***In the Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge.***

* April (shivering): Holy shit! It’s cold!
* Madelina (shivering): I had no idea it could snow on the sea!
* Hasuro (shivering): Brrr… I’m going to heat up the furnace. Hopefully that’ll warm us up.

*Hasuro heats up the furnace.*

* Hasuro (warming up): How do you feel now?
* April (relieved): Better…
* Hasuro (scratching his head): Unfortunately, we only have enough coal to last us maybe two more days. We better hope we reach Athens before it runs out.
* April (worried): Do you think Mia and Zachary are going to be okay? It’s been two days since they left, we ourselves are struggling even though we have the ship to shelter her. I imagine their journey would be even harder on horseback, whether winged or not!
* Hasuro (hopeful): Assuming the horse could fly above the clouds, I assume they’ll be okay. In fact, maybe even better off than us-

*Suddenly, Mary and Maverick come inside.*

* Mary and Maverick (Mary; shivering): In all my years, I’ve never faced a snowstorm worse than this!
* April (shocked): Mickey! Are you okay?!
* Mary and Maverick (stretching his neck): Yeah, I’m fine…
* April (concerned): You look like you’re freezing!
* Mary and Maverick (taking a deep breath): We just need to warm up a little and then we can go straight back to work!
* Hasuro (holding a tray): I’ve made hot chocolate for everyone, do you want a mug?
* Mary and Maverick (Mary; smiling): Yes, please! I could use something to fill up my stomach!

*Hasuro serves everyone a mug of hot chocolate.*

* April and Maverick (April; cuddling Maverick; worried): How long do you think this storm is going to go on for?
* April and Maverick (Maverick; cuddling April; drinking hot chocolate): Zach said the reason we’re dealing with this early winter is because some goddess is mad her daughter is missing. So probably it’ll go on until we find this Persephone chick.
* Mary (crossing her arms): That sounds pretty selfish to me. Why do us regular folks have to suffer because someone kidnapped her kid?
* Hasuro (covering his face): I’d give her some slack, it’s probably an ability wired onto her which she has no control over.
* Madelina (looking at her hot chocolate): …
* April and Maverick (Maverick; whooping): *Whistles.* Madelina!
* Madelina (startled): Huh?! What?!
* April and Maverick (Maverick; confused): Whatcha doing here all alone? Come sit with us!
* Madelina (nervous): Since you asked…

*Madelina joins the others on their table.*

* April and Maverick (Maverick; grinning): Someone’s here looking real gloomy. You’ve got something on your mind?
* Madelina (crossing her arms): Did you call me over just to bug me?
* April and Maverick (Maverick; showing his hands): I’m just asking! We’re a team so if something is bothering you I think we all should know!
* Madelina (reluctant): …
* Madelina (sad): I want to go home…
* April and Maverick (Maverick; chuckling): Now, don’t we all?
* Madelina (pissed): You don’t understand how I’m feeling! At least you’ve got April and the others to “distract” you, while I…
* Madelina (hopeless): *Sighs.*

*Hasuro holds one of her hands.*

* Hasuro (compassionate): Zachary is coming back, just believe in him.
* Madelina (sad): …

*Yoyo and Ophelia finally come into the dining room.*

* Yoyo and Ophelia (wrapped in blankets; Ophelia): Evening guys…
* Madelina (looking away): …
* Hasuro (eye rolling): Look who finally left their cabins! Sit down now, I made hot chocolate.

*Yoyo and Ophelia join the table.*

* April and Maverick (Maverick; laughing): Why are you all wrapped up like that? You look ridiculous!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; eye rolling): You won’t think we look ridiculous once you catch a cold and die!
* April and Maverick (Maverick; chuckling): Yeah, I don’t believe this is how colds work, haha.
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; crossing her arms): Whatever…
* Madelina (staring at her mug): …
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; sympathetic): Madelina, how are you feeling today?
* Madelina (pissed): Oh. My. Gods.

*She gets up and starts leaving the dining room.*

* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shocked): Madelina! Where are you going?!
* Madelina (angry): I do not want to talk to anyone! Have I not made this clear?! Just leave me alone!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; sympathetic): Madelina, we know you’re feeling a lot of stress right now and we’re just trying to be there for you!
* Madelina (furious): So now “you’re there for me”?! I’m done with you two! I do not need phonies like you in my life!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; shocked): What… What do you mean-?
* Madelina (eye rolling): If you want to be here for me then where were you all these months I tried connecting with you? Oh! I know! You were too busy ghosting me instead of communicating with me and telling me what I did to piss you off!
* Madelina (pissed): You’ve only shown interest now because you feel bad for me and Mia is no longer here to judge you!
* Madelina (angry): You don’t have the guts to say it to my face but I’m not naïve anymore! I know the truth now! All what you told Anne Bonny… It is exactly what you think you me! You never saw me as one of you!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; serious): That’s not true, Madelina! You ARE a part of the team!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; serious): Like Ophelia said, we care about you just as much as we care for everyone here!
* Madelina (tearful): Then TELL ME! Why have you been blackballing me all those months?! Is that how you treat one of you?!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; blushing): Madelina… We have no idea what you are talking about…
* Madelina (hopeless): *Sighs.*
* Madelina (sad): You know… When Hades put us in this quest… I was excited. I hoped this would be an opportunity for us to finally settle our differences and be friends again…
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; sympathetic): Madelina, you’re still our-
* Madelina (pissed): But now I see it was nothing but a stupid dream! And I can’t wait once we go back to Graecita so I can pack my things and go back home, because it’s clear no one in the city wants me around!

*Madelina runs to her cabin.*

* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; shocked): Madelina, come back!
* April and Maverick (Maverick; crossing his arms): I hope you two are happy with yourselves.
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; eye rolling): You act like you haven’t been a douche to her either.
* April and Ophelia (Maverick; shrugging): Maybe… But lets be real: I’m a douche to everyone so I doubt this made a difference to her. You two have only yourselves to blame here.
* Yoyo and Ophelia (regretful): …

***On the sky of Barcelona.***

* Mia and Zachary (sleeping; Mia; hugging Zachary’s waist): Zzzz…
* Pegasus (serious): *Brother!*
* Mia and Zachary (Zachary; sleeping): Zzzz…
* Pegasus (frowning): *Brother, wake up!*
* Mia and Zachary (Zachary; sleeping): Zzzz…
* Pegasus: *NEIGH!*
* Mia and Zachary (startled): Ah!
* Pegasus (eye rolling): *Good gods! Finally you woke up!*
* Mia and Zachary (Zachary; yawning): Holy fuck, Pegasus! You scared us!
* Mia and Zachary (Zachary; blushing): Uh… Mia, what are you doing..?
* Mia and Zachary (Mia; shocked): Oh shit!

*Mia lets go of Zachary’s waist.*

* Mia and Zachary (Mia; sweating): Sorry… I- Didn’t realize I was hugging you…
* Mia and Zachary (Mia; crossing her arms): But anyway, why did the horse wake us up?!
* Pegasus (serious): *Look below you.*

*Zachary does what Pegasus instructed him.*

* Zachary (happy): Mia, we made it! We’re in Barcelona right now!
* Zachary (smiling): Isn’t the city so beautiful?!
* Mia (amazed): It really is! Is this the Park Guell? I’ve always wanted to go there!
* Zachary (smiling): Yeah! And that must be the Batllo House!
* Mia (smiling): And I assume this is the Sagrat Co-
* Pegasus (impatient): *Ahem. Where do you want me to drop you off?*
* Zachary (blushing): Oh shit! I almost forgot about the mission!
* Zachary (squinting): Mia, do you see a raging bull anywhere?
* Mia (shocked): No… But look! There’s police forces blocking this area! Do you think the bull is there?
* Zachary (thinking): This could be the case! It seems like an alleyed area where the bull is guaranteed to crash any car entering the region. It comes to no surprise that they’d close it!
* Pegasus (curious): *So?*
* Zachary (serious): Pegasus, take us there!

***On ground.***

* Policeman (serious): Señorita, ¡me temo que el área está cerrada!
* Resident (pissed): ¿Pero por qué?
* Policeman: ¡Tenemos informes sobre un toro furioso acechando esta área y actualmente se está tratando! ¡Manténgase en contacto con las noticias si desea saber cuándo puede entrar!
* Pegasus (serious): *It looks like they’re not allowing anyone inside.*
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; thinking): This is a problem…
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; serious): Pegasus, you see those two buildings? There’s a space between them! Take us in it!

***In the alley.***

* Pegasus (serious): *You two go and look for the bull. Once you deal with him, come back here and I’ll be waiting for you!*
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; glad): Thank you, Pegasus. Mia, lets go!

***At the passages.***

* Mia (thinking): There does not seem to be a single soul on the road. The place is so quiet…
* Zachary (covering his face): Either everyone fled or is locking themselves in their homes, stores or whatever establishment they have in this town.
* Mia (curious): Do you see the bull?
* Zachary (thinking): I do not, but he is obviously here. Look at how much of a mess this town is! All these broken signs… And outdoor furniture on the road…
* Mia (shocked): Zach, look! That man is injured!
* Zachary (appalled): Wait… Is he nude?!
* Mia (serious): Whatever condition he is in, we have to go aid him! He might still be alive!

***You are now playing as Mia Loukas.***

## Chapter 1

***Investigate the alley.***

* Zachary (disgusted): The man’s dead, that’s for sure. But holy fuck! Look at the condition of his body!
* Zachary (clutching his balls): Poor guy seems to have gotten castrated and judging by the wounds, it looks like Cerus was most definitely the culprit. Ugh… Just looking at the injuries makes my nuts hurt!
* Zachary (confused): But wait a minute! There’s something carved on the dude’s chest- “CERDO”. My Spanish is not very good but I think in English this translates to “pig”?
* Zachary (shocked): Oh shit! You’ve got a point! This means… The bull did not act alone in that man’s demise, someone set him up- This is a murder!
* Zachary (serious): The townspeople already have it hard having to deal with Cerus, the last thing they need is a murderer roaming these parts!
* Zachary (scratching his head): But where do we even start? We don’t even know the man’s na-
* Hyale (holding a microphone; serious): Hello, this is Hyale from Olympus TV and what you are seeing right now is a wreckage of a town caused by Cerus’ rampage!
* Hyale (sympathetic): And there on the screen is the corpse of a man who came in his wa-
* Hyale (surprised): Well, hello! I certainly did not expect to find you here!
* Zachary (confused): Do we know you-?
* Hyale (smirking): I don’t believe we’ve met, but your partner and I have. If you don’t mind, I’d love to have an interview with the two of you!

***Get interviewed by Hyale (1 star; Prerequsite: Investigate the alley).***

* Hyale (grinning): I heard that the gods have nominated to find Persephone and her kidnappers, do you have any updates on that quest?
* Zachary (crossing his arms): We cannot tell you anything we learned as it may stand in the way of our progress, however the rest of our crew are currently working on rescuing her.
* Hyale (curious): So what are you doing here then?
* Zachary (serious): We heard the news that Cerus was spotted in Barcelona and we came to bring him back to the underworld!
* Hyale (smiling): Well, isn’t that great! It looks like the prayers of Barcelona have finally been answered!
* Hyale (smirking): Not exactly the heroes we expected, but may be the ones we need! Stay tuned to Olympus TV for the most accurate and up-to-date coverage of the bull's rampage in Barcelona.

