[PANOPTICON, THE ARCANUM]

Sayori: “Wow…Mirage was…quite sandy. Even sandier than Krokotopia.”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Well, it was called Mirage for a reason.”

Sayori: “AAH!!! Trixie, what did I say?! Stop scaring me like that!”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Sorry, sorry, I just couldn’t resist. But you’re right, Mirage definitely has a unique charm with all its sand and secrets. It’s like a desert paradise filled with mysteries waiting to be uncovered.”

Sayori: “Yeah…at least we’re back in the Arcanum now.”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Indeed. The Arcanum is a place of great knowledge and power. We must continue our studies and unlock even more secrets of the Spiral.”

Sayori: “I’m excited to learn more about the lore and history of the Arcanum. There’s still so much to discover.”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Yes, and with the guidance of the Panopticon, we will surely uncover the answers we seek. But first, let’s see what our scholar, Jaki Whisperwind, wants. Let’s head to the Hall of Sorcery and see what new tasks she has for us.”

Sayori: “Sounds like a plan, Trixie. Let’s go!”

[HALL OF SORCERY]

Sayori: “Jaki Whisperwind, we’re back! What new tasks do you have for us?”

Jaki Whisperwind: “Hey, Wizards, great to see you! Thing is, the Opossum pet eggs I brought here all the way from home are missing! I’ve looked everywhere, but I can’t seem to find them! Librarian Fitzhume’s great at knowing things. Can you ask him i he’s seen anything suspicious?”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Of course, Jaki. We’ll go talk to Librarian Fitzhume and see if he knows anything about the missing pet eggs. Let’s go, Sayori.”

Sayori: “Onward to the Library!”

[LIBRARY]

Sayori: “Librarian Fitzhume, Jaki Whisperwind sent us to ask if you’ve seen anything suspicious regarding the missing Opossum pet eggs.”

Librarian Fitzhume: “Hmm…now that I think about it, the old janitor, Tezcatlipoca - the odd fellow from Azteca - recently raised my suspicions. I often saw him lingering around the Hall of Sorcery when he shouldn’t have been. Then, he up and quit! I was too busy about keeping the Arcanum clean to focus on the large satchel he was carrying.”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Tezcatlipoca, huh? Well, looks like Azteca is our next destination. Thank you, Librarian Fitzhume, we will look into this. Sayori, let’s go find Tezcatlipoca and see if he knows anything about the missing pet eggs.”

Sayori: “Right behind you, Trixie. Let’s solve this mystery and retrieve those pet eggs!”

[THE ZOCALO, AZTECA]

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Rats! He isn’t here!”

Sayori: “Maybe we should try that entrance to that nearby cave?”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Good idea, Sayori. Let’s check it out and see if Tezcatlipoca is hiding in there. Stay alert, though. Azteca can be quite dangerous.”

[TEZCATLIPOCA’S CAVE]

Tezcatlipoca: (speaking to one of the Opossums) “Who’s a handsome Opossum? That’s right! Yolyamanitzin is a handsome Opos-”

Sayori: “Tezcatlipoca, we found you! We’re here to ask you about the missing Opossum pet eggs.”

Tezcatlipoca: “Hey! You can’t just barge in here! Who do you are?! Wait…I know you. From the Arcanum. You’re one of the Wizards from the Panopticon. What do you want with me?”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “We’re here on behalf of Jaki Whisperwind. She’s missing some Opossum pet eggs and we heard you may have something to do with it. Do you know anything about them?”

Tezcatlipoca: “Sorry, but the Opossums are mine now! Yolyamitzin and I have bonded! I’ve even trained him - in combat! Come see for yourself!”

Sayori: “That’s not right, Tezcatlipoca! Those pet eggs belong to Jaki Whisperwind. You can’t just take them like that.”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “We must retrieve those pet eggs and return them to their rightful owner. Sayori, let’s defeat Tezcatlipoca and free the Opossums.”

[BOSS BATTLE: TEZCATLIPOCA]

Tezcatlipoca: “Enough, Wizard! Stay your hand! Sweet Yolyamanitzin is a cuddler, not a combatant! But…I’m still not finished-”

???: (furious, draconic roar)

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “That…sounded bad…”

Sayori: “Oh no, what was that?! Trixie, we need to be careful. Let’s investigate and see what’s causing that noise.”

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “Agreed, Sayori. Let’s make sure to stay on our guard as we explore further into the cave. We must uncover the source of that roar and put a stop to it before it’s too late.”

[DEEPER INTO THE CAVE]

Mutant Quetzal: (furious, draconic roar)

Trixie Sphinxeyes: “
