Black Rose🌹

The Light of the Small Oil Lamp glowed in the Livingroom of the Apartment from the two Detectives,Rayen sat on the Couch in his Claws he held a Newspaper as he read the report about the accident in the Flower Store where Allera and Jackson had went to it descriped the Fight that had happend along with the report of Allera being Wounded badly as she was brought to the Hospital in Palora.
Suddenly a small Cup of Tea appeared in a small Flash in front of Rayen on the Coffe Table as he looked over to the Door of the Kitchen where Aveney walked in his Magic holding another Cup of Tea and a Folder.

"Well good Morning my dear Aveney by the way you look i guess that you havent exactly slept long have you?"Rayen asked as he gave Aveney a small Smile as he sat himself next to Rayen on the Couch putting the Folder on top of the Coffe table.

"Ughhh no i didnt sleep well at all this Night Rayen......i just send out the Letters and Flowers to the Hospital for our dear Allera,,from what her Guards could tell me she god hit badly....one of the Enemys managed to cut open her throad but her Armpr jewel safed her and she is now stable...."

"Sheeeshh the throad really.......im glad that she is Alive i really dont want to know what would happen if the Guards would have lost there Commander.."Rayen sayd as he held his Claw to is own throad for a second before taking a look at the Folder still laying on the Table.

"Say Aveney what is in this Folder...it looks like one of the older ones am i right?..."Rayen asked.

Aveney gave Rayen a small nod as he took a sip from his tea cup while Rayen pointed his Claws toward the Folder.
The Air in the Room filled with magic as Aveney lit his Horn as he puched the Folder towards RAyen who looked at him with big eyes as he realized the date on top of the Folder.

"Wow that... are those old cases you had before i became your Assistant....i really didnt think you still had a Folder of those how come that i dint see it in our small Office?"

"Well...mostly because i kept it in my bedroom.....and i thought about putting it away but i guess that you would want to have a look into it before so have fun reading...."

Rayen looked at Aveney with a wide Smile as he carefully took the old Folder into his Claws and opend it he was met with old cases that had been solved qiute a Time ago there where even some Pictures from older Newspapers one of them was a picture of the Two Royal Alicorn Sisters over in Equestria.

Entry One:
Date P.City 19.Eq
Case of a missing Foal.
The missing Foal was last seen in the Broklyn Street of Palora near the Old Pub.
Foal was found near the river Side alive but malnurished she apparently got taken by a Strange unicorn.
The Unicorn was arrestet in the Old Pub.

Rayen looked up from the Folder over to Aveney who had his Eyes closed as he took another sip from his Cup.
He gave a small smile from himself as he laid the Folder back down he would continue to read it later.
Rayen starred at the hall clock as he pushed himself of the Couch.

"Say Aveney i wanted to go to Dake today because as you know the Dear Blacksmith Lavenda said she wanted to look at my Prosthesis again to see if everything still works as it should sooo do you need anything from there i could get it for you if you need someting?"

"Mhm no not really thanky you Rayen besides we dont have any cases today so you can take your Time over at Dakea i will be here and work out our many other Folders..or maybe i read more about the teleportation spell from my spell book i did manage to teleport this cup to you but before i can teleport there will be still a lot of lerning....if there will be any new cases i will inform you."

"Thank you Aveney ohhh i know that if anypony can master a Spell like Teleportation heh it will be you."Rayen said as he gave a smile and a wink towards his Unicorn Friend who gave him a small smile back as he shook his Head.

**********
Rayen looked over the railing of the Sky Ship as it once again slowly descended over the Town of Dakea as soon as the Ship almost touched the ground Rayen took of into the Sky with his Wings right into the Town and up to the oh so know familiar Blacksmith Windmill.
He landed in front of the Store as another Customer opend the Door with a small bag in his mouth both gave eachother a small polite wave with a Claw/Hoove as the Pony walked down the small path away from the Windmill,Rayen opend the Door the small Bell signaling his Entrance.

Behind the Counter stood the familiar small Pegasus with his Emerald Green Fur and adorbale Pink Mane he was serving another Customer who had appeard to have ask for a small box of Screws and Gears,the Customer walked passt Rayen out of the Store as he himself finally walked up to the Counter loking over it as Patchy had his head down as he appeard to search for someting underneath the Counter.

Rayen looked further down but couldnt see what Patchy was searching for he didnt even seem to notice the Griffon standing over him.

"Well looks like you have a pretty busy day with a lot of Customer´s."Rayen laughed as Patchy brought his Head up a wide Smile sneaked on to his Muzzel as he almost jumped over the Counter at the sight of the Griffon.

"Heeeyyyy Mister Rayen how are...how come you are here....how can i help you?"Patchy smiled as he slowly catched his breath as he looked at Rayen.

