Mauno showed Ammy his room, which had a large Staraptor on the bedspread. He turned to her. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to talk to Alwin about Zalix and the others." He found Alwin after about twenty minutes of searching. "I know where Zalix and the others are. They found the guy who made the teleporters." Alwin seemed glad. "Brilliant! Now, has he told us anything useful?" Mauno's expression went serious. "Alwin, they found him with a massive hole where his heart should be, and a threat note soaked in blood... stuffed into the hole." Alwin seemed genuinely scared. "Wh-what could this mean." Mauno scratched his chin. "It means... someone got to him first. Someone who didn't want him alive. But why?"
"Perhaps they held a grudge?"
"No, no, a grudge would be, perhaps, a simple stabbing, or maybe a gunshot of some sort. But tearing out a vital organ?"
"Perhaps... maybe," Mauno beat Alwin to it. "He knew something important. Something this... 'person' didn't want anyone else knowing." Alwin seemed shocked. He took out his teleporter. "What's this place called 'Elemana' anyway?" Mauno shrugged, and flashed to Elemana. He flashed back soon afterwards. One wing was scorched, and the other encased in frost. Mauno winced. "A place where people tend to attack first."