*Recording ends.*

* Hyale (taking a good breath): So how did I do?
* Cameraman (awkward grin): You did good, but I think you may need to work on your closing statement…
* Hyale (holding her head): Yeah, I think I may have rushed it a little bit.
* Zachary (serious): Excuse me!
* Hyale (startled): I’m sorry! Is there anyway I can help you?
* Zachary (confused): Yeah… You asked why we were in Spain, now we want to know what are YOU doing here?!
* Hyale (shrugging): I’m a reporter, duh! Someone needs to provide Olympus with updates on the bull situation, y’know!
* Hyale (grinning): And I assume you need some info about the dead man you two found…
* Zachary (shocked): Wait, you know him?!
* Hyale (eye rolling): Not exactly. But I do have a name for him- Carmelo Fandino.
* Hyale (thinking): He’s one of the bullfighters that the Spanish government hired to take down the bull. I think they call them matadors or something?
* Zachary (serious): At least we have an identity! Do you know any more about that guy?
* Hyale (smirking): Sort of. If you want to learn more about him, you may want to visit the La Monumental. It’s an arena where bullfighters like him are employed to entertain a crowd of locals and tourists! And its not very far from here!
* Zachary (glad): Thank you for the information! Mia, lets go to the arena and see if there’s any leads!

***Investigate La Monumental (Prerequisite: Get interviewed by Hyale).***

* Zachary (impressed): I do not condone bullfighting, like at all! But damn does this place look rad!
* Zachary (curious): Have you found any leads around here, Mia?
* Zachary (scratching his head): A torn picture? Hm… Must’ve been dropped by one of the tourists, but I still think its worth piecing back together.
* Zachary (curious): That flyer you’ve picked up, what does it say?
* Zachary (thinking): “Las flores de Lala Antuñez”. Seems like a private business to me.
* Zachary (shocked): But hey! The flyer says to meet the seller outside La Monumental!
* Zachary (thinking): So this means that Lala person often hangs around here, do you believe there’s a chance she and the victim crossed paths?
* Zachary (serious): I believe we should go talk to her!

***Ask Lala if she knew the victim (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate La Monumental).***

* Lala (smiling): Hola! Soy Lala! Did you come to buy flores para tu novia bonita aqui?
* Zachary (blushing): Novia? Doesn’t that mean- Oh no! You’ve gotten the wrong idea! We’re not- dating!
* Zachary (awkward grin): And I fear we did not come to purchase your flowers… You see, we’re actually investigating a murder of a man called Carmelo Fandino.
* Lala (shocked): ¡Dios mío! ¡¿Un asesinato?! This sounds muy terrible! ¡El hombre desafortunado!
* Zachary (curious): According to our sources, he was bullfighter working in La Monumental. She’s that you sell flowers outside the arena, did you happen to meet him?
* Lala (awkward grin): I’m not sure. But I have chatted with a lot of matadors, who either wanted flowers to gift para tus señoritas or to flirt with me.
* Lala (blushing): There is a chance that I may have talked to him, but I’m afraid I cannot confirm as I’ve never got tus nombres.

***Examine torn photograph (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate La Monumental).***

* Zachary (thinking): Like I thought, this is a photo of a tourist posing with one of the matadors…
* Zachary (serious): But not just any matador! Isn’t that our victim?!
* Zachary (shocked): You know that woman on the picture?!
* Zachary (curious): Her name is Marigold Carson, you say? And she’s a social media influencer you girls met back at her France?
* Zachary (serious): Whatever she is, the fact that she met the victim makes her a suspect in our investigation! Lets go speak with her!

***Talk to Marigold (1 star; Prerequisite: Examine torn photograph).***

* Marigold (tapping on her phone; holding a glass of sangria): Enjoying a glass of sangria while admiring the Barcelonian view. Hashtag Barcelona. Hashtag Fun. Hashtag-
* Zachary: Excuse me, miss-
* Marigold (eye rolling): OMG. Can you like NOT bother me? I’m trying to come up with a caption for my post so please GTFO!
* Marigold (confused): You look familiar. Did we like meet, IIRC?
* Zachary (whispering): Did you talk like that when you and the girls met her?
* Zachary (serious): As a matter of fact, you and my friend have met earlier but we did not come to talk about this.
* Zachary (showing picture): We want to know what your relationship with that man is!
* Marigold (shocked): Put this picture down! No one should see it!
* Marigold (covering her face): Part of my online image is that I’m like, a VSCO girl and if someone knows I was in a bullring, I’m totes getting cancelled!
* Zachary (humored): VSCO girls? Those still exist?
* Marigold (awkward grin): To answer your question, I really don’t know anything about this man. I just thought he was like, a totes cutie and wanted to take a picture with him sksksksksk!
* Marigold (eye rolling): But why are you asking me about him anyway?
* Zachary (crossing his arms): Because that man was found murdered on the streets of Barcelona.
* Marigold (shocked): Sorry, murdered?! That’s totes so unexpected! Like legit plot thickens!
* Marigold (sweating): Like I said, I do not know who that man is but I wish you the best of luck in finding the imposter!

***Autopsy the victim’s body (Prerequisite: Investigate the alley. Attributes: The killer smokes cigarettes & The killer drinks sangria).***

* Zachary (covering his face): Mia, I examined the body and the condition of the victim is… Much worse than I imagined…
* Zachary (shocked): If getting his balls demolished by a bull wasn’t brutal enough, it turns out that the killer carved the word “CERDO” on his chest while he was still alive!
* Zachary (disgusted): And that’s not the only thing! I found cigarette’s burns on his scrotum among the other wounds so the killer got him prepared for what was about to come!
* Zachary (crossing his arms): As horrifying as this is, at least it gives us a lead on our killer- That they are a smoker!
* Zachary (serious): But this is not the only lead I found! Before leaving him to be killed by Cerus, the killer splashed his face with an alcoholic beverage!
* Zachary (indicating): The ingredients of this beverage include oranges, berries, pears and lemons which mixed together forms a popular Spanish drink called sangria!
* Zachary (confident): So this means when looking for the killer, we need to keep attention at any mention of that beverage to lead us to them!

***At the alley.***

* Zachary (serious): We came to Barcelona to find Cerus but looks like murders have been following us again!
* Zachary (covering his face): Our victim is called Carmelo Fandino and thus far we know nothing about him except that he was bullfighter which is… Pretty ironic knowing his cause of death.
* Zachary (crossing his arms): We know that his killer drinks sangria and I’m pretty sure we saw your influencer friend posting pics of that beverage on his InstaPic page.
* Zachary (curious): Another trait of the killer that we know of is that they’re a smoker. And wait? Are you saying you caught Hyale smoking cigarettes back at Olympus-?
* Hyale (smirking): Did anyone say my name?
* Zachary (startled): Where did you come from?!
* Hyale (grinning): I’ve been keeping tabs on you to see how you’re holding up with the investigation…
* Hyale (confident): But I also have information that could help you with it if you’re interested to hear!

## Chapter 2

* Zachary (serious): We came to Barcelona to find Cerus but looks like murders have been following us again!
* Zachary (covering his face): Our victim is called Carmelo Fandino and thus far we know nothing about him except that he was bullfighter which is… Pretty ironic knowing his cause of death.
* Zachary (crossing his arms): We know that his killer drinks sangria and I’m pretty sure we saw your influencer friend posting pics of that beverage on his InstaPic page.
* Zachary (curious): Another trait of the killer that we know of is that they’re a smoker. And wait? Are you saying you caught Hyale smoking cigarettes back at Olympus-?
* Hyale (smirking): Did anyone say my name?
* Zachary (startled): Where did you come from?!
* Hyale (grinning): I’ve been keeping tabs on you to see how you’re holding up with the investigation…
* Hyale (confident): But I also have information that could help you with it if you’re interested in hearing me!
* Zachary (serious): We’re all ears! What have you got!
* Hyale (thinking): I’ve spoken with a couple of the locals in this area, to dig more information about your victim and find out about where he was last seen.
* Hyale (serious): And one woman told me that she saw him last night dining out in a seafood restaurant called “La Put de la Mar”!
* Zachary (blushing): La what-?! Well, that is an odd choice for a restaurant name but regardless, thanks for the tip.
* Zachary (curious): Do you happen to have a name for the woman you interviewed?
* Hyale (crossing her arms): I usually keep this type of information confidential but if this is necessary for your investigation, then her name is Michelle Alonzo.
* Zachary (shocked): Did you just say her last name is Alonzo?!
* Zachary (thinking): Mia, do you think she might be related to Madelina?! We know her family are residing in Barcelona after all!
* Zachary (serious): Only way to find out is by speaking with her, but also lets not forget to inspect the restaurant first!

***Investigate the restaurant.***

* Zachary (hungry): Man, the smell of fish is really making hungry…
* Zachary (awkward grin): But yeah, we have to pay attention to our investigation. You found anything?
* Zachary (thinking): This table placard seems to have our victim’s name on it. There’s another name but I can’t see it clearly- we should uncover it!
* Zachary (curious): Did you find anything else? A photo of a matador being hit by a bull?
* Zachary (shocked): You’re right! That’s our victim and look there’s something written on the back in Spanish!
* Zachary (blushing): I would need to take about a couple of minutes to be able to translate this but I don’t have a feeling that it’s something good. Anyway…
* Zachary (serious): Since we’re done looking around the restaurant, lets pay the Alonzo’s a visit!

***Talk to Michelle (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the restaurant).***

* Zachary (thinking): According to public database, this is where the Alonzo’s supposedly live…
* Zachary (confused): Weird… I’d assume Madelina’s family would take on a… Much more extravagant setting. Are we sure that’s their home?
* Zachary (awkward grin): Anyway, shall we knock-?

*The door suddenly opens.*

* Rat (terrified): *Squeak!*
* Michelle (furious): Get out here you stinky rodent!
* Zachary (startled): AH!
* Michelle (shocked): Oh! Sorry for scaring you! I was just cleaning up the apartment!
* Michelle (covering her face): I don’t know why the landlady can’t just hire an exterminator! This place is infested with rats and insects, and I’m getting tired of chasing them all off! I really could use a smoke break!
* Michelle (hand on hips): But enough speaking of that. What are you doing outside my apartment?
* Zachary (curious): You’re Michelle Alonzo, right?
* Michelle (crossing her arms): Yes, that’s me?
* Zachary (blushing): Forgive me for asking, but do you happen to be related to Madelina Alonzo?
* Michelle (shocked): My gods, yes! How do you know her?!
* Zachary (groping his neck): We’re friends of hers from Graecita. She’s part of our ship’s crew.
* Michelle (worried): Is she alright? Has something happened to her?! What are you here for-?!
* Zachary (appeasing): Your daughter is fine! We came to Barcelona for unrelated reasons!
* Zachary (thinking): And also to ask questions about Carmelo Fandino.
* Michelle (thinking): You mean the man at the restaurant? The nephele told me that’s he was found dead on the road?
* Zachary (confused): Nephele? How did you-
* Michelle (hand on hip): My grandmother is the goddess of magic, I can see through the mist very clearly and so does my husband.
* Zachary (blushing): Ah, we see. Well, we wanted to know if you had any interactions with the victim other than recognizing his face?
* Michelle (crossing her arms): I have not spoken with him if this what you’re asking me. But he did leave quite an impression on me and not a very good one…
* Zachary (curious): How so?
* Michelle (checking her nails): He drank, a lot. I admit that I do enjoy myself more than one glass of sangria, but I know how to watch my manners even when I am wasted.
* Michelle (crossing her arms): Which cannot be said for that man. He got too drunk and caused a disturbance for everyone. Picking up fights, assaulting waitresses and lets say, it was just not a very pleasant dinner experience for me.

