 Note : Male rover will be referred as Y Rover, female rover will be referred as F Rover.

 

Y Rover : "So, you done yet TIS ?"

TIS : "Yup, cameramen's already in his description mode, you can continue"

Y Rover : "Ok, then after me and Jiyan defeated the threnodian, suddenly from this right hand of mine *lift his right hand and look* a weird TD like creature appeared, and absorb the threnodian power"

TIS : "WOW"

Y Rover : " Indeed, I asked Baizhi to checked on him, and she was cas confused"

TIS : "Hold on, you said that, the TD like thing, is in your right hand right ?"

Y Rover : "Yes, what ? you want to see Abby ?"

TIS : "Abby ? you gave him a name ?"

Y Rover : "Well, it's easier to communicate with him like that"

TIS : "Hahahah, well, can I see this Mr. Abby ? a very cute name"

F Rover : "Sure, I think he wants to see you too, usually he's asleep, but he seems to be awake now"

Rover lift her hand up and in a short moment, her tacet mark glows with a brimming, yet soothing light, withing the light, a small yellow orb flew out and starting to take a shape of a small creature.

Abby : " Oh so this is the guy, you've been talking to" Abby said as he put his hands on his hips.

TIS : "Oh goodness… P*****-like mascot character huh" TIS said with a sly smile

F Rover : "He's cute isn't he"

TIS : "Hey Abby, wanna eat some food ?"

Abby : "FOOD !!!! OF COURSE WHERE IS IT ?" still flew from left to the right in excitement as if he was searching where the food is.

TIS : "here, brought some cookies, you can take one too Rover" As he opens his bag (that was propped up on the tree behind them) and takes out a box of round shaped chocolate cookie.

F Rover : "Thanks, I do need some, hehe" Takes one cookie and started to bite it slowly

Abby : "WOOWWWW, I WANT ONEEEE !!" Brutally takes 6 pieces at once and Vigorously gobbled it….. Yet…. He still looks cute while doing it.

TIS : "Hah, now imagine Scar doing that LOL"

I know right HAHAHHAA

F Rover : "That would not have been very pleasant to see hehe"

…..Abby is still gobbling up the cookie…..

TIS : "so, Rover, what do YOU think of him ?"

Y Rover : "well, Baizhi stated he is a TD, but a weird one, not to mention that he talks"

TIS : "mmh… sorry to offense him and you, but… is he dangerous or potentially dangerous, I mean, my guy absorb a threnodian right ?"

Y Rover : "Well, he isn't in a very dangerous state as of currently, as he also seems to forget about his origin"

TIS : "Like you huh ?"

F Rover : "Yes…"

F Rover : "TIS… do you know something about him ?"

TIS : "I honestly can't really say anything about what I know, as I myself is confused"

F Rover : "oh I see…."

TIS : "But I guess I can help you a bit, I mean, YOU JUST SAVED JUE AND JINHSI RIGHT ?"

F Rover : "So it has already spreaded huh… I kinda want to keep that a secret… but oh well"

TIS : "too bad Rover, news spread even faster than light" he said with a little chuckle.

Y Rover : "well yes, and I am the master of Jue, do you know that part ?"

TIS : "uh-huh, well you see, after the threnodian defeat, a request pop up in my office. I wanted to contact you but Miss Sanhua stated that you are going after Magistrate Jinhsi in Mt. Firmament. "

F Rover : "Ohhh…."

TIS : "Yeahh, so should we head to the office now ? The quest fits perfectly for your 'unanswered' question"

F Rover : "Sure"

Rover and TIS quickly stand up, pack their fishing tools, and head back to the office.

In the office, TIS sit on the table that is placed in the top middle part of the room (if you look at it from above). While Rover sit on the chair beside him.

TIS : "Now, miss Rovah please read this" as he give a small mail

F Rover : "Please don't say my name like that" taking the small mail

While Rover is reading the mail, TIS seems to be- oh… what ?

TIS : "You're not really good at describing stuff huh ?"

SO what ??

TIS : "use an AI bruh"

NAHHHH…

TIS : "LOlll"

 

Anyway, as Rover opens the mail, a piece of paper with a writing :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-One might heareth us, yet one despiseth us-

-One knoweth of us, yet hath chosen to forget-

-One hath betrayed us; mankind hath betrayed us-

-We are the betrothed lament, yet the betrayed lament-

-I did save, yet I was betrayed-

-The Lord Arbiter hath betrayed us, bestowed us, yet hath forsaken us-

Sign in the name of : Qichi Village.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F Rover : "Please don't tell me you just write this off, I mean, you're the type of person to do that'

TIS : "Ey, don't get to suspicious of me, I AM NOT writing that, I was as confused as the sender was a village"

F Rover : "And they stated 'Lord Arbiter' an important person"

TIS chuckles hearing Rover said that, but quickly back to a serious look.

TIS : "What are your overall thoughts on this Rover, disclaimer first though, I showed this since the sign mention 'one', which how Jue refers himself in the literature"

Y Rover : "I understand"

Y Rover : "It seems that the writer is indicating something, about vengeance to this 'Lord Arbiter' the person that saves them, but betrayed them ?"

TIS : "Yes."

F Rover : "furthermore, the sender is a village ?"

TIS : "that's the part where I was like, whaaa ???"

F Rover : "Does this means, that the sender wanted YOU to come there TIS ?"

TIS : "I also suspected that…. UNTIL…" TIS extend his hand to Rover wanting to hold the letter.

F Rover : "Oh here" hand over the letter to TIS

TIS then turn off the light in the room, and opens the window, making way for the sunlight. Slowly TIS lift the paper in the window and.

TIS : "I realise that this paper was written with a UV-reactive paper"

F Rover : "That means, there's a hidden message ??"

TIS : "Come look at this"

Rover stands up, from her chair and walks to TIS, standing beside him. Looking up, his expression suddenly changes to a shock.

Y Rover : "How is that possible ?"

TIS : " I was in shock myself"

The paper shined by the UV from the sunlight reveals a familiar face, that is none other holds by... Scar.

 

Scar's face bore the marks of a brutal beating: his eyes were nearly swollen shut, his nose sat at an unnatural angle, and blood trailed from the deep gashes across his broken cheeks.

TIS put down the paper and closes the window, and turn on the light again. He sit down, and Rover followed him.

F Rover : "TIS."

TIS : "Yes…."

Y Rover : "What would happened, was either Scar was the one who wrote the letter, and then someone slam his face into it, and scar throws it away"

TIS : "indeed, or Scar was the one that wrote that, after a battle or something."

F Rover : "But… one thing for sure"

TIS : "indeed…"

TIS and Y Rover : " The way this letter came in this place, was a request"

TIS : "Loll… we're In sync"

Y Rover : "I don't think this is a simple thing to be left out"

TIS : "Absolutely, I wanted to investigate this tomorrow Rover, for today I just want to search for the Qichi village"

Y Rover : "I see… well I also have some day off before the moon festive festival, I guess I can help"

TIS : "fantastic, having you around will tackle this in no time"

F Rover : "hahah, thank you… we should also asks Scar himself"

TIS : "Isn't he in prison ? Oh wait…"

F Rover : "Yes… I'm sure Jinhsi would let us see him"

TIS : "Fantastic"

F Rover : "anyways. TIS, I'm staying by at your place again okay ?"

TIS : "hold on.."

F Rover : " Why ? "

TIS : "Just wait a minute"

---a minute later---

Y Rover : "So ?"

TIS : "Okay. You can stay"

Y Rover : "Great ! I'll help you search it"

TIS : "Gladly"

F Rover : "Hehe"

TIS : "Oh come onnn"
