~Gipsy Hill Police Station~
The office was such a mess that you could find papers everywhere.
The people had bags under their eyes.
Some of the people were sleeping on their desk while the rest were smacking their heads with their hand looking at the piles of paperwork in front of them with a dejected look.
Across the room, you could find two men who seemed to be fine. These two men were Jack and David.
Jack sometimes looked at the people in the room with a smile showing the pleasure he is getting from watching them.
On the other hand, David was going through papers not paying any attention to the man in front of him. He seemed to be completely absorbed in the papers as he didn't look away from them.
As time went on, David has finished the papers he was going through and looked up towards Jack "We need to get more information, let's go and ask around of someone knows of the new group in town" he said and put down the papers in his hands, this made Jack look away from the people and look at him.
"I am sorry what did you say?" He asked as he showed he didn't listen at all, this made David frown and look at the people Jack was looking at, with a sigh he looked back at Jack "Why are you teasing them, just because we got the easy job doesn't mean you can show off to them. They have to find whoever killed so many people. On the other hand, we only need to get more information about the new group" David said and put on his jacket, this made Jack confused as he still didn't know what David said a while ago.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he looked at David.
David didn't listen and turned around while gesturing with his hand to follow him.
Jack stood up and followed him, he still didn't know where they were going but he looked satisfied.
When they left most of the people in the office started to curse them in a low voice. Most of them thought in their heart 'Why does the best team get the easiest jobs, this is something they should be doing not us!' but know matter how they thought that the papers in front of them didn't get any lower.
~Berners Tavern~
David went to the only place where he could get information that the police could not get on their own, after stepping out of the car he took a deep breath and looked at the tavern.
From the outside, it looks cold, horrible and dull. Stacked boulders and hard wooden beams make up most of the building's outer structure.
It's hard to see through the small, stained glass windows, but the ominous atmosphere from within can be felt outside.
As you enter the tavern through the old, wooden door, you're welcomed by a coldness and the sound of the wind outside.
The bartender is staring at nothing and makes no effort to acknowledge your presence.
It's as dire inside as it is on the outside. Rounded, wooden beams support the upper floor and the rows of small, broken lights attached to them. The walls are covered in cobwebs and any decoration that does hang there is now unrecognizable.
The tavern itself is almost completely abandoned. The few people inside appear to be dangerous in a way or another, but whoever they are, you begin to fear for your safety, it's probably best to find a different place.
Put David knew despite how this place looked and was, this was the best place to get information.

The smell made David and Jack uncomfortable as they step inside the tavern. Jack looked at David "Why did we come here?" He asked, he still was not told as to why they came out of the police station. David walked over to the bartender ignoring Jack's continues questions.
"Is Zoro here?" David asked and the bartender looked up from the paper he was reading and looked at Jack with a frown "A cop?" He said in a low tone but this didn't escape David's ears but he ignored it, the bartender pointed to the back of the room and looked down on his paper ignoring David again.
David made his way to the back of the room where he found a man with silver, frizzy hair tight in a ponytail reveals a long, sad face. Shining green eyes, set well within their sockets. A fire has left a mark reaching from the bottom of the right cheekbone, first running towards thin lips and ending on his right cheekbone.
There's something misleading about him, perhaps it's his looks or his reputation but people tend to find that something is amiss as they look at him.
This was Zoro, the man David was looking for. As David closed in Zoro looked up and when he laid his eyes on David a smile could be seen on his face as he laughed while putting down the book he was reading "I knew you would come to me at some point they always do" He said and this made David frown, David didn't reply and just sat down, he knew if someone knew something about anything it would be this man.
"I want you to tell me about the new group who have taken over the streets of London, it's hard to believe that all the gangs in London have just gone and broken apart like that?"
Zoro looked at David with a smile before he showed David that if he wanted answers he had to pay with hand gestures, seeing this made Jack angry but David stopped him from doing anything and took out £20 note and handed it to him, Zoro took the money and looked at David "You right the gangs didn't break apart, there is indeed a new landlord in the city and this landlord is far more powerful than you think"
"And? Who is this landlord?" David said as he frowned, Zoro yet again made the hand gesture for money and made David give him another £20 note.
"All I know is that whoever this is, he is a ghost he comes and goes without anyone seeing his face or how he looks like, he made everyone bow down to his boss and if they didn't, you know what happened to them" Zoro said as he put the £20 note in his pocket.
"Hold on are you telling me that there is someone above this person?" David asked while showing a confused expression, this made Zoro smile again as he asked for more money, this was the last straw for Jack as he lost his composure and slapped his hand on the table and dragged David away from the table.
They went out of the tavern and David was startled as he asked: "What are you doing?" He asked Jack "Why are you feeding him money like that, don't you know the more you give him the more he will ask you!" He yelled and yet again David was startled "Do you know him?" He asked and Jack only gave humpf sound and walked to the car and got in. David looked back at the tavern before letting out a sigh and going to the car.

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.