***Examine table placard (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the restaurant).***

* Zachary (thinking): So the reservation is for our victim, “Mr. Carmelo Fandino” and “Mrs. María-Luisa Fandino”.
* Zachary (covering his face): Shit… That must be his wife! I do not like these parts of the investigation, but I’m afraid we have to tell her about her husband’s death.

***Inform María-Luisa Fandino of her husband’s death (1 star; Prerequisite: Examine table placard).***

* Zachary (sympathetic): Mrs. Fandino, I am afraid we come with bad news about your husband.
* Luisa (eye rolling; holding a cigarette): What is it? Did another woman accuse him of groping her?
* Zachary (blushing): What- No?
* Luisa (relieved): Thank goodness! I’d really not in the mood to fight a bitch into dropping the charges. What is it then?
* Zachary (covering his face): We came to tell you that your husband was murdered.
* Luisa (shocked): Murdered?! But- We were just celebrating our five-year anniversary last night!
* Luisa (crying): I thought he must’ve went to sleep over at a friend’s house and this why he hadn’t come home! I can’t believe that he’s actually dead!
* Zachary (sympathetic): I’m sorry we had to be the ones to break the news. And I know you must be in an emotional state right now.
* Zachary (curious): But we want to know if anyone was following your husband, perhaps to murder him?
* Luisa (covering her face): I don’t know, I didn’t see anything.
* Luisa (crossing her arms): The restaurant manager kicked us out after we had too much glasses of sangria. Our food was already on the table so I was arguing with the managers to at least let us take the food with us and told Carmelo to wait outside. And when I finally go out of the restaurant’s door, Carmelo was gone!
* Luisa (crying): How I wish I simply left with him! Maybe then, he would have still been alive!

***Analyze photo (Prerequisite: Investigate the restaurant; Attribute: The killer is a photographer).***

* Zachary (shocked): Mia, I translated the message written behind the photo and it says “Next time you fight, I hope that you lose your fucking balls!”. That is exactly how the victim died!
* Zachary (serious): That is no way a coincidence! This message is a threat from his killer and while I found nothing incriminating on it, there is something I observed!
* Zachary (thinking): The killer has obviously put an effort to get this shot. The lens of the camera was clearly focusing on the victim before the bull made his attack and they made sure to get a clear photo in perfect timing!
* Zachary (confident): The killer is not just a person who has a camera, they are someone who knew what they were doing! They are a photographer!

***Outside La Monumental.***

* Zachary (smiling): Mia, we’re doing good in the investigation but we need more clues!
* Zachary (determined): You’re right! The more thorough we are, the better! Lets take another look around La Monumental!

***Investigate the plaza.***

* Zachary (thinking): It appears there was a protest in this area. Look, there’s a broken sign on the ground, you believe we should repair it!
* Zachary (shocked): Speaking of broken stuff, doesn’t that flower pot look like the ones on Lala’s stall?
* Zachary (serious): You think she may have gotten attacked? We should go check on her!

***See who attacked Lala (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the plaza).***

* Zachary (serious): Señorita Antuñez, we found one of your flower pots on the plaza! Were you attacked?!
* Lala (awkward grin): ¡Dios mío! Qué bien of you to worry para mí! Pero fear not, this happened yesterday en la mañana!
* Lala (eye rolling): Y besides. Mi attacker ya está muerto!
* Zachary (shocked): Wait! Are you insinuating that the victim was the one who attacked you! But what for?!
* Lala (angry): Porque he is un racista!
* Lala (serious): Yo soy una gitana. Or what tu americanos may know better as a gypsy.
* Lala (sad): Being a gypsy in Europe es muy difícil. Everywhere I go, I face prejudice and angry glares from todos las personas!
* Lala (pissed): Señor Fandino was no exception! When he realized I was una gitana, he got enojado. He started trashing mi puesto y proceeded to physically assault me!
* Lala (furious): I don’t usualmente wish ill sobre los muretos, but Fandino was un hombre terrible and estoy contiento that he’s dead!
* Zachary (sympathetic): Señorita Antuñez, the way the victim have treated you is unacceptable but we hope that you didn’t murder him because if we find out you did, I doubt the Spnaish authorities will be lenient with you, especially being a romani.

***Examine broken sign (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the plaza).***

* Zachary (shocked): Judging by what’s written on the sign, the protest must have been about Cerus. It looks like not everyone in Spain is onboard with getting him killed!
* Zachary (confused): You recognize the handwriting on the sign?! It’s Hyale’s?! But what is she doing in a protest?
* Zachary (serious): If she was protesting against having the bull killed, then it’s bound that she and the victim didn’t like each other, we should go speak with her again!

***Ask Hyale about her protesting at the plaza (1 star; Prerequisite: Examine broken sign).***

* Hyale (smirking; holding a glass of sangria): How are you liking Barcelona so far? Did you try their sangria? It’s very delicious, or should I say muy deliciosio!
* Zachary (curious): Reporter Hyale, we found this sign in the plaza near La Monumental. Have you been protesting there?
* Hyale (shrugging): Duh! Do you think I was just going to let the Spanish kill Cerus, like he was just some wild bull and not an integral part of our history?!
* Hyale (serious): I was sent here as a reporter, but I also had another job which is distracting the Spanish government from the bull until the gods send someone to bring him back to the underworld!
* Hyale (checking her nails): Now, I am obviously just a nymph. So I couldn’t protect Cerus literally. So instead, I started a movement and gathered supporters to protest outside La Monumental with me!
* Hyale (pissed): And everything was going fine until your victim came to confront us, broke my sign and scared all the protestors with his sword!
* Zachary (stumped): So you’re more familiar with the victim that you let out? What else are you hiding?
* Hyale (smirking): Do you think a small nymph like myself would resolve things with bloodshed? If so, I’m sorry to tell you that you’re barking up the wrong tree!

***At the outdoors of La Puta de La Mar.***

* Waitress (reading): Lets repeat your order. You want one Jamon Iberico dish, a plate of Gambas de Ajillo and two glasses of diet coke. Is that all?
* Zachary (nodding): Yes.
* Waitress (smiling): Your food will me there in a moment. Please just wait.

*The waitress goes away.*

* Zachary (smiling): So, while they’re preparing our food, lets recap what we know so far.
* Zachary (crossing his arms): I already had low opinions on the victim because of him being a bullfighter but it looks like we learned more unfavorable things about him.
* Zachary (eye rolling): Like his racist outburst toward Lala, his disrespect toward servers according to Michelle and him attacking Hyale when she tried protesting against getting Cerus killed.
* Zachary (crossing his arms): He also seems to have a string of sexual assault cases on his trail from what we learned when talking to his wife.
* Zachary (stretching his neck): Speaking of her, while she seems to be the only one sad about the victim’s murder, I couldn’t help but notice that she was holding a cigarette while we were talking with her. She also wore a camera around her neck which makes me suspect she might work as a photographer.
* Zachary (thinking): Speaking of photography, as an influencer Marigold must be an ace at taking photos and if I remember correctly, didn’t Lala put her InstaPic handle on the flyer we found for his business?
* Zachary (crossing his arms): And seeing that she’s in the journalism business, Hyale must know a thing or two about photography-

*AH!!!*

* Zachary (confused): What are all these people running in for?!
* Cerus (angry): *Grunts.*
* Zachary (shocked): Holy fuck! Is that CERUS?!
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts.*

## Chapter 3

* Waitress (reading): Lets repeat your order. You want one Jamon Iberico dish, a plate of Gambas de Ajillo and two glasses of diet coke. Is that all?
* Zachary (nodding): Yes.
* Waitress (smiling): Your food will me there in a moment. Please just wait.

*The waitress goes away.*

* Zachary (smiling): So, while they’re preparing our food, lets recap what we know so far.

* Cerus (angry): *Grunts.*
* Zachary (shocked): Holy fuck! Is that CERUS?!
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts.*

*Cerus crashes at the tables.*

* Customers (scared): AH!
* Zachary (serious): Everybody go inside! We will handle the bull!
* Cerus (pissed): *Grunts.*
* Zachary (appeasing): Now, easy there. We are not your enemies. We just want to take you back ho-
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts.*
* Zachary (shocked): Mia, watch out!

*They dodge the bull’s attack.*

* Zachary (relieved): That was close!
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts.*
* Zachary (panicking): He’s going to charge again!
* Police (drawing their guns; Lead officer): ¡Ustedes dos de allí! ¡Sal del camino para que podamos disparar al toro!
* Cerus (startled): *Grunts.*
* Zachary (shocked): Shit! The cops are here to kill the bull! We can’t let that happen!
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts.*
* Police (Lead officer; shocked): ¡Está escapando por ello! ¡Dispáralo!
* Cerus (terrified): *Grunts.*

*The police shoot at Cerus but he escapes.*

* Police (Lead officer; pissed): ¡Mierda!
* Zachary (relieved): Thank gods he made it out!
* Zachary (serious): I’m going to go check on the other customers. While I’m doing this, why not inspect the outdoors area? See if we could find something related to Carmelo’s murder!

***Investigate the outdoor dining area.***

* Zachary (relieved): I did a check up on the customers and thankfully they were all fine. Did you find anything while I was gone?
* Zachary (curious): A locket? One of the pictures on the locket looks like it’s of the victim, except younger.
* Zachary (shocked): And you’re right! The woman on the other picture- That’s not the victim’s wife!
* Zachary (thinking): For some reason she looks familiar to me, but I can’t pin point on who this is. The picture looks pretty dated though, so the woman’s looks must have changed significantly. We should examine the picture, perhaps we could identify her.
* Zachary (curious): Anyway, the jacket you picked up looks like the ones matadors would wear during their performances. The victim was naked when we found him so do you think this jacket is his. I think it would be a good idea to look through the pockets.
* Zachary (confused): Also, what are those documents you found? Hmmm… The content appears faded so we’ll need to recover it.

***Examine locket (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the outdoor dining area).***

* Zachary (shocked): The woman in the locket is Madelina’s mother?! Are you sure you’re not mistaken?!
* Zachary (confused): But she claimed she barely knew the victim when we spoke with her! She didn’t mention they were romantic?!
* Zachary (crossing her arms): I don’t want to be in bad terms with my girlfriend’s mother, but that is way too much to hide! She’s got a lot to explain for!

***Confront Michelle for hiding her romance with the victim (1 star; Prerequisite: Examine locket).***

* Zachary (crossing her arms): Mrs. Alonzo, you claim that you and the victim never spoke together so can you explain why both of your photos are on this locket?
* Michelle (sweating): Oh dear… I didn’t know that he was keeping this!
* Zachary (confused): Were you and the victim lovers?
* Michelle (covering her face): More than that! We were engaged!
* Zachary (shocked): Engaged?! And you hid ALL THIS from us?!
* Michelle (sweating): I didn’t want to disclose this information since it is embarrassing and paints me in a REALLY bad light.
* Michelle (biting her lip): You see, I never actually broke it off with him. My family was vacating at Mexico and this where I met Amad. Sparks were built between us and lets say that… I cheated on Carmelo with him.
* Michelle (sweating): Amad and I eloped and I ended up ghosting Carmelo. He didn’t know that I got married to another man until one of my family members informed him and according to them, he was furious!
* Michelle (covering her face): So I believe it’s obvious why I didn’t want the cat to get out of the bag-
* Tony (holding a playdough art piece): Mommy! Look at what I made!
* Michelle (compassionate): This looks so amazing sweetie! Just wait, I’m going to come take a picture of it!
* Michelle (awkward grin): Sorry, I have to ask you to leave now to take care of my kids. Come back another time, okay?

