P. O. E. T (1)

I know you guys missed me a lot, I'm your Master Narrator. Without me, you will be lost in the sea of Ard. Hmm, I do not want to say it twice but... I'm the best you got...!

Let's start the story from the last conversation between Clark and Patrick. Ahm, I guess they were talking about the First King (King Ma'la) Ummm..... Okay, fine!

Clark was worried after reading a file in the headquarters and he contacted Patrick, he tried to tell him about his problem but all the time he was making it typical to understand.

"Sir, why don't you just say it straight on my face like you usually do?" 'Long ago, when I was young like you. I faced someone... someone crazy, mad about experiments, totally a psycho.

He was trying to make something from the human blood, when we arrested him it was already too late. He almost killed 500 people to gather blood. When we asked him, 'what are your intentions?'

He simply smiled... and said, "I was about to make a sword but you assholes (officers)? You stopped me, I wasn't even close to 10 percent of my project."

Patrick shockingly asked, "What did he mean by that?"

'He aimed to kill more than 10,000 people to gather a massive amount of blood... ah hahaha... Sounds crazy but when we found the place where he was doing all these experiments we found a giant glass tank which could contain tons of blood and yeah, as I said he already killed more than the five hundred people, and the tank was filled up with their blood at that time it was my first time and the last time when I saw blood and this was the time when not just me but every officer who was included in this case, we all realized the value of blood and the relation between the two - blood and human.'

"Who was the team captain? You?" 'I was a low ranked officer like you are now, our Chief Deck Volt Sir was in charge. In my whole career I followed him, he is my only idol who taught me one thing, "following someone to know him, to copy is the thing which is just a waste of time because you forget yourself to become that someone." The best thing we did in the past as a team was that we successfully arrested that bastard, his name was Dr. Carvin Rakt.'

Patrick was wondering how insane that criminal was and he asked, "Why are you recalling it now? If it was a past then why do you seem so worried?" Clark looked at him, he blinked his eyes and point his fingers to the hill that is too far from them and said in a heavy tone, 'I am Clark Black, an investigator from a century is worried because he just realized how people start to follow someone but following isn't about to do same every time?'

"What do you mean!? I can't understand it... it... It's just out of my understanding, you don't know the way to explain and if you cannot do a simple explanation then I can't stay here with you sir..."

Patrick said and got up and started walking, 'Go, wherever you want but there's an end at the end of every path you decide to walk on, which is nowhere?' Patrick put his hand on his head and said, "Last time I asked you, aren't you making fun of me sir?" 'Do you think a joke may be long to talk about?' "I'm sure you're trying to teach me something important but believe me, I can only understand if you tell me the truth, not the riddles." 

'You want to know what the truth is? Then let me tell you from the beginning from where it started, do you remember the suicide case of Dr. Nicole?' Patrick quickly answered, "yes... I can't forget that case! How is this case involved with you?" 'Yeah, there's a sense. Why it's related to me and my past, recall when you found the post-mortem report of Nicole. It was said that blood was not present in his body when the body was discovered, then it seems as if he was living life but there was no movement-related to blood in his body.'

"And the same mystery happened with that hillside guy, so it's about those two dead bodies?" 'Not just two, it's already a thousand cases... Me...' "What...? A thousand cases?? You are serious about this... Sir?" Patrick interfered, 'You should listen to me carefully, don't interrupt me again otherwise you'll not understand and why are you still standing? Sit here.' "Yes sir."

'So, ahm... Me and Chief we named this mystery - No blood, no traces. But the question is why it's happening suddenly after a century and why don't we get a single trace of our suspect. I hope I can meet that man again.' Clark exhales, 'Haaa... but I don't even know if he is alive or not.' Patrick started to think now who's this guy so he asked, 'sir, if you don't mind can you tell me something about the guy you wanna meet again."

Clark stared at him and laughed, 'so you can't even sit silent? Okay, in our (Clark and Deck) young days we met an idiot, an astrologer, a beggar, and yeah... he was homeless. The one who always wanted to be an investigator like us but he was not qualified enough for this, we knew he is best with his abilities so we thought that he can be our secret agent who can predict the possibility of any case with his abilities. We are similar to each other, we have the only ability and its destruction. We are trained as warriors but he was not... he was fit for that job. We three together solved hundreds of cases. We were famous for our no mistake shut case policy. He gave a name to our trio - Predictors of destruction,' and one day when we truly needed the help of his ability he disappeared and made us use our destructive abilities to find him. We had almost killed every single criminal from everywhere but we failed to find him, the problem is that in the whole Ard he was the only guy with those special abilities and after so many years we started to believe in his death. Only he could answer the mysteries but anyway...?'

