It all start when the Saturdays, a family of two secret scientists and their daughter and son, come to a small kingdom after hearing of a cryptid spotting. Their airship landed, and they exited off into the kingdom. It was sunny, not a cloud in the sky, and the entire kingdom was bustling. People smiling and greeting each other, music in the square, and the large stone castle standing proudly behind it all. However excited as Doc, Drew, and Zak were, Doyle seemed distant and unhappy to be there. "Whoa!" Zak smiled excitedly. "This is so cool!"
"Solaria is such a beautiful place." Yosdel, their older daughter, smiled as she ruffled Zak's hair a little. "Now, what exactly are we looking for?" She asked as Doc pulled out a small device.
"Not sure… it sounds like, from the description, we're looking for a volare lepus." Doc read through the report. "But as I recall, that species has been extinct for years."
Drew tilted her head and thought about it. "Well that's strange…"
Suddenly, they heard screaming, and got ready for a fight. "Ahhhh! It's gonna kill me! Help!" A boy, looking about seventeen screamed loudly in fear as he ran past.
"Get back here, you jerk!" A red headed girl, about the same age zipped by, gripping a bat in her hand.
They were gone in a matter of seconds, and Doc mumbled, "Nice kids…"
"Come on boys, let's keep moving." Drew said gently, as they walked further into the streets of Solaria.
After another hour went by, and no leads came up, they were about to give up. "I think I can help you lose causes." They flinched and turned to see the same young girl from earlier, a slight smirk upon her face.
"What do you mean?" Yosdel frowned slowly, crossing her arms.
The young girl rolled her eyes and sighed. "Don't play dumb with me. That 'strange' cryptid that you're looking for… here's some news for you. It's not here." She clapped her hands together. "You're welcome."
Drew looked at her and Zak asked in shock, "What do you mean it's not here?"
"Simple. Cryptid. Does. Not. Live. Here." She said as Doyle grunted and kicked a can.
"Well wasn't this just a great waste of time." He muttered as the others stared at him silently. "A waste of time coming to this place…" There was a sad look upon his face as he looked at the sky.
However, the sad moment didn't last long. The young girl interjected, "What's his problem?"
"I… I don't know." Drew whispered faintly as she, Doc, and Zak followed after him.
"Well… you guys have fun! I gotta go!" She ran off quickly as Drew chased after Doyle worriedly.
"Doyle! Doyle wait!" Drew called out as he continued to walk, not listening to them. "Doyle! Please… tell us what's going on." She begged as he turned around, his eyes watering.
"It doesn't matter." He said simply. "It just… doesn't matter… Okay? Can we go please?"
Drew sighed sadly and hugged him gently. "Doyle… whatever it is… you know you can tell us. We're your family."
That word caused Doyle to flinch. The only thing that escaped his mouth, was the faint word, "Family…"