***Examine documents (1 star; Prerequisites: Investigate the outdoor dining area).***

* Zachary (thinking): So the documents we found are actually divorce papers…
* Zachary (shocked): And they’re filed by the victim’s wife!
* Zachary (crossing his arms): María-Luisa did give hints about her husband’s infidelities, but she did not tell us she was divorcing him over it.
* Zachary (serious): We need to talk to her again and learn more about their marital problems!

***Question María-Luisa about her divorcing the victim (1 star; Prerequisite: Examine documents).***

* Luisa (eye rolling): So you found my divorce papers? Great! What exactly do you aim to get from me with this?
* Zachary (serious): We want to know the reason behind you filing for divorce. You mentioned that he has sexual assault allegation on his trail, did this contribute to this?
* Luisa (pissed): Absolutely! But it doesn’t stop with these allegations! I have already caught him snuggling with several women with my own eyes!
* Luisa (crossing his arms): This behavior is not new of Carmelo, he’s been cheating on me since the beginning of our marriage and I only put up with it because he proposed we open our marriage the first time I’ve caught him.
* Luisa (pissed): But I realized that the arrangement was benefitting him more than it was benefitting me so I put my foot on the ground and threatened him with a divorce!
* Zachary (confused): A threat? So you were not actually going for it?
* Luisa (covering her face): I was going to go through with it, but Carmelo managed to convince me not to so I decided to give him a second chance to prove himself to me.
* Luisa (crossing her arms): And warned him that if he continues with this behavior, I’ll make sure that he’ll pay!
* Zachary (serious): And I hope by that you don’t mean his life, because if we learn we took it because of his infidelities, I don’t believe the court would be pleased with your motive!

***Examine jacket (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the outdoor dining area).***

* Zachary (chuckling): Look at what we found- A condom! Definitely necessary to keep around-
* Zachary (shocked): Wait… Is this-
* Zachary (disgusted): Holy shit! It’s got semen on it! Gross! Why would the victim keep a used condom in his jacket?!
* Zachary (crossing his arms): I guess he was trying to avoid getting spermjacked. Which means whoever he slept with must not be his wife
* Zachary (disgusted): I don’t like this, but I guess that means we need to examine the condom to find out he was penetrating.

***Analyze the condom (Prerequisite: Examine jacket).***

* Zachary (shocked): I examined the condom and you won’t believe the results!
* Zachary (serious): The woman who the victim made love to is Marigold Carson!
* Zachary (crossing his arms): She did tell us that she found the victim “cute”, but it looks like her relationship with the victim was deeper than just compliments.
* Zachary (serious): Now I don’t want to make a woman uncomfortable, but this gives us a reason to interrogate her again!

***Ask Marigold about her relationship with the victim (1 star; Prerequisite: Analyze the condom).***

* Zachary (serious): Marigold, you didn’t tell us that you and the victim were in a relationship together.
* Marigold (confused): WTF?! How did you even find out about this?!
* Zachary (blushing): Uh… Can you not change the subject? Why didn’t you tell us you were closer to the victim than you let out?
* Marigold (shrugging): I was scared it would make me look sus!
* Marigold (eye rolling): And FYI we weren’t in a relationship! I mean, yeah, he rizzed me and I invited him to my hotel room to smoke a blunt and then we did the devil’s tango.
* Marigold (pissed): But once I knew he’s taken, I threw him out of my room!
* Marigold (panicking): If my followers find out I got involved with a married man, I’ll be done for! I could already imagine all the hit-pieces being made about me being a “homewrecker”!
* Zachary (serious): Hopefully you did not kill the victim to save your reputation because if you did, we’re afraid you’ll have to extend your trip in Barcelona.

***At the alley.***

* Zachary (crossing his arms): We need to find more clues if we want to wrap up this investigation.
* Zachary (determined): I think its time we take another look around the crime scene!

***Investigate the passage.***

* Zachary (shocked): That sword is covered with blood!
* Zachary (serious): We know the killer used a sharp object to carve the word “CERDO” on the victim’s chest, and this must be what they used!
* Zachary (thinking): There’s some fibers sticking out on the blade, you think we should examine them? Anyway, what else is there?
* Zachary (shocked): A red cape..? Wait, that’s the type of capes matadors use to trigger bulls!
* Zachary (serious): The cape must be the victim’s, but the killer may have used it to lure Cerus toward him! I’m going to analyze it and see if they left any evidence behind!

***Analyze cape (Prerequisite: Investigate the passage).***

* Zachary (confident): Mia, I managed to find information about Carmelo Fandino’s killer! The cape we found had bandage adhesive residue on it!
* Zachary (happy): Carmelo didn’t wear any bandages so it only could have come from the killer!

***Examine the sword (1 star; Prerequisite: Analyze the cloak).***

* Zachary (smiling): Now that we’ve got the fibers, lets take a close look at them!

***Analyze pink fibers (Prerequisite: Examine the sword).***

* Zachary (serious): The fibers we found on the swords were actually strings that come off from clothing!
* Zachary (thinking): The fibers were obviously covered with blood, but I sanitized them and managed to determine their true color.
* Zachary (confident): And I can confirm that the killer is wearing pink clothes!

***After completing all the tasks...***

* Zachary (happy): Mia, we have found all the proof needed to arrest Carmelo Fandino’s killer! Lets go arrest them now!

***Take care of the killer now!***

* Zachary (serious): Mrs. Fandino, we are arresting you for the murder of your husband, famous matador Carmelo Fandino!
* Luisa (confused): Are you serious?! Our relationship may be rocky and I may be a mess, but I would never lay a finger on my husband!
* Zachary: Our evidence says otherwise. You should have not splashed his face with sangria and burned him with your cigarette as it did nothing but make it easier to find you!
* Luisa (crossing her arms): So I’m a drunk and a smoking addict, I had no idea wither of these things are incriminating?
* Zachary: Maybe not, but we also residue from your bandage on the cape you used to lure the bull!
* Luisa (angry): I see what’s going on here! You’re arresting me because I’m the easiest person to pink this on! A drug-addicted woman killing her cheating husband! Who wouldn’t believe this!
* Zachary (crossing his arms): If you want to be excluded from that narrative, maybe carving the word “pig” on his chest in Spanish isn’t so much a good idea.
* Zachary (confused): Did you kill your husband for him cheating on you? If it bothered you so much why didn’t you just go through with it?!
* Luisa (furious): Because he wouldn’t even let me! I gave him what he deserved!
* Zachary: He wouldn’t let you...? How does this even work-?
* Luisa (covering her face): I admit that I killed my husband, but I swear it had nothing to do with his unfaithfulness! It was… Much more than that!
* Luisa (sweating): The first years of our marriage were magical but as time went by… I became exposed to who Carmelo really was…
* Luisa (sad): He starts becoming hostile. First it was screaming matches but soon it got more… Physical.
* Zachary (disgusted): Did Carmelo… Hit you?!
* Luisa (covering her face): Yes, he did it sober but it was even worse when he was drunk. Every night when he comes home after partying and drinking, he would look for any excuse to yell at me or even hit me.
* Luisa (panicking): It got to the point that I get anxious whenever he is home, scared that he would hurt me!
* Luisa (sad): I couldn’t live in this environment anymore, so I decided to finally file for divorce. But when I showed him the documents and… He didn’t take it well.
* Luisa (tearful): I told you that he talked me into giving him a second chance, but the truth is… He got really angry when I told him I want to divorce that he… Decided to “remind me of how much I loved him”.
* Zachary (horrified): María-Luisa, what did Carmelo do to you?!
* Luisa (crying): I can’t say… I..
* Zachary (furious): Did he take advantage of you?!
* Luisa (wiping her tears): I couldn’t believe he would do this to me. I… When he was done, I felt a mixture of emotions. Angry, disgusted but most of all scared, knowing that there was no way I could escape him!
* Luisa (pissed): After he did this to me, he decided to take me out for a date last night, as if he had done nothing me! I complied, but in my heart I was mad at him, I wanted to avenge myself, I wanted him to pay!
* Luisa (crossing her arms): He got drunk in the restaurant, so drunk that he was basically unresponsive and could barely walk. So I had walk him back home.
* Luisa (shocked): While walking him, we passed a passage and I heard grunting. I turned and saw the bull a couple of meters away from us. He didn’t see us but I felt so scared!
* Luisa (grinning): But then it crossed to me… This was the perfect opportunity to have my revenge on Carmelo.
* Luisa (pissed): So I stripped him nude and carved the word “CERDO” on his chest, because that’s was he was- A dirty pig!
* Luisa: Then I took the cigarette I was smoking out of my mouth and used it to burn his scrotum, causing him to yell a high-pitched scream that attracted the bull!
* Luisa (furious): Once I got the bull’s attention, I used my husband’s red cape to trigger the bull and got out of its way and I watched as the beast tore Carmelo’s bullocks to shreds!
* Zachary (covering his face): María-Luisa, I have no words to say except I’m really sorry to her what your husband made you go through…
* Zachary (serious): But this is still no reason for you to kill him and I’m afraid we have to take you to the police!

***Later, in the alleys…***

* Zachary (sad): Man, do I feel bad for María-Luisa. I know this is no excuse to commit murder, but what her husband did to her was disgusting.
* Zachary (serious): But you’re right! Now that we have Carmelo’s killer behind bars, it’s time to focus on what we came here for- Find Cerus, repress him from attacking the people and take him back to the underworld!

## The Kidnapping Of Persephone (5/6)

* Zachary (serious): Now that Carmelo Fandino’s murderer was found, it is time for us to focus on Cerus!
* Zachary (confused): But the problem is how will we be able to bring him back to the underworld when he’s still running around like a maniac?!
* Zachary (thinking): We need to find a weakness, obviously not something to kill him with but rather something to either tranquilize or calm him down…
* Zachary (curious): Madelina’s mother claims that their family are highly connected to the Ancient Greek realm, but do you think this ancestry comes with knowledge or is it just a heritage to be proud of?
* Zachary (serious): I’m saying this because maybe she knows how we could deal with Cerus and since she’s older with more life experience, she could tell us! I think we should pay her another visit at her apartment!

***Outside the apartment.***

* Zachary (serious): Lets knock the door!

*KNOCK! KNOCK!*

* Zachary (confused): Huh? No answer?
* Zachary (thinking): Lets try again…

*KNOCK! KNOCK!*

* Zachary (whooping): Hellooooo? Is anyone in here?
* Zachary (covering his face): It looks like they aren’t home-
* Hermosa’s voice: Hello…? Who’s outside?
* Zachary (shocked): This must be their youngest daughter!
* Zachary (compassionate): Hi little girl, are mommy and daddy with you?
* Hermosa’s voice: W-who are you?! And what are you doing outside our home?!
* Zachary (curious): We came to talk to your mother, can you let us in?
* Hermosa’s voice: My parents told me not to open the door to strangers!
* Zachary (stretching his neck): We’re not strangers though. We’re Madelina’s… friends.

