It has been almost a week since they've departed from the village, and since then it has been very very boring for Avion. Besides the occasional bandits and monsters it's been very uneventful.

But now? Their eyes have met with the Capital of the Re-Estize Kingdom with its capital being appropriately name Re-estize. Now something must be said here, there is a profession called Adventuring. Which in Avion's opinion shouldn't be a job, instead something that everyone does when they go somewhere that they haven't been before!

But with the things that he has heard by Gazef himself, the soldiers that they are with, or with the Adventurers that he talked with that they've met during the ride to the capital. That you can get paid by doing bounties, odd-jobs, and even escorting!

Doing this would give him a lot of information; furthermore, maybe as a reward he could ask to be given the ability to be an adventurer. Even getting in the capital was a hard thing, without identification he couldn't have gotten in, thankfully he had Gazef with him to vouch for him.

When they were a away from the entrance Xana came out but in her human form and walked beside Avion, the reason why they are walking is because they left their horses in the stables outside of the walls of the capital.

Gazef was surprised when he saw Xana but when Avion explained to him that she was following them the entire time, the reason why she didn't come out was because she didn't think they would have enough horses for them.

Avion's attention was drawn to Xana as she spoke softly into his ear "Avion, the Dark Empire has a message for you"

Avion let out his hand as a envelope that is completely red and has a black skull on it was placed onto his hands.

"What's that?" Gazef said this to Avion when he saw the envelope.

"A message from a friend" Avion responded casually, Gazef didn't pry any further for it will be disrespectful.

Avion opens the Envelope and a piece of paper was in it, opening the paper the message is written in dried blood, seeing the blood Avion knew who it was from, it was ether Clockworks or Jeff, or his girlfriend. Or maybe even Toby.

A/N: YES I have done some research! Apparently there are a lot of Jeff the Killer clones out there, but only like two are good.

The message read simply.

SoMeOnE ElSe is LOoking InTo ThAT BoY's DeAtH, A WaItInG oRdErS.

Avion always hated their hand writing, it just looks so weird. But due to his knowledge, that boy only had a few friends; there is that one site where 'investigators' look into their doings, but he sends out ether Toby or Clockwork to send them on a goose chase and kill them.

Anyways he needed more information on the subject, okay now here comes the question. Why notify him if you don't know whom is looking into the Dark Empire? He needs more information in order to even give out an order.

Avion decided to ask another important question to Xana but then he remembered that she can teleport, so even asking where she got the message is out of the picture. So he decided to ask a different question.

"Xana, do we know the people investigating? If not please tell Cockwork and Toby to look into them and when they find them tell them to do what they wish to them."

After hearing Avion, Xana did a little salute and teleported out of the area.

[Cut to the Dark Empire with Clockwork and Toby]

Clockwork has a knife that she is twirling around her fingers while Toby has a axe that he is sharpening. Xana comes into the room by opening the doors which made a creaking sound and Xana snorted while the smell of blood assaulted her nose.

Xana spoke out to Clockwork and Toby "hey! Clock and Toby! Boss has an order for you!" Xana said this in a cheerful manner.

Clockwork smiled while Toby remained silent his googles however stayed on Xana.

"Okay here is the order: look into the people that want to expose the Dark Empire and find them, and whatever you do to them is completely up to you!" Xana said this but her cheerful attitude alerted Jeff whom was nearby and went to see who it was.

"Xana, what's going on? Did the Boss get our message?" Jeff said this as he entered the room and sat on the table that was in the middle of the room.

Xana nodded while smiling "yup! You have to find the people and when you do you can do whatever you want with them."

Jeff after hearing her started laughing in a psychotic manner. Clockwork rolled her eyes while Toby got up and started to leave.

Seeing Toby leaving Clockwork called him "Hey Toby, where are you going?"

Toby looked at her through his googles and spoke "to find these investigators, and give them what they want. A story, but a story that ends with them dead."

"I'm coming with you" Clockwork said this which Toby only grunted.

Jeff got up and got his knife out of his pocket and smiled like a psychopath and spoke out to them both "leave some for me!!"

Watching them leave Xana shivered, she found no joy in torturing her food. It makes it lose its flavor. Why would you want to eat a dry steak? Except that steak is human for Xana. Xana licked her lips thinking about humans, she's getting hungry again.

A/N: please note that I don't know EVERYTHING about Jeff, Toby, or Clockwork, if something is wrong then correct me.
