol, what's going on?"

"Come with me." Dr. Rooney stern and serious.

Without another word, Diggie grabbed his staff and flew outside the room.

"Let's go to the observatory." Dr. Rooney stood stiff outside the door. "Alright then." Diggie stared at the face of Dr. Rooney. Waiting for the his idol to move first and take the lead. A thought flashed through his head.

"Doctor, don't tell me you forgot where the observatory is..." Diggie cocked his head a smile slowly forming on his beak.