*She opens the door.*

* Hermosa (shocked): You know my sister?!
* Zachary (awkward grin): Yeah, can you let us in now?
* Hermosa (blushing): Y-yes, come in…

***Ask Hermosa where are her parents (1 star).***

* Zachary (warm smile): So what’s your name, little girl?
* Hermosa (crossing her arms): My name is Hermosa and please don’t baby-talk me. I’m ten, not seven.
* Zachary (nervous grin): Oh, sorry… Are you home by yourself?
* Hermosa (checking her nails): No, my little brother Tony is with me.
* Zachary (shocked): Where are your parents?!
* Hermosa (eye rolling): They told me they’re going to the restaurant we dined at last night, but I have no idea what they’re doing there since we literally just had lunch.
* Zachary (smiling): Thank you for letting us know, it was nice speaking with you.
* Zachary (serious): The restaurant Hermosa was talking to us must be “La Puta de la Mar”! Lets go there and look for Mrs. Alonzo!

***Look for Michelle Alonzo (1 star; Prerequisite: Ask Hermosa where are her parents).***

* Amad and Michelle (Amad; pissed): I’m telling you that we’ve been overcharged!
* Manager (annoyed): And I am telling you to give me a RECEIPT!
* Zachary (serious): Mrs. Alonzo, there you are! Can we have a minute with yo-
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; serious): Whatever it is, could you please let it wait? My husband and I are not exactly free right now.
* Zachary (confused): What’s going on here?!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; furious): I just got a message from the bank telling me those cheats made us pay 1300 euros last night for our meal!
* Zachary (shocked): 1300 euros?! Isn’t that too much?! What the hell did you order?!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; pissed): Not much, we were only four and ordered a dish for eaxh one of us! We didn’t even order appetizers, it should not have exceeded 150 euros!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; furious): We want our money back!
* Manager (furious): I’m saying this one last time. Unless you have a receipt that proves you’ve been swindled, you aren’t seeing a single penny from me!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; pissed): I told you I don’t have it, I left it in the restaurant last night, how was I supposed to know I would need it?!
* Manager (shrugging): That’s not my problem!
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; worried): But we need the money for rent! It’s due in two weeks, how are we going to make it all back?!
* Zachary (blushing): Geez, it looks like the Alonzo’s are in major trouble!
* Zachary (thinking): We have to help them out somehow, we cannot let them get evicted!
* Zachary (serious): The manager says he needs a receipt but Mr. Alonzo says he left it in the restaurant. Do you think if we took a look around that we could find it?

***Investigate the restaurant (Prerequisite: Look for Michelle Alonzo).***

* Zachary (hopeless): What am I thinking? Obviously the receipt won’t be on any of the tables, the servers would have cleaned it up right after the family left for the next customers!
* Zachary (curious): Mia, don’t you think this bin is a little full for the afternoon?
* Zachary (smiling): Unless… The restaurant haven’t taken out the trash from last night!
* Zachary (determined): Chance is, The Alonzo’s receipt is still in there. Lets dig up the trash!

***Examine trash bin (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate the restaurant).***

* Zachary (disgusted): I don’t know what I was expecting to be in there. I can’t find anything, I hope you’re having better luck than me!
* Zachary (shocked): Wait! You found the receipt?!
* Zachary (thinking): I can see Mr. Alonzo’s name on it, so this is it. What does it say in the total price..?
* Zachary (covering his face): 1300 euros… This isn’t going to help them, if anything it’ll just give the manager more the reason to dismiss them-
* Zachary (shocked): Wait- The prices of the food! They add up to 130 not 1300 euros!
* Zachary (thinking): So this must be a problem with the print and the server just went with it…
* Zachary (smiling): This proves the Alonzo’s were indeed overcharged! We have to give that to them!

***Give the receipt back to Amad Alonzo (1 star; Prerequisite: Examine trash bin).***

* Manager (annoyed): Are you done arguing?! You’re causing a disturbance in the restaurant!
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; disappointed): Lets just go, Mon Cherie. We’ll find a way to make the money back-
* Zachary (shocked): Wait, don’t go yet! We have the receipt!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; glad): Aha! Exactly what I needed!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; confident): Take a look at it and tell me we haven’t been swindled!
* Manager (stumped): The receipt says your meal costed 1300 euros, what exactly do you want to prove with that?
* Zachary (serious): Except that’s nothing but a misprint! If you actually add up all the prices, the sum is 130 EUROS. They’ve been charged ten times the money they owed!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; furious): I knew there was a scam! Now give us our money back!
* Manager (reading the receipt): WHAT?!
* Manager (fake smile): It appears that, there was indeed… A mistake. Now just wait a moment, I’ll transfer your money back immediately.
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; relieved): Finally…
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; compassionate): We cannot thank you two enough! You have no idea how much you’ve saved us!
* Amad and Michelle (Amad; hopeless): Like my wife said, I don’t know how we could possibly repay you the favor.
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; curious): This reminds me… Didn’t you two mention wanting a minute with me?
* Zachary (blushing): We did, and we actually do have a favor we were about to ask.
* Zachary (serious): We came to Barcelona because that bull roaming the alleys is actually Cerus, Persephone’s bull!
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; shocked): Are you serious?! How did he get here?!
* Zachary (curious): It’s a long story. But the point is, we’re hear to take him back to the underworld and we really need to know if there’s a way for us to tame him!
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; thinking): crossing her arms): Unfortunately, I know nothing about that bull.
* Amad and Michelle (Michelle; serious): But I think I have a way to help you. First, lets go back to the apartment!

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person view.**

***At the apartment.***

* Michelle (whooping): Darlings, we’re home!
* Hermosa and Tony (happy): Mama! Papa!

*They jump at their parents.*

* Amad (awkward grin): Woah! Calm yourselves down! Papa just came back from a fight and is feeling tired right now!
* Michelle (smirking): I hope you two did not misbehave while we were away!
* Hermosa and Tony (Hermosa; blushing): Oh no, I promise we didn’t! All we did is play with our toys!
* Hermosa and Tony (Tony; smiling): And we drew a picture of Buddy and Jazmin to give them when they come back!
* Amad (laughing): I’m sure they can’t wait to see it!
* Michelle (compassionate): Now dears. Would you mind going to your rooms? Son adultos need to talk right now.
* Hermosa and Tony (Hermosa; begging): Can we talk to Madelina’s friends first?
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; curious): Us? Of course, what did you want to tell us?
* Hermosa and Tony (Hermosa; blushing): We drew this picture for Madelina and we wondered if you could hand it to her when you go back to see her?
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; chuckling): We promise that we’ll make sure she has it!
* Hermosa and Tony (Hermosa; smiling): Thank you!

*The children go to their rooms.*

* Michelle (smiling): I’m going to look through our bookshelves to see if we have anything that could aid you. Amad, please entertain them while I’m busy.
* Amad (winking; playing with his moustache): You can count on me, Cara Mia!
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; whispering): I wonder what an almost 50-year-old has to talk with us about.
* Amad (lighting his cigar): So, would you two mind giving me your names?
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; nervous): Yessir, my name is Zachary Riley and this is Mia Louka-
* Amad (excited): Ah! Zachary Riley! You’re my daughter’s novio!

*Amad shakes Zachary’s hand.*

* Amad (smiling): I’m honor to finally meet you, mi hijo!
* Zachary (blushing): It’s an honor to meet you too, Mr. Alonzo-
* Amad (winking): Por favor, you call just call me Amad or even Papa. You’re part of the family after all.
* Zachary (nervous grin): I don’t think Madelina and I reached this step yet-
* Amad (grinning): So, you’re Mia? My daughter speaks very highly of you!
* Mia (in disbelief): Reallyyy…? Oh, I bet she did.
* Amad (smirking): She tells me you’re a strong woman and that she aspires to be like you one day!
* Mia (surprised): She really said all that about me?

*AH!!!*

* Amad (worried): Cara Bella, are you alright?!
* Rat (terrified): *Squeaks.*
* Michelle (furious; holding a book up): That filthy rodent came inside our house again!
* Amad (covering his face): Oh gods… Not that again.
* Amad (stretching his neck): Lo siento about this. We really want you to feel comfortable, but unfortunately this place is infested with pests, you see.
* Zachary (confused): How did you even end up in this place?! I was under the impression that your family is very rich?
* Amad (covering his face): Where do I even start..?
* Amad (smoking): Once upon a time, my family owned an oil business in New Concordia. The business was flourishing and it was able to finance our family for several generations and we all lived comfortably.
* Amad (covering his face): However, foolishly, I got into Nicoletta Marconi’s bad side. That woman was the leader of the Italian Mafia and when she and her men escaped their prison, they started an arson in our reservoirs!
* Amad (shocked): All our oil burned to flames! I was scared for my family so I decided to take all of us to live in Spain!
* Amad (covering his face): Unfortunately, no oil meant no business and no business meant no money. We were no longer able to live in mansions and we had to settle in this cheap apartment, barely able to pay rent.
* Mia (worried): Does… Madelina know about all of this?
* Amad (hopeless): *Sighs.* No, she does not.
* Zachary (sympathetic): Is that why you sent her to Graecita? To hide the truth from her and protect her from the struggle?
* Amad (sweating): Well…

*Michelle glares at him.*

* Michelle (holding her anger): …
* Mia (confused): Is something wrong? Why are you looking at each other like this?
* Amad (covering his face): I guess you can say this was part of the reason, but…
* Zachary (confused): But what?
* Amad (nervous): Mira, I mean this in the most respectful way when I talk about my daughter, but the truth is that as much as I want her with us, she is simply too expensive to keep around!
* Mia (appalled): What do you mean about this?!
* Amad (pulling his collar): Madelina, while a good girl she is, she’s a little careless when it comes to money. She doesn’t value it and spends a lot of it on clothes, makeup, accessories and just completely unnecessary things!
* Amad (covering her face): I don’t want to sound like I don’t trust her but… I have this fear that she’d be unable to adapt to our new circumstances and maybe land us even deeper into poverty!
* Mia (disgusted): So in other words, you’re calling your daughter… A burden?!
* Zachary (whispering): Mia!
* Amad (shocked): I- Never said this-!
* Mia (pissed): But that’s exactly what you meant! Your solution to your financial crisis was making her drop out of college, kick her out and send her into an island where none of her family and friends could see her again?!
* Mia (disgusted): Have you even considered what people who actually care about would think of this?! How much that’d affect their relationship with them?!
* Mia (angry): Did you even talk to your other older children and explain the situation to them instead of leaving them thinking that their sister decided to abandon them during hard times?!
* Amad (covering his face): Por favor, I feel guilty about this already! I didn’t want to settle to this solution but I had no other choice!
* Amad (serious): And it’s not like I left her with nothing! I gave her a credit card with thousands of dollars, hoping she’d spend it wisely but most of the money was gone already by the first week, further proving my point-
* Mia (furious): Except she didn’t spend it all superficially like you think! She used it on weapons to help us with one of our battles!
* Amad (sweating): Really-
* Zachary (appeasing): Can we all stop fighting and calm down? We have other things to worry about, right now.
* Zachary (curious): Mrs. Alonzo, did you find anything?
* Michelle (smiling; holding a book): Oh, I believe I have!
* Michelle (curious): How much do you two know about astrology?
* Zachary (confused): What?!
* Mia (impatient): Excuse me?! But what the hell does astrology have to do with any of this?!
* Michelle (indicating): As I expected you to know already, Cerus represents the constellation of Taurus!
* Michelle (eye rolling): You know how some astrologists believe that your zodiac sign defines one’s likes, personality and behaviors? Now, that stuff is mostly bullshit but there is a layer of truth about it.
* Michelle (indicating): These theories actually aligns with the real creatures behind these zodiac signs, so whatever information we have about the Taurus star sign, it corresponds to the bull.
* Michelle (thinking): Cerus was a friend of Persephone, who is the goddess of springtime. So naturally it can be assumed that the best way to tame him is using flowers.
* Zachary (chuckling): That’s it?
* Michelle (serious): But not just any flower! Instead you need to use the flower that represents the Taurus star sign!
* Mia (eye rolling): Which is?
* Michelle (smiling): Lilies!
* Mia (curious): So we just give him lilies and… That’s all? He’s our friend?
* Zachary (thinking): But now where do we get these lilies..? Do you have any in your home?
* Michelle (eye rolling): Unfortunately, my husband stopped buying me flowers.
* Amad (sweating): Hey! Do you even know what the price of flowers nowadays?! I swear those florists are trying to cheat us!
* Mia (smiling): Florist? Zachary! You remember Lala Antuñez? We can just get the flowers from her!
* Zachary (shocked): Oh shit! I forgot about her! Do you think she has lilies?
* Mia (determined): We’re not going to find out just by standing here! Lets go to her stand!

