(Moon, Tarmikos)
"Thank you" Johan released a bright smile:
"..Oh, musical instruments?" he looked at Moon, his eyes lighting up with excitement: "Would.. you happen to have a ... a violin?" he released a hopeful smile, before suddenly looking away:
"N-no.. no, I couldn't possibly accept a gift so generous.. its.. its too much" he looked at you with a small smile: ".. but, thank you for offering. Its, very kind of you.."
He waited another moment, as a bus pulled into the station and Johan got up from his seat:
"..we should take this bus, it will get us really close to the mansion" he nodded to you and started toward it.
The bus ride seemed long. For about 30 minutes, it drove through small streets of the city of Sanja. Inviting lights shined from the cafe's, the restaurants and colorful shops. The streets were becoming more crowded, even though the skies seemed like it was the dead of night.
A small radio was working next to the bus driver, its muffled sound faintly echoed across the half empty bus, as it drove through the streets:
"...- wwwwealcome back to Rhea55 news folks, coming up next, we'll be taking another in depth look at our so called 'Heroes of Adelheid'. Coming to you right now, is an interview from one of the Equestrian elite guards and his experience with one of our 'Heroes':
'Uuh... my name is Barry... I uhh.. work as an Equestrian guard, stationed in Canterlot... roughly one year ago, we received an anonymous tip, about a hideout that belonged to the cult of Uroburos. We mobilized and moved in to neutralize.
Um... once we breached the doors and engaged the cultists... that's... that's when I saw her...
U-uh... I'm sorry... its still difficult to talk about... the .. the nightmares didn't stop... u-umm...
So, as we were trying to arrest the cultists, I saw... Moon Dusts... just.. biting a man.. drinking his blood... just... sucking it right out of him... it.. it was horrifying.... so cold blooded... she's... she's a monster!'
Thank you Barry, and we are now back to the studio. I must say, that shocked me quite a bit. Cold blooded, merciless acts of unnessesary violence. Immoral, monstrous and unhinged behavior. Is there any question, why such individuals sat fire to a whole city? I'm surprised they didn't do it sooner.
For those joining us right now, we've already proven and showed extensive evidence that the organization known as 'DarkTech' was sponsoring terror groups across the world, and the one leading the company is an individual called Tarmikos.
Apparently he also acts as a hitman, since his services can clearly be bought, to do horrific acts like burning down an Artemis city.
Unbelievable.
Join us again at five, when we'll be taking an in depth look at Captain Kaylee Brown and her possible drug addiction. What happened when she was sixteen? Why was the entire Ponyville police department involved? And was she affiliated with the drug gang that ran rampant in the streets of ponyville at the time.
All this and more, coming up next, as we Expose the Real Heroes of Adelheid-...."
The radio changed to some musical tune.
Johan didn't seem to notice the broadcast, as he quietly sat next to you, leaning against the busses window. The ride seemed to have lulled him to sleep and he was peacefully napping.
After a few more minutes, the bus pulled a sharp stop and Johan woke up, slightly jolting:
"O-oh.. we're here..." he said, getting up and motioning you to follow:
"...just a small walk from here, through the fields and we should reach the mansion" he gave you an encouraging smile.
As you step out of the bus, an endless countryside opens before you. The city with its busy streets left behind, the night air was clean here.
More potato fields seem to pop into view, the moment the city streets ended.
"..shall we?" Johan asked with a smile and started toward the country side.