"Ohh you know....im here because of the dear Miss Lavenda she asked me from last time if i could come in again so she can see if my Prosthesis still workes as it should can you tell me is she back in the Blacksmith Patchy?"

"Yeah yes she is of couse she is....i can bring you to her we dont really like it or allow it that Customers go into the Blacksmith but you are a special type of Customer in that regard so you can go...just give me a sec to close the Store it would be a break time soon anyway..."

Patchy closed off the Store with a small Sign on the Door saying that it was short break time and that they would be back soon with that out of the Way the two walked over into the Blacksmith the smell of Fire and Metal filled the Air and the sound of a Hammer was very noticable.
In the back of the Blacksmith right at the anvil stood the giant Earth Pony Mare,Patchy jumped up from his spot near Rayen as he happily flew over to Lavenda who immediatly looked up at the sound of Patchy´s voice.

"Hey Laven.....Lavenda our dear Customer Rayen is here for his Checkup.."

"Thanks Patch for bringing him over here ya really happy about that arent you?"Lavenda asked with a hint of laughter in her Voice as she gave Patchy a ruffle through his Mane.
She turned to see Rayen standing behind them.

"Its good to see ya Mister Rayen i hope that there weren´t any more Complcations with your Prosthesis Claw?"Lavenda asked as she walked over to her Workbench."If you dont mind i would love for you to move over here so a can take a look at ya Prosthesis alright ..."

Rayen placed his Prosthesis Claw on the Workbench as Lavenda took a small tool from under the Workbench as she slowly stardet to open up the Prosthesis.
Patchy flew next to the two with a wide excited grin on his face as he carefully watched Lavenda as she slowly and carefully looked at the Prosthesis.

"It seems like that everything is alright with youre Prosthesis but i would like a closer look so Rayen could you please take it off so i can take a deeper look without the risk of hurting you in the Pr
Rayen opend the holders on his Prosthesis Claw that held it to his Right Side of his Body with a hiss it came off as he laid it on the Workbench.
Patchy looked over to Rayen as he starred at the pretty giant Scar on Rayens right side wondering how he got it suddenly he noticed that Rayen was looking right at him with a smile and a raised eyebrow,Patchy snapped out of his stare as he turned slightly Red in his Face as he covered himself with his Wings.

"A...ah sorry Rayen i didnt mean to stare...."Patchy said as he slowly looked over his Wings.

"Heh dont worry Patchy its ok i mean it is an unusual large Scar so yeah...besides normaly it is covered by my Jacked and the Prosthesis so i dont blame you for looking at it."

"O...oh thank god...."Patchy let out a sigh of relief as he let his Wings tuck back to his Sides.
"But Rayen...if you dont mind me asking how did you even get this kind of Scar it must have been someting really Awful that had happend to you....."

Rayen brought his gaze back down to Patchy after he asked that question, he gave himself a small pat on the scared tissue with his still existig Claw as he let a small smile slide over his Beak.

"Well lets just say this scar came from my Old Life as a Criminal......i didnt see the Unicorn with the Steam Shotgun..."Rayen said as he put his Talon behind his Neck carefully scratching it.
Patchy looked up at Rayen with Big Eyes even Lavenda stopped for a second to process the Information Rayen just let slip from his Beak as she looked back down to the inside of the Prosthesis Claw.
Patchy continued to look at Rayen for a few more minutes as it came apparent that he wouldnt continue telling his Story,he stood up as tall as he could to look Rayen right in the Eye....well he tried but it didnt really work Rayen had to still look down at him as a Griffon he was naturaly Taller than a Pony even though Lavenda was only a few inches shorter than him but she was really Tall even for an Earth Pony...Patchy was the smallest in the entire Room even for a Pony he was born pretty small.
He brought his Hoove up to Rayen´s chest as he continued to look at him.

"Oh come on Rayen you cant just start a Story and not continue to tell it....please i really wanna know it now is sounds really interesting.."Patchy said as he poked Rayen´s chest with his small Hoove ruffeling his Wings.
Rayen continued to smile down amused at the small Pegasus trying to get him to continue talking as suddenly Lavenda´s voice sounded from the Side.

"Well Rayen now i really wanna know it to...i think you really have to tell the Story now.."Lavenda smiled as she closed the Lit on the Prosthesis.

Rayen now looked between the Two as he gave of a sigh putting his Talon to his Forehead he slowly lifted his Talon from his Face as the Two Ponys continued to look at him.

"Alright fine.....i guess i did start it heh......Well like i said it came from my Old Life i was a Criminal a Thief but the Type that hurt other Creatures or Ponys if i was caught......the Type that actively broke into Homes......it happend on one Night i was perched on a Roof as that Unicorn Mare came into view she had quite a few bits of Jewellery on her so it must have meant that she had money i followed her found out where she lifed.....as the Night took over and i was sure she would be asleep i opend one of the Windows of the House with a Claw..."Rayen stopped talking for a second as he looked up at the Two know starring at him with very big eyes.

