It's About Time We Flew Solo

**It's About Time We Flew Solo** was the sixth episode of Mythvivor: Greek Islands.

## Story

The castaways were surprised by a pretty early merge, only facing two tribal councils at the swap! The two tribes returned, with the original Artemis tribe worried about the prospect of a Pagonging in which they'd be taken out one-by-one, as only Glitter, Mars, Parker, Thicc and Yekaterina remained in a group of twelve.

> *And our side I think is gunning for Ross. I wanna work with whoever has the numbers so it’s sort of difficult to tell. I’m gonna be able to work stuff out after this vote if we don’t get pagonged anyway.* - Glitter
>

Alliance after alliance was created as the castaways scrambled to keep themselves safe come the first vote. The 7 Apollos formed "Mall Cop 2: Granny Hit Scene" as they had planned to vote out an Artemis at the first merge tribal council, while the 5 Artemis created the "Artemis Hoes." Thicc managed to work himself into a cross-tribe alliance with Evan, Steven and Parker, securing himself a position as an intermediary between the two dueling sides. Steven and Thicc were on the outs, but were both willing to link up with the 5 Artemis members as well, forming alliances with the core group of 5. At their merge meal, an advantage was hidden which Steven quickly found which would allow him knowledge about the advantages or idols another castaway had in their possession. Back at their merge camp, the 12 castaways were tasked with coming up with a name for their merge tribe, something fitting for a season inspired by Greek mythology.

> *Why don't we just call it the Apollo tribe again?* - Aidan
>
>

> *Ok guys how about us being the Dionysus tribe and we do a bright reddish pink color?* - Ross
>
>

> *Party god for a party tribe.* - Ace

For their first challenge, the castaways were randomized into groups of 2 and tasked with spotting the differences in photos only using text or voice-chat, which Parker and Steven won in a blowout, solidifying the two of them as contestants who could excel in later merge challenges. Ross played his advantage on himself to determine how many votes would be placed on him leading up to tribal council, secure that he'd only have 4 votes against him, while Thicc was working on playing both sides and Yekaterina tried to act like she was left out of the loop.

> *I don't trust Thicc to be voting with us buttt who knows.* - Glitter
>
>

> *I'm gonna play dumb, but I don't care how they take it, whether they buy it or not or whatever some sort of feeling about what I said. This is just the beginning of me fucking with them and I'll continue this until I get voted out LOL.* - Yekaterina

> *Ross also used an advantage that allows him to see how many people are voting for him at any given time, which will be useful if they're actually voting for him because we'll be able to see how many people are against us.* - Aidan

With Ross confident that there were only 4 votes against him leading up to tribal council, it looked as though the Apollo target, Glitter would go home, but at tribal council Yekaterina played an idol correctly, negating all 7 votes.

> *I don't really care about this idol, tbh I should have just gotten a steal vote cuz that seems so c\*nty. So as much as I don't like this idol... I do love myself very much and I do love the people I'm allied with so with that said I AM PLAYING THIS ON GLITTER.* - Yekaterina

Ross, knowing that he was guaranteed to go here began asking for help from his allies, none of whom were willing or able to. The vote was clear, with Ross going home 4-1 after Parker placed a stray vote on Jess in case she had an idol, making Ross the first juror at this merge. If Thicc spilled the plan to Yekaterina, could that help the Artemis 5 moving forward? Will tribe lines dissolve?
