Chapter 14: Jet The Hawk
A few hours later they reached Windhelm. Sonic and Shadow got off the two dragons, and Sonic looked at his partner.
"So, where are the werewolves?"
"There's one here, and I need to get in contact with him first." Shadow looked over at Sonic. "He doesn't know you, and definitely won't appreciate you knowing he's a werewolf."
"Why's that?"
"Because he doesn't know you."
"Makes sense. How are you going to contact him?"
"I'll go see if he's home."
He walked into town as Sonic looked at Shadic. "You want to come, or do you want to stay with the dragons?"
Shadic shrugged. "Not sure yet."
"All right. If you change your mind, we'll be in the city."
Sonic and Shadow left.
"I'll go see if the Dark Elves need any help," Sonic said. "Come find me when you're done."
The black hedgehog gave Sonic a nod and went to the house where his werewolf friend lived.
"It's Shadow," he said as he knocked on the door. "I need to talk to you."
The door opened a few minutes later. An anthropomorphic hawk stood there, and smiled. "I haven't seen you in a long time."
"It's been a while, Jet," Shadow said. "I need your help."
"With what?"
"My husband's brother, Manic, has been kidnapped by werewolves. He's a vampire. We're trying to find him but it hasn't been easy. The werewolves that kidnapped him are in league with a sorcerer."
"And you think I can help." Jet was silent for a few moments as he thought it over. "I've heard about it, but I can't help you much."
"Why not?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know much about it. Just that it's some new group and they tried to get me to join."
"New group? What new group?"
"I don't remember the name."
"Do you know anything about them?" Shadow asked.
"Not really. They've been recruiting werewolves and kidnapping vampires for something. They do think vampires need to die, but I don't know how much good knowing that will be."
"Do you have any ideas on how we could find Manic?"
"I think they said something about the mountains."
"Then we'll check there. Thanks, Jet," Shadow said.
"Always happy to help you Shadow."
Shadow smiled as Jet closed the door. He sighed and headed back to Sonic. When he walked into the Grey Quarter, it wasn't hard to find Sonic. He was wiping his mouth as an adult human hurried away after hissing an empty threat at him.
"Sonic! What happened?" He asked worriedly, running up to his husband.
"Just got into a fight with a jerk," Sonic told him.
"You have a bloody nose," Shadow said.
"It's fine." Sonic pinched his nose, hoping that the bleeding would stop. "How'd your meeting go?"
"It went well," Shadow said. "Jet said that a new werewolf group has been kidnapping vampires. They're in the mountains."
"So... to the mountains."
The two were about to walk out of the town when Jet walked up. "I've been thinking about our conversation, and I think I will join you," he told Shadow. "This kidnapping of vampires has caught my interest."
"Great, the more the merrier," Sonic said. "I'm Sonic."
"Jet the Hawk," Jet said, shaking Sonic's hand. "Nice to meet you."
"Hope you don't mind running around all the time."
"Not at all," Jet said, smiling. "I need to get out for a while anyway."
"Maybe we'll find some Word Walls while we're at it."
Sonic, Jet and Shadow walked out of the town. Jet's eyes widened when he saw dragons not far from them. Shadic was sitting beside Martin.
"Are those..." Jet started. "What are dragons doing here?"
"They're helping us."
"That's cool." Jet walked up to the two dragons, and looked at them. "Are they dangerous at all?"
"We are not," Martin said. "I am Martin Septim, and this is Frobranir. It is nice to meet you."
"Oh. My name's Jet."
The two dragons smiled.
"Are you one of dad's friends?" Shadic asked the hawk.
"You could say that."
Shadic smiled and walked up to him. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Shadic, Shadow and Sonic's son."
"Nice to meet you too."
"We're heading to the mountains," Shadow told the two dragons. "Can you take us there?"
"Sure."
The four anthros got on the dragons, and were soon heading to the mountains.
