~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Capital City Zenith, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~
~~~(Ti: 5:36 PM)~~~
I've been turning up every rock I can think to look under for the man I'm after, but nothing has co up. I know Kris Martim is Near Capital City Zenith, but it appears that he's not going to make it easy for more to find him.
My money says he knows I'm looking for him, and he's purposefully keeping away from . That or he thinks this is a ga, which is ironic.
"You look oddly familiar, young man... Have I seen your face before?"
The owner of the shop I'm in has been answering questions. And I figured the best way to find Kris Martim would be the ones who see the most faces and hear the most nas. However, it seems this man is better with faces than he led on.
He's already suspecting of being soone with a known face, and he's only able to see the bottom half.
"If you can get an idea that I'm a well-known person just from the bottom half of my face, then you know a man by Kris Martim. No sense in lying."
He said he's never heard of a man nad Kris Martim, and I'm soone who doesn't like being lied to. His deceit points to him knowing who and where Kris Martim is.
Just by looking at the reaction on his face, he knows I've trapped him. I'm taller than the man, and I don't like having to act like a bully to people like this, but sotis you have no choice. He's not an NPC Turned Player. And that ans I can threaten his life.
In an instant, I already have The Witness drawn and pointing at the man's neck. He takes a deep gulp and puts his hands up.
"Look... I don't know much about Kris Martim, but he's co into my shop a couple of tis to order things from outside The Kingdom... I don't have an address, and I don't know where he usually spends his ti... All I know is I always sll alcohol on him when he cos in..."
Always sll alcohol... He's a drunk? I've been under the impression that Kris Martim is so sort of God in disguise... It's even been hinted at... But this man is telling he's a drunk that cos in.
My disappointed aura seems to convey how I'm feeling, and the man takes an instinctive step back.
"I'm sorry that I don't have more for you, but that's all I know. I swear... From what I've seen of him, he's just a degenerate drinker..."
There are places where degenerate drinkers go to get drunk, and that's the nearest bar. But, I'm curious about one thing, and that's what the man gets from out of The Kingdom and shipped in...
"Tell what Kris Martim buys and has shipped into the Kingdom."
It's not a request, and the man pulls out a book from under his counter.
"He buys the sa thing every ti. See, look for yourself."
He shoves the book closer in an attempt to emphasize his point, and I tilt my head and find his na. It's true. He buys the sa thing every ti. And it makes further disappointed.
"Pure Fairy Cider? This is what he orders from out of The Kingdom?"
Fairy Cider is a drink that deceives. Despite claiming to be a cider, it's 100 percent alcohol. Not only that, it's rumored to be one of the sweetest and warst drinks a person can have. According to these records, he spends a small fortune on every order.
Now, where does a degenerate drunk get this kind of money from...
"I tell him it'll only get more expensive each ti, but he doesn't care. He cos in here with a bigger sack of gold than last ti."
So a virtually limitless supply of money and sohow still powerful enough to cause a problem for ... This is looking more like a front the man is putting up. It's a strange way to hide yourself... I'll say that... But I guess it's been effective so far...
I sheath my blade, and the man takes an audible breath of relief, but that doesn't an my questions are over with. There are still things I need to know about him.
"Since you're being honest with now, why didn't you just tell the first ti?"
He fixes his collar and wipes so of the sweat from his forehead.
"He pays extra to keep people off his scent if they co looking for him here. You're not the first to co investigating the man. But you're the only one I've told... Never had my life threatened before..."
That explains why he hid what he knew, and now it's ti for more important questions.
"What does Kris Martim look like? Describe his features the best you can."
I don't have a physical description of the man, and this shop owner has one. It's obvious math.
"Well, he's taller than most, around your height. He's got long curly dark hair and a big bushy beard. He slls of alcohol and wears ratty clothes. To be honest, he looks like a hobo, but the bars let him in since he always pays..."
Those are helpful features, but he sees fold my arms in the hope of better details.
"His most distinguishing feature is his eyes... One is Blue, and the other is Red..."
Now that is information I can work with. And I decide to leave so Gold on the counter. No sense in just leaving him nothing after that.
I make my way outside, and I now have a good idea of who I'm looking for. Soone with Heterochromia and the typical look of a drunk hobo...
It's funny how that's who I'm searching for here... I wouldn't have thought this is what the man looks like. I was expecting a powerful entity that would prove a challenge. But I shouldn't be counting victories before they happen.
I don't know what he's truly capable of, and from what I've seen. He's putting up a front. One that makes him the unassuming holess drunk.

~~~(Ti: 7:44 PM)~~~
I've been watching these unloading areas for hours, and nothing has changed. But I've learned sothing about myself in all this waiting. I'm a person whose patience runs out faster than she'd care to admit.
I've had to fight the urge to go down there and just kill until I find who I'm looking for, and I'm losing the willpower to stop that from happening.
And as I'm about to leave the rooftop and fulfill that desire, the gate leading from outside the city and into the city opens. And container after container is slowly brought in. And as I watch, I see a single container break from the group and travel down a blocked-off road.
That's the container I need to follow, and so I start running and jumping from building to building. I'm keeping my distance, but I'm also keeping it in sight.
After a good 5 minute ride, it arrives at a private warehouse and enters. This is where I need to be. I make my way over, and as I'm on the roof. I find a small window to look through.
There are several people in expensive clothes, and there is only one female in the room with the sa type of clothes. That must be Regelia.
I've found the bitch.
The woman who knows where my Father is and how I can find him. The traitor I'm looking for.