He looked around the Room as he continued to Speak.
"I was walking through the Living Room opening many drawers and taking out many small Jewellery´s,Money and some other stuff as suddenly the Light of the Room lit up the Unicorn Mare standing in the Doorway of course as she saw me a Stranger...a Thief she began to scream....i launched myself through the Room as i trapped her one Talon holding her up the other held over her Muzzle to keep her quiet...i didnt even notice her Husband who i think was an Ex retired Royal Guard came running into the Room his Steam Shotgun held in his Magic...he aimed and.......took the Shot.....i let go of his Wife as i fell screaming the Shot was sent right through my right shoulder its power taking of my entire right Talon with it leaving me lie in my own blood and bone shards....."

Lavenda had her Front Hooves under her Chin leaning over the Workbench while Patchy now starred with an open Muzzle right at Rayen.

"Lets just say i dont remeber much i must have blacked out...no wonder with that kind of a Wound all i remember is that i awoke in a Cell my left Talon chained to the Wall my right was wrapped in Bandages as a Unicorn Nurse used her Magic on it of course as soon as she saw that i was awake she backed up calling out to the Royal Guards.....i know that i was held in that Cell for a week mostly to heal but also to await my judgment...as i was taken out of the Cell i was sure to be brought to Prison but i was brought into a Room and there he was sitting on that Table...."

Patchy looked up to Rayen who starred into the distance with glazed eyes as both he and Lavenda put two and tow togehter.

"It was Aveney wasnt it....who sat at that Table....."Patchy quietly asked as he continued to look up at the Griffon.

"Yeah it was him the most amazing Unicorn there is......i own him so much...he saved me that day he amde me an offer..to redem myself if i would work for him and help him i would not go to Prison.....i accepted not really thinking it would do much to me but know i justcant stand to be apart from him..."

Lavenda raised and Eyebrow while Patchy squeaked excidetly next to Rayen who had his Talon held over his Chest right where his Hearth is.

"Alright i see what is happening with ya Rayen you are having a crush on the Detective....."Lavenda smiled giving Rayen a wink.

"Huhhhhhh......yeah by all the Steam gears in the World i really do believe i have a massive crush on Aveney.....maybe even more than a crush.....i just have so much to thank him...i have a roof over my head i have Food, a place to sleep and even work so i can earn my own money...i changed and i got another Chance......i just...i love him...."

Patchy jumped up happily flying through the Air as Lavenda left of a chuckle.

"Well then i guess i should finish looking at your Prosthesis so you can return mhm.....unless you have someting else on ya mind?"

Rayen smiled as Lavenda closed the other lit on the Prosthesis Claw taking out one last tool as she took a final look at the tiny Gears suddenly she looked up to Patchy who immediatly understood the Look as he flew ove rto a back shelf with many Gears on it looking through the Boxes as he frowned returning to Lavenda.

"Uhhh mhmmmm dammit!"Lavenda brought her Hoove down on the Workbench as she brióught her other one up to her Muzzle Rayen looked at her with a hint of concern.

"Rayen im sorry it looks like we are all out of a special type of tiny Gearwheels that are of course needed for ya Prosthesis....it will still work but without it it will move much slower than the command you give it to them...i thought we had them but apparently not you wouldnt happen to have any ideas how to get them quickly right?"Lavenda laughted as she held her Hoove over her Eyes.

Rayen brought his Claw up under his Beak as he thought as after a few seconds a Idea indeed came to his mind.

"I think i do know someone he is a Friend of mine and i do wanted to visit him again i could go to him but what kind of small Gearwheels do you need Lavenda?"

"To be honest i would like to take a look at those things myself no offense...say could we come along if you visit that Friend of yours what even is he?"

"Oh he is a Merchant Pirate one of the Few that dont Steal and do the honest and legal Contracts with other Merchants the only problem is he would be in the small Sea side Town of Shores if you guys dont mind then we could take the Air ship to it tomorrow?"

Patchy landed with the small sound of his Hooves touching the Ground as he looked between the Two as his Eyes grew bigger with the Word Sky Ship and new Town,Lavenda looked over to him but she didnt even have to asked as Patchy nodded with big excitement.

"Looks like we have an agreemend well fine Rayen then we will travel to Shores tomorrow having one free Day from our Work probably wont hur either am i right...anyway let me put that Prosthesis back on for know."

"Heh yeah that would be good...then we will find each other tomorrow in Shores thats great i get to see one of my old Friends again......im curious if he is still like how i remember him..."
