The authorities burst in through the door, and pointed their guns at the two, "don't move" one shouted, while two beyonders from the church of Evernight slowly moved forward.
The first one was a sequence 7 nightmare, the moment he stepped in, he scanned the place and his eyes landed on Vessal first, he was still laying on the ground, barely conscious, then he looked at Elias, and his eyes narrowed slightely, he was the same person he was sent to investagate back in the 'dead hunter incedent', the same man whos dreams were void.
Elias was just standing there, both arms raised, he looked safe for now, the nightemare then signaled to the policemen to move and secure the suspect, while he walked towred Elias. Following close behind was the second beyonder, she was a young woman with short balck hair and curious brown eyes, she was shorter than the beyonder before her and looked like a child, but she was definatly taller than Xio.
As they got closer to him, Elias was relaxed and didn't rush to lower his hands, "I assume my friend informed you as I asked" he said calmly, it was a neccessary first step to inform them in order to avoid any escalations.
The nightmare, now standing before him, looked at him in silene for a second before he answered "they did, we recieved further information about the situation from other links, so I understand your rush for the pursuit" he said, nodding for him to lower his arms as he retreived handcuffs "It's a good thing that you informed us, but you shouldn't have engaged him in battle."
Elias slowly lowerd his arms for the beyonder to fix the cuffs "fights between unregistered beyonders aren't really legal, you know" he said at last, with the handcuffs in place, he raised his head to look at him again waiting for an answer.
"I didn't really mean to fight him at first, I was going to wait, but he was about to get away, so I thought I could at least try to stall him" Elias answered with a genuine expression, "the worst that could happen is I get injured by the time you get here" he said while raising his hands and examening the restraints on his wrists in amusment.
He then looked to the side, at Vessal who was now restrained by the police and led outside "I didn't think it would turn out this well"
The nightmare took a few second, contemplating the situation and calculating his next step, before turning to address his subordinate "Nifa".
The sequence 9 beyonder called Nifa answered enthusiastically "yes, Captain"
"Accompany the police officers and help escort the suspect Vessal for interrogation, and stay on guard, he's still dangerous" he gave the orders, like a captain should, but he still showed a level of concern toward the young beyonder.
"Don't worry captain, divination says, the danger is low on this one, I can handle this" she answred like a child proud of a good work, all while dangling a purple divination pendulum that had some faint golden artistic runes on the crystal.
Elias just smiled at the scene, before following behind the church beyonders.
The trip to the interrogation centre was uneventful, Vessal surprisingly didn't cause any trouble on the way, considering he was alone in a carriage with normal policemen and a sequence 9 unexperienced girl.
'But that's to be expected,' Elias thought. 'When you have a nightmare in a carriage close behind, the guy was probably put to sleep all the way here'
Soon they reached a police station, both carriages came to a stop, and the church's senior beyonder stepped out with Elias behind him, and Nifa did the same from the first carriage "Nifa, lead mr Nova to the interrogation room and wait, I'll take the suspect to the base for a more thourough questioning"
Nifa just noded and Elias followed behind her inside the police station.
Elias was put in a small interrogation room with a small table in the middle and two chairs, they removed his handcuffs, and Nifa was waiting outside the room for further instructions, they didn't need to wait too long, it only took a few minutes for the others to arrive, inside the small interrogation room, the door slowly opened from the outside, the nightmare had returned and brought with him a companian.
"I apologize for the late introduction, Captain of the nighthawks, Remus Edor, this my coleague, she will be responsible for conducting the interrogation"
From behind him walked the renouned Spirit Medium of the Evernight church "pleased to meet you mr Nova, the names is Daly Simon, we don't want to waste your time or anyone elses, so we will make it quick, I hope you will be cooperative." she said calmly with a formal smile.
Elias returned the smile in courtasy "good to meet you two, if I can provide any help to your investegation, I will, so please take a seat"
Daly took the seat in front of him, while Remus stood by the wall observing.
"Before we start I must tell you how this will go" she explained "I am what you call a Spirit Medium, I'm sure you must be familiar with the term or maybe have a general idea of how the process goes giving your family's history, me and Remus here will do our best to try and make the least uncomfortable as we can, just answer to the best of your knowledge , and don't try to resist it."
Elias didn't waste much of their time and just noded "do what you must".
As soon as he said those words, Remus on the side activated his power and his eyes turned dark, Elias was instantly put to sleep.
He opened his eyes in a daze, he felt as if he was in deep water, and the pressure on his spirit body was slowly receeding, eventually he was again seated in the same chair, but this time he was in a strange place that resembled an island, surounded by water.
His mind was too unfocused to realize that they were inside his mind.
"Oh, this is new" he heard a voice in front of him, it was Daly, back on her chair before him in this place. "You were right Remus, his mind is different, it's like... incomplete"
She relied on Remus' power of sleep inducement to conduct the spirit channeling, it wasn't the safest option, but it wasn't the worst either, plus this method gave Remus a chance to answer some of his questions as well.
"Why don't we start from this" her attention returned to Elias and asked "what's the matter with your mind and dreams"
Elias was mostly operating on the subconscious at this point, he heard her voice echo from all directions, and it took him a second to answer "family records differed, some say it's a blessing, others called it a curse"
He stuggeled to meet her eyes because of all the work the two beyonders were conducting in his head "myths tell of an entity that had once wounded the connection between our minds and dreams, leaving us Dreamless".
Remus' eyes widend slightly, as if he had just realised somthing, and turned his attention to the dream bublle above the island of consciousness, and he tried to touch once more with apparent interest.
Meanwhile Daly continued the interrogation "Fascenating, I would like to know more about this, but let's focus on why we're here, since when did you know of Vessal's plot, and what was the reason of you pursuit".
Elias had just regained some clarity for some reason and he answered slowly "I had doubts about the credibility of his claims after a few meetings, and hired someone to look into him, when I came to collect proof on him by the investigator close to his residence, Vessal somehow realised what we did and was fleeing the scene, I chose to inform the authorities and follow him secretly in case they were late"
"I see, that's good then" Daly noded in thought "one last question, do you know anything about the recent murder of a beyonder in a back ally?"
Daly couldn't complete the details about the question when she felt a shift in the surroundings and took a second to focus her attention on the cause, Elias on the other hand had just fully regaind clarity, he grabbed his head in pain, Daly looked at him in concern.
"What are you doing" he asked, his eyes searching the place.
And in that instant, the scene from the mind world fracturd into a million pieces, and all three of them were thrown out.
"Aghhh" Elias sufferd the most consequences, with throbing pain invading his temples, Remus moved fast to support him "I'm sorry, I got carried away, the situation with your dream and mind is unusual, I couldn't help but look into it" he swiftly apologised.
The pain in Elias' head was recceding fast and he quickly stood up on his own "maybe give me a signal next time, the world of beyonders isn't really forgiving for those with too much curiosity, you know"
Remus scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"I'm sorry for any discomfort mr Nova, we got the answers we needed and you're free to go, we have also informed your parteners and other victims, the police should take it from here to settel the situation" Daly said "we would also like to have a seperate talk on your situation as an unregistered beyonder, but because of your coopertaion, we will talk about it elsewhere, expect a visit later"
"For now, we will take our leave, have a good day"
"Sorry to trouble you, have a good day" Elias returned the gesture and turned to leave the small room.