***Buy lilies from Lala (1 star).***

* Lala (shocked): Oh, Hola! Que are you doing aqui?
* Zachary (serious): Señorita Antuñez, remember when you asked if we wanted to buy flowers from you? We were wondering if you have any lilies available?
* Lala (blushing): Ah… Esta es a bit awkward…
* Mia (shocked): Wait! Where did all your flowers go?!
* Lala (awkward grin): They’re sold out!
* Mia (confused): Sold out?! But there were so many just about an hour ago?!
* Lala (excited): Si… I was struggling to sell them. That was until a nice una mujer decided to buy todas mis flores!
* Lala (compassionate): Not only did she do that kind act. Pero ella also gave them out to gentes for free and filmed sus reacciones for su QikQok!
* Zachary (curious): And who is that lady?
* Lala (blushing): Yo no se her name, but ella had long, pink hair-
* Mia (eye rolling): Yeah, I think I know who that is.
* Mia (pissed): Now great! Our one hope for catching Cerus is gone!
* Zachary (thinking): Hey, no need to lose hope. There may be other ways to tame him or we can go and talk to Marigold-
* Mia (crossing her arms): And what?! Ask her for the flowers? You heard what the florist said, she was giving them out for free so she could get some of that social media clout!
* Zachary (hopeful): I heard that, but chance is that maybe she’ll tell us who she gave the lilies to and they could give it to us!
* Mia (eye rolling): Assuming there were lilies to begin with. But fine, lets go talk to her.

***Ask Marigold for lilies (1 star; Prerequisite: Buy lilies from Lala).***

* Marigold (looking at her phone; smiling): OMG! A million views in 30 minutes?! LOL! It never fails to amaze me how gullible people are!
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; hand on hip): Uh, Marigold.
* Marigold (eye rolling): You again? YK I’m getting totes annoyed by how many times you’re approaching me. WDYW?
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; awkward grin): We saw your recent QikQok… *Whatever that is.*
* Marigold (flattered): So that explains it! You’re stans! What did you think of the vid?
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; serious): It was okay. But we want to know if you have any bouquet of lilies left!
* Marigold (thinking): You want free flowers, huh? Afraid that I gave them all away and there was one bouquet of the ones you were looking for anyway.
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; serious): If there was only one, then you remember who you gave it away to?
* Marigold (stumped): Gee… You really want those lilies, don’t you? And yeah, it was to some Mr. Monopoly-looking guy that was in La Monumental. IDK what’s his name though.
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; slight smile): Thank you for telling us!

*Marigold goes away.*

* Mia (stumped): So she gave it to some guy who looks like Mr. Monopoly. How are we supposed to track that man with this info?
* Zachary (shrugging): There must be a way. Anyway, she said she met him in La Monumental so it’s worth taking a look there!

***Investigate La Monumental (Prerequisite: Ask Marigold for lilies).***

* Zachary (covering his face): Oh gods… I don’t know what I was expecting. To just run into the guy here-?
* Mia (holding wallet): Looks like someone dropped their wallet here.
* Zachary (curious): Shit… They must be panicking right now! They’d probably appreciate if we hand it back to them, does it say who it belongs to?
* Mia (looking through the wallet): Yeah, there’s an ID and-
* Mia (shocked): OH MY GODS! Zach, I think we found our guy!
* Zachary (shocked): You did?!
* Mia (showing ID): Yeah, doesn’t he look like Mr. Monopoly to you?
* Zachary (chuckling): Well… He does. It’s VERY uncanny!
* Zachary (thinking): ID says his name is Archibald Gilchrist. So we have the identity, but now we have to figure out where to find him?
* Mia (smirking): I believe I have the answer to this question too!
* Mia (showing keycard): I found a keycard for a hotel by the name of “Mennagio Barcelona” on his wallet too!
* Zachary (impressed): Wow, so he’s loaded!
* Mia (serious): Yeah, now we have to find a way to sneak into the hotel without getting noticed and take the lilies!
* Zachary (confident): And I think I have a good idea!

***Steal the lilies from Archibald Gilchrist (1 star; Prerequisite: Investigate La Monumental).***

* Zachary and Mia (dressed as bellboys; Mia; eye rolling): I can’t believe this actually worked…
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; curious): Now that we’re on Floor C, can you remind me what’s the room number?
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; thinking): They keycard says he should be in room C10.
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; smiling): There it is! Lets ring the bell!

*Zachary rings the bell.*

* Archibald (annoyed): Who is this?!
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; fake smile): This is room service, we came to clean your room!
* Archibald (stumped): I do not recall calling for room service?!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; awkward grin): We go to every room in alphabetic and numeric order. You can turn us away… If you want.
* Archibald (crossing his arms): Now that I think about it, the room is a little dirty so you can come in.
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; relieved): Phew…

*Zachary and Mia start “cleaning” the room.*

* Mia (holding a mop): Zachary, look! The lilies!
* Zachary (glad): So that’s indeed our guy! Mia, you go try and sneak out with the lilies. I’ll be distracting the man!

*Mia sneaks her way near the lilies.*

* Archibald (using his phone): ¡Hola, policía?! ¡Me gustaría reportar una billetera perdida-!
* Zachary (sweating): Oh, Mr. Gilchrist! Are you looking for a wallet?
* Zachary (nervous grin): The staff found this one in the lobby, is that yours?!
* Archibald (confused): Huh?! It is mine, but… This doesn’t make since, it was already missing before I entered the hotel-

*The men hear a mop falling.*

* Mia (carrying a vase of lilies): Shit!
* Archibald (angry): Hey! What are you doing with my flowers?!
* Archibald (shocked): You aren’t bellboys, are you?!
* Mia (panicking): W-we can explain!
* Zachary (nervous): We swear we’re not hear to steal anything valuable for you! We just really need the lilies right now!
* Archibald (confused): So you snuck into me, a banker’s hotel room and the thing you’re here for is lilies?!
* Archibald (interested): Wait a minute! Are these some endangered species of lilies?!
* Archibald (pissed): Give them back to me!

*Archibald grabs the vase from Mia.*

* Mia and Archibald (fighting for the vase; Mia): Zach… A little help?
* Zachary (shocked): Shit! I have to do something!

*He finds a sink near Archibald.*

* Zachary (grinning): Aha!

*Zachary uses his water bending ability to control the water of one of the sinks to dispense at Archibald.*

* Archibald (wiping the water rom his face): AH! HOT, HOT, HOT!
* Archibald (furious): SECURITY!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; panicking): Come on, Mia! Lets run!

***Outside the hotel.***

* Mia (relieved): I am never doing this again!
* Zachary (relieved): We should be safe outside, I doubt they’ll bother chasing us-
* Police (Lead officer; serious): ¡Ahí están!
* Zachary (shocked): FUCK! Mia, RUN!

*They start running.*

* Police (lead officer; pissed): ¡Eh! ¡Deja de correr!
* Mia (in disbelief): Did that man seriously call the cops on us OVER FLOWERS?!
* Zachary (eye rolling): You’d think being as rich as he is, he’d let that one slide.

*They find an apartment building with outdoor metal stairs.*

* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; serious): I think I know how we could lose them!

*They climb the stairs.*

* Police (Officer 1; shocked): Mira! ¡Están ahí arriba!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; in a rush): Lets crash into one of the apartments!

***Inside a bedroom.***

*A couple are having sex.*

* Man (grinning): Te gusta eso, ¿no?
* Woman (faking an orgasm): *Ugh... ¿Cuándo va a terminar esto? Si tan solo me dijera que tenía un micropene de antemano-*

*Suddenly, Zachary and Mia crash in.*

* Zachary and Mia (Mia; sweating): Oh fuck- Sorry for interrupting… whatever you were doing-
* Man (shocked): AH-!

*The man ejaculates on the woman’s thighs.*

* Woman (shocked): AH!
* Man (panicking): ¡Dios mío! ¡Lo siento-!
* Woman (furious): ¡Patético hombrecito!

*The woman kicks the man in the balls.*

* Man (clutching his balls): AH!!!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; blushing): Come on, Mia! Lets get out of here!

*They storm out of this room and crash into another apartment.*

* Old lady (shocked): ¿Quién eres y qué demonios estás haciendo en mi apartemento?
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; panicking): Sorry, no time to explain!

*They jump out of the window.*

* Zachary (relieved): I think we lost the cops!
* Mia (serious): Thank gods! Now lets go to the alleys quickly!

***Outside the alleys.***

* Mia (worried): Shit! There’s cops everywhere!
* Zachary (hushing): Hush… We need to keep a low profile!
* Hyale and her crew (Hyale; serious): Finally you’re here! Where have you been?!
* Mia (confused): Hyale, what are all these cops doing out here?!
* Hyale and her crew (Hyale; panicking): They are starting an operation to eliminate the bull! There’s matadors everywhere in the alleys getting ready to kill Cerus!
* Zachary (shocked): Holy shit! We need to get in there immediately-!
* Officer (blocking): ¡Eh! ¡¿A dónde crees que vas?! ¡Esta área está restringida!
* Mia (covering her face): Oh great! They’re not letting us inside!
* Zachary (cracking his knuckles): I’ve got a solution for that!

*POW!*

* Officer (holding his eyes): AH!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; serious): Come on! Lets go in!

***In the alleys.***

* Mia (holding back laughter): Stealing, assaulting a cop and entering a restricted area… I think we may have broken every law in the city!
* Zachary (chuckling): I’d like to see a jail try to keep us in.
* Zachary (hushing): Now lets be quiet, we don’t want to scare off Cerus!
* Mia (nervous laugh): So HE’S the one who’s scared-?

*Grunting.*

* Zachary (shocked): Did you hear this?!
* Mia (pointing): Yes, I think its from that direction!
* Zachary (relieved): Thank gods! So they did not get Cerus yet!
* Mia (serious): Enough standing around, lets go!

