It took quite a while to get there. He used teleportation pearls to get there faster and had to stop to sleep quite a few times but in the end, he had made it to the city's border. 
A city with wooden walls and shiny lanterns made it look like the most beautiful thing he ever laid eyes on.

He went up to the gates and no guards stopped him.

Walking through the streets he was in awe that he had never seen so many humans in one location. People talking, buying or walking home. It was only once in a while that he'd spot a hybrid.

He felt a tingle in his heart, I look like everyone here, he thought.

He looked at the wooden plack connected to his key.

Section A door 2001.

Not knowing where that was he asked a fox hybrid. He was standing by the side of the street with a hood on. Maybe the reason why he asked him out of everyone is because even if he was seeking people who looked like him to feel like he belonged he was accustomed to being around people who did not look human. Hence he went to him.
He had wild orange hair. Orange eyes and fox ears. 

"Hello, could you help me find my house?"

"Oh, I haven't seen you around you must be new here. what's your name?"

"Tom"

"Nice to meet you Tom I am Antok! Welcome to Maryland City!"

"Thank you Antok"

Billy took his key and began to read the address. "Let's take a look-"

Antok looked shocked as he read the address "Did you steal this key?"

"No, it's mine"

He narrowed his eyes "What's your connection to....The crow man?"

"Who?"

"The great myth, the legend that owns that house. Blonde hair, blue eyes and black wings"

It sounded like he was describing his dad. Antok's tone also sounds like he didn't like his dad so he lied.

"I was travelling, thirsty and hungry when I met him. I told him my destination and he offered me food and water along with this key. He said he had a home in this city which I could use in the meantime. Why?" 

Antok despite being 2 heads shorter than him wrapped his arm around his neck forcing him to crouch to Antok's level.

"They say that wherever that man goes Death follows, he is cold and deadly and his calmness gives you the creeps. His son is the feared being called Tactzo. He is a great enemy of our city! Murder is in their blood! People avoid them because meeting them is like meeting death themselves. Oh, and the crows! murderous crows follow that black-winged man."

He blinks, "Uh wow he sounds like a bad man, he didn't seem like it when I met him"

"Well he used to come around here but like I said death follows him so any time he would be here people would die more than usual. Also, he and his son have had an order of capture for over 100 years now"

His eyes widen "But why?"

"Our city was once destroyed by Tactzo and although Crow man wasn't there initially for the destruction of it he is still an enemy for his connection to that brute Tactzo. He did appear once or twice after the rebuilding of the city but no one dared to capture him but this current president we have is 100% sure he will capture both one day and make them pay for what they did to our ancestors!"

"B-But no one has been capable of killing Tactzo! don't you think he'll kill everyone here if your city attacks him?

The boy shrugged "I don't know everything about the governor's plans I only know of his public announcement."

By this time they were standing in front of a beautiful ancient home. Looked abandoned and untouched.

"It's the only house that survived the initial destruction of the city- Anyways you sure you want to stay here? What if you die in your sleep!!"

He looks at the key "But where else can I stay at?"

"Hmm not with me but I do have another friend who you might like. You can sleep at his place I'm sure he won't mind"

He looked a Antok "Really?"

"Yes! I like you and I don't want something bad to happen to you because you slept in.... This house"

"Okay, I'll go with you. But first, just let me do something" he placed the key underneath the carpet for his brother or father to find it.
"Okay, where do we go?"

"Follow me"

As they walked through the houses they came towards a large dark Castle. 

"This is where the King lives and works but it also works as a town hall" Antok explained.

they walked to the building next to it which looked like a greenhouse.

Antok knocked on the door and a very short boy opened his door. Ruffle brown hair, brown eyes and tiny horns barely could be seen as they were mostly hidden by his hair.

"Hey Antok! who is this?"

"Hey Billy this is Tom"

"Hi, Tom! come on in!"

They entered and he was in awe, the floor was dirt-filled with flowers and plants. The houses felt like a terrarium. It was an open-concept circular home. 

"So where did you guys meet?" Billy asked
"He came up to me asking for help in finding his home. He's new and guess what keys he has?"

There was a pause.

"The Crow Man's House"

"The crow man! so he is real! and I thought the legends were fake!" Billy said excitedly. He quickly turned to Tom.

"How did you you meet him? How tall was he? How long are his wings? Did anyone die around you? How did you survive? How-"

"Wow, wow slow down Billy! He's had a long trip and you are drowning him in questions! He needs a place to stay is it okay if he stays here with you?" Antok asked.

"Sure! You can sleep up there" He points at the bed that had vines for a ladder and what was nice about it is that it's close to the glass ceiling. He could easily sit up and watch the stars if he wanted.

"Thank you" 

He felt so excited. This experience was something new and it felt dangerous. He wondered what they would do to him if they found out his dad was Phill. 

He should probably send a letter to warn them but he just wanted to forget about his family for now. Right now he was just Tom, a traveller with no home, no friends and no family. 

After settling down, He answered Billy's questions, Antok said his goodbyes and he slept peacefully that night.

The next day he was awoken by Billy. "Come on wake up we got to go!"

"Where?" He asked sleepy.

"To make trouble"
