19. At the home of Lady Maldu, Anun runs up to her home suddenly saying, "Lady Maldu? The kirin has been stolen!" 

Lady Maldu quickly gets up saying, "what do you mean its been stolen? How could you let it go?" "Well, I check on it everyday, and I was going to give it to Daylight like you said, but it wasn't there?" 

Lady Maldu looks around mid thought, then begins to say "Twilight..." 

"Twilight, you think he did this?" 

"I caught him that day, after we finished talking, he must have heard about it, and now he's trying to use it for something..."

"What's wrong with him!?" 

"That, we all know, I just pray he gets better, like I was just doing before you interrupted me." 

"I'm sorry, Lady Maldu." Anun bows to her, then as Lady Maldu makes herself tea, she begins to say "It's alright warrior, but you don't have to bow. 

"You are a queen back home? You still deserve such high treatments."

"But I am different here, I don't need to be treated as such, especially considering that you are royalty yourself."

"I understand." 

She drinks her tea then says, "Let's go track what we can find." 

"You are coming into my realm? I can track the trails and see if I can find anything myself? It's my fault for having it missing." 

"But, it is my fault for leaving it with you, I should have kept that here and given it to her myself and now, I must help you find clues of who stole it, before I false witness Takashi." 

"Right," he steps aside, "you can lead the way." 

...

They reach Afternoon's realm on the bright sunny day, letting the sunshine be a better way of finding clues. 

Afternoon reaches his gate saying, "Why are you staring at the bushes?" 

"The leaves were messed up," she feels them, "that's all, like a hole in between." 

"Maybe?" 

"No variables, Anun." 

"Right, let's keep going." 

They walk through the realm with Lady Maldu analyzing everything she sees, like a strong mother eagle, looking for her children's food from her surroundings. "Ah..." 

Afternoon turns around saying, "you see something?" "Yes, this is fur, navy fur, just like the fur of Maris..." 

"Maris's fur?" 

"Yes." 

She turns it around and holds it towards the sun, saying, "Yes, it's the exact the color and feel of it." 

"So..."

"Night is the one who came into your realm last night, and he must have stolen the kirin." 

"Why would he do such a thing, that..." 

"Hm, are you very angry now?" 

"Yes, he always wanders the night obviously, I should have known, he is always stealing stuff half the time." 

"Twilight does too, Anun, but you are right, he does, and I will speak to him about it." 

"Yes, but Twilight didn't do it?" 

Lady Maldu walks towards him saying, "Our meeting is still today, we will clarify this then, I will make sure." She backs up saying, "I wonder how the fur of Maris shed so badly, there are four pieces of his fur here." 

"Oh, it's going to shed even more soon..." He says angrily.

"Anun? Calm down now, we will handle this." 

"I will try my best to during the meeting." 

"And," Lady Maldu lifts her hand up, moving her finger, "Dae-mi will get the kirin she needs." 

Anun shakes his head saying, "I hope Twilight has nothing to do with this." "Oh, we will confront him too, now, come on, I need to get this inspected." 

"I'm following." 

Lady Maldu and Afternoon go back to her home, and wait until later to confront the warrior, or as of now, Night.