***Capture Cerus (1 star).***

* Cerus (grazing): …
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; serious): Good, we found him! Now what’s left is to tame him!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; hushing): Remember, we don’t want to make any noise that’ll scare him away-
* Matador 1 (serious): ¡Encontré el toro!
* Matador 2 (serious): ¡Yo también puedo verlo!
* Matador 3 (serious): ¡En la cuenta de 3, lo emboscaremos juntos!
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; shocked): Oh no! The bullfighters found him too!
* Matador 3 (counting): 3… 2…
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; whooping): RUN!!!
* Matador 1 (confused): ¡¿Eh?! ¡¿Quién es?!
* Cerus (panicking): *Grunts!*

*Cerus runs away!*

* Matador 2 (shocked): ¡Está huyendo!
* Matador 3 (shouting): ¡ATACAR!

*The matadors run after the bull.*

* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; serious): We have to go after them before they corner him!

***At the town square.***

* Zachary and Mia (Mia; worried): Fuck, we’re too late!
* Matadors (Matador 3; grinning): ¡Ya no hay huida, toro!
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts!*

*Cerus charges.*

* Matadors (shocked): AH!

*He knocks each one of them cold.*

* Matadors (fainting): …
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; relieved): Phew.. At least those three were gotten rid of-
* Cerus (pissed): *Grunts!*
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; sweating): Zach, I think he noticed us-
* Cerus (angry): *Grunts!*
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; eye rolling): Ah, fuck!

*Cerus charges.*

* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; shocked): Mia, lets split up!

*They dodge the attack.*

* Cerus (furious): *Grunts!*
* Zachary (taking deep breaths): So you want a fight?

*He notices the fountain.*

* Zachary (water bending): Then lets do it!

*He shoots water at the bull.*

* Cerus (startled): *Grunts!*
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts!*

*Zachary and the bull fight.*

* Mia (shocked): Oh no! I can’t let Zach fight the bull alone!
* Mia (thinking): There has to be something I can do!

*She sees a pebble.*

* Mia (serious): A pebble that’ll gain its attention!
* Zachary (tired): Is that all what you’ve got, Cerus?
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts!*
* Zachary (wiping his sweat): If this goes on any longer-
* Mia (holding a pebble): 3… 2… 1!

*She throws the pebble at Cerus’ bum.*

* Cerus (startled): *Grunts!*
* Mia (worried): I hope this works!
* Zachary (shocked): Mia, what the hell-!
* Cerus (furious): *Grunts!*
* Zachary (panicking): NO!

*Cerus charges at Mia.*

* Cerus (furious): *Grunts!*
* Zachary (furious): Hey! Get away from her, focus on me!
* Mia (offering lilies; closing her eyes): Please don’t hurt me!

*Suddenly the bull stops.*

* Cerus (surprised): *Moo?*
* Mia (slosing her eyes): I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead-
* Mia (opening her eyes): Huh-?
* Cerus (flattered): *MOOO!*
* Mia (smiling): It- It worked?!
* Zachary (worried): Mia!

*He hugs her.*

* Mia and Zachary (hugging; Zachary): I swear to gods you scared me! Are you okay?!
* Mia and Zachary (Mia; happy): I am… I think I managed to tame him!
* Cerus (happy): *MOOO!*

*Suddenly the windows open and people look at the scene.*

* Citizen 1 (shocked): ¡Mierda santa! ¡Esos bastardos realmente lo domesticaron!
* Citizen 2 (shocked): El terror... ¡Finalmente se acabó!

*People start leaving their homes.*

* Crowd (celebrating): ¡ESTAMOS SALVADOS!
* Mia and Zachary (happy): You did it, Mia! You saved Barcelona and the bull! You’re a hero!

***Start of the broadcast…***

* Hyale (happy): Good Evening! This is Hyale from *Olympus News* and his time I come to you with great news- Cerus was put under control!
* Hyale (smiling): I am at the town’s square where the crisis had taken place and the people of Barcelona could not be any happier!
* Hyale (innocent smirk): Tourists are flooding the place which is now filled with decorations and music, all to celebrate the capture of the bull!
* Hyale (smiling): Speaking of the bull, there he is with our heroes- Mia Loukas and Zachary Riley. Do you want to say anything to our viewers!
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; pissed): Get this fucking camera away from my face!
* Hyale (nervous grin): You have just heard the latest news around the globe. Again this is *Olympus News*. News with no bias, news with no exception delivering nothing but the truth. This has been Reporter Hyale bringing you the latest news around the globe. Thank you for being with us.

***End of the broadcast…***

* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Zachary; curious): Hyale, you said someone is coming to get the bull. Where are they?
* Hyale (checking her watch): They should be hear soon, they shouldn’t be taking long…
* Hyale (smiling): While you’re waiting for them, why not enjoy the party-?
* Tony and his friend (Tony; nervous): Hello..?
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Zachary; grinning): Hey, you’re Madelina’s little brother? Is there something you want from us?
* Tony and his friend (Tony; nervous grin): No, but my friend has something she wants to give to the bull!
* Tony and his friend (Friend; smiling): ¡Escogí estas flores para él!
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; smiling): Wow! These are very beautiful flowers! What do you think, Cerus?
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Cerus; happy): *MOOO!*

*He licks the child’s face.*

* Tony and his friend (Friend; wiping her face; laughing): ¡Eh!

*The children go away.*

* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; yawning): Gods, I’m feeling bored! When will the people who Hyale called will come?
* Maetheron and Helmaer (Helmaer; curious): Excuse me, do you happen to be Mia and Zachary by any chance?
* Maetheron and Helmaer (Maetheron; serious): My name is Maetheron and that’s my colleague Helmaer, we came to take the bull back to the Underworld!

***Hand the bull over to Maetheron and Helmaer (1 star).***

* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Zachary; relieved): You must be the guys Hyale told us about!
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Zachary; handing the leash): Here’s the bull, he’s your problem now-
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Cerus; furious): *Grunts!*
* Maetheron and Helmaer (Helmaer; scared): I thought he was under control!
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; nervous grin): He is, he’s just… A little stubborn.
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; compassionate): Come on, Cerus. You have to go home!
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Cerus; stubborn): *Grunts!*
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; scolding): How do you think Persephone will react when she comes back and couldn’t find you? She won’t be happy, would she?
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Cerus; eye rolling): *Grunts!*
* Mia, Zachary and Cerus (Mia; handing the leash): I think he’ll comply now!

*She hands over the bull.*

* Maetheron, Helmaer and Cerus (Maetheron; serious): Thank you for helping us handle the bull! Hades will make sure you’re all greatly rewarded!

*The demons open and portal and jump inside it with the bull.*

* Mia (eye rolling): “Helping”? Ha! I think they meant making us do all the work!
* Zachary (shrugging): Here’s the gods for you!
* Band (Singer): I feel so unsure… As I take your hand and lead you to dancefloor…
* Band (singer): As the music dies… Something in your eyes! Calls to mind a silver screen and all its sad goodbyes!

*Everyone suddenly takes a partner to dance with.*

* Crowd (slowdancing): …
* Mia (covering her face): *Sighs*… I think its time for us to go back to the ship-

*Zachary touches her hand.*

* Mia (blushing): Z-Zach…
* Zachary (smiling): Would you like to dance with me?
* Mia (worried): Zach… I’m not sure if that’s-
* Zachary (scratching his head): Come one! It’s just for fun!
* Mia (hesitant): O-okay…

***Dance with Zachary (1 star; Prerequisite: Hand the bull over to Maetheron and Helmaer).***

* Band (Singer): I'm never gonna dance again! Guilty feet have got no rhythm… Though it's easy to pretend, I know you're not a fool!
* Zachary and Mia (dancing; Mia; blushing): …
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; concerned): Mia, you’re being awfully quiet… Are you tired?
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; sweating): N-no, its just… I’ve got a lot of things on mind…
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; compassionate): You know, if there’s something bothering you, you could always tell me. I am willing to listen.
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; blushing): I…
* Band (Singer): I should've known better than to cheat a friend! And waste the chance that I'd been given… So I'm never gonna dance again, The way I danced with you!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; concerned): Mia-?

*Mia kisses Zachary.*

* Zachary and Mia (kissing): …

*Mia then immediately pulls away.*

* Zachary (confused): Mia?!
* Mia (crying): I’m sorry. I-I have to go now!
* Zachary (Shocked): Mia, wait!

***Go after Mia (1 star; Prerequisite: Dance with Zachary).***

* Mia (crying): Oh my god… I can’t believe I did this… I’m such a whore!
* Zachary (relieved): There you are…
* Mia (wiping her tears): Zach…
* Zachary (serious): Mia, can we talk… About what happened back there?
* Mia (crossing her arms): What’s there to talk about?
* Zachary (confused): You told me that you… you…
* Mia (frowning): Moved on?
* Zachary (blushing): Well, yeah-
* Mia (pissed): Zach, I lied to you!
* Mia (holding back tears): I’m not OVER you, I’m still INTO you! I’m so in love with you that it’s actually embarrassing!
* Mia (wiping tears): I tried to be “just friends” like you asked me to but I can’t do it anymore! I can no longer accept this friendship when deep down I was something more!
* Zachary (sympathetic): Mia-
* Mia (tearful): The choice is easy, Zachary. It’s either me or Madelina!
* Mia (hopeless): And I’m sure she’s a wonderful lover, but… I love Zachary, I love you more than anyone else!
* Mia (tearful): So please, Zachary! Pick me, choose me, LOVE ME!
* Zachary (covering his face): *Sighs.*
* Mia (holding back tears): …
* Pegasus (blushing): *Alright… I guess this is the part where I come out?*
* Zachary (embarrassed): Pegasus?! How long have you been hearing us-
* Pegasus (serious): *Hey, look, brother! I’m not here to interfere into your personal life! Are you ready to go back to the ship or not?*
* Zachary (relieved): *Sighs.* Come on, Mia…
* Mia (wiping her tears): …

*Mia and Zachary mount on Pegasus.*

***In the Mediterranean.***

*It is snowing very badly on the sea. Zachary and Mia are flying over Pegasus’ back.*

* Pegasus (squinting): *I cannot see anything from all the snow! Have you spotted your ship?!*
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; squinting): I can’t see past the snow either, what about you Mia?
* Zachary and Mia (Mia; sad): …
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; hopeless): Goddamnit, Mia! I know you’re mad at me, but this isn’t the time for this, it’s been two days already!
* Pegasus (shocked): *I think I’m seeing a ship! Can you confirm that it’s yours?*
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; squinting): Where?!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; confident): Ah, yes! This is it! Take us there, Pegasus!

***Onboard of the ship.***

* Mary (observing): I see something coming toward us, can you make out what it is?
* Maverick (observing): It looks like a horse that has-
* Maverick (happy): That’s them! They’re back!

*Pegasus lands.*

* Zachary, Mia and Pegasus (Zachary; relieved): Finally, we’re back!

*Zachary and Mia unmount Pegasus.*

* Maverick (crossing his arms): Took you long enough!
* Zachary and Mia (Zachary; innocent smirk): Yeah, glad to see you too bro.
* Pegasus (serious): *Now that you both are back in one piece, I think this is my call to leave.*
* Zachary (worried): Don’t you want stay here a little, you know, to warm up before you fly?
* Pegasus (thinking): *I appreciate the offer but this would be unnecessary.*
* Zachary (bummed): I guess this is goodbye.
* Pegasus (serious): *Yes, I’m afraid I have to go. It was a pleasure aiding you, brother and I hope that we see each other again.*

*Pegasus flies away.*

* Mia (sad): …
* Maverick (whispering): Psst… Zach, what’s wrong with her?
* Zachary (covering his face): *Sighs.* I’d rather not say anything. Can you please take here inside the ship, I’ll be following you, I just need to do some stuff on deck.
* Mia and Maverick (Maverick; confused): Uh… Sure. Come on, Mia, lets get inside.

