## Prologue

### Opening Credits & Greece's Rude Awakening

The game begins in the night sky, before a flash is seen and a mysterious sparkle descends. The opening credits roll as the starry skies transitions to a bright blue morning in the country of Greece. The scene fades into Greece sleeping in his bed peacefully before a cat crawls up and scratches him awake. Now awake, Greece realises that he has slept in, and that Japan will be arriving at his home for a visit soon. While contemplating if he should laze in bed and sleep longer, the doorbell goes off, finally encouraging him to get out of bed.

### Holiday Hell

Greece answers the front door, expecting it to be just Japan. However, it is soon revealed that Germany and Italy are in town, and unable to go anywhere else for now due to Italy's mix-up. Reluctantly, Greece lets them in. Later on, Japan and Greece are discussing about going to see some ruins that have recently been discovered in the local area. Greece wants to show Japan before it is open to tourists. However, Germany, who's nearby washing dishes, insists that they all go together so that they could all engage in this 'educational' content. Greece is tasked with waking up Italy, who had decided to take a nap in the spare bedroom. After consulting Germany, Greece wakes Italy up by splashing a bucket of water over him. The gang soon leaves for the ruins.

### The Ruins

The four arrive in Greece's busted-up car, and walk up to the tourist info building. However, they discover that it is locked tight. However, Greece has a simple solution - jump the wall. Germany protests this blatant trespassing, but is soon convinced by Japan and Italy to just take a quick peek. The gang start to make the hike up the side of the mountains to the ruins, though Japan and Italy end up lagging behind a lot. While the pair go off to do their own separate things to recover from the hike, Greece decides to tour Germany around the ruins (after half-jokingly insisting that he receives payment for doing so.)

Greece and Germany eventually find ruins that are similar to The Monument of Eponymous Heroes, inspiring a discussion between the pair about the freedom of being a human vs. the confinement of nationhood. This escalates into an argument as they debate. Germany staunchly believes that being a nation is one of the most important jobs give to them, while Greece argues that they are forced to take these positions. Frustrated, Germany eventually blows up at Greece, criticizing how frustrating it is to deal with someone as lazy and unrealistically idealistic as him. The two part ways, with Greece looking visibly hurt.

### Japan and Greece's Talk

The Axis trio reconvene, only to notice that Greece is missing. Japan offers to search for him, and finds that he had travelled further up the mountains to more ruins. The pair of them sit together and talk it out while the sun sets. Greece mentions how glad he is to have Japan as a best friend. However, Japan does not return the sentiment, claiming that he doesn't have a specific best friend, rather, that he's friends with many people. One of those people being Turkey. Greece gets frustrated at this, and brings up the age-old argument - 'Do you like me or Turkey better?' Japan refuses to pick sides, and gently insists that he can be Greece's best friend, even if he's not his in return. Greece sullenly accepts this, though instead of heading back down the mountains with Japan, he decides to stay sitting for a little while longer to reflect. Japan leaves him alone with his thoughts.

Greece falls asleep, as usual, but is woken up when a green jade falls from the sky and strikes him on the forehead (the jade being the 'falling sparkle' in the intro cutscene.) When he picks it up to look at it, it's revealed to be a jadestone. Suddenly, 12 crystals appear out of nowhere and circle him. Before he can escape, a flash of white occurs, and in the next moment, Greece has fallen into an ocean. Stunned, he starts to drown. However, the silhouette of a mermaid approaches him as he passes out.

## PISCES

### Waking Up

There is a brief flashback featuring Ancient Greece, and a baby Greece cuddling together. As that fades, Greece wakes up, only to find Veneziano and Romano looking over him in concern. However, something is off about them... They're mermaids. Greece regains consciousness, and it is revealed that they are on a strange beach. Romano immediately darts away into the ocean, embarrassed. Greece tries to ask what is wrong with him, but Vene dismisses his concerns, asking about him instead. Vene congratulates himself at how much of a wonderful saviour he was for stopping a man from drowning. However, Greece is still feeling a little woozy. The two decide to meet inside the mermaid lagoon nearby.

### Ave Me!

The pair meet up inside the lagoon. As they discuss, Veneziano reveals that he is Pisces - the 12th astrological sign of the Western Zodiac. Currently, they are in San Marino lagoon, where all the mermaid Piscean population hang out on the surface. Greece introduces himself, though as he does so, Pisces comments that he looks very familiar somehow. However, he shrugs this off as thinking that Greece is *very handsome indeed.* At a loss at what to do, Pisces suggests that they go see Virgo, his nearest neighbour and ask her for advice. However, first they must make a potion that temporarily allow Greece to turn into a mermaid before going into the ocean. Greece gathers the ingredients and helps Pisces concoct it. Finally, as Greece is turned into a mermaid, he experiences what he calls 'sacred awe', incredibly excited and impressed by the transformation. He is ready to go, but Pisces insists that a kiss is needed in order to allow Greece to breathe underwater should the potion wear off early. Greece half-heartedly questions this, but Pisces insists that it's fine, saying that what his boyfriend doesn't know won't hurt him.

### Properly Meeting Pisco

Underwater, Romano is frantically searching for something before Pisces and Greece shows up. Romano is surprised to see Greece, *in mermaid form.* Pisces introduces Romano as 'Pisco', his older brother, before saddling Greece with him. Before Pisco can protest, Pisces swims off, saying that he needs to gather supplies to travel to Virgo with. Reluctantly, Pisco shows Greece around Aquae Laudanum, the underwater city Pisceans live in. He brings him to the villa where the Pisces representations live.

Pisco brings Greece to the lararium, a shrine dedicated to their grandfather, the Pisces before them. Greece asks Pisco what is wrong, as he seemed moody and anxious. After a bit of convincing Pisco opens up - while taking his grandfather's trident out, he accidentally broke it by losing the jade that used to be in it. Pisco suspects that the jade fell in a deep trench. This leads into Pisco questioning how and where Greece came from. Greece explains that he was awoken by a jade falling on his face, and suddenly the two dots are connected. The pair break the good news to Pisces, which he is pleased about. However, before leaving, Pisces makes the usual passive aggressive jabs at Pisco. When Greece questions this, Pisco laments how he feels like a second-class citizen in his own home. Angrily, he claims that Greece wouldn't understand, seeing as he was already 'buddy-buddy' with Pisces. When Greece denies this, Pisco reveals the fact that *he* was the one who had noticed and saved Greece from drowning. Pisces had, as usual, taken the credit for that. When Greece realises this, he thanks Pisco wholeheartedly, catching him off guard. Before Greece leaves, Pisco accepts the thanks, and in turn reveals that Pisces kissing Greece to 'give him air' was a whole load of bullshit.

### Travelling to Virgo

After finding Pisces preening at the mirror, Greece and him swim off to the trenches to Virgo's island. Along the way they encounter sea creatures of many kinds to battle. Eventually in a sea cave, they come across an especially aggressive shark which they must defeat. The exit out of the sea cave leads to Virgo's shores. The pair swim up together, ready to find and meet Virgo.
