Forgotten Memories

==What happened==
Slimey and Courier both wake up in the prison in Forgotten Meadow, and hear Juniper walking towards their cells. Juniper then insults them, wishes they were dead and tells them she's gonna go prepare a ritual. At first, Slimey doesn't believe this whole scenario is real and is convinced its a dream, until Prime wakes up and tells him that it is. She also recognizes that the clothes they are wearing are sacrifice robes, and that if they don't get out of there they are gonna die. The three of them then figure out they can break part of the floor to escape their cells, and there is a large hole leading to another room. The three of them jump down into a flooded room with a ton of random debris and find an axe in the corner of the room that has a breakable surface in the floor again. The trio drops down into yet another area, which has four doors, one of which looks like The Watcher, and one that was initially hidden. 
They walk down a hallway and see three split paths, one that contained armor and weapons, a room full of essences in jars, and a labyrinth. The weapons room they obviously find, well weapons and armor and such, but they also find some weird mystery meat. Courier and Prime both try some, but Slimey refuses. They then go to the essence room and find out that the cult regularly harvested essences from people. Fun stuff! 
In the labyrinth, they find a ton of books all left behind from members of The Radiant Council. There is also a secret room that leads the gang to a wisp, which will be important later. They eventually find a door where they have to rotate some tridents into a certain pattern, which unlocked a door in a hole in the ground. Within the locked room, there was The Marigold Key, which opened the door labeled "DEEP STORAGE" in the room full of essences. 
Inside of the room was wall's of mostly emptied out storage containers, a huge tree in the center of the room, and a small floating island towards the ceiling. Slimey and Prime scale up the entire tree, and help Courier up with the use of water buckets. There were more books from old cult members, one of which mentioned "The Tree of Light" which is the same tree they've been scaling. They also found another wisp in one of the storage barrels. Upon reaching the top of the island, Slimey picks up a stone and suddenly are teleported into a small area which housed The Sunflower Key. They all get down from the tree head over to the weapons room once again. 
This door was labeled "FOUNTAIN OF TRAQUILITY" and sure enough opening the door lead to a giant fountain and a bigass axolotl monument (which was made as dedication to The Chosen One) carved out of the wall. At the back of the room is an entity known as The Seal Keeper, and there are nine pieces of the seal that are spread around the room. While searching for these pieces, Slimey and Courier have a conversation about them breaking into the lab, and Courier explains that he only wanted to do the right thing and uncover the weird messages sent by Olivia. They both decide to make up after clearing up the misunderstanding. They put the seal back together and enter a small room with a Hydrangea Key and a book. Instead of the book details an argument between Juniper and a Lily of The Valley named Nightshade. On their way out, Prime finds another wisp in the room and stores it with the other two. 
After returning to the room with The Watcher door, they use the three wisps to light a few candles in the room, which opens up a secret hidden door inside of the room. The trio decide to go investigate but hit another dead end with a locked door. On their way out, Prime notices that Slimey and Courier have flowers in their hair, a Nightshade for Courier and an Iris for Slimey. After that, they use the Hydrangea Key on the door labeled "CEREMONY ROOM". When they enter, there isn't a whole lot to it, just a big stage and a bunch of seats. However upon further investigation, they find two keys, one labeled Iris Key and the other Secret Key. They also find two pieces of torn paper from a Lily of The Valley by the name of Amaryllis, one that details the failure to manipulate Zakveyl's essence into The Council's image and the other written during Zakveyl's escape/murder spree, begging Gykallis to spare her life. They also shoot the crystals that are floating on the stage for shits and giggles. 
After that they go back to that hidden room and use that Secret key to unlock the door. In the room there is a long table with 13 seats on the sides for the Lilies of the Valley and a larger chair at the front of the table for Juniper. At Juniper's seat however there are a few strange items, a small trinket called a "Watcher Charm", a drawing of The Watcher, and a contract pledging her loyalty to The Watcher. Prime gets really uncomfortable so they decide to leave. They make a quick stop to the weapons room to grab some arrows before using the Iris Key to open the door labeled "PROJECT TESTING AND STORAGE". 
After entering the long corridor filled with smoke, they find a room with a sign in book with all the pages ripped out, and a warning book advising all personnel to throw out all keys leading to this area, unless they want to "face the wrath of Iris". The gang ignores this warning and continues. The next room was full of empty barrels and a few weird components probably used in magical spells. Moving on, was a room full of small things that The Council had collected over the years, which included an Eye of Ender, a collection of heads, an Echo Shard, a bit of LSD, and a Luxbloom. All of the documents for these objects had been badly burned and only a few of the words on each document could be read. They also find another room, which splits into two paths. One leads to a torture room complete with a ritual circle in the center. The other, housed a series of larger stored projects and miscellaneous builds. Almost all of the documents written in this room were created by a Lily of the Valley named Iris. 
The first project was described as the Vessel Converter, which converts a physical body's matter into magical matter. This converter seemed to see a lot of use before The Radiant Council moved out of The Meadow. The next was the remnants of a Fallen Star, who's power was used to give The Archway it's magic giving properties. There was also the original shrine that Juniper built in dedication to Gykallis which was moved here for preservation, and a model replica of the Meteor Crash Site (Note: the book accompanying the model was written by Bluebell, not Iris). While Prime and Slimey look through these documents, Courier finds a book of Amaryllis arguing with Juniper about a "Project Prime" which concerns Grape Prime, but she tries to shake it off. Things only get worse from here though, as the next project that they read about was an essence fuser, which also mentioned it was used for Project Prime. The final straw the broke the camels back however was the series of books detailing Grape Prime's creation, and Iris's disappointment in how she turned out. This series of events leads Prime into having a full on mental breakdown and runs away from the rest of the group. 
Courier finds the key to the last door and the two of them enter The Watcher Door. In the room there is a small room with all of their stolen belongings and they both suit up for battle. While they do so Courier realizes that the flowers in their hair correspond to a dead cult member, and that combined with the sacrifice robes meant that Juniper was dead set on bringing back Iris and Nightshade. They enter the room in front of them where Prime is standing in the center of the room, who is completely out of it. She tells them to leave, before attacking them both. Slimey and Courier beat Prime to an inch of her life, when she finally takes control once again. She briefly talks about how she can't go back home, and how she can't let the other grapes know the truth, and finally decides that they should get the fuck out of there. They all walk out of The Forgotten Meadow back to Farcombe where Slimey then asks if they all want to go have tea the next day, to which both of them agree. The trio all part ways for the night after that.