Clark started to see the pond and started dreaming again... I know that you are wondering what could be this guy now, but as I've said to you earlier this is the best way to tell the tale with good mysteries.

Patrick coughs to take him out from the dream, "Sir, you were telling something?" 'I was telling you something else? Yes, and these thousand deaths have occurred in just the past ten days and when we found the bodies, there was no blood inside them. Many dead bodies were not harmed not a single scratch but some were tortured endlessly. I cannot explain the picture of those torture carcasses, the one that is easy to tell was the corpse pierced with needles, it seemed as if someone had made those holes on his body one after the other to torture. There's no pattern of killing either that could give us some hints so we can find the suspect and the last thing he is not just killing men, we also found some women and children's dead bodies...' Patrick got goosebumps and in a hazy voice, he said, "even women and kids? What does this creature actually look like, is it a demon or a rogue?" 'Definitely a monster who's hunting and we can't do anything to save their lives for whom we pledged to give our lives. I am losing my faith...?'

"Sir, you cannot lose this fight already? You always say if there's no way to go then make a new one by yourself and it's time to apply your words on our current issue, do you forget already?' "I remember my words and I know the meaning but now I just want to escape from this mystery...' "You can't run away from reality sir, you're a part of this cycle..." 'Huh... You should go to headquarters, now I have nothing left to tell you about the secrets...' "If I go back to headquarters, you will also go with me and if you do not come with me, I am not going to leave you here for some reasons." 'You are stubborn like I was in my past but there's nothing I can do to save my people, my nation...?' "Okay, if there's nothing that we can do then why are we the saviors... we should kill ourselves if we cannot help...?" Patrick said to him in anger and hesitation.

It's already the time of sunset, the sun is slowly going off and the dim light of the moon starts to show its glimpses. After a while of continuously staring at the peaceful view of the park and the darkness of the depth of the pond...

Suddenly Clark's phone rang. It was the Chief, he accepted the call and said, 'yes...?' "Clark? It's an emergency, you must see the news immediately...?" 'What? what happened Chief?' Deck started to talk to someone else in his office, "no sir... I? I am trying to find it's not hard to find... Yes?" (beep) And the call ends... Clark - 'Wut? Damn, what on this world is happening?' Patrick asked Clark "what Chief was saying, sir?" 'Patrick came with me. You were right, it's hard to escape from the damn reality?' "Yes sir!"

They both leave the park and proceed to the HQ. On the way, they saw people were gathered in the streets, they were shouting but Clark and Patrick were in a hurry so they decided to reach headquarters first. Outside of the HQ other officers were staring at Clark with a suspicious reaction, He didn't care and knocked on the door of Deck's office. Patrick stopped outside of the room.

"Come in, Clark?" Deck said while he was reading an article on the internet, 'Why did you call me in hurry, is everything fine Chief?' He asked. "Look at this article, you'll get your answer." Deck passed his phone and he started to read, 'What the hell? I... I don't know how?' "You don't worry, I'm not blaming you. I know it's not your fault, can you please ask Patrick to come here too?" 'Yeah sure.' Clark called his name from inside and said, 'Patrick, now you can join us.' Patrick entered the room and saluted Deck. "We don't have time for formalities kid, you can sit with us," Deck said to him.

Clark to Patrick, 'the conversation between us while we were in the park, someone recorded that and uploaded on the internet, every little thing that we talked about the case, and now the people are against us. They're protesting against the law. Deck told me that Sir President wants to make a decision on it but he requested the President for some time so we can prove ourselves and our duty toward the Empire. But if we fail, will the President vanish our existence to make peace?' "And I don't want any negligence!" Deck said in a fury voice.

'But we don't even know what this creature looks like? How can we find him?' Patrick asked like there's no answer. "We both solved the world's best mysteries together, and now we're three we just need a strategy and I think Clark you already know who is good at this." 'Give me one hour, Patrick, you're coming with me, we have a lot of work to do...' Clark said and left the room and Patrick followed him.

Take care of yourselves, my readers !!