***In the wreck room.***

* Hasuro (excited; holding a tank): Guys, look! Memphis is starting to hatch!
* April (intrigued): Oh my god! I always wanted to see a butterfly leave its cocoon-!
* Mia and Maverick (Maverick; grinning): Guys, guess who we have back!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; relieved): Mia, thank gods you’re okay!
* Hasuro (concerned): Are you alone or did Zachary-
* Maverick (smirking): Yeah, Zach’s okay. He’s just on deck dealing with some stuff!
* April (serious): Thank goodness I haven’t made dinner already! I don’t want anyone to end up with smaller portions.
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; nervous grin): We’re so glad that you came out in one piece, we were scared that you guys may have-
* Mia (serious): Yoyo, Ophelia, can I speak to you two in private?
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; curious): Sure..? But why don’t you want anyone else to hear us?
* Mia (covering her face): I’ll tell you once we are in my cabin. What’s important is that Madelina doesn’t hear us-
* Madelina (furious): MIA DEMI LOUKAS!
* Mia (scared): Oh no-

***Get confronted by Madelina (1 star).***

* Madelina (pissed): You really have some nerve!
* Mia (nervous): Madelina, I can explain-
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; confused): What’s going on-?
* Madelina (angry): You better have a good explanation for how you acted toward my parents!
* Mia (confused): What-?!
* Madelina (furious): I can accept you acting mean towards me but what I won’t accept is you giving the same treatment to my family!
* Madelina (pissed): My father phoned me yesterday and told me all about how unpleasant you were to him! I get you don’t like me, but I really thought you at least had some manners!
* Mia (eye rolling): Oh my gods, I really don’t have the time to hear about this. Yoyo and Ophelia, lets go!

*Mia, Yoyo and Ophelia walk away.*

* Madelina (eye rolling): Of course! Go away! And avoid any sense of accountability, you fucking coward-!
* Zachary (shocked): Madelina! What the hell are you doing?!
* Madelina (blushing): Zach-
* Zachary (crossing his arms): What are you hurling insults at Mia for?!
* Madelina (eye rolling): Of course you’re going to take her side!
* Zachary (confused): Her side on what-
* Madelina (angry): You know exactly what I’m talking! Why didn’t you try to stop her when she started insulting my father?!
* Zachary (shocked): Insult your what-?! Madz, what did your father tell you exactly?
* Madelina (pissed): He told me that Mia was being ill-mannered and spoke unpleasantly about the choices he made!
* Zachary (covering his face): Madelina… Your father did not give you the full story. The truth is… When we spoke to him, he had spoken poorly of you…
* Madelina (shocked): W-what?! What did he say?!
* Zachary (serious): I can’t tell you since it may break your heart, but Mia didn’t insult your father out of the blue, she was criticizing the way he’s been treating you! She was defending you, Madelina!
* Madelina (regretful): Oh no…
* Zachary (covering his face): *Sighs.* Anyway, Maverick and I have to go outside to help Mary sail the ship. Please don’t feel too bad for what you just did, I just needed you to know the truth.
* Madelina (hopeless): I can’t believe this… So Mia was… Sticking up for me?
* Madelina (regretful): Oh no, I’m such a bitch! I have to go apologize to her!

***In Mia’s cabin.***

* Mia (relieved): Oh my gods! I was so afraid she somehow knew!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; confused): Mia, can you just tell us already what’s going on?
* Mia (nervous): Y-yes. I’ll get in on it, but please sit down first!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; confused): Ok..?

*Yoyo and Ophelia sit on the bed.*

* Mia (taking a deep breath): Here I go…
* Mia (ashamed): I kissed Zachary!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (shocked): What the-
* Mia (frustrated): I know, I know! I’m a whore!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (disgusted): What the hell were you thinking, Mia?!
* Mia (panicking): I-I don’t know! It all just happened quickly! We were dancing and there was romantic music playing in the background, and I-
* Mia (crying): I just couldn’t contain my feelings anymore! I kissed him and then I ran away! I felt so ashamed about it!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; disappointed): *Sighs.*
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; crossing her arms): And then what happened?
* Mia (sweating): I…
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; serious): What happened afterwards Mia? There’s no way Zachary made no response, what did he do after you kissed him?
* Mia (blushing): Well… He followed me and then I just basically poured out all my feelings to him and… I gave him an ultimatum.
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; stern): And what was the ultimatum?!
* Mia (hopeless): That he has to either pick me or Madelina-
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; furious): Are you fucking serious, Mia?!
* Mia (frustrated): I know, it’s fucked up! But I just couldn’t settle with just being friends with him! I… I wanted something more!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Ophelia; disappointed): I really tried being on your side, Mia. But this… This really just takes the cake!
* Mia (covering her face): I already feel about enough about it, please do not judge me!
* Mia (worried): Yoyo, you’ve been really quiet. Can you please say something?!
* Yoyo and Ophelia (Yoyo; blushing): I… I really don’t have anything to say.

***Outside the cabin.***

* Madelina (shocked): …
* Madelina (tearful): *Cough cough.*

***In the dining room.***

* April (holding a tray): Done! Now all what I have to do is put it in the furnace-
* April (worried): Hmmm… Not a lot of coal left, we really need more of it if we want to stay warm through the journey-
* Madelina (sad): *Cough cough.*
* April (startled): Ah!
* April (nervous grin): Ah, hey! You’re Madelina, right?
* Madelina (tearful): …
* April (sympathetic): Hey, is everything fine with you?
* Madelina (fainting): …
* April (shocked): Oh my goodness!
* April (worried): Oh no, we have to help her!
* April (panicking): EVERYONE! Inside the dining room, NOW!

***At Graecita, in the club…***

* Vicci (relieved): Hey guys, sorry I was late!
* Vicci (curious): Where’s Niilo? Has he not arrived yet?
* Captain and Cedrick (Captain; smirking): He’s on the dancefloor, dancing with his girlfriend.
* Niilo and Gina (Niilo; waving): Hey Vicci!
* Tyrees (eye rolling): At least one of us is having fun!
* Captain and Cedrick (Cedrick; chuckling): Are you still grumpy that your ex dumped you?
* Tyrees (grinning): What? No! I’m completely over her, in fact I’m looking for some hot chicks to slide into my bed!

***Outside the club...***

* Carriage rider (serious): Ladies, we’ve arrived!
* Marionette (excited): I cannot wait! I haven’t partied in such a long time! Are you excited, Shirley?
* Shirley (nervous): I’m a bit nervous… This is a first time I’ve ever went to a party!
* Shirley (annoyed): And those six-inch heels are killing me!
* Marionette (innocent smirk): I felt the same wall when I first wore heels, but you’ll get used to it!
* Shirley (nervous): Do you think the queen will get mad if she learns I borrowed one of her dresses?
* Marionette (eye rolling): She has millions of dresses, why would she care if one went missing?
* Marionette (excited): Now enough talking, lets party!

***In the club...***

* Tyrees (shocked): Hey, isn’t that Kaleb Willoughby’s hoe?!
* Captain and Cedrick (Captain; squinting): Marionette? Yeah, pretty sure that’s her!
* Tyrees (grinning): Damn, she bad as hell!
* Captain and Cedrick (Cedrick; smirking): Tyrees, you’re not planning to rizz her?
* Tyrees (confident): Watch me!
* Tyrees (whistling): *Whistles.*
* Tyrees (smiling): Hey, girl! Come here!
* Shirley and Marionette (Shirley; whispering): Lady Patrick, I think that man wants to talk to you!
* Tyrees (excited): Oh, she’s coming!

***Ask Marionette out (1 star).***

* Tyrees (grinned): Dayum girl! You’ve much some nice racks!
* Shirley and Marionette (Marionette; smirking): Thanks. I tried to keep it classy but with curves like mine, it’s hard to keep them covered.
* Tyrees (smirking): You’re Willoughby’s bitch, right? Does he know that you’re out clubbing?
* Shirley and Marionette (Marionette; eye rolling): We’re on a break, so I can’t care less for what he thinks! I came to have fun and that’s what I’m going to do!
* Shirley and Marionette (Marionette; grinning): Would you like to join me?
* Tyrees (winking): Don’t mind if I do!

*Tyrees goes with Marionette.*

* Shirley (nervous): …
* Vicci (staring): …
* Shirley (blushing): Ah!

*Shirley walks away.*

* Vicci (covering his face): *Sighs.* I have to go.
* Captain and Cedrick (Cedrick; shocked): Right now?! Dude, you literally just arrived!
* Vicci (crossing his arms): I don’t feel like partying.
* Captain and Cedrick (Cedrick; confused): See you later. I guess?

***In the bootcamp, at the stable.***

* Naunaeon (hungry): *NEIGH!*
* Vicci (compassionate): Hey there, feeling hungry?
* Naunaeon (impatient): *NEIGH!*
* Vicci (chuckling; holding a pitchfork): There, I’ll feed you right now.

*Vicci serves hay to the horse.*

* Naunaeon (eating): …
* Vicci (smirking): Enjoy your meal!

*Vicci throws the pitchfork. Someone ends up stepping on the tines causing the shaft to swing towards their crotch.*

* Niilo (Hit in the balls by a pitchfork): AH!!!
* Naunaeon (startled): *NEIGH!*
* Vicci (drawing his sword): Who’s here?!
* Niilo (clutches his balls): AH! Put that sword down! It’s just me!
* Vicci (confused): Niilo?! What the hell are you doing here?!
* Niilo (sweating): I- I just wanted to talk to you!

***Check on Vicci (1 star; Prerequisite: Ask Marionette out).***

* Vicci (crossing his arms): Why aren’t you in the club with the others?
* Niilo (blushing): I saw you leaving and… I wanted to see if you’re okay.
* Vicci (eye rolling): I’m fine, I just didn’t feel like partying.
* Niilo (sweating): Well… I saw your wife…
* Vicci (confused): My what now?!
* Niilo (awkward grin): The women you’ve been Iris-messaging back at Bonny’s ship, you told me it was your wife..?
* Vicci (eye rolling): Goodbye Niilo!

***At the yard.***

* Niilo (shocked): Vicci, wait!
* Vicci (annoyed): Niilo, leave it!

*Niilo pokes him with his sword.*

* Vicci (pissed): Hey!
* Niilo (drawing his sword): I’m not leaving me alone until you tell me what’s wrong with you!
* Vicci (hopeless): Niilo, I’m really not in the mood!
* Niilo (smirking): What? Scared of losing?
* Vicci (drawing; chuckling): Scared, huh? I’ll show you!

*The two begin swordfighting.*

* Vicci (drawing his word): Are you done, yet?
* Niilo (drawing his sword): Not until you’re willing to talk!

*Suddenly a dove flies over them, carrying a letter.*

* Dove (holding a letter): *Tweet!*

*The dove throws the letter over Niilo’s head.*

* Niilo (startled): Ow!
* Vicci (whooping): You alright here, Niilo?
* Niilo (confused; holding an envelope): Yeah… But some dove threw an envelope on my head!
* Niilo (shocked): Vicci, it’s addressed to you!\*
* Vicci (confused): A letter for me?!

*Vicci takes the envelope and opens it to read the letter.*

* Niilo (curious): Vicci, what does it say?
* Vicci (determined): I have to go!
* Niilo (shocked): What? Where?!
* Vicci (serious): To go and talk to someone!

*Vicci runs off.*
