Case 17 (Bloody Tides)

We found Timmy and the person that kidnaped her. And while he didn’t kill her and apparently didn’t even think about that, as him kidnapping her was only a test. But back to the beginning. Earlier this week Chubs and I investigated the poem. This instantly brought us to some rock formations in the middle of the ocean. These seemed corrupted, as they looked completely black with some red spots, like the rocks themselves were covered in drops of blood. We decided not to enter the place itself, as it gave of some weird energy, as if even the air was corrupted. After scouting a little bit, we decided it would be too risky to stay any longer, as something felt off. Afterwards Chubs gave me Snows head in hope that I could heal it enough to make that scar go away, which was in the scope of my abilities. It was also clear that this was a trap setup for us. I also know that someone or something was watching everything we did that day. On Sunday we came together with Iatros and Andre to get Timmy back. Chubs set up a teleport spell to the place, so the way over wouldn’t be a problem. When we arrived, we spilt up to cover both paths that presented themself. Looking back at it the way we split up wasn’t perfect, as I’m personally more of a healer and Iatros, who went with me isn’t really a fighter while Chubs and Andre are definitely two fighters. After fighting through some monsters that were definitely summoned by dark magic and doing some parkour we arrived at the altar. As an interesting side note, as soon as we set foot on the altar the moon suddenly changed to blood red. Chubs stayed behind to release the binding spells placed on Timmy, while we confronted the man behind it all. And looking back at some of the books I’ve read before, he fit the profile. Calm and collected, set straight on his target and nothing else, but with a determination not to let things get too boring. That’s why he kidnapped Timmy. To get us invested into his little game. And while what he does is honestly despicable, you’ve got to take what you get in this fight. And considering that he gave us an olive branch instead of picking up everyone with blood one by one, I take this as a win. We got Timmy back and we know why he does it. His partner, boss, or whatever promised him to get him back home, after killing those with blood to spill. What I still find disrespectful though is that he didn’t even have the decency to show up in person. Instead, he just possessed some armor to talk to us. After Chubs got rid of all the binding spells and he went away, we decided to leave this place immediately. Timmy now stays with Iatros for the time being as she doesn’t feel safe in her own home. As a last note, someone was watching us. And it wasn’t the murderer, as he talked to us directly. So that means that the one who left the cyan rose, and the murderer are completely different people. As I also need a name for him, I’ll call him Gin for now. E4 to E5
