As Rochio and I came to the port, we talked about my goals and his. Surprisingly he supported my goals.

Chun also got along with him.

We came to the port in Rochio's wagon, it's way faster than walking and we finished gearing me up. I got a dagger, a sword, a few sample tubes, by few, I mean a lot along with journals and preserving serum and stored them in my ring "a space ring? pretty cool bro" Rochio told me.

Just then we heard screaming, it was very loud but from a distance. as we got close to the origin of the sound, there were a lot of people around the source.

Soon, everyone who went near was screaming and running away, just what is happening here? I headed into the crowd to see for myself. It was a horrible sight, so bad I closed Chun,s eyes.

A murder! The victim's internal organs were missing but something was off because if it had been an organ theft, the murderers would have carefully cut open the body.

But this body only had a small opening. Just then a butterfly flew out of the victim's mouth. Covered in blood, it was a little blue and black. Where have I seen it before? I was cut off from my chain of thought by Rochio, puking. I helped him back to his feet and left the scene.

Later that evening, I was thinking about the butterfly at the crime scene. As I was lost in deep thought, I heard another scream. This was from a close distance. As I reached, I saw a man being eaten, by the same butterfly, but this time it was more than one butterfly. They flew away as some people came by, leaving the half-eaten man there.

The reason I am digging this deep into this case is because of the butterflies. legend has it that certain breeds of butterflies only breed in Mera's garden. If this is one of them, that means the garden is close by.

As days went by, more cases of butterfly death appeared.

Rochio insisted that we leave the port, but I decided to stay. And even though Rochio was scared, he decided to stay with me. What a nice guy! So I continued my research. There are several types of flesh-eating butterflies. Now my task is to find which breed this is. After a few days of research, I finally found out about the butterflies ."````Moon iris butterflies" is a breed of flesh-eating butterflies that do not act on their own. They only act on the orders of their queen, it's mostly of scavenger nature, they are only found near iris flowers that bloom in moonlight, which is a very rare breed of iris, and Mera's garden is said to have every breed of flowers and fruits.

I was overwhelmed with joy to find a clue, but something was wrong, beasts hunting humans for food and humans and large beasts, hunting small beasts are very common, but Moon iris butterflies only hunt if ordered to, they are scavengers, this doesn't match their nature.

" the royal order of knights ...ARE HERE!" Rochio came banging in, followed by Chun who now had a red ribbon decorated with gold thread work and a small red stone attached to its end tied to her tail " whatchu got there Chun " " pretty neat huh it's my present to her. so no take backs, she has been protecting me. while her master was chasing butterflies "

ok so Rochio was kinda mad " anyway the royal order, we can't miss them. let's go " then Chun and Rochio dragged me to see the royal order of knights, they were inspecting the deaths from there, I could hear them talking "there are all involved in shady stuff. They are all criminals" '' HOLD ON THEY HAVE A CONNECTION" and that's when I messed up and almost got arrested.
