Were it not for them, he'd be uncomfortably hot, and stuffy right about now. Every guard in the town that wasn't currently on patrol was gathered in the largest of the station's briefing rooms at the moment, and with good reason.
A week ago, a group of children went missing after they went to play in the forests around the town. That night, the parents of one of the children went to look for them, and never returned. The guards sent to investigate found a strange cave in the forest that was not on any of the maps of the town, and it's surrounding area. 5 days ago, Wattzis' partner, Nar volunteered to investigate said cave, and he has not reported in since.
"Guard Kazunah entered the cave with a weeks worth of supplies. That means he has only two days of supplies left, if he still lives." Says Lieutenant Spellsword. Her voice is low, and grim, just like the mood of those in the briefing room. "And that also means it's unlikely any civilians inside are still alive either." Captain Tower Shield adds, lamenting. Wattzis didn't think the mood in the room could get any darker, but it just did.
A silence falls over the room. The Lieutenant looks over every face in the room. It looks as though she needs to speak, but doesn't want to. Beside Wattzis, his old friend, Wild Fire, rises from his chair. "Then, we'll need to send someone in to rescue them." All eyes in the room fall on him. "I volunteer." Just as suddenly, Wattzis rises beside him. "I'll go too! Nar is my partner, and thus, his well being is my responsibility!" He says that, but in truth, he cares more about Wild Fire's well being than he does his current partner's. To this, the Captain glares at the two.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes sir!" The two guards shout in unison.
"Very well..." The Captain replies, in a somber tone. "Requisition any supplies you may need. I recommend two weeks worth for yourselves, and extra, in case you locate any of the missing persons, or Guard Kazunah." The two salute in understanding. Before they turn to leave, the Captain makes a last, chilling statement. "We will not send anyone else in after you. If you are lost, you must find your own way back. We will not risk any more lives in this endeavor." With that, the guards are dismissed. #rp
